This was my one must-go to attraction when I planned my trip to Museum Of 3D Illusions. We came on a weekday morning so it was too crowded, but we loved it so much that we decided to go back that same night- for a night pic! I am now convinced that I love everything more at night! Cant help but get lost in what seems like endless rows of lights!

We got some really cool pictures here, and they even help you get the best position for optical illusion.

Absolutely loved this place!!!!! Make sure your phone is fully charged to take lots of pictures. Great place to visit when you go to Pier 39. My family and I had so much fun!!!!

Lovely place, nice , clean ill do it again

It is a fun place to visit. Pretty crowded but if everyone is patient the spaces are shareable. Some of the illusions are really cool but others dont quite work. Overall it was a fun family adventure.

The art work in this museum is amazing! The place is not that big. It can get crowded but when we came it was ok. This is a great activity for the whole family or a “couple thing.” They has a variety of art work but I think it’s not enough! We thought we were going to be there at least an hour but it was like 30-40 mins tops. It really does give that 3D effect if you stand at the right spot. To get the 3D effect you have to follow and give instructions otherwise it won’t work!We had a really good time but they seemed short staffed. We ordered our tickets ahead of time and the lady could not find my ticket reservation. Thank goodness she still let us in. We would’ve had the VIP though. Kudos to the staff for their patience! It is pricey for a short time frame. But fun is guaranteed!!!Tip: we were having so much fun and I forgot, if you go on IG the boomerang effect would be an awesome add to this 3D. I’ll have to try it next time I come!!!

A extremely great museum that makes people feel like they are in a 3d dimension

Lovely place

Glad I found this place. So much fun and the staff was really nice.

Amazing place for 3D illusion! You don’t need to be creative there is well-described playbook on the wall for each art! You only need to follow the instructions and the photo will turn out perfectly! The place is very small and lots of people traffic lining up for one shot! But there’s no limited on the time! So enjoy the fun!

Sooo much fun, we laughed and laughed

Added some pictures to get you an idea, if you click any more creative photos here reply to this post with your photos attached

Surprisingly entertaining!!! If you have a good group of people and like taking pictures....definitely give this a try. We enjoyed it and have many photos to enjoy!

Fun place, if it isnt super crowded!! Not sure Id feel the same if we paid full price, but loved it with the Groupon deal!!

All my family like it. The place is small, if its crowded its hard to take a picture with people interrupting you but it worth the money. I recommend this place.

Its very cool and fun. I just found it small. but its very different and creative. I loved it

It was really fun! Came here with my kids and they had a blast posing in the pictures. Could be a little better organized. There were a lot of people in there at once which made it hard to take some of the pictures at the right angle. Still worth going to! Love our pictures from that day!

Well I expected more but it is just clever wall paintings. Nevertheless had fun with the kids. Some of the illusions like staircase and fall from buildings were really cool though. On weekends its a little crowdy so one has to be very patient while taking the pics. Also people need to be considerate enough not to block other persons views. Good thing is that they have clearly marked the spots which is at just the correct angle for taking pictures. A wide angle lense would be better to shoot in such close quarters.

Definitely worth checking out. Since it is new expect to wait in line 60+ minutes even if you are prepaid. The murals are in 2D, but at the right angle in your camera lenses the image appears in 3D. Its very crowded and since each area has 3-4 murals and the place designated to take the photo from overlap its difficult for others not to be in your shot. They could limit the amount of people in each area to enhance the experience, but that would extend your wait time. They offer free lockers to store your belongings. It takes about an hour to get through the museum. My teenage daughters had a blast. I recommend it for kids 8+.

This place is really cool. If you do your homework you can get great pics and only have to go once. We will have to visit again to get some of the poses better

This place is super fun! Took my friend here for her birthday! And we totally lost track of time in clicking all the pictures! And we were so engrossed in this other world! Super fun! Also, dont be shy to get help from the photographer helpers because that makes movement more efficient. ️

Place was awesome and fun! Only complaint was how crowded it was. The staff shouldve done a better job at letting groups go in longer intervals... Otherwise, a blast getting creative!

One of the coolest things Ive seen with 3d illusions. You can find parking close. We used Pier 39 parking garage but we had dinner reservations afterwards. The place is very easy to get to. It can get crowded but just take your turn to get your shots and youll be fine. You really do have to stand on the icon thing to get the full 3d effect. Sometimes this is hard as your standing in the way of other people but its worth the wait. You could easily go thru in 30 minutes but Id recommend taking your time and getting the right angles of the photos. Kids loved it!! Very happy we found this place and the price was totally worth it! Very friendly staff too.

