Worth a look I guess
Cost about 40 Euros for myself and the two kids - standard price for anything these days in Ireland...… A few floors to explore - from music icons, to world leaders (the bold Donald), TV stars, Irish history and Celtic mythology - plus the dreaded horror rooms. The kids enjoyed it more or less - although to get the full value we walked back on ourselves to stretch it out a bit. I thought the Irish history section was excellent - very well laid out and informative We avoided the horror section as the kids were too scared - we had a quick peep and decided best not too! Worth a look I guess...….not brilliant, but not awful either.....better than it was years ago when I was a kid...…when it was near Parnell street, the old one.....
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your review! We are delighted to hear that you and your family enjoyed the museum. Kind regards, The Management Irish Rock 'n' Roll Museum

Underwhelming
Honestly quite underwhelming, not alot to see and the characters aren’t that great
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, we are disappointed to hear that you did not enjoy the museum as much as we would have hoped, we hope you enjoyed the rest of your visit to Dublin. Kind regards Management

LOOK-A-LIKES.... NOT
Unfortunately, this was a very disappointing tour. Most of the wax works did not look like who they were meant to be, in my and my friends opinion. I should have taken pictures, but I was so disappointed I didn't see the point.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, we are disappointed to hear that you did not enjoy the museum as much as we would have hoped, we hope you enjoyed the rest of your visit to Dublin. Kind regards Management

Enjoyable day out
I visited Wax Museum last weekend with 2 grandchildren (11 & 16), enjoyed by all, lovely staff & there is something for everyone there, however some of the models look rather different from the "real person" .
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for leaving a positive review, we are glad to hear that you and your grandchildren did enjoy the museum. Kind regards Management

Limited selection of wax works and information.
There was no accompanying printed guide or info to follow or learn more about the exhibits. It was easy to move around as not busy during my visit on late afternoon. It wasn't really what I expected, having visited other wax works. Majority seemed to focus on Irish history which I had already seen alot of, booking particularly for places known for telling Irish history. I think i was there approx 35 - 40 mins. Thought it a bit overpriced for the time I was there and didn't really gain anything from visit.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, we are disappointed to hear that you didn't enjoy the museum as much as we would have hoped, we hope you enjoyed the rest of your visit to Dublin. Kind regards Management

Why this scores 55
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Skip the Line: The National Wax Museum Admission Ticket: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dublin.
How much does Skip the Line: The National Wax Museum Admission Ticket cost?
+
Prices start at $22 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dublin usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Skip the Line: The National Wax Museum Admission Ticket take?
+
Plan for about 0.8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Dublin is not rushed.
Is Skip the Line: The National Wax Museum Admission Ticket worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 234 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Dublin, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Skip the Line: The National Wax Museum Admission Ticket?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Skip the Line: The National Wax Museum Admission Ticket suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Skip the Line: The National Wax Museum Admission Ticket?
+
Around 82 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Dublin can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Dublin and add a light layer if any part of the 0.8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Skip the Line: The National Wax Museum Admission Ticket start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Dublin within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Dublin?
+
On Outty we rank every Dublin experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Dublin to Belfast Titanic Dunluce Castle Giants Causeway Tour, Dublin to Belfast Black Cab: Dunluce Castle and Giant's Causeway, Dublin to Cliffs of Moher, including Wild Atlantic Way and Galway. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Dublin?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Dublin?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Skip the Line: The National Wax Museum Admission Ticket?
+
