The Puzzling Place

1.3 miles from Low Briery · nearest town Keswick

The Puzzling Place is an indoor attraction in the centre of Keswick devoted to optical illusions, and it has been entertaining visitors since 2001. It’s a good place to spend an hour or two when the weather closes in.

Highlights include the Anti Gravity Room, an Ames Room that makes people appear to shrink and grow, a sideways room and a hologram gallery. It’s hands on and sociable, and it appeals to all ages, from young children to grandparents. Bring a camera for some fun photos.