My first time here in San Francisco n wanted to check this place out. WOW just blows my mind on how creative the 3D illusion paints were.The staff were just cool, friendly, fun and helpful as well on making the photos look amazing on few. Thanks team. @ Museum of 3D Illusions

We loved it. We had a lot of fun, pictures and illusions. Very memorable. Great Experience!!

Theyre were plenty of illusions and if you get in at the right time, you could get great photos by spending little more time getting the pictures just right. Even in a hurry the illusions turn out great

Fun lots of interesting memories

My first time here is San Francisco and thought I would check this place out and wow just blows my mind on how creative the 3D illusion paints were. The staff were very friendly and fun and helpful as well on making the photos look amazing. If I ever come back to San Francisco again Ill definitely come to the 3D illusion museum again. Thanks for the experience

I honestly had no idea what to expect - I thought this was a museum in the traditional sense of the word.But its not, & I had a blast! This is a selfie wonder world!Each room has great images that you take selfies with. It was sooooo much fun! You will need your cellphone. They have tripods you can rent (a necessity, IMO) and free lockers where you can store your stuff so youre not lugging it around.From there, all you need is a sense of imagination.Make sure you know how to use your phone cameras timer. I have a bluetooth remote, because I take a lot of selfies by myself, that made it easier to easily take a lot of pics. Either way, it was a ton of fun! For sure, Ill be going back with friends!

Nice, fun museum. It doesnt take a lot of time to cover, somewhere between 45mins to 1hr.Do take a tripod with you, if you forget, there is one available on rent for $7.

The VIP package we got was well worth it. A personal photographer and guide for an hour inside who helped us set up the ideal poses for each backdrop. Ivan, thank you for being our guide and photographer and letting us express ourselves, cant wait to see how they all came out! Parking at the hotel zephyr garage was incredibly conveniently located just through the fire bar. There were only a handful of other guests inside on a sunday. It took a minute to come out of our shells and let loose but we had a blast. There is a fair amount of sitting down and laying down and kneeling for certain backdrops and a couple jumps but we still had a blast.

Cool place for the kids. Seems to be a popular place on the weekends. Use the online store to get discount tickets and to reserve a time.

A unique experience. Not the easiest to work with a child trying to sleep on your arm, but we made it work.

First time here.. Love it we enjoy it only problem was kids need to stay with Their parents or parents watch over your kids.. Its a small place and we all want to enjoy.

The place is small, but jam packed with awesome picture opportunities. I visited with a friend and my mom in a wheel chair and the place was accessible throughout. Staff was super nice too. Parking is difficult and the guys running the lot next door were rude.

It’s lots of fun with the family. The staff is friendly.The photographer who makes the magnets to sell you would also guide you for the best pictures and help you take pictures with your own phones. This makes me not mind buying 2 magnets for $10.Hint: bring a tripod for your smart phone / camera. Tripod rentals are $7.Check Groupon for discounts.

Beautiful 3D paintings friendly staff and helpful staff!

Its really fun. I recommend renting the tripod or taking yours so you can take photos. Definitely not a place to go to alone. Spend about an hour and a half to two hours there because you will need it.

We had so much fun!!!

Awesome arts and fun for kids.

Good fun taking pics! Went when it wasnt busy on a Thursday mid day. Only a couple ahead of us. About 40+ different stations to take pics. It was kinda warm inside. They should turn down the thermostat a little because does take a little physical exercise to pull off some of the shots. Approx. 1/3 of the photo stations didnt have sample pics to properly pose for some photos so we either by-passed them or made up our own. I can see you can get frustrated waiting for people ahead of you to finish their shots. A bit high priced on the admission, so I can see people visiting just once.

Love, love, love the illusions!! So very cool!! But price feels a little steep for the space. Its not very big, although you could spend a lot of time here taking pics. I recommend going, but keep in mind its smaller than you would expect, and better for older kids. Not a lot for youngers to do, unless they are really into getting their pic taken LOL!!

