Good for a laugh
StevieIf you want hyper-realistic wax figures, look elsewhere—most celebs here look like melted mannequins. But if you want a good laugh, it’s worth a visit! The house of mirrors was surprisingly trippy, and the horror area actually delivered some genuine creeps. Go for the comedy, stay for the spooky.
Something different
JodiThis wax museum is not the best one I have been to. But it was fun for a half hour. If you’re in the area, I would go.

Kathleen MNot much there. Dirty and run down. Only went because it was included with our GoCity Pass.
Amazing Family Experience!
P.KuWe had an amazing time at the National Wax Museum Plus. The wax figures were incredibly realistic, and there were plenty of interactive exhibits to enjoy. The Star Wars section was a big hit with both the adults and the kids. The museum was well organized, clean, and the staff were friendly and helpful. It’s a fun attraction for families and anyone visiting Dublin. Highly recommended!
