Museum of Illusions Philadelphia Reviews

Fantastic 5.0
We had an amazing time at The Franklin Institute! It’s one of the best science museums we’ve visited, with so many interactive exhibits that kept both the kids and adults entertained for hours. The Giant Heart, space exhibits, and hands-on activities were our favorites. Everything was well organized, clean, and the staff was friendly and helpful. If you’re visiting Philadelphia with family, this place is definitely worth adding to your itinerary. Highly recommended!

Great 4.0
The guide and the bus were awesome! they have combined the 1-day tour and 2-days tour into one group. as a result, I felt the itinerary has been compromised. Every stop we have only 10-20mins. The Amish country tour was very basic with a 10mins horse carriage ride around a field to see cows and chicken. Basic farm tour to see chicks, puppies, horses, cows, goats and 3 little pigs.
