Ripley's Believe It or Not / Palace of Wax Reviews

Fun for the whole family. Has a awesome wax museum.

Cheesy but fun! Some of the wax statue look quite similar to the famous people but many are not...

Been here quite a few times. Always enjoy it. Seems like I find something new everytime I go. Great place to take your family, friends, dates whatever. They have recently added a new 4d ride which is very cool. One is a zombie theme and the other is a wild West theme. Lots of fun. Also they have a great haunted house around Halloween. Very scary! Highly recommend Ripleys!

Great place .. so many sights to see.. The wax museum was beyond awesome!!!!

Just drove over an hour only to find a sign on the door that says they close at 6 PM for a private event. Should ve posted that on Google to save people the aggravation.

Took my kids to Dallas for the weekend and we stayed near this Ripley's. I really liked the one in San Antone so we gave it a shot. Paid the package to see all the attractions and kids had a blast. I was originally thinking we would spend about 2 hours there. Well we stayed for almost 5 hours. Kids enjoyed the mirror maze, oddities museum, but most of all the 7D theater. We had a blast we had to go in a few extra times. The lazer room was having issues the day we went but it was no big deal. The haunted was museum is amazing! We are not likely to go back next time we are in Dallas since we enjoyed everything but this is a must stop if you got a few hours to kill with the kids....

Most of the figures bared very little resemblance and some were worn and neec updated. Overall, we had a fairly good family outing there. The 3D theater was awesome!

Was OKAY lil over pirced but its something you'll do if your bored

I was very disappointed. The exhibits have been cut back to allow room for other things. The Laser exhibit is was a waste of money and the movie is only 5 minutes. I feel it is not worth the money. Even the kids (age 9 and 11) thought it was a waste of time. Also, it is very evil. I don't think something that markets kids should have videos on how to murder and how to shrink a head. The staff is obviously not paying attention. In the wax exhibit, someone had torn off the arm of sleeping beauty, laid it on her stomach and cut off a finger. Don't waste your time. There's a lot of fun stuff in the area that is a better value and not so over priced.

Fun for family and friends!! The scary part of the wax museum is definitely not for the faint of heart.

Very nice place, fun, family friendly. Kids loved it.

Beautiful. Especially the new 7d Cinema. My family loved it.

This is my first time here. I have lived in texas for 47 yrs and never been there. The place was cool. The people who worked here are friendly. We paid $140 for 5 people. And another $14 for souvenir pictures. But was worth it. This is a good place to bring kids. But not to fear house . We would return again.

This place is gimmicky and of standard to poor quality. The wax figures are very unrealistic. This is day three after going and I can't really remember anything enjoyable.

Loved all the information about the wierd but true :) The tunnel/rotating bridge was the best. A little overpriced .

10 / 10 got intense therapy from Dr. Phil, changed my life.

Great for a lad or lass. It's pricey, but it'll probably make memories.

Very fun, my family had a blast, lots of things to do. We almost didn't come almost. I'm glad we did.

Kids had fun they did like it. Good place to visit on a rainy day.

Because if you go to san franciso or san antonio then you see the same things over and over.

First time here & I loved it! A bit pricey but worth it, in my opinion.

So much fun! The best memories. Family fun for all ages. We used Groupon and still got the full experience of Ripley s .

A fun afternoon can be at Ripley's! Wax figures were a tad off, but comedic if nothing else. Certainly a family-friendly outing.

Lifelike stayues. Lots to see & do. Very friendly staff.

- Very good place to visit with family, friends or by yourself.
- Get their at least 1 and half hour before closing.
- Fear place is scary and takes about 7 to 10 minutes to exit. If you have kids with you do not go in unless they are super brave. Because you won t be able to anjoy with them.
- Closes at 5pm
- They do have extra small museums inside on extra charges.

Did not think I would have as much fun as I did! The scary exhibit had me and my children in tears!!

Went here one Valentine's day and it was good and pretty fun

Best place ever! They're all kinds of stuff to look at but if you're scared of clowns just avoid that part. Also in the theater room sit in the front and your gun aim is kinda off so watch it okay.

This place always amazes me it's a great place for adults and children. There is so much to see and do.

