What Visitors Say
Had a couple of hours to kill between lunch and a show in the evening. Googled what to do in London and Twist Museum popped up. Very reasonable price and looked interesting so off we went! Easy to find and get to via public transport the staff were very friendly and helpful on arrival. There are free storage lockers available for bags, coats etc which was helpful. What followed was a veritable smorgasbord of things to entertain and bemuse!! Equally fascinating for adults AND kids with some brilliant photo opportunities along the way! You can take your own photos and there are stops along the way to create pics which you can buy at the end. No time limit for your visit so you can go back and forth as often as you like! Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves....if you are in the area give it a go....you wont regret it....we didnt!
The staff was amazing! Very kind and helpful throughout my visit. Made the museum itself even more enjoyable. I enjoyed all the illusions and getting to just play essentially. Was very quiet while I was there so I really got to take in each display fully. Took me about an hour and half total and like I said that was with me taking it slow. There were lockers, hangers, and bathrooms available. Elevator for those who need it too.
Absolutely love it ❤️ since we was entered this place we was warm welcomed. There was no queue, had lockers, hangers for clothes everything free, toilet as well. We spend 2h enjoying and having fun. 2 people enough to make a picture. A massive thank you for signs on each wall which helps to understand what need to do and it is explaining why we see like this. There was no queue to see each room, or picture. Not too crowded which is really helpful to enjoy experience 😍 many positive vibes and we decided that we definitely will come again in this amazing place
I recently brought my nephew here for a day out and w had a great time. There are so many interesting interactive rooms and illusions. My 10 year old nephew had a great time and so did i. It a great place to take kids and even for adults. They stagger the time slots as it does get crowded so this helps. Time slots fill up in the holiday periods so try to book in advance if going with children. You can't buy tickets on the door and they is a booking fee online which seems a little unfair. I think they should relook this as you are forcing people to book online but adding to the ticket price
Really fun activity to try in London - my son aged 11 and my father (aged 80 with a mobility scooter) both really enjoyed it and the photo opportunities are awesome! I would say that they shouldnt allow so many people in for each booking - often my father could not get a good view of exhibits, as there were so many children and families that we had to queue to see the optical illusions. I do think the price was a little high also, but other than that it was a really wonderful thing to do. All but two of the exhibits are wheelchair accessable, and there are large lifts and doorways for easy access.

Fun Facts
TWIST stands for The Way I See Things, and the experience was developed with input from artists, neuroscientists, and philosophers.
The venue is wheelchair accessible, with all 80 exhibits across one level, and entry from street level with lift access.
Typical visit time is 60 to 90 minutes once you are inside the exhibition space.
Regular hours are later on Fridays, and weekends start earlier, so it is an easy add-on before dinner or after shopping on Oxford Street.
Restrooms are available on site, including baby-changing facilities, and there are free lockers for bags and coats.
