How to Reach?
Don’t Miss:
1. Kaleidoscope: Being one of the oldest and the most fun illusions, the Illuseum Berlin tickets give you access to this interesting illusion. Literally meaning “seeing beautiful shapes”, the Kaleidoscope impressively portrays the process of using mirrors and angles in a way that it decevies our senses.
2. Vortex Tunnel: For those who are seeking thrill and adventure, you can step into the Vortex Tunnel, another exciting illusion at the Illuseum Berlin. Since the Vortex keeps spinning, even though you will be moving on solid ground, it will be difficult to maintain your balance, making it a challenge for you to cross the tunnel.
3. Games: Filled with various wooden gripping games and several unique interactive activities, this zone of the Illuseum is equally attractive and fun for age-groups, especially children. Do try the mechanical puzzle Tower of Hanoi if you wish to take up some serious challenges in the Games zone.
4. Interactive Rooms: Another significant part of the illusions at the Illuseum, the interactive room, known as the Ames Room uses distorted walls and textures to create an interesting and impactful effect. The most striking aspect of the interactive room from the viewer’s point of view is the transformation of something small into a massive size via the monocular viewing technique.
5. Static Illusions: The last category of exhibits at the Illuseum, the Static illusion is by far the most effective illusion there. The design and the structure of each piece crafted for a specific illusion is carefully curated, and with the help of gadgets like Shephard tables, you can also learn geometry, physics and maths.
The Illuseum Berlin is open every day, and the best time to visit the Illuseum is during the evening, at around 6pm. Since the crowd is comparatively lesser, the entire museum tour can be done in a hassle-free manner.
