The Puzzling Place
About
Welcome to The Lake District's Wonderful World of Optical Illusion!
The Puzzling Place World of Illusion takes the theme of Illusion and runs with it. It is home to our ‘Anti-gravity Room’, ‘Ames Room’, ‘Hologram Gallery’ and ‘Eyelusions Exhibition’. It’s a fascinating, fun and social excursion into the wonderful world of optical illusion, which will leave you quite literally, not believing your eyes!
As the appeal of optical illusions crosses all age ranges the ‘World of Illusions’ is an ideal place to be enjoyed and experienced with friends or family, however young or old. It’s generally the older generation of the family who are left surprised by how much they’ve enjoyed their visit!
