We could not read a price list on an official museum site that day, so the figures above come from resellers and travel guides, with their dates. Small children under 4 get in free according to most sources (our attraction page says 3: check when you book).
Tiqets or another seller?
The price gap is a few euros; what matters is the slot. The museum runs in 20-minute slots and fills up at weekends: the Tiqets ticket in the box lets you lock the time and keep the ticket on your phone. Compare with another seller's price for the same day before paying, and read the cancellation terms on the listing.
Illusions, Banksy or IKONO?
The Museum of Illusions suits families: the Ames room, a vortex tunnel, holograms and puzzles to handle, with free photos. If you like street art, the Banksy exhibition is calmer; IKONO is more sensory and costs more. Tiqets sells an IKONO plus Illusions combo at about EUR 31.82 (October 2026): only worth it if you really want both. Full page: Museo de Ilusiones.
Is a guided tour worth it?
No: the route is self-guided and the rooms explain themselves. For a family it is better to keep the budget for another outing. Ideas in Madrid with kids and what to do in Madrid when it rains.
