Access Card notes
Overall World of Illusions appeared the most welcoming with my daughter, not that the other attractions weren't, but they ensured she had everything she needed to access the entire attraction and the staff spoke to her and asked her if she needed anything as well as us.

Access guidance
- We are a stairs-only attraction. There are just under 100 steps to reach the top of our building, to experience the Rooftop Terrace and Camera Obscura. A hand rail is available on one side of the stair case only. Seating is available on each floor and walking stick chairs are provided on request
- There is no on-site parking. There are limited disabled parking spaces available on Johnston Terrace.
- The ladies’ toilets on floor 1 are cubicles whilst the floor 1 gents are cubicles and urinals.
- We welcome one carer free per paying visitor. Please bring along your carer status ID. Please note that we do not have staff resources to physically support you during your visit.
- "Our exhibits are mostly visual, so visitors with limited hearing can enjoy almost all the fun. We have a hearing loop at our reception and in our shop. Please set your device to the ‘T’ setting. If you are concerned you will not be able to experience all of our exhibits, please contact us in advance to discuss your requirements and reserve discounted tickets at 10% off your ticket price."
- We have several exhibits that use light, all of which are outside of the parameters that would usually cause a seizure. However, please note that these effects are highly dependent on the individual. For more information, please get in touch ahead of your visit and we can advise accordingly.
