Do young children need a ticket?

Tickets are not required for children who are ages four and younger. They can enter MOI for free!

My ticket time is 20 minutes.

Is that the lenght of my visit? No. Your visit time will vary, but plan for approximately 45 to 75 minutes. The 20 minute timeslots are arrival windows. We stagger arrival times to optimize guest experience and prevent crowding.

Is the museum wheelchair accessible?

For the most part, yes. Wheelchair users can easily enter and view most of the exhibits. We do have two immersive rooms that are not accessible due to their slanted floors. We apologize, but the nature of those rooms requires that the floors be slanted. Guests who need to bypass those rooms can easily do so.

Can I bring a stroller?

We welcome children of all ages, including infants. Strollers are permitted, but we do recommend compact or umbrella strollers.

Are group events available at MOI?

Yes! We welcome groups of all sizes and discounts are available for groups of 15 people or more. We regularly host school groups, corporate events, and private facility rentals. The Museum of Illusions Boston offers a one-of-a-kind experience that groups of all types and age ranges will enjoy!
