Our ‘World of Illusion’ is home to our ‘Anti-gravity Room’, ‘Ames Room’, ‘Hologram Gallery’ and ‘Eyelusions Exhibition’. It’s a fascinating, fun and social excursion into the wonderful world of optical illusion, which will leave you quite literally, not believing your eyes!
In the ‘Anti-Gravity Room’ balls roll uphill and water flows at an unnatural angle, while in the ‘Ames Room’ you will see and experience how your brain can be tricked into believing that people are growing and shrinking as they walk from one side to the other! In our hologram gallery you’ll find hologram portraits, horror-grams, and images that change, appear and disappear before your eyes, while in the ,Eyelusions Exhibition’ many of the best optical illusions around can be explored through interactive exhibits, artwork and sculptures. In it you’ll find the ‘Anti-gravity Drip’ and our 'Chair of Illusion', as well as our ‘Interactive Pond’. You can walk through a giant impossible triangle, shake your own hand, rub out your friend and watch your skin crawl. You’ll come across impossible objects that defy common sense, static images that move and straight lines that bend.
It’s an experience to remember ….Will you believe your eyes?
