The entire experience lasts 30 minutes, and is mostly just optical illusions in a slanted shack. If you've never been to a fun house before, then check this place out and be amazed at some of the weird occurrences this place has to offer. I chuckled when I heard that they have an identical shack conveniently placed near another gravitational...

This is a short little hike to a very strange and disorienting place. Kids and adults alike really enjoy the strange feeling you get when you enter this area.

It is really cool and fascinating. It really makes you stare in wonder. Cool! However, my balance was off for the rest of the day and I got a huge migraine and vertigo. Just couldn't get over it- even after we left and got driving. It was horrible. Sadly, I won't go back. If you don't get unbalanced easily I...

This is a cool place to visit. For the price the time you get to spend in the area is a little short, and if you get motion sick, it may make you a little woozy.

Close to Mt. Rushmore and other attractions, the kids and I really enjoyed the cabin and demonstrations. They also have an area for kids to dig up a geode and crack it open. My children thought it was so neat they were the first person to ever see the inside of their geode.

I visited the Cosmos with my 6 & 9 year old kids. We all had a great time and my son is still perplexed on how you can stand and lean away from a wall. Totally worth the visit!

Really liked the tour and the demonstrations. It's like a funhouse! Disliked that my head was dizzy and off kiter for the rest of the day. I'd definately go again.

Would go back to this place in a heartbeat. The kids and the other couple we were with didn't really want to go but were very glad they decided to go. This place will make you wonder how this place works!!!

This "attraction" is about 0.6 miles off the main road and down a dirt track. It's not very well signposted, we really had to look out for it. The tour itself lasted 20 mins, but there were only 5 of us.
Yes it's "cool" but it was only one cottage and they try to tell you it's something it's not...

This is a very different kind of attraction. The teens I took were fine with it (as was I when I was in jr. high) but I didn't feel very good while there and for awhile afterwards. I'd recommend checking into this more on-line before dumping $9.50 per person.
It is a unique oddity - your tour will last up...
