About
The Museum of Illusions on Denver's iconic 16th Street Mall is a wonderland of optical trickery that will leave kids (and adults) completely baffled and giggling. Interactive exhibits include hologram rooms, anti-gravity installations, and larger-than-life perspective illusions that make for incredible family photos. Kids 8 and up tend to get the most out of it, but curious 6- and 7-year-olds will love the visual surprises too.
