My kids and I had the opportunity to visit the Museum of Illusions over the long weekend and it was an exciting experience! Close to St. Lawrence Market but tucked away behind an unassuming street front, it’s an intimate space that packs in so many different types of illusions and gathering areas.<\/p>\n

It doesn’t take a long time to see everything, which is handy for people (especially kids) with short attention spans, but you can also linger and hang out if you like. Just be sure to be considerate of the other patrons and not hog the more popular areas, like the infinity room. This became my son’s favourite room as it is definitely mesmerizing!<\/p>\n

Without giving away too many secrets, obviously the use of mirrors helps to make the space feel much larger. For instance, in the Anti-Gravity Room, a mirror and symmetrical wall creates the look of a long hallway.<\/p>\n

Forced perspective is another popular illusion that can create an amusingly unexpected result. These techniques are still used in filmmaking today, such as the Lord of the Rings series where a short hobbit sits beside a tall wizard.<\/p>\n

The Chair Illusion (cover photo) makes it look like a small person is sitting in a chair, and the Ames Room is where two people in the same room are different sizes. It’s especially fun to have the larger real-life person become the smaller one!<\/p>\n

Some of the areas are brain-teasers such as holograms, infinity tunnels, stereograms (picture within a picture) and optical illusions, but others are interactive sets.<\/p>\n

My daughter’s favourite experience was the Vortex Tunnel, one of the best known spaces in the museum. It features a metal walkway that looks and feels as if it’s suspended in space while lights spin around you. She went through it over and over but those who are susceptible to motion sickness or dizziness (like myself) should be careful. I decided to just take pictures of the adventurous kids instead.<\/p>\n

For Mom the photographer, I always like a nice photo opportunity with a twist. The simple yet effective kaleidoscopes and lighting effects make for a picture worthy of a social media post and even a framed portrait.<\/p>\n
