HOW do they DO that?
Denver’s Museum of Illusions, located on the 16th Street Mall, is a MUST SEE. This cutting-edge experience takes visitors on a journey through optical wizardry, astonishing holograms and brainiac-approved exhibits in its over 6,200 square-foot space. Guests of all ages are welcome to step into a world where math, science and art collide in interactive exhibits that will have everyone questioning reality itself.
Denver’s location offers some awesome opportunities for both locals and tourists. We have visited twice and we still can't get enough. Check out our thoughts:
More than 60 visual and educational exhibits designed to tease the senses and trick the mind fill the space.
Plan on spending at least an hour to check out all of the exhibits. There are a lot and you'll want to spend some time at each one to get to the bottom of the illusions.
Denver-specific exhibits are onsite, allowing visitors to appear upside down on an RTD train, scale a historic Denver façade, and meet a Rocky Mountain skier who just cannot keep her eyes off museum guests.
The museum is chock full of photo ops that you will want to take advantage of. (We're thinking it might even make a fun Christmas card!)
Illusion experts are positioned throughout the museum to explain the science behind the illusions and assist with photography.
The Illusion experts are AMAZING. Not only can they answer your questions, they know the perfect spot for those photo ops! Utilize their knowledge.
The Museum as a whole can also serve as a unique event venue.
I can't think of a better spot to hold your next event. You'll knock your guests' socks off, I promise.
There's an enhanced gift shop onsite where visitors can purchase games and merchandise.
Reasonably priced and full of fun items. My teens couldn't get enough, and neither could the adults.
The museum's 16th Street Mall location means that you can easily turn your visit into an adventure!
Grab a bite to eat or do some exploring before or after your mind is blown at the Museum of Illusions.
Parking is easy.
Street parking is available, and there's a parking garage right next door.
The Museum of Illusions is the perfect family outing.
The exhibits will fascinate any age group, so you can't go wrong bringing your kiddos. Tweens and teens will love it, in particular. Don't want to bring the kids? Plan your next Date Night or Ladies' Night.
