Guests enjoying mirror maze at Paradox Museum London.
  • In a day: Late morning or early afternoon gives enough time to enjoy exhibits without early rush or evening crowd buildup.
  • In a week: Weekdays are best, especially Tuesday to Thursday, with noticeably fewer visitors than weekends and more relaxed pacing.
  • In a year: January to March sees lighter crowds after the holiday season, offering a calmer visit compared to busy summer or December.
  • With kids: Afternoons after school hours or weekends work well, when interactive exhibits are livelier and more fun for children.
  • If you want more quiet: Arrive right at opening time on weekdays, when galleries are still quiet and you can enjoy illusions uninterrupted.
  • If you want to catch some special events: Check weekends or evenings, as the museum often schedules themed activities, workshops, or temporary installations during those times.

  • Camera angles matter: Look for small floor markers near some exhibits because these show the best spot to stand for taking illusion-perfect photos.
  • Plan for queue-free photos: The most popular rooms (like the Reverse Room) have short pauses between entries. When one group exits, you’ll have a short gap so use it for clear, people-free shots.
  • Shoes over style: Some illusions require balancing on tilted floors or standing still for timed effects. Flat, secure shoes will help you enjoy these comfortably.
  • Angle over eye level: Illusions work best from specific perspectives. Try crouching, tilting your phone, or standing off-center to capture the intended 3D effect instead of flat-looking photos.
  • Save the mind-benders for last: The Zero Gravity and Ames Room can feel slightly disorienting. Leave them until the end so you don’t rush through earlier exhibits.
  • Use burst mode: For illusions that involve movement, like levitation effects, use your phone’s burst mode; you’ll capture the precise “paradox” moment more reliably.
