1.Magic Bavaria – Museum of Fun, Photos and Illusions

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 133 reviews · from $23Our pick

Spend about 1.5 hours at Magic Bavaria, an indoor attraction in Munich’s Mona shopping center. Try more than 30 interactive photo sets, from an upside-down King’s Hall to an Oktoberfest room with a giant pretzel swing, and test your Bavarian facts with a free quiz. Bring a charged phone for pictures.

“We took some great and very funny photos. I would have liked to have had more space and the individual photo spots to be better separated—we often had other people in the pictures. And I don't think it's a museum, but rather a place to take photos.”
