1 3D Trick Art Gallery, Rotorua
Prepare to see the infamous classics with a funky, out-of-the-frame twist at this fun and interactive 3D gallery. It is split into four different themes and kids will love wandering through the gallery as their perceptions are challenged with optical illusions and hyper-realistic installations. As the first 3D interactive gallery, this is one the whole family will love.
