Museum of Illusions at Mall of America

Museum of Illusions at Mall of America is a fun attraction in Bloomington, Minnesota. It’s fun for both kids and adults and a unique experience you won’t soon forget – especially since you’ll want to take tons of photos!

Prepare to enter the fascinating world of illusions at the Museum of Illusions Mall of America. The many fun and interactive exhibits provide a visual, sensory, and educational experience for all.

My husband and I visited with our teenage nephew and we all had a blast seeing and experiencing all types of illusions.

We loved that nearly everything was interactive. From hanging off a building to walking through what looked like endless mirrors there are so many cool things to see and do.

You can stroll through the museum and discover a brilliant collection of perspective-changing rooms, enthralling installations, and spellbinding images. Nothing is ever quite as it seems!

Some of the experiences were just plain COOL like walking through the vortex tunnel or some of the rooms that create illusions with light.

A lot of the mirror illusions had us cracking up. We hadn’t expected we would be laughing so much at a “museum”.

And the whole museum is set up to let you capture some awesome photos. Since entry to the museum is timed, it’s never too crowded to be able to snap some fun photos.

They even have marked photo points instructing you where to stand in order to capture the optimal result of the illusion.

Staff members throughout the building may also be available to help you snap some photos.
