If you’ve ever wanted to defy gravity, walk on the ceiling, or lose yourself in a vortex tunnel—now’s your chance. The Museum of Illusions has officially opened its doors in San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter, marking the brand’s very first location in California. With more than 80 jaw-dropping exhibits packed into 9,000 square feet, this immersive, interactive space is already a standout attraction—perfect for summer fun.

Expect to see mind-bending optical illusions, 3D holograms that dance before your eyes, and immersive rooms that play with perspective and perception. From the gravity-defying tilted and reverse rooms to the dizzying vortex tunnel, every corner is designed to mess with your mind and fill your camera roll. And for San Diegans, there’s a local twist: surf culture-inspired exhibits that pay homage to the city’s iconic coastal vibes—including a wave-ready illusion that’ll have you “surfing” indoors.

Though it’s located in the heart of the historic Gaslamp District at 665 Fifth Avenue, this attraction is worth the trip no matter where you are in San Diego County. Whether you're a local looking for something new or a visitor planning a family outing, date night, or group event, the Museum of Illusions delivers a playful mix of education, art, and Instagram-worthy fun for all ages.

Open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays and until 10 p.m. on weekends, this new addition to downtown’s entertainment scene is quickly becoming a must-see. Want to beat the lines? Advance tickets, group bookings, and more info are available at www.moisandiego.com.
