"It was so amazing! All the different things that we were able to do together. I'm 41 and my niece is 26 and we had a great time in there. I would say it's definitely worth doing whether you're a child, a teen or an adult."

"We were there in the afternoon on Black Friday. We did not purchase tickets ahead of time but we were able to quickly buy tickets at the location for 4 people. We only had to wait about 15 minutes for our group and we spent quite a bit of time with all the illusions and rooms. It was very interactive and interesting. I also love that there are some photo stations that you can scan with a QR code and at the end of your visit they email your pictures to you. Great for the four of us to be in the picture and having to ask strangers to take it for us. It was not as crowded as I thought it was going to be during our time there. We had a couple of illusions rooms to ourselves to take our pictures and no one was really waiting. After our visit, I was not able to see the pictures on my email. I was able to get in contact with someone quickly through an email and recovered them. I would advise you before you leave the place to check your email and see if your images have been emailed to you and if not to speak to someone there to get them emailed to you before leaving. Also some of the illusions is better captured on video 😁
Thank you again for a wonderful visit! We will be coming back with more family members!"

"This was an amazing experience. There was 6 of us visiting. Every room had us in awe. We all had a different tea, they also had decaf and chocolate milk for the non tea drinkers. Would definitely come back with family."
