- KevinDumbarton, United Kingdom133 contributionsFun MuseumWe had an interesting afternoon in here. The museum has lots of interesting facts and optical illusions. Lots of great photo opportunities. It was good value for money. Was quite busy on the afternoon we visited. This could be because it was freezing cold and torrential rain outside. Would recommend a visit here.Hello, thank you for your feedback and recommendation! We are glad that you had interesting time in our museum! We hope you took really amazing photos!

- Patrycja I3 contributionsA wonderful time at the museum with Mr. FilipI am an orphanage educator. Thanks to the kindness of the museum, we had the opportunity to participate in this extraordinary experience, which the children were delighted with. We would like to thank Mr. Filip for his commitment, smile, and vast knowledge that was passed on to the children in a pedagogical way that reached their minds. The children were keenly interested and their attention was fully devoted to Mr. Filip's words. We are wholeheartedly grateful and touched to have met such a wonderful person! Thank youSzanowna Pani, serdecznie dziękujemy za wizytę i tak wspaniałą recenzję, a szczególnie nam miło czytać takie słowa o jednym z naszych najlepszych przewodników!

- Karolina M1 contributionA great option to experience physics in practiceThe museum is fantastic! My almost four-year-old had a lot of fun and checked out how all the attractions worked. Guides approached us every now and then, offering help and discussing each attraction. I believe that the museum will make every young person interested in physics :)Serdecznie dziękujemy za wizytę i tak wspaniałą recenzję, zwłaszcza za docenienie pracy naszych fantastycznych przewodników!

- Илья М1 contributionGood vodguk, good museum and good supratsounitsa)I don’t know the Polish and angelic language as well as I wished, but for the supracounika’s museum, the illusion of the geta didn’t interfere) Asabista for me, the excursion was led by the supracounica-Ukrainian Yulia. Several food fumes were killed, and the dachshunds suffered. It’s a pity that I’m only traveling from Krakow from Warsaw for a couple of days (it would be so crazy to see that jumping dog on the track 😉). I’ll be glad to visit Geta’s Yashche Museum))Hello, thank you for the highest rating, for recommending our museum, and for appreciating the work of one of our best guides!

- WorldTraveler0511Mainz, Germany16 contributionsBeautiful experience & definitely a mustThe museum is definitely a top attraction in Krakow. It is located right next to the old town not far from the market square and is easy to reach. At the entrance we were told something about the idea and the museum by the staff and then we practically “deciphered” the first illusion together. In each room there was an employee who explained the illusions to us a bit more. The staff were incredibly accommodating and the explanations were always very simple and understandable. At the entrance there is a large shop with laser T-shirts and a few attractions in small. For a trip to Krakow, the museum is definitely a must.Hello, thank you for your visit, this amazing review, and your appreciation of our brilliant guides! We are delighted to hear such wonderful words! We hope that the pleasant memories will stay with you for a long time and if you will be in Krakow in the future, come and see us again :) Krakil TeamWritten July 24, 2024This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited March 2024Traveled with friendsWritten July 23, 2024

Exceptional displays and often informative of the science behind different optical illusions. Very apt if you’re in Kraków and want an enjoyable trip, however this only last around 30 minutes and some parts will have a build up of people as there didn’t seem to be any set capacity for the museum, which has its pros and cons. This is still an extremely fun attraction and is worth the visit.

Was an enjoyable experience, staff were super friendly and interactive which definitely made the experience better as they gave us some tricks and tips for the illusions. The bottom floor is abit boring maybe a couple of good things but the top floor was where all the fun was and a great opportunity to take funny photos. Was good value for money, you get what you pay for which was not very expensive at all in £’s so would recommend to those who want something fun to do for an hour

We had very good trip into illusions! Due to guide Yuliya our visit to museum became a real adventure! Yuliya told great stories about each room, our kids (4 and 9 y.old) had funny time! Due to Yuliya we spend in the museum more than 1 hour, which is for kids not usual. Thank you for this great guided tour!

