Things to know before booking your ... tickets

Booking window

Pre-book Ahead: Tickets require advanced booking to secure your preferred time slot and avoid walk-up delays. Demand can spike during peak periods, so plan to book at least one week in advance (as of 2023‑10‑xx).

What’s included

Standard Access: Your ticket allows self-guided entry to all regular exhibits and interactive photo areas. No guided tours, food, or transportation are part of the standard offering.

Entrances & flow

Single Entrance Protocol: Entry is via a designated main door where pre-booked tickets typically bypass the purchase queue. A brief security check is required, and short waits may occur during busy periods.

Ways to explore

Self-Navigation: Enjoy a flexible, one-way route through the attraction’s themed rooms. Clear on-site signage helps overcome language barriers and simplifies moving from one exhibit to the next.

Policies & rules

Timed, Non‑Reentrant Entry: Once you exit, re‑entry isn’t allowed. Follow on‑site rules regarding photography and food, and be prepared for basic security checks and brief internal queues.

Tips & guidelines

• Choose comfortable, supportive shoes and wear a light jacket. Indoor air conditioning can make temperatures lower than expected, even during summer afternoons.
  
• Bring a charged smartphone or camera with adjustable settings for optimal photos. Many exhibits rely on precise angles to capture the optical illusions clearly.
  
• Plan to move at a steady pace, especially when it’s busy. If you’re sensitive to disorientation, consider skipping rooms like the vortex tunnel.
  
• Keep in mind that the museum is compact and often crowded during peak times and school holidays. Arrive a few minutes early to enjoy each exhibit without feeling rushed.
