MUSEUM OF ILLUSIONS

Heads up Instagrammers! Take note Tiktokers!

I know a super cool place where you can arrange to be photographed falling off a balcony,Two women giving the illusion of falling off a balcony at the Museum of Illusions St. Louis

Mind-boggling? Unbelievable? Total fun? Yes. Yes. Yes.

You can catch the magic at the Museum of Illusions, a chain of privately held museums located in about 50 locations in 25 countries on four continents.

We visited the funhouse in St. Louis, where over 60 exhibits educate and entertain (“edutainment” in museum speak).

Signage explains each illusion.Signage explains the background of the illusion of a baseball player's eyes following those who walk by. Docents (“illusion experts”) suggest positions for the best shots and will even snap your photo if your companion is busy elsewhere or with you.An illusion expert snapping a photo of a family fake falling off a balcony at the Museum of Illusions St. Louis.

And a gift shop at the exit helps you take some mojo home.

Fun for all—kids and adults alike.
