The perfect roadside attraction, off the beaten pass, but close enough to amenities, interesting things to look at, bathroom and a sample of local tea. We visited the Grand Opening and enjoyed all of the above. Grand Opening is an art collective with some events, for example on Saturday, March 9th, 2024 from 1 – 7pm, you can experience the ๐ป๐ช๐ฐ๐
๐ซ๐ฟ๐ธ๐๐ฎ๐ฐ๐
๐ธ {๐ ๐๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ฅ๐๐๐} event, in celebration of the time change. Who could say no to a free event with food, beverages, and art?ย
If you already booked up that weekend, stop by another time and immerse yourself in the Illusion Room. You have to take off your shoes, your cellphone will be 
locked away in a box that will stay with you, then you may enter the Illusion Room. You have some time to chill and look around the room. When the bell chimes you know your time is up, but unless there are people waiting no one will force you to leave. I wonโt tell you what you will find, but I can tell you I now have a sticker advertising this place on my car!ย
It is $4 per person, stickers are $3 and youโll get an offering of tea from nearby Blue Willow Tea.ย
The art is priced to sell with nothing more than $300. But a lot for less than that.ย
You can find the Grand Opening and Illusion Room at 1220 4th St., Berkeley. Hours are Saturday and Sunday, 1 pm – 6 pm. Follow them on Instagram at @grand.opening.arts
