What parents say
"Got the chance to stop by here while I was waiting for a flight in Dallas. Super fun little space and was able to kill a good enough amount of time. Be sure to bring a camera to take plenty of photos! The staff was super nice and helpful as well. While it is very fun to visit, it's definitely a one time go for me unless they switch up the exhibits? I'm not sure on this because I am not a local. A fun date idea or day out with the family for sure!"

"I love optical illusions so this was right up my alley! There's a lot packed into this very interactive space. We didn't buy tickets in advance and they don't sell them at the entrance. You must purchase them online (there's a QR code posted on the entry door). Once purchased online we were able to check in and enter immediately. I loved the clear instructions by each illusion. The labels on the floor help you get optimal pictures. There was plenty of helpful staff members around - all very happy to explain the illusions, give photo tips and snap pics. The store has a lot of neat brain puzz"
