Museum of Illusions Washington DC

Wow. Had an amazing time filled with laughter. Our guide Kim was extremely friendly and helpful as we experienced all of the exhibits and illusions. This museam is highly interactive and fun for all ages. We hadn't even realized we were there for two hours because we became engrossed in the puzzles. A great time!

We (4 adults, 2 children under 12) LOL at the many illusions and games. It was really great fun. The place is clean and tidy. The employees are helpful and friendly in explaining where to stand and get the most out of the experience. It's a bit pricy, but we felt that the attractions were so well done and that we got our money's worth. The rotating tunnel was a real mind-bender!

My daughter let me know: “Illusions are my favorite!!” So I grabbed some tix to MoI & she was SOOOO excited to be going, while on our travel. Understand my dismay when we arrive JUST as a group of about 20-30 adults on a team building exercise, scheduled for the same time as our reserved tickets!!!

But the staff (led by Tracy & supported by Cesar) ENSURED my daughter (and even I! lol) had an AMAZING time. Tracy ushered us away from the crowd and guided us through the illusions towards the end, then rotated us to the entrance after the group had cleared. We didn’t even realize they were there…(figuratively of course, but real talk!)

And that’s KEY to these types of museums, especially with children - that they have space to explore without adults rushing them. Tracy and Cesar made sure my daughter had the space she needed to have THE BEST experience of our week in DC.

The museum is great! But when coupled with the staff, it becomes a truly reality altering experience!
