- Great!!! On apprend plein de choses

Written by Martine Jouen, 10-04-2024

The reception is pleasant, the magicians are very attentive to the children's needs and they don't hesitate to answer all their questions. Yes, to be recommended.

- The world of illusions

Written by Annick TRUELLE, 24-02-2024

Absolutely! I'd like to add that, apart from the professionalism of the magicians and speakers, the atmosphere and friendliness are top-notch. I recommend this type of show. My 9-year-old grandniece extended her dream by manipulating cards and goblets as soon as she got home. I've learned that these magicians can be booked for private events.

- My grandson had a superb afternoon and was delighted!

Written by Evelyn Askolovitch, 23-02-2024

Everything went very well, and he'll be back for something other than cards!

- MEDIOCRE CHILDREN'S WORKSHOP

Written by Bernadette BARBAUT , 07-01-2024

Interesting and curious otomate museum, On the other hand, the 1h30 workshop for children was boring and lacked interest, and the curiosity of the participants was not there. For the adults, 30 minutes, too bad the magician only talked, without doing at least one magic trick! All in all, this museum is overpriced for a family!

- Good

Written by Georges Brunet, 06-01-2024

Good, Museum perfect for seniors, a little old-fashioned for our grandchildren

- The children were delighted

Written by Francoise TAROUNINE, 06-01-2024

A few too many children in the 04/01 afternoon course I've already recommended the course

- An activity for the little ones

Written by Marie GERBER, on 28-12-2023

Small museum. Friendly workshop. The show is short and aimed at children: no more than 6-7 years old.

- Five stars

Written by Eva Jossier, on 25-12-2023

I invited 2 12-year-old girls They really liked it too much, too happy with the course.

- Excellent activity: a child-friendly welcome and a wealth of explanations from the speakers that appeal to young and old alike.

Written by JFL, 12-11-2023

Perfectly organized, no ticketing problems, a warm welcome even during the busy vacation season. As artistic as it is playful and cultural.

- The magic of cards

Written by Jocelyne Lecouvreur, 06-11-2023

My grandson (12 1/2) really enjoyed the experience. The course was designed for 8-12 year-olds. However, 4 much younger children were included, obviously at the last minute. Some of them weren't very interested and disrupted the "training", which required a great deal of attention. The important thing for my magician was to ėpate his parents...

- very basic

Written by Genny Lebrun, 04-11-2023

Activity 50 € too expensive for a superficial result. No tricks really learned.

- Original afternoon

Written by JEAN LOUIS SAULNIER, 28-10-2023

Activity enjoyed by our 2 grandchildren. However, the course itself only lasts about 1? hours, not 3. The rest was devoted to the show and visit to the museum. The instructor sped up to finish on time and one of the tricks was not understood by our children. I think 2 hours would be good and sufficient.

- A great time

Written by Veronique Barriere, on 27-10-2023

The kids loved it. We adults really enjoyed the show, as did the children, and so did the history. The visit to the museum was very interesting. In short, a great afternoon for children and adults alike. Well done to all and thank you. I recommend it to all my friends
