Anti-gravity Room

Ames Room

One of the best illusions to leverage the science of perspective is the Ames Room, where you will be both a dwarf and a giant.

Once you move to the next corner, you will immediately grow in size and seem a lot taller. This is one of the most popular illusions in the museum, and people click a lot of pictures here. You should, too.

Photo Illusions

Speaking of pictures, the Photo Illusions section is where your phone’s memory card is in danger of getting full. You will be clicking many pictures as the illusions here will make you float in the air, create your identical twins, stand next to oversized objects, hang upside down like a bat or walk on the walls like a Spiderman, and even get trapped inside a kaleidoscope. There are so many photo illusions here that you will not get tired of taking pictures. It is one of the best places to visit in Dubai with family and friends.

Hologram Exhibit

Experience the best of 3D technology and art. Watch your favorite artwork and famous personalities come alive with 3D holograms that hover in the air. Many holographic images are still but will look like they are moving as you change your point of view. There are some interactive holograms as well that come out of their seemingly fixed locations. It is quite mind-bending. Though magicians don’t reveal their tricks, the hologram section is more than happy to show you the science and art behind all illusions.

Puzzles Exhibit

Solve the puzzles here to increase your brain power and understanding of illusions. The puzzles here are for all ages, and you can even collaborate with your companions to increase brain power and solve the puzzles.

You are guaranteed to feel improved patience levels, teamwork abilities, and cognitive skills. The best part is that you can actually buy a few puzzles and brainteasers to take home in the souvenir section.

Head on the Platter Exhibit

This is one of the most unique experiences in Dubai. If the name already doesn't make it clear, this illusion lets you see your own head on a platter as if it has been cut and served. Mirrors are strategically placed in order for your head to appear on the platter, and the surrounding decor of the place further adds to the illusion. Though slightly scary, most kids seem to enjoy this and even want their parents to take many pictures. Everybody is guaranteed to get a good laugh out of this.

Optical Illusion Exhibit

Trick your brain in the optical illusion section. Here, many works of art will make you question reality. For example, anamorphic art is art that seems to be something like a shape from a certain distance, but once you come up close, it turns into different images. Some exhibits here depict objects that seem distorted in such a way that they don't make sense and defy physics. This is done through visual trickery. There are also many perspective exhibits that transform as you move to the other side. It's all amazing. This section alone is one of the best places to visit in Dubai with family.
