Paradox Museum is one of the most fun and interactive attractions in London. Every room offers a unique optical illusion or hands on experience that challenges the way you see the world. It’s entertaining for both adults and children, and there are countless opportunities to take creative and unforgettable photos. The exhibits are well designed, engaging, and easy to enjoy at your own pace. The staff were friendly, helpful, and happy to explain the different illusions. If you’re looking for something different from the usual museums and want an experience that’s both educational and fun, Paradox Museum is definitely worth a visit.

We visited with our sons aged 11 and 9 and we all absolutely loved it. We booked tickets in advance and paid extra on the day for the anti-gravity room which was great. Really creative, highly interactive, educational and loads of fun. Highly recommend!

The perfect girls day out activity, we genuinely felt like teenagers again just laughing and enjoying every moment at Paradox Museum London. The space is really well done, with interactive installations and plenty of great photo spots throughout. It’s one of those places that’s even better when you go with friends. I would definitely recommend adding the Gravity Room as an extra, it’s one of the highlights and worth it. Tickets are around £34 (with Gravity room included) for adults depending on the time you go, with cheaper off-peak options if you book smart. The Gravity Room is an additional add-on, so worth factoring that into your budget as well.  We visited during their Easter special, which included an egg hunt and we each got two prizes, such a fun touch. We went at 5:30pm on a Thursday and it wasn’t busy at all, which made the whole experience even better. Even though it was school holidays, there were no kids around, so it felt quite relaxed. The souvenir shop was amazing. I honestly wish we had more time there, everything felt nostalgic with loads of fun and clever games that make you think. The only downside was the staff, who weren’t the most welcoming. It felt like they were a bit over it, possibly because we were one of the last time slots. That said, the person in the souvenir shop was lovely and really stood out. If you’re looking for something a bit different to do in London that’s still fun and worth capturing, this is definitely one to try. Perfect for a girls day out or even a date.

This place is really engaging. I highly recommend! It is hard to spend more than two hours here and it is quite costly, but everything is interesting here. You are engaged all the time, rather than waiting to see something you enjoy around the next corner. It is really interactive and very interesting. Ill go again.

We visited Paradox Museum in London and honestly, we can’t fault it. Yes, ticket holders still queue with everyone else, but the line moves quickly and it’s very well organised. Once inside, everything runs smoothly. Facilities were great – there’s a cloakroom, space for buggies, baby changing facilities and a lift, which makes it really family-friendly and stress-free with kids. The experience itself was such good fun for both adults and children. We especially loved having a little dance together in the disco room 🕺💃 It’s interactive, playful and keeps everyone entertained. It also didn’t feel overcrowded, which meant everyone could take their time and capture their moments properly. I loved that they provide phone stands with timers so you can take photos yourself and actually get the whole family in the picture – such a thoughtful touch. Clean space, helpful staff, and a really enjoyable experience from start to finish. Would definitely recommend for a fun family day out in London.
