Museum of Illusions Dubai

Amazing Illusions

Neat to see the different techniques.Filipinos was helping me.Good gir every one .I've been to Museums of Illusions in Zagreb n Slovenia. There's one in Miami Beach but never went n live there.

Amazing experience

Amazing experience in this small museum. Support staff was super helpful to explain the logics, take pictures etc. one can spend about 45 min to an hour here.

Not worth it

Not at all worth it. The stuff doesn't guide you about the illustrations. When we visited it was morning so not much crowd. It felt like a boring place. Waste of the amount paid. Too much high entry fee and not worth it

Museum of illusions

The museum is very fun and interesting and interactive. We purchased a few games to take back to our hotel and play.Awesome place to enjoy with family and kids. Lots of puzzles to solve.

Waist of money and time

The museum is very small and not a lot of display. Jut a half hour tour. The staff was very nice. The display were old and the tickets cost a lot of money

Keep your expectation low!!!!

A very small place with very low number of installations/activities. It is extremely overpriced. 85 AED per adult!! It takes hardly 20 minutes to complete the "experience". It has a few installation which are mostly very basic- nothing to connect to illusions! Far too low for Dubai standards! One can expect a 20-25 AED experience only! I so sad that I took nine of my relatives together to such a terrible place! Young children may enjoy. Ample parking space available.

Cool, Entertaining, Interactive Fun!!! 📸

Dubai's Museum of Illusions is incredible! Didn't know this place existed till about 2 years ago. This was shortly the time before Covid-19 messed up the whole world for a good while, so the opportunity didn't present itself to visit for obvious reasons. Have heard of other Museums of Illusions around the world- (mostly in major cities), but never got a chance to visit. This one in Dubai is located in Al Seef, Heritage Area; an expansive tourist lover's cultural epi-center/hub in Dubai Creek. The Museum is quite small, yet packs a plethora of fun, immersive and fascinating experiences into its tiny space. The staff at Museum of Illusions are amazing! They are helpful, friendly, jovial and extremely professional. Since I went alone, they were always at hand ready to walk/talk me through everything, guide and take pictures of me. I met MAY first; then later on, I came into contact with ARLENE and then JEAN. Another lady was SHINE. They were all super awesome- bless their hearts! 🙏🏽 At the Museum of Illusions, Dubai, they had: AMES ROOM (cubic room where objects appear to grow or shrink), COLOR ROOM, HEAD ON A PLATE ILLUSION, BEUCHET CHAIR ILLUSION, TILTED ROOM and HYPNOTIZING TURNTABLES. The Tilted Room, Head On A Plate, Beuchet Chair and Hypnotizing Turntables were by far the coolest experiences there; (refer to my posted pictures). There were numerous exhibits/depictions of a variety of holograms and illusions like: AFTER IMAGE LIGHT BUBBLE ILLUSION, JASTROW IILUSION, COLORS ILLUSION, MOVING CIRCLES ILLUSION, THE BLACK DOT ILLUSION, HOLLOW FACE ILLUSION, MULLER LYER ILLUSION, ANGLE ILLUSION, MOVING ILLUSION, PICTURE ILLUSION, SWAP NOSES ILLUSION, FLOATING CIRCLE ILLUSION, SHEPHARD BOXES ILLUSION, GRID ILLUSION, CAFE WALL ILLUSION and FRAISER SPIRAL ILLUSION. They also feature the ZOETROPE (geometrical spinning strobe light- a new animation device invented by John Edmark in 2014), INFINITY TUNNEL, CLONE TABLE, IMPOSSIBLE TRIANGLE, BLIVET (a contradiction), MAGIC BOX, BULGING SQUARES, AMBIGUOUS CYLINDER, MASTER OF NUMBERS, HYPNOTIC VIBES, APPARITIONS, KALEIDOSCOPE TUBE, 3D PYRAMIDS and lots of TANGRAMS. Museum of Illusions also has a number of cube games with wooden pieces and puzzles, including BRAIN STORM, 10 SUM, T TIME, SWITCH ON and OTHELLO (Reversi)- a strategic game. To sum it all up, this place is fantabulousl! Though there isn't much that would entertain and 'sustain' small children, I'd stay it's definitely a place well worth visiting. It packs a fun, immersive, interactive experience into an adorable place that will be sure to make you laugh, grin, chuckle, or at the very least, put a big smile on your face! 😁 I know it did for me! My only regret is that I came here solo! ☹ Imagine how great a experience this place would be if you visit with a friend or relative, or with a bunch of friends and family! I'd like to give a big shout out to MAY. She made the experience at Museum of Illusions all that more enjoyable. She's a delightful and lovely lady. Thanks MAY FOR MAKING MY DAY! 😆 Also a big pat on the back to JEAN, ARLENE and SHINE. The employees here rock! 🤘🏽 Y'all should be proud that you assembled a phenomenal team! 👏🏽 I really enjoyed this fascinating museum, and cannot wait to come back with one of my daughters, sisters or a friend. It ticks all the boxes of how and what an entertainment facility should be, so it just has to get a perfect rating from me. It sure beats spending a boring, lifeless day at the mall! The Museum of Illusions is most definitely a place well-worth visiting anytime one comes to Dubai and I highly, highly, highly recommend it!!! 👍🏽👏🏽👍🏽👏🏽👍🏽👏🏽

