We enjoyed our visit to the National Wax Museum. There was something for everyone. A trip through Irish history, science history, and folklore offered up a diverse experience. The horror part of the museum was not as scary as some which was fine with me.

Great for kids. At the start there were a few characters which included Ryan Tubridy who all the kids know from the late late toy show! At the entrance the kids had their own stair case which was fun and a real adventure. There were lots of characters that the parents knew but the kids didn’t. Which is the same in most of wax museums I guess! There was a room of lots of presidents around the world and a model of the White House - this was a real hit! There was a ‘haunted’ part that we didn’t do so we can’t comment! The famine and independence war section was brilliant and everyone loved it. Great day out for any age.

Visits to Madame Tussauds museums in different cities made me have higher expectations from a wax museum. Its good to visit if you have time in Dublin but if your time us limited I do not consider it as one of the must seen. Most interesting section the one on Ireland’s history.

I had a fun time, tons of fun little crawling sections, and i enjoyed the little horror section as well. Pleasently surprised

The best experience in Dublin. Must to wisit. Worth every penny. The chamber of horrors is the best part. Highly recommended.

Very enjoyable walk through and the combo ticket with rock and roll museum made it good value. Interesting experience and well worth doing the double.

In and out within 30 minutes, cost 18€, waxworks look nothing like who they were meant to be. Not suitable for children, a bit scary.

It's okay if you have half an hour to kill, reasonably priced and allows you to explore the history of Ireland. Alot of the interactive equipment did not work and not to be co fused with a madam tussards wax museum but a good experience otherwise

I somehow didn't see the family ticket option and bought 2 adults and 2 kids tickets at a higher price, the girl at the reception didn't inform me of this and didn't offer a refund of the difference. Its expensive, and not good value the way I booked.

Visited today, we were greeted at the desk by a well mannered and nice employee but it was all down hill from here. €55 to walk through a few rooms filled with wax celebrities. The whole thing took about 15 mins. This place is too small, lacks any audience participation, the audio visuals and lighting are terrible. Completely over priced for what it is! Should not cost more than €20 for a family. Don’t visit. This place is a rip off.

Came and played the murder mystery with my work colleagues last month and had a fantastic experience. Thank you to our host Alan for really immersing us all in the mystery and for just being the absolute gent he is. A lotta laughs and a lotta fun all round, thanks again Alan and all involved! :)

It was grand but a bit expensive for what it is. 18 euro a ticket. First floor was meh unsure if the screens where ment to work they where not so just info. Felt like it was a money trap as in the horror part there was one of the guys on a chair. To make him scream you had to pay an extra to euro. Like paying extra for some of the things to work after you paid to get in? The wax hand is cool but more money. Don't get me wrong it's nice for tourists but would be nicer if the price was not bad and things where included instead of paying extra when you're in

To summarise what there is: some random iconic figures such as the Simpsons, some historic Irish figures, a mirror maze, some jump scares and gory along the horror part... and a gift shop. Right, so, if this doesn't sound interesting to you then it might not be worth the 15 euros (or similar) per person. Having said that, after paying and moving past the first room (which offered information about amazing Irish inventions such as the stethoscope -but had an underwhelming and generic feel to it overall which was some part due to the fact we thought it was the only room) you see quite a lot and it's quite fun and interesting. The wax figures of recognisable characters are of course mildly exciting. Eyes and hair -to name a couple of features- really compared to those on human beings and it was quite creepy frankly. After passing through the main wax figure area, we then were greeted with a mirror maze which is a change of scenery and bit of fun in my opinion. Following this, we entered the horror section. If you were to tell me you didn't get scared at all I'd be skeptical. Although it was to be expected after a short time in there, characters jumping out could still give you a fright. Finally, the gift shop offered some usual tacky kids toys and also some typical touristy souvenirs -which is not bad. It was fairly varied and had some interesting items. Not much better than any other gift shop at this kind of place. All in all, I think it's worth a visit. There's some history lessons scattered around this otherwise silly bit of fun. Good trip!

If you have limited time I would not necessarily recommend to visit. But, the overall experience was good, I loved the demonstration of the history with the display set-up.
