Went there in 2000. I miss those days

There is also a room at the Museum of science, in Toronto Canada, where if you stand in ne corner, you’re a giant, in the opposite corner you become much shorter…and it’s explained that it’s all an optical illusion on the way the lines of the room was built. Our eyes perceive the room a certain way when the room is built to deceive our eyes.

I wonder how it would feel to go here when my vertigo is playing up.

Has anyone tried using a leveler to see if the area where the balls roll up is level or reversed? There’s a similar place in Santa Cruz calif called the mystery spot, that has been shown that the building was built like an optical illusion. So a simple level checking device would show that.

What a load of crap. I went there years ago. It's a slanted room.

Mystery Hill is a lot of fun! There's so many activities to do there. We just went to Mystery Hill and made a video from our trip there and would love for you guys to check it out!

I went there. It was very disappointing. There was no “gravity vortex” or anything like that. It’s just a house built sideways in a way that you can’t see any reference points or the horizon. It’s like being on a hill. Super disrespectful to Isaac Newton.

Maybe cut down on the bad comic relief. It distracts from the video, it Made the place seem annoying. Won’t be going there
