This Mind-Bending Attraction in Davao Will Turn Your World Upside Down!

Planning a trip to Davao with your family? I’ve got a cool suggestion for you—the Upside Down House Museum. When we visited Davao, this was one of our stops right after People’s Park, and let me tell you, it’s not your typical museum experience. From the moment we walked up to the building, we knew this was going to be fun. Let me walk you through our visit, so you can plan your own adventure here!

The moment we arrived, the first thing that caught my eye was the exterior—it literally looked like an upside-down house! There’s even a car “parked” on the roof, which had Audrey laughing even before we stepped inside. I could feel the excitement bubbling as we got our tickets and prepared for what was waiting for us.

Here’s the ticket info to help you out:

  • Adults: ₱350
  • Senior Citizens: ₱300
  • Kids below 3.5 feet: Free

Not a bad deal for such a fun activity! Make sure to wear comfortable clothes since you’ll be moving around and posing in all kinds of fun ways.

What to expect inside the Upside Down Museum

The museum is divided into five themed rooms, and each one is a creative playground for photos. At first, we were a little unsure about how it all worked, but luckily, every group was assigned a guide. These guides aren’t just helpful—they’re the real MVPs! Ours patiently showed us how to pose in each room and made sure we understood the angles that would make the photos look awesome. Honestly, I felt like we had our own personal photographer and director.

In every corner of the museum, the floors, walls, and ceilings are flipped upside down. It messes with your perspective in the best way possible. One minute, you’re pretending to hang off a sofa stuck to the ceiling; the next, it looks like you’re balancing on a floating chair. The creativity behind the setups blew me away.

How to make the most of your visit

When we were inside, the guide encouraged us to really get into character for the photos. I’ll admit, I felt a little silly at first, but after seeing the shots, it all made sense. We ended up with about 15 super fun photos that had everyone laughing when we reviewed them. Trust me, the more you embrace the quirkiness, the better your photos will turn out.

Some quick tips to help you maximize your visit:

  • Wear socks. It’s a requirement to keep the floors clean, and they even provide a free pair if needed.
  • Listen to your guide. They know exactly how to pose you for the best illusions.
  • Take your time in each room. We were able to finish in about an hour, but if you want to savor the experience, you can stay for up to two hours.

Why it’s worth visiting

After visiting this museum, I genuinely felt like it brought out the inner child in me. Audrey was thrilled, and even Dee got into it by the end. It’s not every day you get to step into a space where reality is turned on its head.

I walked out of there feeling amazed at how something so simple could bring so much joy. It’s a reminder that travel isn’t just about seeing new places; it’s about making memories you’ll laugh about for years to come. And honestly? The photos alone are worth it—they’re like little treasures that capture the fun we had.
