About
Museum of Illusions Atlanta is located inside Atlantic Station, Atlanta's prominent mixed-use development in Midtown, offering the brand's internationally popular optical illusion and perspective-trick experience. With a 4.6-star rating from nearly 3,000 reviews, it's well-established as a reliable family activity in the Midtown Atlanta area.
The concept — self-guided rooms with optical illusions, forced-perspective installations, and mind-bending visual tricks — works as well in Atlanta as in other cities because the experiences are genuinely fun rather than just educational. The forced-perspective rooms where family members appear to float, grow to giant size, or shrink to minuscule create the photo moments that drive most of the visit. The infinity mirror tunnel and tilt room are perennial crowd-pleasers.
The Atlantic Station location is advantageous for families. Atlantic Station has extensive dining, shopping, and other family entertainment options, making Museum of Illusions a natural component of a larger Atlantic Station outing rather than a standalone destination. The 1-1.5 hour visit length fits perfectly as one activity in a multi-part day.
For MARTA users: the Arts Center station is nearby, and Atlantic Station is accessible without a car from multiple parts of the city. Parking garages are available within Atlantic Station for those driving.

Why Kids Love It
Museum of Illusions Atlanta delivers the same globally popular optical illusion and forced-perspective photo experience in a Midtown Atlanta location that makes it easy to combine with other Atlantic Station activities. The room-by-room illusion installations produce reliable excitement from school-age kids who get increasingly competitive about engineering the best photos. The tilt room, infinity mirror tunnel, and perspective rooms are the highlights that generate the most shared photos and laughs.