First review 2nd Jan 2020: This place is overpriced and no help inside if needed for guidance on taking photos. They promise a lot of help volunteers before you buy tickets but once you are in, you are on your own. Preference goes to those who buy VIP but there were not enough volunteers. std ticket customers got ignored on the particular day (1st Jan 2020).Updated Review : 6th Jan 2020: I am thankful that the 3D management took the review seriously and positively. Accepted their fault of under-staffing causing drop in quality of service provided on that particular day. They were nice enough to provide a reasonable resolution and counteroffer. Hope the place would be appropriately staffed on holidays

The art was fun, and staff was super nice and helpful. There was staff walking around making themselves available for assistance taking pics which was nice. And the souvenirs at the end of the where affordable.

Great place to go while at SFO. We went to this place by chance and enjoyed immensely. Kids and adults alike!

Little overrated I feel. But the art is good. 4 stars to encourage artists.

The place was beautiful, I loved the painting artwork. Although I kind of wanted more illusions. But through it all it was good. I thank the artiste whove done a really good job to make the place nice. Thank you for the experience.

After charging us full price for admission, despite the fact there were $5/person discount coupons right outside the entrance, the cashier told us too late when we discovered the coupons less than 5 minutes after paying. The cashier should have alerted us to the coupons right outside the door that were available to anyone, or they should have automatically applied the discount upon checkout. A horrible start to what was otherwise a good experience.Post script: the response from the owner below suggests that the $5 (PER PERSON) coupon was only distributed by promoters. Guess what? These coupons were on display NEXT TO THE ENTRANCE of the establishment. There werent any promoters involved. We didnt pay attention to the stand holding the coupons because it looks like any other brochure stand which are planted on that main drag. Someone in our party just happened to walk back outside (after we paid) and noticed the coupons while we waited for someone to use the lavatory.

I got the VIP experience and was amazing. Photographer was nice and sweet. She was so professional and we really enjoy the experience, hope to see you soon again. Thank you

I loved the artwork and the creativity for each of the displays but it was difficult to really enjoy or even decide on how to interact with the art due to the lack of traffic control. At one point everyone in my group was spending only 5-10 seconds at each station quickly posing and rotating just to avoid accidental photo bombers (which happened anyways). If the pacing was done a little better between each group let in it wouldnt be so hectic.

Great place to visit. Lots of exciting imagines to photo and the staff are very helpful

Super cool place! such good customer service, very friendly, and helpful while taking pictures. a very unique place to visit! highly recommend.

1st Date Nite of 2020 was super fun. And the staff was perfect.

It was complete fun, and a total work out. I plan on going again. I highly recommend getting a photographer that will take and edit photos for you. I am currently still waiting on the edits to come back cant wait. Evan was my photographer, he was great.

Beautiful people & art work. The photographers know what they doing! Just give them your phone & Pose baby!

What a unique place, the art is outstanding and the effects are mind blowing!The place is conveniently located between pier 39 and fishermans wharf - the magnet of tourist attractions. We were greeted by a friendly host, and were explained how to navigate in the space. If you are not a selfie monster and dont know how to pose, look out for framed examples of how to pose with that particular painting. They are usually located next to the painting itself.Some of the effects I only noticed after I was scrolling though the photos, they are just mind blowing. Definitely recommend to all selfie maniacs out there, to friends and families as a unique experience and a memorable photo collection!

Really awesome art, and great photo opportunities are great, but the experience is masked by a cramped space, over crowded experience, and underwhelming positioning of the art.Really enjoyed this spot, but it was really hard to actually experience this exhibit.This place is not for groups larger than 2 people. And be aware that the staff doesnt really pace anyone or help with order, its a free for all.Protip, try to go on off peak hours.

This was our first stop in San Francisco, and we had so much fun! Definitely a great way to spend a rainy afternoon. The staff was very friendly and helpful, especially Carl, who guided us and helped us get some awesome shots!

The family had a great time on there. Especially the grandkids!!! They took some cool pictures!

Pretty nice for what its worth

The kids really loved it and the service was very good! It was a bit smaller than we expected. Cool concept!

Must must see and do!!!! You definitely wont regret it. A bit pricey but great deals and worth the price.

We went Tuesday 6/11 at 11:30 am. No lines and no crowds. We spent about an hour and had a blast. Great place!

Fun place to visit and be silly

SO MUCH FUN!! HAD A BLAST, IF YOUR IN THE AREA YOU SHOULD TOTALLY DO THIS

Its worth visiting once. Too crowded for taking pictures

Just go to this place you will love it. Bring a 35mm camera, you will need it.

