🏆 Funzaroo Verdict

Best for multigenerational families where the challenge is finding one activity that genuinely engages both an 11-year-old and an 80-year-old simultaneously. Reviewers confirm this pulls off that balance. Allow at least 90 minutes to work through all exhibits properly.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

⏰Allow 90 minutes minimum — rushing through misses the detail in each exhibit
🎟️Wheelchair accessible throughout with lifts and wide doorways
🚗Off-peak visits let you spend longer at each illusion without waiting

“Twist Museum is a really fun place to visit. It’s great for kids, and there are lots of interesting illusions and interactive things to try. You can spend quite a long time in there exploring and taking pictures. Definitely a good place for a family day out.”

“Really fun activity to try in London - my son aged 11 and my father (aged 80 with a mobility scooter) both really enjoyed it and the photo opportunities are awesome! I would say that they shouldnt allow so many people in for each booking - often my father could not get a good view of exhibits, as there were so many children and families that we had to queue to see the optical illusions. I do think the price was a little high also, but other than that it was a really wonderful thing to do. All but two of the exhibits are wheelchair accessable, and there are large lifts and doorways for easy access.”
