Reviews of Musée de l'illusion LYON (Lyon)
Yann von Sengbusch
Decent experience for the young ones but it's not worth the price. 19 Euros per ticket for something that lasts 30 minutes from start to finish with just basic illusions is not worth it
patrice gordon
Awesome place 🙂. Really enjoyed my visit
Maria K
We enjoyed our time at the museum as a family of three. It's a fun way to spend about an hour of your time. Would definitely recommend for older kids and adults -- better in pairs or groups because some of these require multiple people. It was a fun way to escape the heat wave outside.
Lucy Danaher
Visited because it was rainy the day we went to Lyon and needed an inside activity. Spent less than an hour here. But the chocolate making was a hit with my son
Rinor Zejna
Very crowded. Maybe that made our visit not so satisfying and worth the price. Maybe visit on weekdays or early on the day.
