79 years old and still being fooled by the Professor's illusions... that's exactly what we like to hear. 👀🧩

It's always wonderful to hear that guests enjoyed the illusions, puzzles and mind-bending exhibits, but what makes us especially proud is when our team gets a mention too.

Thank you to Butterflycat1 for taking the time to leave such a lovely review after visiting with her mum on a trip to York.

One of our favourite parts?

"We'd recommend this to both young and old and it ended up being one of the highlights of our mini break."

The Puzzling World of Professor Kettlestring was designed to be enjoyed by everyone, whether you're 9 or 79, so hearing that means the world to us.

A huge thank you to everyone who visits, leaves a review and supports our wonderfully puzzling corner of York. 🧩✨
