- Oz E1 contributionIllusion cityAmazing little exhibition of illusions presented by a guide. Kids loved it too. Definitely worth a trip. Takes about 40min to go through depending on how much time you spend at each illusion.Visited October 2023Travelled with familyWritten 14 October 2023
- Buck RogersGrantham, United Kingdom247 contributionsHumorous family amusement with some learning momentsA quiet day wandering around Blue Water and came across Illusion City. Went in to see the displays. Was an interesting half an hour. We were escorted by a guide around a set of optical illusions. This was very helpful as she showed how to see some of the more complicated ones which you may not see on your own. There are lots of opportunities to take photos and amuse family. Was good value for money and a good way to spend half an hour.Hi David, we hope you’re well. I’m so sorry that illusion city didn’t live up to expectations. We have really been striving for perfection since we opened just over a month ago, and I’m sorry we just seemed to have missed something to receive that 5* review. I was hoping, if you had a spare moment, that you could let us know if there was something you didn’t enjoy, or if you thought there is something we could do better next time? Then going forward we can work on that hopefully for your next visit to make sure you fully enjoy the experience we have to offer. We would love to hear back from you here, and you can also contact us at info@illusioncity.ae . Have a great day and hope to speak soon.

Visited with my family. Children aged 11,10 and 9 months. They all enjoyed it and Maria was super welcoming and friendly showing us around and interacting amazingly with our 9 month boy.
The museum is near the Madame Tussaud’s and located in the mall. Parked at B2 underground and went up escalator to get to mall. All air conditioned and the mall had great facilities as well.
The museum validated my parking as well so it was free to park for 3 hours

We had such a great time in the illusion City with lots of interesting facts and awesome experiences. Maria, who works there, was so nice to show us around und told us about the right perspectives, took amazing pics and videos, was so friendly. Everyone there. It is really worth a visit. We were fascinated and kids loved it! And by the way... You get 3 hours free parking, if you visit the museum. It was a great joy! Thank you so much.

We visited Illusion City in September 2024 as family and have been excited. The illusions were impressing and our Guide Francis was very helpful.
He took time to explain all illusions and their characteristics/ features and also took many awesome pictures and videos of us.
We will associate great memories with Illusion City

There are many exciting illusions to discover in this museum. You are accompanied and this person also takes fantastic photos with the different optical illusions. Our guide Benj took fantastic pictures and showed us all the poses so that the pictures are also perfect. She explained everything to us and guided us through the different illusions.
Definitely worth a visit!

We have visited the other museum and this new museum, though they have the same concept I can totally say that our experience here was greater than the other museum. The staff did not leave us behind. Thank you to Benj for explaining us all the illusions and for taking perfect photos of our family for a great memory. I recommend this place for a family, group of friends and even for couples

Recently visited the illusion city at Bluewater island and it was a superb experience. We were in a state of awe and wonder at every immersive set up displayed at the museum. The set ups are captivating and made with cutting edge technology and infra. Loved the details and illusive measures at the display. And we clicked lot of pictures that was fun. The guide explains you very well. Loved the experience!
