The museum of illusions was a lot of fun, but here are some tips to make it really worth your while.
1. Booking ahead does help as you may see a long line outside of the door as you walk up to the museum.
2. Booking the VIP is the best way to go and here is why: The VIP experience is $120 for two people (so $60 each if you're bad at math). You're assigned a photographer who walks with you through the 40+ illusions and will take your photo. While you're able to still take pictures with your cell phone, having someone there does a lot of things for you. It saves you time as you're able to get the shots quicker, it ensures you are doing the illusion properly so when you take the photo it makes sense, AND most importantly, you're able to cut the line and go straight in. Without the VIP, based on the crowd the day we went we would have waited hours to get through.
3. Wear fun clothes that are also light. There are a lot of things to take pics in front of, but also, it got really hot as all of these bodies are moving around so we were definitely sweating throughout our time. It felt like a lot of work! It was fun, but a lot of work.
Okay, so about the museum. As mentioned, there are over 40+ illusions to stand in front of. If you don't do the VIP, what's nice is near each of them is a photo of what it should look like. They have icons on the group as to where you should aim your camera so it really does help you out. Some of the scenes are really interestingly and some area just okay. I was surprised with how much they crammed into a small space like that, which on one side is bad because you do sometimes have to worry about people accidently walking through your image so be patient.
Oh, the best part about the VIP is about a week later they will email you a folder with all of your images. A huge file was sent to use with around 80 pictures from our time there. They turned out so much better than our iPhone pictures and they even did some editing to them as well. Was totally worth the extra cost.
Was something worth doing once. If you're looking to spruce up your IG with some fun pics, this is the place to do it.
