| - The Quick:
Don't bother unless you're in the area already, and hopefully have some sort of a discount. The (few) optical illusions will impress you, but it's ultimately overpriced and WAY too quick to get through. Might be worth it if it had more rooms and was about three times as big...
The Long:
I took my 10 year old son here this afternoon for something to do during a summer break afternoon. He loves the fun houses at the State Fair, so this seemed right up his alley. I had bought a Groupon that was $12 for two people's admission, but after experiencing the maze, $6 per person is just too much for this attraction. Also, beware: If you have a Groupon, be prepared for them to charge you sales tax on top of what you already paid for the Groupon when you get there. Who does that?! We paid $1.58 in sales tax for the two person pass. I'm pretty sure they got charged more by their credit card service company to run our card than they got from us in the transaction! (To be fair, it DOES say it on the Groupon deal now that I went back and looked for it in the fine print, but considering that that's not very common and will be something that annoys your customers when they get there, you'd think they'd make it a lot more easy to notice in the first place!)
Anyway, once you go in, you quickly walk through about three very small rooms that each have an interesting optical illusion going on. Then you go through a curtain into the maze itself. Once you make it out of the maze though, you're done. It's over. You're back in the lobby. I think it took us about five minutes to go through total. Maybe less, I'm not kidding. Technically you can go through it as many times as you want in a day, but would you? Most people won't. Maybe little kids would want to, but also know that they don't have much seating for any parents planning on waiting around while the kiddos do their thing, so don't plan on hanging out here comfortably for very long.
To be fair, the optical illusions that they do have are really good ones, which almost makes it worse. You truly want more, but are left disappointed. It was honestly a waste of my time and gas since we came from Gilbert to do it. Guess I should have Yelped it first. (And hopefully I would have figured out that the 5 star reviews are pretty suspicious!) IF you happen to already be in about a 10 minute driving range from it, and IF you get a good discount (I think you'll feel cheated at any more than $3 or $4 per person though), maybe you won't leave with a bad taste in your mouth like I and many other reviewers did. But please, please don't bother driving across town just to do this!
