Fun times

CLIDE_A, Feb 2026

Very entertaining there was a lot to see it provided entertainment for all generations all together it was worth the time

Good day out

Alexandra_R, Aug 2025

Good fun and handy location. Wouldn’t spend more than an hour but well worth the price. Educational also.

This Ain’t Madame Tussauds

Annie_E, Jul 2025

Many of the wax figures were downright creepy. We were somewhat disappointed in this museum after going to multiple Madame Tussaud’s locations. This is a cheap imitation. There is are some sections that are interesting and creative. Keep your expectations low and you won’t be disappointed. However some is too scary for small children.

Awesome evening!

Barbara_S, Sep 2024

My adult daughter and I really enjoyed the 3 course dinner and the atmosphere! Then we had a great time downstairs with the musicians and the dancing and so many laughs.. highly recommend.. you will not regret it!

It was excellent

Paul_M, May 2024

The experience was great just like I expected we were very happy and would recommend the wax museum as a must visit.

A fun experience, But a bit pricy.

Sonja_V, May 2023

It was a nice experience. It was smaller than we expected but we had fun. The tickets were a Little bit expensive for the things it had to offer. We went there to het Nice pictures. Unfortunately, many figures where unpossible to reach. A Little disapointing, but we had fun After al.

Viator are a rip off

majella_M, Apr 2023

Wax museum was great but was very disappointed to see that booking with you cost us €20 more than it would have if we’d gone directly

Disappointing experience

Snjeana_M, Apr 2023

The exhibits are not maintained, many things are not functional, dust everywhere, ... the whole experience is disappointing.

Day out at the wax museum

Bernie_L, Jan 2023

Loved the screen when we went up the stairs... loved all the wax works , great work went into the presentation... staff were lovely... we had great fun going through all the adventures.. the scary part and great laugh in the mirror section.. great day all round.. loved it very interesting

Great day out with kids,...

Martha_K, Nov 2022

Great day out with kids, we all enjoyed it would recommend the wax museum, spent the afternoon looking around Dublin city afterwards

Pleasant staff good...

Michael_H, Nov 2022

Pleasant staff good information not badly laid out pleasant day wax works where good but more variety wluld have been better

Not so much.

Becky_J, Sep 2022

Kind of old and crusty. Lots of Irish poets, not many relevant icons of today and just plain ol weird. Might be worth $5.

money down the drain

Lara_P, Aug 2022

small museum, with few interesting statues. maybe children like it, but it's not worth it. it is a mixture of viking, monsters, soazio and it is not clear what it wants to be.

Nicely spent hour

Mark_R, Jun 2022

Very nice u'll defo spend there around an hour of your time just mabye horror section is probably not for kids quite brutal 😀

Too expensive for what it is

Mery_R, Feb 2022

The museum was fun and there were a few interactive parts which were really great, none of them had anything to do with the wax figures hahah I would go back if it were like 15€ cheaper. It’s way too expensive for what it is.

Great experience

Julie_L, Nov 2021

Great experience loved all the history and the making the wax hand. The staff are very friendly and the wax models very realistic

RIP off

Grace_b, Aug 2020

Not very engaging staff. Total time...

Angie_B, Sep 2017

Not very engaging staff. Total time spent 30 minutes. Lighting not favorable

A FAIRE S'il PLEUT

GERALDINE_G, Aug 2024

musée à faire, mais rien à voir avec mme tussaud à londres ou paris facile à trouver, escalier à monter, pas vu d'ascenseur

Irish historical landmarks and entertainment

Sandrine_F, Nov 2023

On apprend beaucoup sur l'histoire de l'indépendance irlandaise, surtout qu'on a fait l'epic dans la foulée... c'était donc cohérent. Et puis, il y a aussi du ludique, du léger donc un bon équilibre au final.
