Go to the rotated room

Have you ever wondered what it is like to experience a world which is upside down? As the name suggests, the rotated room is designed with everything with a 90 degree rotation. You can simply play around and take some amazing pictures as a souvenir. The room here is designed to resemble a living room with a chair and table for you to play around with the amenities.

Experience the vortex tunnel

This is a tunnel with a bridge where you will feel like the bridge is rotating. In reality, you are staying still and the tunnel around you is rotating. However, you will feel like you are losing out on the balance by experiencing all that is happening. The tunnel is decorated with a lot of ultra violet stickers and paints that light up when you walk into the tunnel. As you try to gain your balance when in the tunnel, the best you can do is to experience the thrill and excitement.

Watch the kaleidoscope

You might have used a kaleidoscope, but this is where you can experience what it is like to be in one. Made with a lot of mirrors stuck next to each other, all you will see is infinite reflections. The overall look is known to be psychedelic and full of amazement. As you try to understand how there are so many reflections, we recommend observing the changing shapes and images in the tunnel.
