Being Located at the Heart of Kuala Lumpur is its plus point. It is located just opposite to Pavilion Mall at Bukit Bintang (Hill Star) road of Kuala Lumpur. After asking 2-3 security personnel, we reached at the first floor of a building (Lot-8) where it is located. Ticket was 50 RM , that roughly comes to be ₹1075/- per person. We entered the museum and it ended before it started. Only one person was there to take your pictures, and she was also quite a bit reluctant in doing that. We had to ask time and again about the activities there ( which were not more than a single digit) and request her to take our picture so that some effect is visible. But, in spite of taking pictures, she was more interested to attend the new customers, to tell them to go to the first floor, where no body was there to guide. There was a single revolving tunnel on the first floor in the name of illusion and a glass cube, whose glass was so much scratched that you were not se our reflection in that, as shown in a nearby display picture.(picture was good) Whole of the museum was being run by two girls. One at reception and the other behind in a single room of say 20 x 20 feet. The photos will show the total activities and the competence of the staff.
Management should at least teach its staff to be interactive and enthusiastic. Staff should not at that all visitors know everything and can click worth memorable photos. They should learn something from the enthusiasm of the upside down museum of Penang.
Recommendation Only go if you have lot of spare time to kill and lot of...
Read moreYesterday my friends n I went to this place in KL to find out more about this place. We plan to include this place as part of our program for our reunion of our schoolmates n classmates in July this year. First we have to find out how good is this place. So we approached the staff there n they were very pleasant n friendly. A member of the staff gave us a guided tour of the whole place. There were various rooms for photos such as making you look like a monster, making you upside down, climbing up the wall like Spider-Man, jumping up or down a well n looking like a giant n a dwarf! But all these are only illusions. There are some games too. There are plenty of portraits n pictures for which when you stare longer , the things will start moving in circles . There is a picture in which when you stare at it harder n longer, you will see a portrait of Einstein. There is a short tunnel that once you step on it, it will start turning round n round . It is very noisy but all the motions were only visual. The whole tour n activities took only 45 or 60 minutes only. It should be quite fun for families with kids n pensioners like us as well. But a friend said that in Ipoh, the house of illusions , has more rooms n with better illusions. Anyway we find the price per entry ticket is quite pricey. On the whole, it’s a good...
Read moreThis place is one that you will either enjoy or find it average. It largely depends on the company you’re with. If you love taking pictures, you will likely have a great time. However, I must admit that the price is quite steep for an experience lasting less than 30 minutes. The total duration really depends on how much time you spend at each section capturing photos.
During my visit, there were about three to four other groups present. I’m not sure if there’s a limit on the number of groups allowed per time slot, but I can imagine that a higher crowd might lead to longer waiting times for photos in each area. On the plus side, the staff were friendly and helpful.
Overall, this feels like a one-time visit rather than a place you’d return to frequently. I am giving it 3 stars primarily due to the value for money. Some of the illusions weren’t particularly mind-blowing, and the experience would be far more enjoyable if they introduced new, more creative illusions that would extend the visit to at least...