The suggestion pics was a brilliant idea. Loved the place

The art was cool but definitely not worth the $20-$25. It was pretty crowded because it’s a small space and that’s during a week night. I was disappointed.

Fun place to take some wacky pictures. Id advise going during the week if you can beacuse too many people ahead or behind spoils the picture taking experience. The staff were very helpful and suggested some great tips for getting perfect puctures.

Kind staff and a good atmosphere overall but the museum itself and the expirence was severely lacking, especially for the $25 per person pricetag. I would not recommend this for anything over $10, its way too pricey for what you get (which ends up being in essence a cheesy photo). The artwork was nice but nothing especially interesting. Its really up to you in the end to make the expirence.4/10 would be good for a much lower price.

Over 1 hour wait in an outside line even with tickets. Tickets for 2pm, didn’t get in until 3:15. Waste of valuable time. I guess we should count ourselves lucky that it wasn’t raining?

Pretty cool place I would give 5 stars if it wasnt for the fact most of the other people didnt follow the badic directions of where to stand when taking pictures causing them to be in the way of others

Cool but kinda pricey, staff wont leave you alone about yelp, many of the paintings are worn/chiped/need of a touch up, and people are just rude, cutting in front of you while you try to take a picture, or impatiently glaring at you. Give yourself time to come here and be patient.

Really fun experience for the family!!

Lots a fun. And you can play with you imagination a lot!

Was great fun in here for us and the kids.

Fun and forces you to be creative and think outside the box to take advantage if the 3d illusions

To get a hold of customer service with questions they don’t answer even if I called when they opened never received a call back and even tried to email them and there was no response.

So fun. Looks so real

Jt was an amazing place. Nice artwork

I wanted to love this place because it looked fun for a quick 20-30 minutes of our time. I have to agree with the comments of ZERO control of the flow or of how to monitor guests coming in and out of the “museum”. When I first arrived, there were 2 ladies trying to manage the line outside ~ at first I had no idea they were supervisors/managers/owners???, because they had no identification that they actually worked at the museum. The European brunette managing the door was polite and tried monitoring the queue outside the door. As the people inside who paid waited for their turn to enter the first exhibit, Brunette held the people outside from entering until the group in front was able to walk to the first mural. Once those guests walked in, she told me I could go in next. The cashier waiting inside asked to please wait my turn ~ clearly there was NO ONE IN FRONT OF ME...however, he kept saying for me to wait. I stepped back and was completely confused because the brunette at the door said to go in ~ keeping in mind there was still a line out the door. So here I am for a good 3-5 minutes just standing there waiting for someone to tell me if I could approach the CASHIER to SHOW my ticket or not. At that point, I nearly just wanted to leave because I felt as if the employees were pointing at me like I was being an impatient customer. Unbelievable customer service. Never again, don’t waste your money on this cheesy museum. Spend it on a sundae at Ghirardelli Square or something.***The only person who seemed to try to diffuse any part of this situation was a young Asian guy, who probably shouldn’t have said to me “I know sometimes I get impatient waiting for things” as if I was rushing through the doors ~ but he did apologize for the confusion.I walked in and saw all the murals and realized, it was just a waste of time filled with people wanting to take selfies.

Interesting place. Well prepared illusions with examples of use.

Carl Jr was amazing, Maria as well she help us take nice pictures of us, I would definitely would like to come here again. I wish there was a 7 star so I could give it to you guys.

Playful side of picture taking.

Try this place in case u havent tried it yet

Place was amazing ! Staff was so helpful. Would recommend bringing kids also !! Good tourist attraction

One of a kind experience. It was fun.

It was interesting but I didnt find anything too unique about it. Many of the illusions were confusing.

This was really a great time - could be a little less expensive but still worth the fun time :)

We had a blast! Would definitely recommend it!

The museum was a lot of fun and Carl at the front desk was very helpful and informative!

My family & I had a great time. We went during the week & it wasnt crowded at all.

Maybe good for a family. I thought it wasnt worth $25! Maybe $5.

Had so much fun!!

Everything was really cool! Just wanted some hand sanitizer after.

We had fun at the museum...just wish it was larger!

Perfect place to hang with friends and family and take pictures, cool pictures to remember

Cool place.

Meh. wasnt really worth the ticket price. mostly just kind of cool murals. prolly wouldnt waste ur money unless your biggest hobby is taking pictures of yourself
