Best Times to Visit Twist Museum

Planning a visit to Twist Museum and wondering when the best time to go is? The great thing about Twist is that the experience can feel slightly different depending on when you visit. Whether you’re coming with family, young children, as a couple or with an adults-only group, choosing the right time can help you get the most out of your visit.

Here’s our guide to the best times to visit Twist Museum depending on who you’re visiting with.

Best for Families and Kids: Visit During School Holidays

School holidays are one of the most exciting times to visit Twist Museum, especially for families looking for a memorable, screen-free day out together.

During major holiday periods such as February half term, Easter, the summer holidays, October half term and Christmas holidays, the museum features special seasonal additions designed to make the experience even more fun for children.

This includes:

• Themed decorations throughout the museum
• Special live events such as science and magic shows
• Seasonal activity trails and challenges for kids
• Holiday-themed experiences like Easter egg hunts or detective trails

These added extras turn a visit into more than just exploring illusions, creating a full holiday activity experience for families. If you’re planning a day out with children during the holidays, this is a fantastic time to visit.

However, these periods are popular, so we recommend pre-booking your tickets in advance to secure your preferred time slot.

Best for Families with Toddlers or SEND Needs: Visit Early in the Morning

If you’re visiting with toddlers, young children or children with SEND needs, the best time to visit Twist Museum is often in the morning when the museum first opens.

These earlier time slots tend to offer a calmer and more relaxed environment before the museum becomes busier later in the day. Many families find this creates a more comfortable experience for children who may benefit from quieter surroundings or a slower pace.

Morning visits can offer:

• A quieter, more spacious environment
• More freedom to explore exhibits at your own pace
• Easier access to popular rooms and photo opportunities
• A more relaxed sensory experience

Twist Museum is designed to be interactive, immersive and hands-on, and quieter morning sessions allow children to fully engage with the exhibits in a way that feels comfortable for them.

Weekday mornings outside of school holidays are often the quietest times to visit.

Best for Families with Young Children: Visit During the Week

If you’re visiting with younger children, a weekday outside of school holidays is also a great time to come.

During these quieter periods, the museum tends to be less busy, which means:

• More space for children to move around and explore
• Easier access to popular exhibits and photo spots
• A calmer environment that can feel more comfortable for younger visitors

Twist Museum is designed to be interactive and hands-on, and when it’s quieter, young explorers can take their time discovering the exhibits at their own pace.

Weekday visits are also ideal if you prefer a more relaxed experience, allowing you to enjoy the illusions without feeling rushed.

Best for Adults & Couples: Evening Slots

Twist Museum isn’t just for families, it has also been designed with adults in mind. With 80+ mind-bending exhibits, immersive installations and interactive experiences, Twist offers a unique and memorable activity for couples, friends and adults looking for something different to do in London.

For adults and couples, the evening time slots are our premium offering and often the best time to visit. During these hours:

• Visitor capacity is limited, creating a more relaxed atmosphere
• Families with young children are less likely to visit
• The museum feels more immersive, atmospheric and grown-up
• Couples and groups can enjoy the exhibits at a slower pace

Many adults choose to visit Twist in the evening as part of a date night, group outing or post-dinner activity in central London. The illusion rooms, playful installations and creative photo opportunities create a fun, conversation-starting experience that feels very different after dark.

Since Twist is located on Oxford Street, evening visits can also be easily combined with dinner, drinks, shopping or theatre plans nearby.
