I was truly impressed by the wonderful humans who work here. While I have a genuine interest in the science of perception and sensory experience, what stood out the most to me (without question), is THE PEOPLE! Thank you so much to Jordan, Warren, and Sophia… For being the most memorable parts of shaping my perception today, and beyond :) You’ve all made this experience one to absolutely remember! Kat

There are so many things to see, a small percentage that you wonder what you are seeing, but the vast majority are quite fascinating. So many varied and extraordinary visual experiences. Worth spending plenty of time to examine the detail of the exhibits.

Beautiful experience!!! Visited with my father and we had an amazing time. I loved trying to identify how they all work. It’s a bit too pricey, but still an amazing place to spend an hour or 2 (if you interact with everything and take pictures at every stop). ps. The staff know exactly how to take photos, so your photos will turn out well!!🥰 utilise it 😝
