Wax lot of fun!
The whole building is wheelchair accessible with ramps around & a lift which takes you to all floors. I had a free carer ticket along with my children’s entrance tickets. There is also a spacious disabled toilet available. In the basement, there is a horror section - it is advertised as recommended for 16+ … it was actually quite scary! We ran through there. Lots of different areas and people to see, we had lots of fun here
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this wonderful detailed review! We appreciate you sharing your experience of our basement horror zone — it absolutely lives up to its 16+ rating, and we totally get why you hurried through that section! It’s great you enjoyed the many themed zones and wax figures across the building. Thank you for visiting and taking the time to leave feedback. We hope to welcome you and your family back again soon! Kind regards, The Management National Wax Museum Plus

Lack luster
Bad quality throughout. The people didnt resemble the real ones. Some were even just regular mannequins in flashy outfits. Only slightly redeeming factor was the irish history part downstairs.
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 will look into the issues you have raised we appreciate your feed back as we are always trying to improve the museum. Kind Regards, The Management National Wax Museum Plus

Don’t waste your money or time
Don’t waste your money. Tourist trap, the worst wax museum I’ve been to. The wax figures are terrible and tired. Took 15 mins to walk through.

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 229 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 80 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 Cliffs of Moher, including Wild Atlantic Way and Galway, Dublin Highlights and Hidden Gems Guided Walking Tour, The Little Museum of Dublin Famous Guided Tour. 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.
