Why it's Wildland
5.2A collection of interactive optical illusions where familiar rooms and objects seem to break the rules of gravity and perspective.
This is not a wild landscape or a history museum; its appeal is as an unusually hands-on London attraction. More than 50 interactive exhibits include a room that appears to defy gravity and a tunnel designed to unsettle your sense of direction.

Walk through the Paradox Tunnel
Test your balance and direction in a walkthrough exhibit designed to make walking straight feel difficult.
Compare the reversed and camouflage rooms
