Museum of Illusions.

The Museum of Illusions is one of those unique spots that’s actually fun for all ages. It’s a series of rooms and installations that play with perspective, color, and perception, so you’re constantly being tricked. One room makes you look ten feet tall while another flips the world upside down. There are puzzles, mirrors, and interactive displays that make it feel more like a hands-on science playground than a traditional museum.

I visited with a friend and we laughed the entire time. It’s not a long visit, maybe an hour or so, but it’s packed with moments that are clever, surprising, and very photo-friendly. If you’re looking for something light and interactive in the West Village, it’s an easy pick, especially on a rainy afternoon when you want to do something indoors without zoning out in a dark theater.
