Mind Mystery keeps illusions open late

The real protagonist here is your brain. Upside-down rooms, the Ames Room and mirrors continually alter scale and direction, while the extended evening gives families time to experiment without racing a normal afternoon closing time. On six selected evenings from 29 July, the experience museum stays open until 21:00 with tours, magic and previews added to the regular illusions.

• Special nights are 29 and 31 July plus 5, 7, 12 and 14 August.
• Admission is €18.95 for adults and ages 12+, €14.95 for ages 5–11, and free through age four.
• A visit usually takes 2–2.5 hours and parking beside the entrance is free.
• Some illusions can affect balance or sensory comfort, so check accessibility guidance when relevant.

Treat this as a small summer story with a clear setting, not simply another pin on a map. Times, ticket types and practical arrangements can still change. Reopen the official page before booking or leaving, and allow some margin for transport, weather and food so the day stays enjoyable.

Hokimi field note: Book an early slot, tackle the most energetic rooms first and save guided moments and photographs for dusk.
