This was the highlight of our trip!! It was so much fun, and the staff were so helpful with suggestions and picture-taking. It only takes about an hour, and its located near great restaurants, etc.

Spent about 75 minutes here and it was super fun - but you'll want to go with someone who can get into it, not a grouch. Got there right at opening and had the place to ourselves. By the time we left was getting unruly with teenagers. Need a better way for ppl to line up when it gets crowded so others aren't interrupting your experience or game.

The content of the exhibition is surprising and even more! It is beautiful, informative and fun at the same time but... there were too many of us in a tiny space... there is no check of tickets at the entrance... nor reservations... too bad, because it harms the experience which could have been excellent and which was frustrating...

Very small museum with lots of people inside. Nothing impressive, mostly pictures on the wall with subtle to no illusions. Not worth the time or price

Very close to Place d’Armes metro station (3 minutes walk); makes it quick and simple to get to. We got there a bit early (10 minutes before our reservation), so I thought they would have us wait before getting in, but they invited us in the exhibit right away after checking our coats (no extra charge). It was nice not to wait, but looking back, it was very crowded and it feels like they should control the amount of people better.

It is a rather small museum and it often felt like we couldn’t have a calm and uninterrupted moment to appreciate and get to understand the illusions properly. For some of them, a certain distance was recommended to see what there was to see and the crowd walking around and in front of you made it difficult. Also, we relied on reading the instructions to understand what to do. It would have been nice to have one or two employees walking around to answer questions and and help with some of the proper positioning.

Another reason for some employees to walk around the exhibit would be to witness and fix some of the inconveniences. There was some water dropping from the ceiling in some areas (I was told it was the air conditioning system (can’t imagine how it would be in the summer time); there was a spill that was identified (so we wouldn’t step on it), but was not cleaned for the whole time we were there; near the « main attraction », the tunnel, there was a very strong urine smell (metro station like), which was very unwelcoming; finally, for some of the few logic games, they instructions where half erased and no one to fill in the blanks. This is a brand new museum and it looked and felt very used and in need of TLC in some areas.

There is potential with the concept, but a lot of improvements would be required in order for the entry fee to make sense. My 9 year old really enjoyed herself overall (she has no notion of how much it cost), but as an adult I was definitely hoping for a more pleasant experience.

Very fun and interactive. Cool trick pics and illusions that make you scratch your head. Went when it first opened to avoid the crowds. It does get very congested with lots of little kids but going early was a good strategy. Spent about an hour there.
