Cute little optical illusions

4.00Let's start of with the positive, put the negative in the middle, and end it with a positive again.... It is a cute little museum, located within the heart of uptown Charlotte. It is in walking distance to many resteraunts and other museums. And a person who doesn't like to be anywhere longer than an hour, would get there fill here However, I took off a star because it needs to expand. There needs to be an upper AND lower level. And there needs to be more interactive things to do. And a children's indoor playground and a canteen or resteraunt would be nice. That way people would be tempted to hang around longer. That said, you can get accomplished everything you would like to do in an hour. And there are a lot of picture opportunities that also provide a load of laughter. It will definitely put a smile on your face
Cute but ridiculously overpriced

3.00This was good BUT TOO EXPENSIVE for what it is. For a family of 4 this was about $130 ….there are literally 4 cool “illusions” the rest of the “fifty illusions” advertised are basically optical illusion puzzle pictures on the wall ….. but n times where EVERYTHING costs a fortune for families I just want you to know what this really is. This should be a $50 activity for a family of 4….$124 is just not worth it - WAY OVERPRICED for what it is.
Amazing place for family or friends !

5.00This museum offers a variety of fun and interactive exhibits, including illusion rooms and optical displays for amazing photo opportunities. The staff are friendly and always willing to help you take a picture. Although the museum is on the smaller side, it's very well laid out with plenty to see and do in a compact space. Conveniently, there are lockers near the entrance to store your belongings. My sister bought our tickets online, and it wasn't very busy when we visited, so we had lots of time to experiment, take pictures, and really enjoy the exhibits.
Best place for a trippy experience

5.00This is a great family outing, my 13-year-old loved it, and so did I! It only takes 1-1.5 hours to get through all the exhibits, but we had a great time, and got lots of cool pictures.
