Great place to go on a very wet day in Brussels. Conveniently situated in the centre and wasn't too busy, even on a Saturday. Would be a great place to take children to, but we enjoyed it as adults. Staff were friendly and were available to take photos on some of the illusions. Toilets and lockers available but no cafe.

It is too expensive for such short visit. There are several interesting items to enjoy, but most are a repetition of what you see very often on internet.

This space is full of delightful illusions. Every illusion brought out the child in me. Take a keen note, every corner has something to offer. I had booked the tickets online so there was no waiting line. There is a locker space that's free where you can drop off your bag. Kudos to the friendly and supportive staff who readily explained how some illusions worked and helped with taking photos.
