Forest of Illusions at Connecticut Science Center

Step into the Forest of Illusions, where every twist and turn challenges your perception. Prepare to be amazed by mind-bending optical illusions that blur the line between reality and fantasy. Dive into the interplay of color and light on the interactive light wall and navigate a pitch-black hallway that warps your sense of depth and space. Discover a new perspective peering into a human-sized kaleidoscope and explore the glowing wonders of the UV Cave, where the rocks come alive with color. This forest holds many dark secrets, each daring you to uncover the truth. One thing's for sure: you won't believe your eyes.
