Do you maybe know what illusions are?

Illusions are a trick. They trick our brain and our senses into believing what we are seeing is the truth. Our brain gets tricked by illusions, usually by receiving too much detailed and different information at once so it shows us a different truth from the one that really appears on paper. Each brain works differently (to a degree) so every person perceives Illusions differently. Do you want to know how you will experience our illusions?

Small but cute - The "house" of illusions is small but nice: On two floors, well organized and has various rooms that leave you speechless. Fun to do both alone and with others. With the Ljubljana card it's free; While the ticket is around 13 euros per person.

Very curious and a good memory - When I arrived and gave the TripAdvisor ticket, the girl was very surprised, but I was able to pass. It is better to go accompanied, but even alone it is enjoyable. There are classic illusions that we have all seen and much more experimental and curious things. Highly recommended.

Cute but expensive - We stayed in the house of illusions in the center of Ljubljana, entrance expensive for what it offers, very crowded and hot in fact there is a very small room where you can leave your jackets. For what it offers I don't know if I would go back

disappointment - many panels to read, some paintings with optical illusions, some mirrors that distort the image and little more. 26 euros for two certainly not well spent. Ah...I forgot, if you want a funny souvenir photo you have to shell out the "modest" sum of an additional 10 euros...

Too expensive for what it offers - We stayed at the house of illusions given the many "positive" reviews here in TripAdvisor. The museum is nice, perhaps for the little ones, the illusions are very "basic" (already seen), some rooms are nice even if they have been neglected in maintenance. Definitely a good way to let your children have fun, leaving them free to wander around the structure without having the burden of keeping them around. Not recommended for older couples without children, boys/girls, etc... Excessive cost for adults (26 euros for two).
