Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

One of the best museums of illusions in the world. We have been in more than 5 in different countries, but this museum is miles ahead. Original illusions, amazing staff, big 5 floors museum and more than a 100 illusions...what's not to love. We had so much fun with my family and we are definitely recommending it.

It was an amazing experience. Me and my husband came here from recommendation from our friends and we were not disappointed! The staff members were young, beautiful ladies and they were soo nice and helpful with the exhibits. Definitely we will come back next year and we will take the children with us.

I absolutely LOVED this - it's one of the best attractions I've ever visited, anywhere. It's just so much fun.
Being playful with the exhibits and taking photos is positively encouraged.
Multi-lingual explanations in Bulgarian, English and Romanian explain the scientific principles behind each illusion.
If you visit solo, as I did, the staff will take photos for you. It will keep your Instagram feed alive for months!
My husband and I visited separately, since we have dogs. (Tip - The Arte Cafe opposite is very dog friendly, and does excellent food while one of you waits!)
Highly recommended for big kids and probably little ones as well!

New and cool museum in Veliko Tarnovo. We had fun going thru the exhibition and we took a lot of photos - not only it was not forbidden -- it was mandatory to take pictures. The staff was super nice and the illusions were interesting.

This is the place where you can have the best fun and you can leave with a lot of information. The staff is very attentive, willing to explain certain things to you and take good pictures of you. It is probably the funniest place in Veliko Tirnovo.

The Museum of Illusions offers a unique and engaging experience that blends art, science, and fun in a way that is both educational and entertaining. Upon entering, you’re immediately drawn into a world where nothing is quite as it seems. The museum is filled with optical illusions and immersive rooms that play tricks on your perception and challenge your understanding of reality.

In a city filled with history it's quite refreshing to have a museum dedicated to the less serious but very interesting aspects of life. The museum has 5 floors, about 100 illusions and I'm sure everybody can find at leas one that's particularly impressive.

A lovely addition to VT and a great place for a family to spend a couple of hours. Food for the imagination and lots of great, fun photo opportunities to share with friends and family. The staff are super friendly and helpful. They took a lot of fantastic illusion photos of our family and always gave us time and attention. Great to see lots of visitors there making this a lively and fun place to be. Also great to see a marvelous old building restored and put to good use.
