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.
