We went here cos the weather wasn't up to much, excellent place to go to see some brain twisting experiences. It had the usual visual things like seeing 2 people at once, i.e. old woman, young women in the same image. but there was a good selection of holograms and plenty of illusions to baffle you.
There is a gift...

The best value attraction of the whole holiday! You can't go wrong for 2 hours of all weather entertainment for less than £20 for a family of four. Very interesting exhibits and interactive things for young and old to enjoy. Take your camera for some really cool photos. Staff weren't the friendliest but you only need to pay them and...

Fun indoor attraction. Great way to spend an hour or so on a wet day. Lots of hands-on optical illusions to enjoy as well as the hologram room. Good value at 3.80GBP adults or free for the under 5s. I liked the sloping room and the chair that makes you shrink. Highly recommended.

Lots of tricks to fool your eyes, holograms that seem to leap from the wall, images that move just by starring at them. A fascinating attraction

Lovely interactive attraction, where you are encouraged to touch as much as you want. Lots of puzzles and illusions to keep you busy. A great idea on a wet day (but can get busy). Great shop with different puzzles, games and bits.

Surprised how good this is, looks like a small shop when you go it but we ended up being in there around 2 hours, was a real laugh

We were passing and saw a couple of peole go in, so we followed, and were pleasantly suprised. Last month we had been to Blackpool Pleasure Beach which has something similar, with the visual illusions, but this surpassed that. There's a large collection of holograms, and visual trickery. The sloping room is mystifying, and had my balance completely off centre....

I recently visited this museum with a group of work colleagues as part of a day out in Keswick. On paying for our tickets one Of my friends happened to ask if they offered discount to the NHS, the ticket seller looked puzzled and asked why should NHS be offered discount. My friend explained that sometimes businesses do offer such...
