Orlando: Museum of Illusions Ticket at ICON Park

Summary

Orlando’s playful illusions, interactive rooms & curious science

You’ll step into Orlando’s Museum of Illusions and find yourself laughing as you shrink in the Ames Room or float through the Infinity Room. With over 50 interactive exhibits and playful science tricks explained by local guides, every corner is a new surprise—and you’ll leave with photos (and memories) that make you question what you saw.

What’s the experience like?

“Don’t trust your eyes in here,” our guide grinned as we shuffled into the first room at the Museum of Illusions Orlando. I laughed, but honestly, she was right—my brain didn’t stand a chance. There was this weird moment in the Ames Room where my friend looked like he’d shrunk to half his size. He kept waving at me like a tiny mayor. The floor felt slanted under my feet, but I checked twice—it wasn’t. You could hear kids giggling behind us and someone’s phone camera snapping nonstop. The place smells faintly like popcorn from outside, mixed with that clean, cool AC air you only get in Florida attractions.

The Infinity Room was wild—mirrors everywhere, lights bouncing around so it felt like we were floating inside some kind of sci-fi kaleidoscope. Our local host, Li, showed us how to line up for the best photo (I still can’t figure out how my legs looked like they went on forever). She told us a bit about how all these illusions are based on real brain science—something about perception and tricking your senses. I’ll admit I zoned out for a second because there was this weird smell of bubblegum from someone’s backpack nearby and it threw me off.

We tried every single exhibit—over 50 of them—and honestly? Some made me dizzy (Reverse Room especially), but most just made us laugh or stare in confusion. It’s right in ICON Park, so after we finished pretending to float or shrink or whatever else, we wandered outside for lunch without even moving the car. Oh, also: it’s all indoors and wheelchair accessible, so nobody has to sit out. I keep thinking about that one photo where my head looks three times too big for my body… not sure if I’ll ever post it though.
