Step right up for a delightfully disorienting day out at The Puzzling World of Professor Kettlestring – York’s quirkiest indoor attraction and a feast for curious minds of all ages. Whether it’s a family day out, a date with a difference, or an unusual gift for someone who loves a good brain-bender, this is where science meets silliness in spectacular style.

Hidden away on Merchantgate, this mind-boggling world is packed with hands-on exhibits, optical illusions, and sensory trickery that’ll have you laughing, gasping, and questioning reality itself. Best of all, it’s entirely indoors – so you can keep your plans, rain or shine.

Here’s just a taste of the madness that awaits:

The Tubular Trickery Chamber – Step between two giant pipes and watch as your friends appear to be sucked into a swirling vortex of chaos. It’s all an illusion of course… or is it? Perfect for photos and for confusing your social media followers.

Infinite Cognexions Kaleidoscope – Pop your head into a chamber of mirrors and be greeted by infinite versions of yourself. Philosophical? Maybe. Hilarious? Absolutely.

The Paradoxical Sideways Suite – A cosy living room where gravity takes a holiday. Walk up the walls, sit on the ceiling, and defy physics with every step. It’s the selfie spot to end all selfie spots.

The Perception Perturber Chamber – Ever fancied feeling like a giant or a pixie? In this room, perspective plays tricks on your senses — one side makes you a towering titan, the other, tiny enough to fit in your pocket.

The Enigma Chair – Sit down and watch the world warp around you as your proportions change dramatically. It’s the Professor’s favourite piece of illusionary engineering — and you’ll see why.

The Incognito Chamber – Become part of the wallpaper (literally). Disappear into patterned perfection with the help of a matching cape — a masterclass in marvellous misdirection.

The Head Havoc Parlour – Take a seat at the Professor’s dinner table, where the main course is… your head! Equal parts eerie and entertaining, this illusion is a real crowd-pleaser.

So, whether you’re shopping for an out-of-the-ordinary gift, a fun-filled York experience, or just somewhere to spend a drizzly afternoon with a dose of mischief, The Puzzling World of Professor Kettlestring delivers a mind-melting adventure from start to finish.

This voucher is for two adult tickets – perfect for partners in perplexity or a friend who loves a good optical illusion.

two night mid week coastal escape for up to 6 in robin hood’s bay (copy)A Potted History of the Life and Times of Professor Kettlestring

Step into The Puzzling World of Professor Kettlestring and explore the curious mind behind some of the most marvellously eccentric inventions of the 19th century. Here’s a glimpse into his remarkable life…

~ 1816 ~

Born in the historic city of York. Even as a child, young Kettlestring showed signs of inventive brilliance (and mischief).

~ 1824 ~

At just ten years old, he unveils his first invention – the Pocket-Clock Sneezer. Designed to sneeze on command, it caused quite a stir… and more than a few unexpected sprays!

~ 1829 ~

Travels to Merseyside to witness George Stephenson’s Rocket, sparking a lifelong fascination with machinery, motion, and marvellous mechanisms.

~ 1847 ~

Invents the Enigma Chair, an ingenious creation that continues to baffle and delight visitors to this very day.

~ 1849 ~

Designs the Perception Perturber Room, a mind-bending chamber that distorts perspective and confounds the senses — step inside if you dare!

~ 1851 ~

Unveils an extraordinary time machine. But in true Kettlestring fashion, things take an unexpected turn. After 33 years living in isolation, the Professor mysteriously disappears — leaving behind only his inventions and a trail of tantalising clues…
