The Paradox Museum is London’s newest immersive experience. It’s described as “a world where nothing makes sense yet everything feels real.”
We got to see it before it opens to the public, so I’m going to share my honest review of Paradox Museum London. It’s very similar to the Twist Museum on Oxford Street, which I didn’t like at all (my daughter did, though). I will say that the Paradox Museum is definitely better.
There are numerous rooms filled with visual effects and optical illusions to keep you and your kids entertained for at least 90 minutes. The highlight of our visit was the zero-gravity room, which made us feel like astronauts—though it did leave me feeling quite dizzy afterward. The paradox tunnel was another favourite, offering a cool experience that made me feel almost drunk!
While I won’t sugarcoat it—the tickets are on the expensive side—considering we’re in London, high prices for immersive experiences are almost expected. Despite the cost, the Paradox Museum offers a captivating experience that I’m sure some would believe justifies the expense. Do I think it’s worth the money? Absolutely, and here’s why. Many of us plan outings solely for our kids’ enjoyment, which can be frustrating when you have to pay for everyone but don’t get any personal enjoyment. However, this experience is different. If you fully immerse yourself, you’ll find it enjoyable too. Plus, there are free lockers available, so you can drop off your bags and dive right in.
To avoid crowds, I recommend booking the earliest session possible or the last one of the day. We attended a press evening, and even with presumably limited numbers, we still had to queue for some of the experiences. I anticipate the lines will be even longer when it officially opens to the public. The zero-gravity room is definitely going to be a popular attraction.
Ticket prices are as follows: children’s tickets start at £16.50, and adult tickets start at £22. Children under 4 can enter for free.
The nearest station is Knightsbridge. If you’re driving, I found parking on Ovington Gardens, which is free after 6:30 pm. Otherwise, it can be quite pricey, with only a 2-hour limit. I paid just over £3 for 30 minutes, arriving at 6 pm.

The Paradox Museum is a fascinating and fun experience that’s definitely worth checking out if you’re in London.
