- Hooked_on_travel77Franklin, North Carolina3,124 contributionsAn enjoyable few hours but pricey...Even with discounts it still amounted to over $30 per person. A bit too high for our tastes but this would be another item off our list, probably never to return again. Most of the wax figures were easy to identify but some we had to read the sign as the likeness was not captured enough. Over 100 figures we believe and it certainly was a pleasant few hours. We liked being able to take photos and it was not busy at all at 3:00 during the week. That made it nice and comfortable with no rushing. Plenty of parking and no charge for that. Appeared to be a safe area with no issues noticed.Visited March 2023Written 24 March 2023
- Dangerfield8743 contributionsAwesome Time And Worth The $This was an excellent family activity. The characters in the museum were a nice variety for all ages. Make sure to get the muti pass to do all of the attractions (Zombie, mirror maze, and 5D shoot out). They were all great. We took some hilarious family photos and laughed our butts off. Go and enjoy this one.Visited April 2023Written 20 April 2023
- Brecken J1 contributionAmazing MuseumI went with my son to the Museum and the castle, and got the All access pass, which I would recommend getting, for only $40. The all access pass gets you three activities in the castle, and the Hollywood Wax Museum. The activities were thrilling and the wax museum was very interesting. Would 100% recommend this as a nice 1-2 hour activityVisited May 2023Travelled with familyWritten 29 May 2023
- Paul RFruit Cove, Florida86 contributionsBring your red carpet looks and your Hollywood smilesVisited the Wax Museum and the castle of chaos as a punt for a rainy day. We had a blast in the wax museum as they have many famous people staged with props that you can use as part of creating your memories! We had fun cheesing it up and enjoying ourselves. It is small, but the quality is good, which I think makes up for the overall size. The multi pass is definitely worth it as you get access to 3 other attractions within the castle it's worth the 7 dollars, I believe, difference in price.Visited July 2023Travelled with familyWritten 15 July 2023
- Diana B6 contributionsAnniversary tripWe had the best time here. We got the limited pass which was only $39.99 it was worth it. Every actor and musician looked just like themselves. And the zombie game was fun also we got to shoot zombies. Then we walked over to amaze of Mirrors we did the zombies first. It was ok but you don’t need to take children in there. It will scare them. The maze of mirrors was awesome and we saved the princess. All in all 5 stars. They even have gift shops.Visited July 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 30 July 2023
- kates5283Cincinnati, Ohio176 contributionsFun on a rain dayOur son, 9, hadn't been to a wax museum since he was very little and really didn't remember that one. Much to the chagrin of my husband, this is what our kiddo wanted to do. He and our daughter had so much fun posing with the figures and being silly. It was a fun way to spend a rather rainy afternoon on our trip! Some figures are definitely better than others, but you can still tell who all of them are! Definitely fun, but not something we would do every trip.Visited September 2022Written 13 August 2023
- Mona7 contributionsFun times!It’s a fun place to visit. Get ready to take lots of pictures with props provided. We had a great time. You can also get the all access package which is about $8 more which gets you the 3D game, mirror maze and horror/haunted house. Worth the price.Visited September 2023Travelled with familyWritten 7 September 2023
- Sarah S1 contributionA ton of fun!This place was amazing! A really fun time, you can pose with all the figures and there are props you can use too. The figures are really good and there was tons to see. There are additional attractions at another building on the property and the bundled price was totally fair. The photo op with King Kong was perfect, the staff was friendly as well. My family loved our visit and would go back.Visited September 2023Travelled with familyWritten 12 September 2023
- Clara W6 contributionsGreat family timeMy daughter wanted to check out the museum. We had a blast in the horror section. We “met” Jason, Michael, Ghost Face, Leather Face, Dracula, Frankenstein’s monster, Billy, Chucky with Tiffany, and most importantly Patrick Bateman. Would recommend as something different to do when in the area.Visited October 2023Travelled with familyWritten 17 October 2023

We had a wonderful experience! The wax museum was very cool - we had a blast going through and taking photos. Also, the staff was amazing! We got a free cup by reviewing the wax celebrities. My favorite was The Men in Black! The following day we used our all access pass and went to their other exhibits. The maze of mirrors was fun! You can really begin to feel lost in there. The simulation game was intense, you feel like you are really there. I was too scared to do the zombie outbreak but my boyfriend did and he said it really freaked him out and they jump scared him a few times. Overall this was definitely a stop worth taking. We appreciate the kindness of the staff they really helped our experience be 10/10. Thank you guys!!

Is the Castle of Chaos attraction at the Hollywood Wax Museum wheelchair accessible, too?
Do you have wheel chairs for handicapped or benches to sit on thru the tour
Crush
Catonsville, MD81 contributions
Wheelchair accessible, also an elevator. There were few benches throughout the experience in addition to some of the props that had benches present. Very easy to maneuver through with wheelchair and very smooth floors.

Probably not, you have to be old enough to appreciate who the actors are but all of our age group loved it and we ranged from 16 to 67.
