Puzzling Place

DO YOU BELIEVE YOUR EYES?

….Maybe you shouldn’t….’The Puzzling Place’ is a fun and eye-opening attraction based on optical illusion….Your visual system has floors….and they expose them!

In their ‘Anti-gravity Room’ you’ll swear that balls can roll up hill and you’ll encounter other strange phenomena that will leave you 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. As well as balls rolling up hill, water flows at an unnatural angle; in the room everyone appears to stand at an impossible slant and clean 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 in the Sideways Room!

Experience the ‘Eyelusion Exhibition’, where many of the best optical illusions around can be explored through interactive exhibits, artwork and sculptures. In it you’ll find the ‘Anti-gravity Dip’ and their ‘Perspective Chair’, as well as our ‘Light Tunnel’ and ‘ Walk in Kaleidoscope’. You can shake your own hand, rub out your friend and watch your skin crawl. You’ll come across impossible objects that defy common sense, static images that move and straight lines that bend. You can see yourself as others do, look down the bottomless chest and be tracked by their following faces. With over 5o exhibits and ‘pieces of strange’ to unleash a moment of astonishment for you, you’ll be left rubbing your eyes in disbelief.

And see our newest illusion room, known as an ‘Ames Room’ it’s the same effect that was used in the film ‘Lord of the Rings’ to create tall and little people. As you walk across the room you’ll visibly grow and shrink! Or you can make yourself look tiny or like a giant alongside a fellow visitor!

Have your eyes opened at ‘The Puzzling Place’!
