  • I wish I took more time and more pictures! I loved being in the space and imagining that I was in Harry Potter. It was a great space as an adult but even more so for children!
  • So much fun! A lot of interactive things and plenty of photo opportunities. Before we knew it 2 hours had passed!
  • One of the best HP attractions we’ve been to - immersive, fun, and well paced so as not to be too crowded. A truly magical experience!
  • Thank you for not overselling each time slot. It was wonderful to enjoy the exhibits without being too crowded.
  • Magic at play had the best parts of the London studio tour brought to Chicago. It's not just for children, it's for the kid inside of everyone. Leave your stress at the door and turn on your imagination to step onto the Quidditch pitch riding your own broom and throwing your own Quaffle. You'll get as much fun as you put into it. Imagine the escalators are the moving staircases in Hogwarts; have a conversation with the portraits on the wall; cast your charms on the creatures in the forbidden forest; race your family and friends through the hedge maze. I also appreciated the handicap accessible photo opportunities like the boat going to Hogwarts.
  • It was so much fun. My son and I enjoyed the Harry Potter experience. We took a ton of pictures and everything about this experience was amazing!!
  • Cool experience! Neat how you walk around at your own pace!!
  • Fun experience and photo ops!
  • I think that it was the best experience that I ever had, and it was really convenient that it was closer to my home and I didn’t have to go all the way to Orlando or Arizona for an experience like this. One thing that I think would be a cool thing to add is people dressed as the Harry Potter characters and animals so people can take pictures with them.
  • My family and I really enjoyed all the interactive exhibits!! My son and I are huge Harry Potter nerds and he loved seeing the magic brought to life!
  • Cute and well-done. The space was used well and the staff was fantastic.
  • Add additional staff to coat check and photo check out, otherwise it was a really awesome experience for my child!
  • The experience was absolutely magical. A must see for any Harry Potter fan, casual or die hard. Can’t wait to go back and see it again!
  • My kids and I had so much fun! It was a wonderful opportunity to have some magic in real life. Thanks for bringing this to Chicago!
  • Great experience. Would be nice if pictures weren’t an additional charge. Otherwise fun games for the kids and so many elements from the books/movies were included.
