The Museum of Illusions Trapani

Great place with a lot of optical illusions that can really make you doubt yourself.
It is guided tours so it can be smart to book this in advance. The tour takes around 45 minutes.
The tour guide was just great and she took pictures for us.
Well worth a visit.

We enjoyed every moment and it’s super fun and our tour guide Sofia was very helpful and explained everything in detail. Thank you

It was a beautiful experience, very well explained, and the guide, Alessia, was very comprehending, patient and happy to explain. I went here for a school trip from the classical high school "G. Ugdulena" and I can say it was a fantastic experience. Very much would recommend!

Don't miss this if you are in Trapani

You need to book your time slot online. They are extremely punctual.

It's in the limited traffic area of Trapani old center. Parking is available about 5mins away

Our guide Rita was great, but the whole team are really nice, welcoming and are great guides.

The presentation is in Italian and English

In winter it's only available on the weekend.

Definitely not to miss

Visited on a Sunday with ten year old daughter and really enjoyed this curious experience where science and fun collide! Our guide was excellent 👌 explaining each display in Italian and again in perfect English. We came away with some super photos and good memories. Well worth the trip, good value and also educational! All the boxes ticked. Highly recommend. Thanks MOOI ❤🙏

Alesia was a very good tour guide. We really enjoyed our visit to the museum.

We had an wonderful experience at the museum. Our guide Sofia was amazing and spoke great English. She took some amazing pictures with us in of the illusion. It’s a really fun place to go and recommend on a hot day as it is air conditioned.

Not only for kids, but for grown ups, too. Thank you Monica for the guided English tour

I've been to two other museums of illusions, but this is the only one with guided tours, which is great. Our guide, Clara, made it a very fun experience and explained everything in a way easy to understand. The guides also take pictures for you and direct you on how to pose.
The only downside for me was that you have to wear shoe covers, which kind of ruins these great pictures.
Reservation is a must as the groups are small, so the slots fill quickly. You are required to pay upon arrival.

We visited the museum last Sunday, we had not done any booking beforehand as I thought that we can walk in. However, thankfully they managed to fit us in 😄. Special thanks goes to Alessandra for her patience as we did not understand italian. So she explained perfectly well in English. The museum is fun to visit and very well taken care of.

The museum is definitely worth seeing it. My family spent marvellous time up there. It' very interesting and instructive both for kids and adults.
The whole staff was helpfull and the guide Monica was very competant and helpfull person.
Please remember to book in advance, because the are so many visitors who are likely to see it...

I’d advise pre booking on their website. We had a great time, Julia was amazing, especially as she was doing the tour in English which she spoke incredibly well. Got some great pictures and is a fun hour.

It was such a nice experience. The museum is really interesting and the tour guides explained everything in a great way. I had a lot of fun and my guide took a lot of Nice pictures of the illusions for me.

Fun experience with plenty of photo ops. Sofia was an amazing guide :)

The Museum was absolutely astonishing! It made me feel like a child again. The guide was fantastic, and surely knew how to catch attention. Highly recommended.

Worth it. I really recommend it. Good for children and adults. It takes around 1 hour to visit and it is with a guide. You need to book before arriving because it is by small group.

We had a lovely experience, don't miss it if you visit Trapani! Monica, our guide was amazing! You can have the experience in English, that helped. Definitely recommend!

If one is visiting Trapani, this museum is definitely worth visiting. Its exhibits are amazing, and Giulia, who conducted our tour of the museum, did a great job in explaining the various illusory exhibits.

A must-go visit when in Trapani. The Museum is created with quite some love. Our tour guide Cynthia (?) was passionate, patient and very, very customer facing. Well done! We loved it.

It is a guided tour, which has its pros and cons but the guide really knew what she was talking about. It's a small place but she took her time explaining the history behind everything and how it worked. Don't buy tickets on your laptop as the website doesn't have the correct format. You need to book a slot using the mobile website and then you just pay when you get there.
