    Museum of Illusions was such a fun little downtown adventure. Parking was easy and I lucked up with…read morea spot right up front. I walked right in. Purchasing tickets online was simple and let me choose the exact date and time I wanted to visit. Check in was quick with the email confirmation. The museum itself was very clean and I constantly saw employees wiping down and tidying exhibits. Some of the illusions were tricky to figure out at first, but the placards on the walls explained everything really well. The staff was also super helpful and happy to show guests the best angles for photos. Emma was especially amazing at helping frame pictures and making sure we got good shots inside the exhibits. One exhibit featured a spinning tunnel that was tough for me because of equilibrium issues, so keep that in mind if you are sensitive to motion effects. This is a quick and entertaining side quest while downtown. It took us about an hour and fifteen minutes to experience everything.Theres no rush and you move at your own pace. I would definitely come back again.

Employees were very attentive when asking if we wanted to get a photo, which is great. There was even one employee who was cleaning one of the mirror illusions, but stopped and took the time to explain how the illusion worked for us. I wish I had gotten his name, because he was an awesome employee. My main gripe, as stated previously, was that the museum was smaller than we thought. It took us 30 minutes to get through all the illusions, and for the price point to enter, just didn't seem worth it in comparison. I'm glad I went, I just probably won't go back for a while. I did get some nice photos.

Definitely spent hours in here, as there are so many levels, room, activities, etc. Really loved the activities that were super engaging, both for kids and adults.

Parking is across the street under the highway. it's $15, which is not the best but at least it's a short walk. It was pretty easy finding a spot too.

This place is huge with multiple floors of hands-on and educational exhibits that kept our son moving the whole time. We even booked the soccer exhibit with our general admission tickets and had a lot of fun exploring different soccer challenges and interactive spots at our own pace. Our son especially loved building a Lego arena and creating his mascot at the soccer exhibit. The museum is clean and the staff are friendly. We booked our tickets online which was very quick and easy. We went on a weekday and it wasn't too crowded, which made chasing our little one around much easier. There's a parking garage within walking distance to the museum and you pay before you leave. We had an absolute blast especially our son. If you have an active little one who loves to run around and explore, this is a fantastic spot. Highly recommend - we'll definitely be back the next time we're in Dallas.

I went to 3 other parking garages before I found one that felt safe with an easy walk. We purchased tickets in advance ($17 - Super Sweet Karaoke) General Admisson. As we entered The Sweet Tooth Hotel you could hear the off-key Karaoke in the bar area. We received a room key at the desk for the additional 7-8 rooms. The first three rooms were vibrant and full of local art installations. I was obsessed with the Mad Hatter's tea Party themed room. The bar is fun! Lots of reflective mirrors. You can purchase desserts here as well as cocktails. I wish this place stayed open until 1am. We stayed until closing which was (11pm) I ordered the "sunset dream" cocktail.

The DMA has a supporter membership for $120. It includes parking which would cost you $20 otherwise. You also get two free admission tickets that you can use to view the museum's collections or any special exhibitions each and every day of the year. The membership will also provide a discount at the museum store and in the snack bar. Visit twice during the year, and the membership more than pays for itself. You can buy your membership online, print the receipt, and show it for free parking. Once inside the venue, show the receipt at the check-in desk to get your free tickets to the special exhibit(s). Your DMA cards will be mailed to you in four weeks, in the mean time, use that printed receipt for everything. We renewed our membership this weekend April 2026 and went to see the Samurai Collection. Metalwork is not a favorite of mine, but I was still fascinated by the stories presented on the placards throughout the exhibit and I certainly appreciated the beautiful, intricate craftsmanship presented in each piece. I didn't realize that the Samurai swords and armor had been banned from production in Japan, so the metal workers pivoted and learned to become artisans. They started to make and repair metal embellishments, lanterns, and incense burners for the numerous temples in the country. Many of the items in this collection were from Kyoto and Nara, both places my husband and I visited in November 2009. The full body armor was fascinating. Little pieces of leather were coated in metal, painted, and woven tightly together to form a moveable, but protective layer over the body. The workmanship was exquisite. The exhibit had a few short videos you could watch to learn about the work. I especially liked the 30 second clip about the process of making cloisonné. These vases are beautiful and the process to make each one is detailed and meticulous. Kids could collect a postcard-sized scavenger hunt near the entrance and use that to stay in engaged throughout the visit. At the end, there was a sign on the wall with the answer key pictures showing which art pieces help the intricate designs they were looking for. The DMA has a permanent collection that includes a variety of art from around the globe, as well as multiple special exhibits throughout the year. Everyone is bound to find something that delights them and inspires conversation and wonder. Worth a visit!

It's been ten years since my visit and I'm back because Mrs. K. has never been here and I wanted her to see it. As I mentioned in my review from before, Dealey Plaza is up there with Times Square and Hollywood Boulevard. Yes, there are others including the National Mall, the Freedom Trail and Kennedy Space Center and the Grand Canyon, but this one is so visceral and so critical to the American experience that it should not be missed. Even for those of us who weren't born before 1963, it's still a critical part of our lives. We got our tickets from the desk, waited in the rope lines and were boarded onto the elevator at the designated time. Inside the museum, lots of crowds. They're doing what they can to balance the multitude of people who want to experience this with the desire of people to actually read the signs, displays and history of one of the most traumatic events in modern American history. It was simply too crowded. We spent about an hour trying to get between the bunches of folks between us and the artifacts, reading signs that explain the chronology of Kennedy's visit. It's much more than just that one day in November 1963, including history of Kennedy's election and why he came to Dallas to begin with. And yes, you can look out the window to see the "x" on the street where it happened. After that, the investigations, the conspiracies and all. All the physical evidence that exists in the American psyche. You'll enjoy the museum. The crowds? You'll just have to tolerate that part. I don't know that there's anything you can do about it.

It penpointed locations on the earth where Jews was killed. It was way more countries involved in the mass near extinction of Jews. One thing that stuck with me tho is when I was watching this video, they said that it was a false rumor that Jews killed Jesus Christ. While they didn't physically kill him, the Romans did, but they did say crucify him and give us Barabbas. So they WAS responsible for killing Jesus. Also they had things about catholic and Jehovah witness Jews...not so sure about that. Jews are very adamant about Judaism and will fight to remain that way. They rejected Islam, Buddhism, and even the very Jesus Christ who is the Son of God that completed the prophecy of Moses and founded Christianity. In fact Catholics and Muslims have been known to kill Jews and Christians for centuries. They did great work getting the things used to kill the Jews. I saw the cyanide from gas chambers, the rail car thru used to transport the Jews to the death camps, it was clothes that was found after they sent them to the gas chambers, it was a sad experience to see because it makes you feel some of the pain they went through. Overall it is stomach turning to see people killed in mass numbers...by the millions. And for no reason. It's a constant reminder that we are in the last days and Jesus is soon to come.

I think the most with all detailed walking it may take a couple of hours the most. The staff was very pleasant, you have to go through the scanner for security reasons. I was impressed with the their demo. Especially when doors close and open automatically in the dark. The saddest part is to go through the historical part. That was one of the worst times in the history. For someone who was born in Soviet Union and raised on the World War II stories from older generation, movies, history and books in school, going over this again was a great reminder. My son was interested in reading and watching documentaries, and was asking many questions. I felt like I went generations back. My own grandfather was fighting in that war, he came back injured. The museum keeps history alive. An hour was full of memories, information and emotions. My little one asked me if we can go back someday. I don't mind. Parking was very convenient, across the entrance there is a garage and street parking is available.
