- Dan WSouthampton, United Kingdom3 contributionsIllusion MuseumThis was a brilliant visit, wasn't really sure what to expect when I visited late this afternoon but was very pleasantly surprised by it. Pretty much every illusion in the museum is amazing and will leave you scratching your head. My guide Kasia, was brilliant... she was very knowledgeable and helpful with every single illusion and spoke perfect English and also took some great photos for me. If I come to Krakow again I will certainly give the place another visit and will recommend it to any of my friends that want to visit Krakow in the future 😊Hello! Thank you for your time writing this amazing review. We are very happy to hear you loved the museum and Kasia's company! She also sends you best wishes and thanks for a good time. Such reviews keep us going.:) We will be more than glad to welcome you next time you visit!

- ItsmefolksPoole, United Kingdom8 contributionsMuseum of Illusions, KrakowWe have a few days in Krakow and found ourselves with some time on our hands. So we looked at the leaflets in the hotel and decided to go to the Museum of illusions. What a great choice. This was 2hrs well spent going round the museum and playing with all of the interactive exhibits. There are plenty of very friendly helpful staff on hand to show visitors what to do and explain the illusions. Time well spent and worth a visit.Thank you very much for this lovely review! It's really great to know that you decided to come and were pleasantly surprised. Your good memories are most important thing for us :).

- FionaY68Aberdeen, United Kingdom128 contributionsFascinating, fun, intriguingThis small museum is a wonderful place to while away an hour or so! Fascinating exhibits, many of which are interactive and all of which are guaranteed to incite a gasp of disbelief or a smile. The museum staff are so friendly and cheerful, very knowledgeable about the exhibits and so happy to help with an explantation or demonstration. We absolutely loved it!Visited September 2020Traveled as a coupleWritten September 6, 2020

Some great illusions to see, both visual and interactive too! Would be great for kids. Not too long either so can fill a smaller gap in the day.

Great lighthearted fun! Dante showed us around the museum and showed us a lot of hints and tips on how to get the most out of the interactive exhibitions, he also had lots of knowledge about the artwork that was inside the museum which was really interesting!

We decided to visit the Illusion museum after seeing it on TikTok. We thought it was very cheap to get in and we spent about an hour in there. There was lots of things you can have a go at and see how illusions are created- very interesting. It’s good for people of any age and I think kids would love it too. There are plenty are photo opportunities and the chance to take some funny pictures too. The staff are welcoming and helpful and happy to help take photos if you’re in a pair or group. Would definitely recommend, we loved it here.

Although we somewhat enjoyed our experience here we found it to be quite expensive for what it was (£10 each). It took less than an hour to visit from start to finish. On the plus side, staff are very helpful and informative and some interactive activities and interesting things to see.

Absolutely brilliant experience. Julia and Dante were absolutely fantastic. They were both full of knowledge and ensured we knew many facts about the different exhibits.
It was such a fun time and Julia and Dante were definitely a big part of our experience.
Thank you so much !

It is something else than other things in Kraków and fun for 5 yo, but by the rating I would expect much better. Compared to for example Museum of Illusions in Edinburgh this is a laugh especially that the price is the same. If you want to pass through average activity with kids, ok but don’t expected anything special on international Trip-Advisor quality level. Conclusion: Overrated.

Hello Piotr,
thank you for your visit and review. We do appreciate all feedback from our guests as it is what enables our development in the future. We are sorry that your visit to our museum was disappointing and did not quite meet your expectations. We try to make our exhibition as interesting as possible and we are constantly expanding it with new exhibits from the fields such as optics, biology, psychology, and art so that every visitor feels fully satisfied. We hope that at least part of the exhibition turned out to be interesting for you. One more thing: our tickets are actually much cheaper than the ones at the Museum of Illusions in Edinburgh. For example, in Edinburgh standard adult ticket costs £21.95 (about 120 PLN), while our adult ticket costs 55 PLN (about £10). Dawid
