Wax museum was way longer then I thought it was going to be. Didnt get to see all 5 attractions because they closed earlier then advertising. But its well worth the mony!

Super fun! My family got the super combo and did it all. Took about 5 hours. Had been wanting to go since I was a kid, glad to make a childhood dream come true and enjoy it with my kids.

I just had my daughters 12th birthday party here and everyone had such a great time! The staff was extremely accomodating and super friendly. Every attraction was excellent! Great place where kids and adults had a tremendous amount of fun! Thank you Ripleys and staff for everything!

It was really cool. Took me 90 mins to go through it. I was expecting a little bit more otherwise I would have rated it 5 . I didnt go through the other attractions. The 7D movie might have been fun. Next time Im purchasing a combo package.

I didn’t go in with high expectations but I had a blast. There was so much to look at and see! We did the full pass. The only disappointment was the laser room. It’s not worth it.We probably spent 4hrs checking everything out. The wax museum had so many different displays to look at.

This was an awesome experience. Lots of things to see....including some interactive activities. Seats throughout in case you need to take a rest. I liked the gift shop too. It will take time to get through it all, but its a great experience.

Still doing the deal! This place is awesome for a date, or a day out with family/ friends. Eat before you go, or after, not much to grub on but they have drinks. Loved this place as a kid and theyre still rocking along! Will be back.

I have always been a fan of ripleys. Watching it growing up to collecting books when i was younger. Took my wife and kids and they had a blast. Very cool stuff to do and look at. Prices were reasonable. Was expecting to stay only about 2 hours. But ended up staying longer than expected because of all the stuff there was to do. I highly recommend this place. And staff was nice as well. Looking forward to going to another location in the future to see what the others have in store.

Not what I expected but it was fun. The wax figures werent that good of a likeness to the stars but it had some interesting things there... the haunted part was the best. Way too expensive!!!

Review №18

The mirror maze is so fun to go through. The wax museum, that was a fun adventure to see. I collect the smashed pennies, those machines were inside the attractions. It would be better to have them near the main entrance. I was hoping to collect more than just one. Overall, its a good time. If youve got an later flight and dont have much to do before that this is the place to go!!!

We enjoyed our visit to Ripleys. We visited the Oddities and the Wax Museum. It was very interesting to see all the strange oddities. The wax museum was entertaining to, even though a few of the wax statues need a touch up. The snack bar has too small of a selection on food and beverages (No Coke or Pepsi. Who doesnt have Coke or Pepsi?) The place is clean, including the bathrooms. Price is reasonable and the staff is friendly. We will visit again and do some of the other attractions.

This is one of those places where you can spent your entire day and you wont regret it. We had paid for 4 attractions apart from Laser attraction we have enjoyed all of them. Especially the 7D experience, it was amazing. Wax Museum, Ripley’s Facts, Mirror Maze all are amazing. In wax museum you will find marvel characters, git characters, and so many celebrities with whom you can click photos. This place is great for kids and good to host birthday parties. There is a lot parking spots available without any charge. But this is not such place where you can go again and again, but for once it is worth to try out.

Review №24

Clean, well lit, well staffed. The wax museum portion is a variety of exhibit themes. Scary, biblical, historical, Hollywood... Its a go at your own pace with plenty of photo ops. There is a well stocked gift store. Very little food opportunities but there is light fare. We did the wax hand, hoping its durable. Watch for hidden costs there. We did the interactive movie and its definitely a bumpy, realistic experience.

Review №28

It was fun...wish some things were a little different...like the candy area. And I couldnt really get the laser game but it was still fun. Theres a lot of gag gifts you can buy....which I did.My only suggestion is there should be like a little prize given or certificate you get after completion of each area or after you win 1 of the games.

Best place ever! Theyre all kinds of stuff to look at but if youre 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.

During out visit to Dallas we stopped in here for a few hours and everyone had a good time. We had a coupon so we did the 5 attractions ticket for all the things to do. This included the Wax museum, mirror maze, 7D shooting cinema, Odditorium, and a lazer maze challenge.

We really enjoyed our trip here. Oddities part was really neat and organized and well thought through. We also did the mirror maze which was a blast and challenging. We did the wax museum as well which was neat and setup was perfect however not impressed with the wax figurines. Did not look like the real celebrities at all. The “horror” part was actually pretty cool though. Overall we definitely recommend going to Ripleys.

Review №40

The Ambiance was very nice I love the animation of the place. The history museum is the cheapest its not exciting but it shows a lot about Ripleys. It was very educational and spoke a lot about the history of Ripleys. I did not get a chance to visit all of the ventures but will return another day.

