Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

  • You arrive at the museum at your booked start time. Your personal guide will welcome you at the entrance. After a short introduction, you will be ready to dive into the world of illusions. Your guide will lead you through our exhibition. They will explain the exhibits and give you tips on how to make the illusion work properly. They will also help you with the photos so that you can take home great souvenir pictures of all your friends and family.

    After about 45 to 60 minutes, you will have gone through our museum together. Now you have some time to explore the exhibits on your own.

    At the end, we will present the birthday boy or girl with a small gift bag for puzzle fun at home.

    Depending on which birthday package you have booked, you will then either go home or head over to the Vapiano restaurant or Authentikka. 

    There, a birthday table will be set for you and you will be provided with food and drinks.

  • Both children and adults. Children should be at least of school age so that they can enjoy the tour and concentrate.

    Our birthday tour is also very popular with young adults, older people and seniors. The only requirement is that you are open-minded and enjoy interactive exhibitions.

  • Our birthday tours are designed for a maximum of 15 people. For children, we recommend a smaller group of 8-10 children accompanied by two adults.

  • The museum tour lasts approx. 45–60 minutes. Afterwards, you will have 15–20 minutes for your own exploration.

    The table at Vapiano or Authentikka will be reserved for you for up to 2 hours for the meal that follows.

  • If you would like to book a birthday party, simply use our contact form. Select the date and time and tell us which package you would like and the number of people (children and adults).

    We will respond to your enquiry as quickly as possible and let you know whether the date is available and send you a non-binding offer. Once you have responded to the offer, you will receive a final confirmation. We will take care of the reservation at Vapiano or Authentikka for you.

    Now all you have to do is sit back and look forward to your birthday party.

    Tip: Our places for birthday parties are limited, so you should enquire about your desired date as early as possible, ideally around 4 weeks in advance.

  • This is not possible at our museum. Food brought from outside may not be consumed at Vapiano either. However, you are welcome to order anything you like there for an additional charge.

    If you have your own decorations or gifts, you are welcome to bring them to the restaurant.

  • If fewer people than registered take part in the visit (e.g. due to sudden illness), this is usually not a problem. Please let us know in good time so that we can adjust your booking. Here too, we make binding plans for group bookings and reserve the appropriate capacity for you. This means that if the number of people decreases drastically without us being notified in advance, we may charge cancellation fees at our discretion.

    If someone cancels spontaneously on the day of the visit, you can also notify us of this during the payment process on site. We only charge for the people who are actually present, so you will not incur any unnecessary costs.

  • You can cancel or reschedule free of charge up to two weeks before the birthday party. In the event of a last-minute cancellation without proof of a justified reason (e.g. illness), we will charge 50% of the package price. If you cancel within 24 hours of the event, a fee of 100% of the package price will be charged.
