This is a great place to pretend and have some good laughs. It also creates a lot of perspectives, especially for people who like celebrities. There is also some education here, like when you get to the Presidents hall. Compared to some other wax museums, this one has more complexion flaws. I will say that John F. Kennedy is the best and most realistic looking figure.

I thought this place was great! A little on the small side but it was fun to go through and take pictures. Plus it is free with the on and off trolley ticket! Definitely worth stopping in.

If there weren’t name tags, you wouldn’t be able to guess the majority of the characters.Saying it’s overpriced is an understatement. Full prices are outrageous for what you get.Worth only if you go with museum passes, in a cold rainy day, during school vacation week, when you want to avoid crowded places.Younger kids could only recognize some Presidents, so they had fun anyway, but the statues aren’t good. Like.. Barbie doll looks more realistic of almost all of the statues. Skin tones, hairs, even face shapes...We counted no more than five actually good waxes figures, counting the Boston Terrier at the entrance. Sorry.

My kids and I had the best time here it is so much fun the kids love taking selfies with every character they have stop look real others look very close to the real thing it is worth the money it takes around 45 to an hour to go through it depends how fast you go. Lots of fun pictures last four memories for years

Half of the wax statues didnt really look like the celebs they were based off of but they had a few that did. There was a young man in the presidents section that knew a lot of stuff. He walked around with us and gave us historical tidbits. I bought my admission ticket through city view tours which got us the harbor cruise and trolley tour too. It was a fun museum because of how comical some of the figures looked, but I wouldnt go out of my way to go back.

Went to Boston on a Family trip. Bought the two day hop on hop off trolley package that included admission to the Dreamland Wax Museum. Staff were very friendly and joked around with us. We Basically had the place to ourselves when we were there. Museum was designed well and loved that they had props throughout the museum you could use to take pictures with.

Dont purchase tickets there like I did. Because its discounted with the trolley tour package. Very impressive models, life like even when up close. The employees will take your picture with their camera and sell them to you. I only purchased 3. Very good quality. I wish they had more models. Hard to find the place on my own. Asked 3 different people for directions. Then while on the trolley tour it was pointed out.

Bright, clean, attractive place and the staff is really nice. But parking ,even on Sunday afternoon in December ,was hard to find in that area. And some of the waxworks just did not look quite right. Im a big fan of Audrey Hepburn and, well, just not quite right. But if you are in the area anyway, I would recommend it

Would like to say how thoughtful the staff here was today. We were out front photographing our bride and groom after their Boston City Hall wedding. Someone came out to let us know we could get some photos with Lady Gaga and Leonardo DiCaprio in the lobby. Before leaving they offered some coupons and said congratulations. Super kind and pleasant! Thank you!!

The Dreamland Wax Museum is a cool ace to check out. The fee is a little steep at $24.99 per Adult person, at the time of this review (July 2019), but you do get a good amount of wax figures to check out. They have ALL the presidents, nicely laid out. Very many celebrities with cool backdrops and some props you can use to take pictures with the figures. A very nice experience to have in the city.

If you get the tickets for the Hop-On Hop-Off Tour its free admission. The celebrities and notable figures are very life-like. They all may not be a true resemblance of their doppelganger but its still a good way to spend time and have fun! I would recommend it if you need something to do.

This place is great, there are so many wax figures to check out as long as information about the person. Staff is very friendly, Expedito in the front was very helpful and nice, as well as the gift shop cashier, Hector. If you are in the area this place is a must go.

It was especially fun to see this museum on Presidents day. Some of the status are very realistic and lifelike. Others are more of a resemblance. We were able to go for free when we bought a trolley bus ticket. It was a very enjoyable experience

The wax sculptures were amazingly carved and most of them were very realistic. The only thing I didn’t like was the fact that in the hall of athletes there were no female athletes! I think that this can be very discouraging to any females. But overall it was a fun experience.

This was museum was so good , it was eerie. The Snoop Dog had me turning around four times, thinking it was real. I thought Nixon was off but an art therapist ( yes they exist ) said that personal likes and dislikes affect how you view the wax people. Real hair, life size and period clothes have you starting.

Review №68

I got in for free (with purchase of Old Town Trolley ticket) and this place just wasnt impressive. 2 floors, most of the wax sculptures are way off their mark, and in a city with so much to see, this is really out of place. If you get in free, then maybe spin through in 10 minutes like I did. Otherwise, avoid it and see some of the other great sites in the area.

Dreamland is great if you have about 30min- an hour to spare. Probably not a destination but fun to see the figures and learn a bit of history. I would check groupon for a deal here. I probably wouldnt spend $30 on a ticket but with Groupon I only paid $10!

It was just okay but I had fun. Most of the wax figures look nothing like the actual person. For example, in the presidents section, Obama looks a little strained and Trump doesn’t look like him at all. Fee is kinda expensive.

Review №81

It was OK. Too many of the figures were not a good resemblance at all, most were close and only a handful were spot on. The arms, legs and hands look like they came from old department store mannequins. We have been to other wax museums so we decided to make the 60 mile trip to see this place, which added to the disappointment. I guess if we were in Boston for other reasons and stopped in, I would have felt better about it. It didnt help that I sat in traffic twice as long as the time we spent at the museum but that goes with traveling to Boston.

Massively overpriced, particularly since even some of the staff agree that many of the models dont look like the real people.