This place has gotten better over the years especially since I used to work there in the late 90's. Great place to take out of towners

The kid had fun! That's all that matters. She loved the maze and the interactive section of the odditorium but the wax museum was pretty meh. And PLEASE get Oprah right!

There wasn't much to do, and the wax figures aren't realistic. The mirror maze doesn't have a real exit because you just have to find your way back to the entrance. The 7D isn't scary and you can only win of you're sitting in the center. The gift shop is overpriced.

I didn't think it was worth it. In the mirror maze the lights would go off every few minutes for couple of seconds. Some cool stuff to look at but definitely look for coupon before you go.

Me and girls had a blast!! Will most definitely come back

To pricey for what they offer, I wouldnt go back again.

We were from out of town visiting family. My wife planned us to stop here before heading back home. Not only did the kids love it, but we loved it as well! The price was right too. It took us a couple of hours going through the whole museum but seemed like it was much faster since we were having so much fun. I highly recommend Ripleys.

Bring money, its expensive. A great half day adventure. Cool stuff to see & do. Bring a pocket full of change, quarters and pennies.

Some interesting points. Each wing takes about 45 minutes to an hour to thoroughly cover. Probably overpriced if you pay the full admission. Wax models were pretty hit and miss in likeness to their subjects. Main museum has a lot of random, interesting displays.

Fun experience, a lot of attractions, plenty of stuff for the family to do and enjoy. Crowded though. Really crowded.

was a great place to visit .. they were very clean.

Went to every attraction! The only one that probably wasn't worth it was the Lazer Run. But the other 4 we're great! 5 out of 5!

Very fun , lot of things to see and do , but very packed

This place was so much fun for our family way more than what I expected extremely exciting and just a whole lot of fun!!

Love this place and loving the new super hero exhibit

Loved this place we'r spent hours in there an still not sure we got to see it all

I loved it i went through the wax musem..AND it was AWESOME! They looked so real! Awesome place. Would recomend

So much fun for our whole family. Can easily spend four or five hrs there. Our 8 yo and 15 yo had great time.

Wax museum is very dated and not as good as Madam Tussauds. It's an interesting pitstop if you don't expect too much.

Loved this place! The scary portion was pretty cool.

There are about 5 different areas, each with their own ticketing. We went to the mirror maze, which was awesome and you can reenter as many times as you want, and the museum, which we enjoyed- it was a mix of believe it or not and science. I was worried about it being too small, but was very happy about the length and variety for what I paid for. I used groupon and took a group of 6 tween girls. They had a blast!

This place is a BLAST! A great family place for a little bit older children. Anytime I am in Dallas you can bet I am going to visit here!

Lived in GP all my life and finally went with my fam ( wife, 2yr son and 10yr stepdaughter).. Will return, very pleased fun family ent. Feeling lucky to have such attractions in good ol Grand Prairie. I travel alot and not much out there like this fun facts and activities. -(25) Rick

This place is awesome. Fun for all ages! The wax museum was amazing. I appreciate the hard work that went into this exhibit; although some of the figures did not look like the actual person, still fun though. The laser maze and the mirror maze were challenging. Need something to do this is the place to go...the absolute cure to boredom.

Bloody brilliant place, the odditorium is full of interesting displays, fun anecdotes of Ripley's adventures throughout the world, and some fun, and mildly science-y stuff. The wax museum is hit or miss but is fun. The mirror maze can be entered multiple times and is near impossible with the special glasses.

All in all a great experience and one worthy of repeating.

Much bigger than I expected. Worth spending a few hours exploring, but make sure you're up for walking around!

Kind of fun place. We only did the Odditorium and the Wax Museum. The Odditorium was kinda fun, but the wax museum was just horrendous. I've attached a few photos of a few of the worst offenders, but they were all pretty bad. I swear the Johnny Depp model had painted on facial hair. I've been to Madam Tussauds in Times Square and most of those are incredibly realistic looking. These...not so much.

This place is deceivingly large, feels like we walked for hours. The attractions were interesting and the staff was helpful. Everything a Ripleys should be.

Cool place to visit. No matter how many times I visit we have a good time ALWAYS.

Super neat and makes you stay on your toes with constant excitement and family fun.
