EXPERIENCE THE IMPOSSIBLE Museum of Illusions Manchester

Brilliant! So much fun...my 8 year old nephew loved it. We arrived bang on 10am. So glad we did as it were getting very busy by 11. We found an hour was long enough to visit everything at this quieter time. Everything was well organised and the staff were very helpful and friendly. I would definitely recommend it 👍

Museum of Illusions Manchester – A Truly Mind-Bending Experience!

We recently visited the Museum of Illusions in Manchester, and it was absolutely fantastic! If you're looking for something fun, unique, and a little surreal in the city, this place is a must-visit.

From the moment we stepped inside, we were transported into a world where nothing was quite as it seemed. What really made the experience special was how interactive everything was. We had so much fun trying to figure out the illusions, and the photo opportunities were brilliant. We spent ages in the Reversed Room taking hilarious upside-down shots, and the Vortex Tunnel gave us a real challenge with our balance—in the best way possible!

The Manchester-themed illusions, like the tram and the building hang, added a clever local touch that we really appreciated. But it wasn’t just about the visual tricks—each exhibit came with a clear explanation of how the illusion works, which made the experience educational and fascinating for all ages.

The staff were incredibly helpful, accommodative and friendly. A special shout-out to Izzie, who was an absolute star! Her enthusiasm was contagious, and she went above and beyond to help us capture the perfect photos. Her knowledge and energy really enhanced our visit—keep up the great work, Izzie!

Whether you're visiting with kids, teenagers, or adults, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. We left with some amazing, head-scratching photos and a new appreciation for how easily our minds can be tricked. It’s a brilliant way to spend a couple of hours filled with fun, laughter, and wonder.
Locker and toilet facilities available inside which is very handy.
Highly recommended!

Had an amazing experience, I would most definitely recommend.
The staff were very friendly and took some pictures if needed.
I’d definitely go back in a heart beat.
My ADHD brain loved it 😂
