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!

Great experience BUT!!!! Busy and tbh a bit rushed getting round. You get some great one of photos but unless you a bit forward yourself you can feel a bit rushed. It’s a five out of 10,, also think for what it was it was a bit expensive. However the staff where excellent and I’d give them 11/10
