Great fun

We made a great choice with this place! The staff on arrival were friendly, welcoming, and great fun. One of them even helped us to understand a couple of the illusions that were too complicated for our old brains!

Mind-boggling

The kids loved it, and so did the adults! It was great to be able to interact with the displays and some of them were just mind-boggling!

Fun place to escape the sunshine

It is a great, fun place to escape the sunshine for an hour. Kids and adults had a great time.
