BOOK ACTIVITY

Museum of Illusions, Dubai

Al Seef Street, Dubai, Dubai

Description

The Museum of Illusions consists of a large collection of entertaining optical illusions (about 80 of them) that are both educational and interactive. Most of them are designed so that visitors can take pictures of those trick-eye perspectives and designs.

Access & Transport

The building is in Al Seef, in central Dubai. The closest metro stations are Burjuman (interchange of red and green lines) and Sharaf DG (green line), a short 5-10' walk away. There is also a ferry pier.

Instructions & Recommendations

Best with the family or in a group rather than alone We would suggest coupling this attraction with a stroll along the Creek and a visit of the Al Seef neighbourhood.

Meta review

This activity is very popular with reviewers, in particular families, who enjoy the fun illusions and the air-conditioning. The main complaints are that it is too expensive given the quantity of exhibits and that they have experienced better similar activities in other cities

Environmental & Social

Except for the air-conditioning running, this activity is quite neutral from both an environmental and social perspective

Conclusion

The Museum makes for an entertaining group of family indoor option in a location that is relatively central. Probably not something you would travel purposely for, but if you are in the neighbourhood this is a good option to consider

Key positive

Family friendly

Can be combined with other touristic sights and activities in the same district

Key negative

Clearly overpriced considering the quantity and quality of the museum's content

Can induce dizziness for some

Suitability

Suitable for all ages but older visitors may not get as much fun out of it. Likewise for people with reduced mobility who may not be able to take the poses required for the illusions to work.
