    I visited this place for the first time in February, and I had a great time here! Although the wait time was around 15 minutes or so despite having a scheduled ticket. It is a relatively small place and takes less than an hour to completely go through everything. I was by myself, so the staff there helped me with taking the photos at the different illusions. The staff were incredibly helpful! The illusions they had here were similar to the ones in New York but I guess that is expected. I still enjoyed exploring the museum - it was worth the visit!
