Experience the impossible Museum of Illusions Philadelphia

Really loved it here. For a smaller place it had a lot of stuff to do and look at for a good price. The puzzles were rlly fun and a bit challenging. We got stuck on the dot puzzle and Rin helped us. We figured it real quick too. Definitely liked the vortex tunnel it was fun to walk through. I would come here again with more friends.

There doesn't seem to be a lot of things to do in Philly if you're not a history buff. But we were in town specifically to visit Max's Steaks (HIGHLY recommended, by the way) and Reading Terminal Market (also HIGHLY recommended) anyway and needed to find something to pass some time. A family member recently visited the NYC location so we gave it go. Our group of four adults (30/40's) thoroughly enjoyed this experience and there is something for all ages to enjoy. Along with the optical illusion exhibits, there are puzzle games that are sure to keep you occupied for awhile. The five-star rating is mostly due to the excellent customer service and engagement of the staff. Kudos to all! It is obvious they love working there and they were a major contributor to our overall positive experience. Their excitement was contagious and impressive. I would definitely recommend this activity for out-of-town guests of mixed ages. We visited on a Friday afternoon and there was no wait. We were able to scan a QR code at the entrance and purchase tickets within 2 minutes, but you can also purchase tickets in advance at the website. One quick scan at the entrance desk and you're in. You can explore at your own pace and the staff are ready to assist if you're having trouble using some of the exhibits or a puzzle has you completely stumped.

This place was a lot of fun. It was cool to be able to not only learn more about illusions but also to become a part of some illusions as well!

I would recommend going during the week when it isn't as busy if you want to get a lot of good photos. It's hard to get good pictures with a lot of people coming through. It gets crowded.
