    Some Real WOW Illusions
    I love this sort of attraction & have been to similar before in other countries, but this one had something I've never seen before which blew me away. They keep it until almost the end so you don't peak too early, but you feel like you are rolling around & can't stand up straight with audio designed to confuse you even more! I loved it, but it made my girlfriend feel seasick. Apart from this, there was a big illusion I was looking forward to seeing that was unfortunately closed for maintenence which is a mirror room that has mirrors everywhere with moving things on the walls which makes for great photos. Plenty of incredible holograms which you have to get close & personal with from all angles to see what they all mean....worth the effort! Plenty of facts about the illusions on offer & even a bed of "nails" that you can levitate on, that I found a bit uncomfortable & sharp! Don't miss this if you are a big kid.
    Elliot hi! Thank you so much for your exstensive review! We are happy to hear you and your girlfriend enjoyed your visit. We hope your girlfriend felt better soon after the tunnel roll, it is a challange for some people. Some really enjoy it and go in many times, for others it's a bigger challange. Experience of our exhibits is definitely a very individual and unique thing - also with the bed of nails, it usually is quite relaxing for people, but again - the experience is very individual. We hope you at least got a great photo of you levitating! And we are sorry that the infinity room was being renovated right at the time you came. BUT. This is definitely the reason why you must come again next time, and we will be very happy to see you again!

    Interactive museum for the whole family
    Small, beautifully designed and interactive museum. Definitely worth a visit! You can experience many interesting and funny moments alone, with friends or family. The tour will take around 1.5 hours.

As you said, we try to bring joy to families with creating wonderful and unforgetful moments – with experiencing something different, than the usual day to day routine.

    Very nice!
    We stood in line for 15 minutes, because she expected a group of 30 people who had bought a skipp the line tickets. We got water and a sweet and discount on entering for t long wait! What a good deal! Inside it was really nice, definitely recommended! I was with my 12-year-old son. You got through fairly quickly, I think we went in for an hour/ 1,5
    Extraordinary791847 hello! Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are glad that the wait wasn't too long and that it was pleasant because of the candy. And it's great that you got the discount and it was an even better experience! You are very welcome to come back any time, we will be happy to have you in our company again. Tjaša

The staff, especially the manager Jaka, was great! So friendly and nice, willing to explain everything we wanted to know. The exhibits of illusions were very interesting and it was fun allround, especially for our 10-year-old boy :) At the end of excursion you can play tricky mind games. The whole tour take app. 1,5 - 2 hours. So take time and enjoy yourself while staying in Ljubljana ;)

This is a must do in Ljubljana especially if you're travelling with kids. We spent a couple of hours inside and we loved it. Interesting place right in the city centre. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Thank you for this amazing experience !

It’s a small museum so only takes about 30-40min. There’s a few fun things to do but nothing to special. Would recommend to do it in the evening after you’ve spent your time sightseeing.

Nice museum, not particularly extensive. It's three stories, little ones to walk up and down the same stairs. Our son really liked the illusion of the table with mirrors (whose body under the table seems to disappear) and the bed with spatial leavening (through many "needles" that lift you from the wooden top). Passing through Ljubjana the visit is very convenient, because the museum is right in the center 2 steps from the main underground parking lot of the city, so stop almost "obligatory". You will visit it all in less than an hour. You may take a little longer if you start playing all the various skill games on the ground floor (behind the hall where they sell the entrance tickets).

343fabiot hello! Thank you for posting your review! It's amazing how in detail you described your experience and in general the key information which people are searching for looking through our Tripadvisor site. It's wonderful that your son enjoyed the bed of nails and "head on plate" room. I hope you got some amazing photos! Also, it's great that you highlighted the parking option nearby, this is very important - that we have parking right next to our museum. So you are very welcome to return to our museum the next time you visit Ljubljana! Bring some new friends and family :)! Tjaša

I thought it would be a fun experience considering how highly rated it is. However, I think most people will already have seen a lot of what is on display. They have a game room, which could be fun if you are visiting with kids. All in all, an ok visit, but I was disappointed and definitely think it is overrated.

This place was interesting. Was quite small, however the illusions they did have were pretty good. They have a room of wooden puzzles. My husband managed most of them, however the one he couldn’t do he ended up purchasing from their shop! Good place to visit on a rainy day. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Maybe we will come back one day when my husband finally manages that wooden cube!!!

First time I went in Croatia. We ended up with an extra day in Ljubljana due to a cancelled flight so we decided to check it out. Fun for all ages. Would recommend if you have a lot of time in Ljubljana but otherwise, it's missable.

I and a group of friends visited the House of Illusions late on a Friday after eating at the Open food market. Having our City Tourists cards, entrance is included and our cards were scanned at the desk. The House encompasses a couple of floors, and includes a number of different illusions including the upside down room and the vortex tunnel (very freaky - dont enter if you have vertigo).

We spent a good hour or so looking and interacting with the different displays and had a great time and quite a few laughs and one of our group even ended up playing a (Board) game of Vortex with the young lady on the desk - he lost :-)

A Very fun exhibit to visit with friends.

We'd bought the Ljubljana Card and were pleased this attraction was included as entrance of €11 was a little much as it's only 2 floors and a puzzle room. Many of the pictures were very well known illusions but the interactive elements really made our visit and were cleverly organised with smartphone camera stands to record and share our fun!

My girlfriend and I went to this museum Sunday evening at 8pm. The place was empty, which is what we were hoping for. We were able to play for almost 2 hours in the various rooms, taking interesting/unique photos of each other and the illusions all over the place. We absolutely loved it and highly suggest going in the evening (it’s open til 10pm) when there are no families/kids.
