    My partner and I have been to a couple of these sorts of places in different countries. This one didn’t disappoint 🥰 It’s best to go if you want to get some cute and funny pics and selfies. Great for kids and grownup kids alike 🤣

    Great experience although short for the price, but worth it. I didn’t find it overly stimulating like the one in London. Great examples of illusions, well explained in Portuguese, English, French and Spanish. Fun, easy to navigate. Great staff and not too crowded.
