We spent 3 hours here! Great for All Ages. My husband, I & our 3 kids (ages 19, 14 & 11) had a blast! Even better Teachers & staff get free admission with school Employee card! Only area that was a little crowded was the puzzle room! Go early or during slower times to really get to enjoy this specific room to the fullest! It had Interactive mind puzzles! They were so fun to do too!

I’ve booked 3 trips on trip advisor in the last 4 days. All of them in New Orleans. So when I searched a tour for today and typed in “museum of illusions New Orleans” I didn’t anticipate a different city popping up. My fault, but refund policies might be a little more lenient since, at least in New Orleans, we were able to walk up to purchase passes.

The Museum of Illusions is a fun family activity for older kids. It is located in an area of St. Louis with other family friendly activities and food options.

This is a hidden gem! So much fun and interactive. We spent about an hour here. And the staff is extremely helpful. They explained the exhibit and even take pictures for you to make you look fabulous.

Kids loved the exhibits especially the mirrors and upside down effects! Had a lot of fun! Just wish it was a little longer for the money

The museum was very hands on with lots of activities which left you in awe the entire time. The brain gym was our favorite. Attempting to solve all the puzzles we spent nearly 2 hours with multiple different brain teasers

Wasn’t long enough. Was fun but not worth $70 for a pair. Other than that the puzzle room was the best part. It really made me use my brain

It is a cool little place...emphasis on little. Needs to be about half the peice for admissions as it averages $30 per person and a child pays adult prices at 12 and up! You finish in 90 minutes or less and while you can stick around, it does not merit its price.

My favs: The vortex tunnel and the kaleidoscope you walk into. Oh, the building illusion before the actual renovations - st. Louis court house.
