More about the Museum of 3D Illusions

Are you (or your kids!) tired of going to museums and wandering around, passively gazing at the art without being able to participate in any meaningful way?

This fabulous and incredibly fun museum is designed to be ultra interactive, with tons of opportunities for self-expression and exercising your imagination.

The more than 40 (!) 3D illusions at the museum allow visitors to pretend to be:

• Skydiving from thousands of feet above the earth
• Surfing professionally
• Hanging off the side of a San Francisco skyscraper
• Fleeing a volcanic eruption in the Bay Area
• Riding a magical flying carpet
• Relaxing on a sunny beach
• Being chased by zombies
• Flying on a giant paper airplane
• Escaping a giant shark attack
• Having your mugshot taken at Alcatraz
• Interacting with ants the size of a horse
• And more!

This is the kind of venue where you’ll want to hire a professional photographer to help capture you and your guests starring roles in the illusions for posterity.

Luckily, for an additional fee, the museum offers professional photography services as part of its rental package. That means you don’t have to go to the extra trouble of seeking out a skilled photographer for your event.

Address: 55 Jefferson Street, San Francisco, CA

Reasons you might want to rent the Museum of 3D Illusions

One of the best things about using the Museum of 3D Illusions as an event venue?

For, say, a kid’s (or adult’s!) birthday party, you won’t have to plan activities to keep your guests entertained! The museum is designed to be a participatory experience, so it comes with hours of imagination-inspiring entertainment built into the venue itself, so your guests won’t run out of things to do. That leaves you with more time, energy, and money to put toward other aspects of the event, such as catering.

But if you are concerned about having enough fun activities for guests at your event, you can add a “Smash it” experience. This is a popular attraction that involves venting excess energy by smashing various objects.

Another benefit of renting out this museum: it’s a spacious venue, measuring 3,197 square feet and with a total capacity for as many as 110 people at once. There are a total of eight rooms at the museum, two of which are extra large. This means you can plan a huge party and still have plenty of room for everyone in attendance.

The museum is also conveniently located in the center of San Francisco’s tourist zone, adjacent to Pier 39 at Fisherman’s Wharf. You’ll have plenty of access to further entertainment, gift shops, great restaurants, and other attractions that draw visitors from all around the world to the Bay Area.

Don’t forget the stunning and iconic views of San Francisco Bay, including the Bay Bridge, the Golden Gate Bridge, and Alcatraz.
