Visited here while on holiday recently - certainly worth a visit. Was a good laugh and got some great photos to show back home. Not a very big place but certainly lots to keep you puzzled by. Very reasonably priced. Would deff recommend a visit.

If you are stuck for something to do, or it is raining, it would be worth visiting this little place. Children will enjoy the many simple puzzles. Worth a look

Went two days ago. Definitely a place to suit all ages! Spent an hour and a half wandering around and engaging with the puzzles. £3.75 is nothing compared to the fun you can have in this place. If you time to burn its well worth a visit

An exact replica of the one in Edinburgh? It has no connection with the Camera Obscura in Edinburgh, and is nothing like it!

Cheap entry fee at only £3.75, so if your on a tight budget I would highly recommend this place. Fun, well informed and had a wide range of things to see. The anti gravity room is worth a see although I couldn't stay in there for long as I started to feel sick, but it was great fun to see....

Heavy rain in Kesick so we headed for the Puzzling Place, its not easy to find situated between a couple of shops, and because it was raining it was packed inside. Reasonable admission charge (just over £11 for the three of us), loads to see, and a gret shop, recormended

This is a great find. Perhaps the ideal time to go is when it's raining because there is so much to do out of doors in Keswick if the weather is fine BUT this place is worth a visit on its own merit regardless of the state of the weather.
There are a large number of fairly common puzzles but...

Was pleasantly surprised by this little museum. It had a fantastic range of illusions, with very detailed explanations of how they happened. Not at all expensive, and perfect for children of all ages, along with their accompanying parents. Also good collection of holographic prints.

The Puzzling Place is a little gem hidden away in the back streets of Keswick. It cost under £12 for 4 of us and we were in there for nearly 2 hours.
The children really enjoyed looking at all the illusions and the anti-gravity room is worth the trip alone. The shop area has loads of puzzles for you to...
