Incredible experience, I loved all of the neat photo opportunities. The illusions were super super neat and mind blowing, also I loved trying to solve the puzzles 🧩







Creative place to get your brain thinking away from a tablet and video games. We parked next door at independence mall visitor center. About $20 to park. 5 min walk to museum. We had a good time. Like museum says, about 1 hour to walk through. You will want to take a minute to read and experience all the cool exhibits. All the illusions are detailed and fun to 'debunk'. Mind and vision games that kids can do and see results. Museum was clean. It's very hands on and I didn't mind. I recommend putting trip together with another stop in Philly because museum only takes up about an hour. Well worth the trip.


We had so much today at the museum of illusions. Perfect activity for my 12 and 9 year old. Staff was super friendly and helpful and Lailani made the trip awesome. She explained each thing to us and made it more enjoyable. She also took photos of us which made for great memories. Highly recommend the visit to this place. We spent about an hour there and had a blast!





This place was amazing! So many things to check out! We were there for about an hour and a half and took so many photos! My husband and I went for a valentines day date and the staff were very friendly and helpful , especially Kenny! He really took the time to explain how some of the illusions worked, and even took a few of the photos for us! We definitely want to come back with our son!














I am a Tour Guide for the Historic District here in Philly. When I saw that we had a MOI, I immediately knew I had to go check it out!
The Museum is of course, a must see; optical illusions to bend your mind and warp your reality await, right inside the quaint little spot off of 4th and Market.
My favorite had to be the mirrored card room! The space was clean and well maintained, with staff and customers engaging in puzzles, illusions, and art.
The highlight of my experience, though, was a fantastic employee! Since I had come to the Museum on my own, they offered to take me on a tour of the space; mind-melders are best experienced with others! Rin helped me store my stuff, showed me how the pieces were to be interacted with, and even helped take some pictures for me (see below)! They also impressively completed a puzzle that would have (still does) had me stumped!! They didn't crowd me, either; explaining a piece, answering questions, and accomplishing other tasks the had to do without missing a beat! (You may have a secret superhero on your hands!) Such a perfect way to experience that space and the amazing art and thoughtful things Inside. ✨💙💪🏾💙✨
I thoroughly enjoyed every minute I spent there!! Give Rin a raise!!!

Whatever collection they have It's obviously good. But I feel it's overpriced compered to what they have offered. Pretty small space with limited number of collections. Should not take even 30 mins to complete the tour. We went on weekend and the crowd was moderate. Would have been justified if the ticket price is around $10. We felt the tour ended even before It's started.









We had a lot of fun and enjoyed our visit to the museum. I think it's a little over priced, but, if you overlook that, then I would recommend going. It's not very big, but what they have is cool! Fun for a group, more fun than if you were to go by yourself. I could enjoy a large metropolitan museum by myself, but this is more interactive and probably best to go with someone else.




I absolutely loved the place. Every illusion had a detailed description of how our brain sees things differently and the illusions were just mind blowing. They were so helpful to put a camera sign to show where to take the best pictures. The illusions are just fantastic and it is great for a good family time. Thank you for an awesome experience 😊
