Cool, Entertaining, Interactive Fun!!! πΈ
Dubai's Museum of Illusions is incredible! Didn't know this place existed till about 2 years ago. This was shortly the time before Covid-19 messed up the whole world for a good while, so the opportunity didn't present itself to visit for obvious reasons. Have heard of other Museums of Illusions around the world- (mostly in major cities), but never got a chance to visit. This one in Dubai is located in Al Seef, Heritage Area; an expansive tourist lover's cultural epi-center/hub in Dubai Creek. The Museum is quite small, yet packs a plethora of fun, immersive and fascinating experiences into its tiny space. The staff at Museum of Illusions are amazing! They are helpful, friendly, jovial and extremely professional. Since I went alone, they were always at hand ready to walk/talk me through everything, guide and take pictures of me. I met MAY first; then later on, I came into contact with ARLENE and then JEAN. Another lady was SHINE. They were all super awesome- bless their hearts! ππ½At the Museum of Illusions, Dubai, they had: AMES ROOM (cubic room where objects appear to grow or shrink), COLOR ROOM, HEAD ON A PLATE ILLUSION, BEUCHET CHAIR ILLUSION, TILTED ROOM and HYPNOTIZING TURNTABLES. The Tilted Room, Head On A Plate, Beuchet Chair and Hypnotizing Turntables were by far the coolest experiences there; (refer to my posted pictures). There were numerous exhibits/depictions of a variety of holograms and illusions like: AFTER IMAGE LIGHT BUBBLE ILLUSION, JASTROW IILUSION, COLORS ILLUSION, MOVING CIRCLES ILLUSION, THE BLACK DOT ILLUSION, HOLLOW FACE ILLUSION, MULLER LYER ILLUSION, ANGLE ILLUSION, MOVING ILLUSION, PICTURE ILLUSION, SWAP NOSES ILLUSION, FLOATING CIRCLE ILLUSION, SHEPHARD BOXES ILLUSION, GRID ILLUSION, CAFE WALL ILLUSION and FRAISER SPIRAL ILLUSION. They also feature the ZOETROPE (geometrical spinning strobe light- a new animation device invented by John Edmark in 2014), INFINITY TUNNEL, CLONE TABLE, IMPOSSIBLE TRIANGLE, BLIVET (a contradiction), MAGIC BOX, BULGING SQUARES, AMBIGUOUS CYLINDER, MASTER OF NUMBERS, HYPNOTIC VIBES, APPARITIONS, KALEIDOSCOPE TUBE, 3D PYRAMIDS and lots of TANGRAMS. Museum of Illusions also has a number of cube games with wooden pieces and puzzles, including BRAIN STORM, 10 SUM, T TIME, SWITCH ON and OTHELLO (Reversi)- a strategic game. To sum it all up, this place is fantabulousl! Though there isn't much that would entertain and 'sustain' small children, I'd stay it's definitely a place well worth visiting. It packs a fun, immersive, interactive experience into an adorable place that will be sure to make you laugh, grin, chuckle, or at the very least, put a big smile on your face! π I know it did for me! My only regret is that I came here solo! βΉ Imagine how great a experience this place would be if you visit with a friend or relative, or with a bunch of friends and family! I'd like to give a big shout out to MAY. She made the experience at Museum of Illusions all that more enjoyable. She's a delightful and lovely lady. Thanks MAY FOR MAKING MY DAY! π Also a big pat on the back to JEAN, ARLENE and SHINE. The employees here rock! π€π½ Y'all should be proud that you assembled a phenomenal team! ππ½ I really enjoyed this fascinating museum, and cannot wait to come back with one of my daughters, sisters or a friend. It ticks all the boxes of how and what an entertainment facility should be, so it just has to get a perfect rating from me. It sure beats spending a boring, lifeless day at the mall! The Museum of Illusions is most definitely a place well-worth visiting anytime one comes to Dubai and I highly, highly, highly recommend it!!! ππ½ππ½ππ½ππ½ππ½ππ½
