About Museum of Illusions

Museum of Illusions in Santa Monica features interactive installations where visitors hang out with their clones at the Cloning Table, serve their head on a platter, and sit in the Beuchet Chair to appear to shrink or grow through perspective tricks. The museum also showcases illusion rooms, mind-bending installations, holograms, and optical illusions across images designed to teach how perception differs from reality. A typical visit lasts 45 to 60 minutes, though guests can explore at their own pace. The experience suits families, individuals, and groups seeking hands-on visual puzzles and photo opportunities. The museum is located at 1232 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica. Family packages offering 20 percent off two child tickets cost $118, down from regular pricing, according to moisantamonica.com. Tickets are sold online through the venue's website.
