Tina Garrison
This isn't your normal stuffy Museum!! After hours of exploring ancient ruins in +35, we were delighted to laugh and be silly at this place! The staff happily helped us read the directions on each exhibit and took our pictures to become part of the illusions ourselves and capture our memories. The whole time we kept thinking, "our kids would have loved this place!" We just bought them the coolest ...
Elias Issawi
This is a very nice museum, and we—along with the kids—enjoyed it a lot. It features various illusions, some of which include stickers and instructions on how to take the perfect photo. Children will particularly love this place, and the staff upstairs were very friendly and helpful. Recommended!
Sakis Petropoulos
An excellent experience, very unique and wonderful, great choice for a Sunday morning! All employees were very kind and willing to inform you and guide you in order to have a unique experience. A great idea, and the gifts from the store worth checking them out too, because they are indeed very unique!
Sam Hunt
My daughter (6) loved this! Loads of interactive activities and exhibits that leave you feeling a bit wobbly by the end. Really fun and th highlight of the day. There's a great pub over the road for afterwards too with a good view of the acropolis.
