Not many people can say they’ve scaled a skyscraper, fought off a dragon or flown on a magic carpet ride. Neither can you, but your Instagram followers don’t need to know that. Located in the bustling city of Miami Beach, the Museum of Illusions offers an interactive optical experience that is perfect for adults and children alike. Strike a pose in front of more than 40 3D illusions, or head to the “Smash It!” room, where visitors are encouraged to blow off some steam by throwing and breaking plates in a safe setting. Guests – who must be 12 or older – are provided markers to personalize three plates with whatever negative energy they want to release. Admission to the “Smash It!” room is separate from general admission to the Museum of Illusions, but combo tickets are available, as well as special VIP packages.
Address: 536 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach, FL 33139
