Cosmos Museum in Warsaw – best attractions
1. A pool filled to the brim with balls
In our opinion, this is the most photogenic place in the entire Cosmos. Colors are very girly, but as you can see in the photo below, adult men also look great in it (and not only those in pink shorts). You can organize here both an Instagram session and a big battle with plastic balls. You are only limited by your own imagination.
2. Vortex Tunnel
When we enter the Vortex Tunnel, we feel like visiting an amusement park. Or like laundry that has entered spin mode. Inside this ‘swirling corridor’ you can lose your sense of gravity. One thing is for sure: this attraction will turn your head around.
3. Dark Knight
Here is the darkest exhibit (that’s why we called it the Dark Knight). In our humble opinion, David Copperfield was involved in this installation. Why? Believe it or not, there is actually a human sitting on the chair below (yes, that’s Patryk). He appears and disappears in photos or videos depending on the lighting. If you don’t believe the photo, be sure to check out our video from Cosmos.
4. Inverted room
You don’t have to be particularly athletic, stretched or tall to effortlessly touch the ceiling, wall and desk with your limbs at the same time. More than good condition, you will need the ability to edit photos. Important! Do not try to do such acrobatics at home.
5. Magic chair
That’s nothing more than playing with perspective. At first glance, you probably think that we have made Patryk smaller. Or that we stole a giant stool from Godzilla’s dining room. Nothing more wrong. You only need to look closely at the photo to see that the legs of the chair are not connected to the seat.
6. Mirror hall full of lights
Since we’re in Cosmos, constellations are very welcome. Or at least their imitation in the form of a mirrored corridor with thousands of lamps. This design of the room gives the impression that we’re in a sky illuminated by millions of stars. Spoiler alert: the colors of the lights change, so you can take many different photos.
7. Mirror room
This is a place where you can look at yourself from the best side. (You choose which one.) It works like a maze, and the less experienced can be a little disoriented. Believe it or not, it’s not easy to get out of this labyrinth the first time around. You must also be careful not to collide with yourself in your search for a path.
8. Inconspicuous white room
Was Patryk in one of those famous white rooms with doors without handles? Or is he just falling down an endless tunnel? None of these things. He simply locked himself in a room where the right play of lights and mirrors gave him the opportunity to take a unique photo. And even more unusual video.
9. Sandbox with contour lines
Playing in the Cosmos sandbox is probably the most relaxing attraction for body and soul. By pouring sand, forming hills or digging holes, you can create your own planet. You decide for yourself where the seas and lands will appear and what the terrain will be like. Colorful lights and contour lines will help you in the creative process.
10. Levitating balls
Do you want to know how white balls flutter happily in the air? Well, the whole attraction is that a stream of air directed upwards with the right power comes out of narrow vertical tubes. If we put (most likely) polystyrene balls at the right height, they will float carelessly in the air. Be careful, because it’s really addictive fun.

Cosmos Museum Warsaw – reviews
- Patrix – 6/10. The Cosmos Museum is pretty cool. You will spend a nice time in it and take cool photos for Instagram. If you like optical illusions, this is also definitely a place for you! However, you must know that many places at a similar price offer a slightly better experience and more exhibits, e.g. the Museum World of Illusion in Warsaw.
- Wiolczix – 8/10. We have already visited several places of this type and each one is absolutely fabulous. Of course, many attractions are repeated, but they’re still magical. It seems to me that the Cosmos Museum is the most Instagrammable and ‘photogenic’ of all, but I leave it to your judgment. My three favorite places are: mirror hall full of lights, mirror room and the pool with pink balls.