Not worth it

Only the pictures are good . When you visit you realise its not worth it . The price is too high and its just for 10mins visit . Nothing that great to see

Museum visit

Fun, but could have been bigger with more exciting things to do. The place was far from other tourist attractions and kind of unsafe to walk for women when it’s dark

Magic Is Everywhere

There was so much to see and experience, the illusions where mind blowing. The staff where so professional and helpful specially assisting us and explaining how most of the attractions work. I would definitely advise people to visit here.

Great museum for kids AND adults 😄

We spent an amazing afternoon with my 2 kids. They loved all experiences and it was very insightful. They really learnt a lot about optical illusions. I highly recommended 👍🏼

Fantastic

Loved the place. Learnt a lot about mind games..big thanks to Maya who guided us through the journey which made it so meaningful and fun! Highly recommended for a different kind of fun

Illusion dans le vieux village

Très sympa à faire en famille, les illusions sont pour certaines incroyables. Il se trouve dans un village ancien

LA GRANDE ILLUSION...

LE MUSÉE EST FERMÉ POUR TRAVAUX . Aucune date mentionnée pour la réouverture. Quel dommage de na pas le signaler dans les guides.

Attrazione carina ma non grandiosa

Esperienza carina, rilassante e divertente. Niente di strabiliante in questo spazio destinato alle illusioni ottiche, tramite diverse esperienze che possono essere fotografate, e documentate grazie all'aiuto dello staff. Diciamo che questa attrazione si distingue per il non essere grandiosa rispetto a tante altre di Dubai, ciò nonostante offre spunti di riflessione e permette di passare mezz'ora tre - quarti d'ora gradevoli, tra uno scatto e l'altro. Piccola pecca, gli interni risultano poco manutenzionati, e gli strumenti da utilizzare molto usurati.

Bella esperienza

Esperienza divertente e molto particolare. Sicuramente poche attrazioni, però quelle che ci sono valgono il prezzo del biglietto. Personale gentile e disponibile, ti aiuta con le foto.

Endroit incontournable, à faire en couple ou en famille

C'est un musée où vous pouvez voir des illusions d'optique, mais également un endroit où vous êtes acteur de ces illusions en vous mettant dans des situations particulières pour des expériences magiques et inédites. Les deux demoiselles présentent nous ont aidé à comprendre comment nous placer, toujours avec le sourire. A faire.

Muito bom!!!

Diversão garantida. Cumpre com os objetivos que se propõe, de enganar seu cérebro!!! Fui com duas crianças (8 e 11 anos) que se divertiram muito. Equipe muro atenciosa e te ajuda a entender as atrações, bem como tirar foto da forma correta.
