★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 364 reviews · from $10Our pick

Bucharest Museum of Senses ticket for 40 interactive exhibits in 11 rooms, including mirror maze, Ames room, and infinity mirrors. Wi-Fi, lockers.

“It was fun. The hall of mirrors was definitely the highlight for me. The staff were polite and everything ran smoothly. While the activities were enjoyable, I expected the museum to be a bit bigger and offer more variety for the 50 lei entrance fee. Maintenance was decent. Still, if you are looking for something light-hearted and a bit different, it’s worth a visit.”
