‘The Puzzling Place’ is a fun and eye-opening attraction, existing somewhere between reality and illusion.
In their ‘Anti-Gravity Room’, you’ll encounter strange phenomena that will leave you (beyond) amazed. Being the only room of its kind in the country, the Anti-Gravity Room is a fun and social excursion into the wonderful world of sensory illusions. Balls seem to roll upward on a hill, water flows at an unnatural angle; in the room, everyone appears to stand at an impossible slant and lean effortlessly into space without falling.
Even when you know the secret, the effects are no less amazing.
The ‘Sideways Room’ is a room with a twist, a 90 degree twist to be precise! This is a great little space to have some fun, interact with friends or family and take some crazy looking snaps!
You’re limited only by your imagination!
We won’t spoil all of the exhibitions, but with over 50 ‘think-pieces’ and five exhibit areas, including three illusion rooms, there’s something to excite even the biggest skeptics. Dads and grandads, we’re looking at you…
AT A GLANCE
Booking: Outside of school holidays there is no need to book. During school holidays, and when rain is forecast, we recommend booking online.
Dogs: Well-behaved dogs are allowed into the museum on leads, and they even get free entry!
Accessibility: The museum is located on the first floor, up a steep flight of stairs, so there is currently no wheelchair access. There are also no toilets on site, though the public toilets are just a few minutes’ walk away.
