What travelers say
Our summary of the 100 most recent reviews out of 1,287 (May 2026 – Oct 2026), collected by Viator and Tripadvisor.
Most visitors enjoy the lifelike figures and the hands-on photo stations, especially with family. The recurring catch is length: many were through in under an hour and felt the ticket was steep for that, with the paid photos adding to the sense of upselling.
What travelers love
- Convincing wax figures19 of 100 reviews
Many were struck by how real the figures look up close, including historical subjects and recent film characters, though several add that a few are less convincing.
- Interactive photo moments18 of 100 reviews
A good share liked the themed sets and activities such as the catwalk, the film scene and the painting room, and came away with lots of their own pictures.
- Easy family outing13 of 100 reviews
Several families, including grandparents and teenagers, found it a relaxed shared activity, and it is suggested as a rainy day option.
- Friendly staff10 of 100 reviews
Several mention welcoming staff, from the wax hand station to the bar halfway round.
- Wax hand souvenir6 of 100 reviews
A handful made a wax cast of their hands and rated it a highlight, particularly with children.
Where it falls short
- Short visit for the price21 of 100 reviews
Roughly a fifth say they were done in about 30 to 60 minutes, and many of them felt the ticket was poor value for that, with some comparing it unfavourably with London.
- Patchy collection12 of 100 reviews
Some found figures uneven in quality or the selection thin, and a few were let down that a star featured in the advertising was away or under repair.
- Paid photos and extras5 of 100 reviews
A few felt pushed toward buying souvenir photos, which they found pricey, and one received far fewer digital images than paid for.
Best for
- Families with children or teenagers
- Fans of film, music and celebrities
- A rainy hour near Dam Square
Maybe not for
- Visitors expecting a half-day attraction
- Those who have seen the London branch
Tips from past travelers
- Go in the morning or off-season; reviewers who did found it quiet and easy to take photos.
- Take your own photos at the sets rather than buying the package at the exit.
- Use the voucher handed out at entry for a discount on the wax hands or glass scan.
- There are no lockers, so avoid arriving with shopping bags.
