Description

The Museum of 3D Illusions was founded as a place where visitors could let their imaginations run wild! We wanted to offer everyone the chance to interact with optical illusions and do more than imagine their dreams but to experience them. The Museum of 3D Illusions is a great place for friends and family, young and old, visitors to the Museum of Illusions can express themselves in our one of a kind interactive art exhibits that make for a photo opportunity unlike any other

You have the chance to become a professional surfer, survive a lava eruption through the hilly streets of the bay area, skydive from great heights, to hang from the side of one of this city’s colossal skyscrapers, and so much more. No matter the setting, you are in for an incredible experience sure to play with your perception and make you the star of every photo you take! Our goal is to create a unique Museum to capture the hearts, minds, and spirit of every city we open in.

This new San Francisco museum is one of a kind, reflecting the magic San Francisco offers. We are so happy that we can share our 40+ 3D illusions with the people of this great city, and know that our visitors will love taking photos and making memories using our interactive exhibits.

"Lots of Cool/Fun Photo Ops Here"

There are lots of cool backgrounds set up to take some fun pictures. They have a room that is slanted so the person on one side looks huge and the person on the other side looks tiny. There is a photographer on hand to help you set up and take the photos. We had a lot of fun here!

went in thinking that the place looked cool and would be lots of fun paid 90 us dollars $130 austrian for me and my mum, went inside and was extremely underwhelmed there was about 12 artworks on the wall but it was just a two minute walk through. there were no props nothing but we kept our spirits up excited to do some plate smashing. went to the counter and had to sign a waiver we spent 5 minutes filling this out and then asked how many plates we got to smash and disappointingly found that we could only smash 3 each. went to a tiny room where we only had 10 minutes and some markers to write on the plates that were all dried out anyway. overall this experiance was way to expensive for walking through one room of art a d throwing three plates at a wall. a complete rip of i would not advise anyone to go here. save your money

"Disappointing"
TripAdvisor user rating 1 out of 5

We bought the Silver VIP package ($150.00) but there wasn’t anyone to assist us with the set up of photos using my camera. I would say that it is less a museum than I would have thought. It is three or four rooms with hand painted scenes that you can stage with your own phone with one of their supplied tripods (gold package they also take the photo for you). There appeared to be approximately 10-12 scenes to work with. We were underwhelmed. It may work for your family, we just left and found other attractions.