The museum of illusions was another recommendation we found on social media. I can’t complain about the price - entry worked out at about £6 each. But if you are travelling from the UK and are used to attractions such as the Ripleys believe it or not museum, you will find this very disappointing. There is not a lot to look at or do, realistically you could be in and out of here in 30 minutes. I don’t think that this would really be a suitable place for children, I think they would be bored very easily. However, there were some redeeming factors. For example, one of the guides, Dante, was very knowledgable and enthusiastic, keen to share his knowledge with us and made the more “boring” elements of the museum slightly more fun. There are some photo opportunities and interactive activities but there are much better alternatives in Krakow, such as the Be Happy museum, if this is the kind of thing you’re looking for. The place felt quite tired, the displays and decor and even the gift shop. If you’ve got time left on your trip, and you’re looking for something to do, this might be a good idea. But I wouldn’t go out of your way to make this part of your plans.

Hello,
thank you for your visit and for taking the time to write this 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 didn't quite meet your expectations, nevertheless, we are glad that you have appreciated one of our best guides, Dante, and we hope that you found at least part of our exhibition interesting. We are a slightly different museum to the Be Happy Museum in that only part of our exhibition is a selfie space, while the rest is an exhibition of interactive exhibits based on a range of arts and sciences, such as psychology, biology, or physics, for example. We are surprised that your visit lasted only 30 minutes because it usually takes at least an hour to see all the exhibits. Our museum is designed for people of all ages so that everyone can find something for themselves and we try to make sure that each of our visitors, including children, leave our museum satisfied.

Really enjoyed the visit. Lots of tactile attractions. We had 4 young kids ages between 8 and 4 woth us and they loved the experience which got their young brains thinking. Emilia who worked there was also very helpful and she took a few brilliant photos for our group. Thanks so much.

Went there with my wife and 8 year old son - what an amazing experience 😁 After walking around the city for a few hours this is exactly what we needed to have some relaxing fun filled with laughter and fooling around. But apart from just the fun stuff, for those that like it, there is some interesting historical context associated with many of the exhibits - but don't worry, if that is not your cup of tea just skip the printed texts next to the exhibits and have fun. Museum is also full of helpful staff that can further explain some exhibits and how to interact with them. For those of you that like posting on social media, rest assured you will leave with plenty of photos to play with and post. Overall fully recommend visiting (price of admission also very acceptable and appropriate).

It was my second time going to a museum of illusions and it's way better than in my home country. Even though I've already seen similar stuff in my home country's museum (I'm aware that you cannot have completely unique exhibitions, after all it's a museum of illusions), some of these blew my mind! Especially the 'upside down' room where we had a blast taking photos and the 'light room' was also a perfect spot for taking a few instagram worthy shots. In fact, the whole museum is a perfect spot to take some photos, so if you're interested in that, I highly suggest you visit this museum. There's also one cool thing - a safe that nobody can open and nobody knows what's inside! There's a combination of numbers, but nobody could figure it out, so I also suggest trying it. Overall, this museum shouldn't be skipped if you're visiting Kraków because you'll have the time of your life. The museum's shop also has some cool stuff so check that out, too!

The most friendly people in Krakow - everyone speaks great English and are eager to both help, explain and repeat with a smile. The exhibition itself is really amazing. Some of the illusions require a bit of patience for smaller kids (we travelled with a 6 year old) to understand the context. Almost all of these illusions are mind blowing in their own way. Free lockers for your bags and coats and clean toilets. Once you have visited the entire exhibition, then roam around freely and try your favorites again. You can spend days there (if they allow you to stay overnight).

This 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 😊

Well, in the end we already know most things. Not very tall. Indeed some illusions are original but for the rest nothing exceptional. The price is far too exaggerated for the quality of the exhibition. 55zl is way too expensive. You can have a good time when it rains but there are plenty of other places in Krakow to have much better fun.
