Museum of Illusions Boston
About
Museum of Illusions Boston is an interactive attraction at Marketplace Center, just east of Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market, with more than 60 exhibits that play with perception. Visitors encounter optical illusions, perspective-changing rooms, mind-bending installations and brain-teasing puzzles, and many exhibits double as settings for memorable photos. The museum appeals to families, groups of friends and anyone curious about how illusions can trick the eye.
Visitors can explore the installations at their own pace, and recent reviews describe a compact space packed with things to see, with puzzles on hand for anyone who needs a break from the illusions. Reviewers include families with teenagers and people who recommend it for kids who enjoy puzzles, and one praised the staff. The museum describes itself as an edutainment concept, mixing hands-on learning with fun for visitors of all ages.
