Museum of Illusions Sydney - Review

We had a first look at the Museum of Illusions in the Sydney CBD this Saturday, ahead of its public opening on Boxing Day.

This new permanent museum invites curious minds of all ages to immerse themselves in a world of optical illusions, multi-sensory experiences and interactive installations.

With over 80 hands-on exhibits, we loved testing each illusion and seeing perception turned upside down. It’s a great option for visits with family and friends, school and educational excursions, as well as parties and private events.

The Museum of Illusions is conveniently located at 413 George Street, Sydney CBD next to Priceline and opens daily from Boxing Day. Grand opening off-peak pricing will be available until January 2. There is also a great range of merch and gift items available to purchase onsite.

Tips:

  • Address: 413 George Street, Sydney CBD (next to Priceline)

  • Timings: Allow 45-60 minutes per visit.

  • Toilets are available onsite on the lower level next to the escalator.
