While admittedly on the pricy side in terms of admission it is definitely worth it. It's more of a family outing - with plenty of Illusions and digital trickery best suited to young kids and play spaces that would keep them occupied (and free admission for under 5's). Inside are multiple floors - each revolving around a specific theme and housing a wide assortment of optical illusions. From mirror mazes, through perspective tricks and experimental art exhibits it's a tight and focused venue that is refreshing when compared to most that can feel a bit bloated, diluted and empty - torn between too many different ideas and showcases. Your ticket allows you to exit and enter and explore at your own leisure however be aware that on buying tickets you will be allocated a time slot for a special presentation that takes place on the top floor (and is weather dependent!) that basically lets you look around the city from a nice vantage point while a tour guide teaches you more about the various locations. All in all, neither the relatively high price nor the admittedly small number of total exhibits change the fact that Camera Obscura is a recommended visit for anyone in town and one of the more interesting and unique venues you can find. Plus, it's a convenient pit stop on the way to and from the castle
