Museum of Make Believe — Attraction in Laguna Beach

A small space but full of whimsy and intrigue. Aimed at adults, the detailed scavenger hunt would be too complex for a child. It can be enjoyed by children on a surface level, but adults who allow themselves can disappear into another world for an hour or so, and that's a nice thing right now. I do believe the prizes should be leveled up if adults are participating.

What a gem, so excited we have this place in OC, we do not have enough artist spaces like this! It feels like a blend of Tim Burton, Edward Gorey, and Disneyland inside. It actually reminded me a lot of the Museum of Jurassic Technology in LA.

Don’t get me wrong, the concept is cute and whimsical, and little ones might really enjoy it. But for adults, there’s not much to explore once you walk in.

Personally, I prefer popping in and out of the different art galleries nearby, which are free and offer a great variety of styles and creativity that’s part of what makes Laguna so...
