Story

We really enjoyed our time at this magic museum. We stopped and ate lunch in the square outside the museum. Every half hour, there was an animatronic presentation where the dragons popped their heads out the windows and looked around, breathing smoke, and smashing the railing. Inside the museum, there was a large origami display. We bought Savannah and Madilyn an origami kit as a souvenir. They had a magician perform a show for us, which was by far the best magic show on this trip. There was also a really cool illusion room where they had props mounted upside-down to the ceiling and gave us mirror glass so that it looked like everything on the ceiling was actually on the floor.
