a week agoThe whole family loved it. The building is very small, but they did pack a lot in a small space. It's very hands-on, and they tell you to touch everything. They have markers to help give you the best pictures. They also have staff constantly walking around helping you out.

a month agoHad the most fun!! We did not have somebody to take photos for many of the illusions, but no worries the wonderful Angelo helped us every time. He was so great! He helped us pose right and get so many wonderful photos. Definitely recommend asking his assistance if you see him. Angelo was a dream!! Got hundreds of great pics. Fun for adults !!

a month agoTook our 11 yo grandson who loves magic! Obviously right up his alley. He LOVED it! Spent that evening and most of the next day talking about it. Figured out how all of the illusions worked, except the vortex tunnel. Can't figure out how the video turned us upside down. What an amazing adventure for an inquisitive 11 year old. Well done!
