SALT LAKE CITY — Want to bend your brain for an hour and get the best photos in town? Check out the brand-new Museum of Illusions at The Gateway.
It's the perfect place for a date night, family outing, or solo adventure for anyone who likes to leave reality a little more confused than when they arrived.
The Salt Lake City location stretches across roughly 13,000 square feet and features 80-plus interactive installations; from rooms that seem to go on forever, to holograms, reversed rooms, and classic perspective tricks that make you look like a skyscraper climber or a tiny giant in the same photo. It's part science lesson, part playground, and always Instagram-ready.
Don't forget to check out the infinity tunnel and the reversed room — they both make for those "wait, what?" moments that get everyone laughing and reaching for their phones. The museum mixes playful exhibits with a little brain science, so while you're taking your 10th selfie you'll also pick up why your eyes may be playing tricks on you! So make sure you plan for 60 to 90 minutes to see everything without rushing.
This is the company's first Utah location and one of the largest in North America — which means it's designed to draw both locals and visitors, and it adds a new, playful attraction to downtown Salt Lake's Gateway district.
Bring a friend or your crew, wear something bright for photos, and let the Museum of Illusions be a reminder that sometimes it's OK to see the world differently.