Review №44

A very fun place to visit for the young and old. The mirror maze is harder than it looks! You have to try to go through the maze without touching the mirrors and coming out the exit ! I had to go through 3 times before I was able to make it all the way through! The wax museum had a plethora of famous people in wax state! Entertainers, politicians sports figures ,etc. The Odditurium was filled with incredible facts and some not so credible facts! The 7D movie theater was very fun and competitive! We had to shoot Zombies and earn points! I had a blast here and stayed almost 4 hours! A must do ,if you ever visit Grand Prairie!

Great experience. My second time coming. First time doing the mirror maze very entertaining. The museum is not that long but you can walk it at your own pace. 20 min tour plenty of interesting exhibits and kid friendly activities. Through out the tour they have a couple of arcade style games so make sure to take some singles to trade for quarters. Gift shop is nice and full of candy. I would definitely visit again.

Review №53

Fairly pleasant experience overall, the company has definitely improved the quality of the exhibits (still the same, but the store seems cleaner than my last visit a few years ago). Associates were pleasant and helpful. Decent place overall. Still too expensive though, for a cheapskate like me. Worth a visit if you have kids, as they offer gloves for anything that you have to touch (like the mirror maze).

Review №59

This was a fun place to visit, lots of things to see and do.The bad... It was unbelievably crowded while we were there. In some spots we could barely move without someone bumping into us, and it was worse with some of the kids running around. If we go back again well definitely try coming at a different time.Other than that we had a great time, the staff was friendly, and there was a little something for everyone. The odditorium has changed a little from our last visit, as well as the wax museum part. It was worth the visit!

I would defiantly recommend this place. It was fun. They have a wax museum, oddities, mirror maze, and a 7D moving theatre. We did all but the 7D moving theatre. I will say I was a little disappointed in the oddities and mirror maze, but loved the wax museum.

Omg... it was so much fun.. so much to see and do... I have 2 kids 10 year old girl and a 6 year old boy with that being said the 10 year old had a blast my son the 6 year old was terrified alot of the dark areas. But he did enjoy other parts like the mirror maze and of course the candy in the gift shop there is so much here it truly is fun for all ages.. you have to check out the bathrooms very cool...

Really cool experience! Everything was fun. Staff is pretty friendly. I feel like everything was pretty worth it except the laser race, that one was kinda boring. Its just a box with lasers and only 2 people at a time. But expect to be in here for 2-3 hours if youre planning on doing all the attrations.

This place is awesome for the younger and older generation. So much to do within the building. There is the crazy mirror maze, 4D video/ride room, the wax museum of course, a laser game that is fairly simple ( this is where you crawl and try to not break the laser beam and lastly the Ripleys historical part. They have a gift shop with goodies and souvenirs, a spot for snacks and refreshments. They also do a awesome Military Discount!

Review №73

Used a Groupon to get a great discount on admission but it only gets you into Ripley’s Believe it or not. It’s an additional $5.00 to get into each additional exhibit. All in all a good experience but i wouldn’t pay more than i did with the Groupon to go in and see the museum.

These place was such a hoot!! Way better than what I expected. Amazing ancient artifacts and very interesting items and stories. Believe it or not, I shall return here. Greetings from Tampa Florida!Very friendly staff on deck. There is many tours . There was like 4 different ones you can go to. Their wax museum included the life of Jesus which was very interesting to go through .. I would definitely recommend for a family to go. Best thing ever in my honest opinion.

Great place for family fun, something for all ages. 5 different attractions you can go into and explore. Can buy tickets to each individually or in their combos. Can seem pricey but is worth the price for the attractions you view. You can choose which attractions you go to in your combos. Plan to spend a couple hours or more if doing multiple attractions.

We went here to kill time before heading to the airport and it was only mildly entertaining, and I can think of a million better ways to spend $100. It was only enjoyable in the way that watching something absurd like sharknado would be enjoyable.It is in a cruddy area of town. Nothing surrounding it except some industrial area and sketchy looking business parks. We had to get an uber just to take us to the other side of the freeway to get some lunch.

Review №91

The wax people were great but a bit scary when you went into a room that at first you couldnt see one and then you noticed it out of the corner of your eye... Several times I would have to take a second look. The history is great. The spook house has its scary moments. Im positive all these things are what the facility planned for you to feel. It was great for a afternoon. I recommend it.

My wife and I decided to go to Ripleys the only other one we’ve gone to was one in Florida. The one here in Grand Prairie was super awesome ! They have a cool wax museum which I would like to add that some wax figures need huge work ! Some don’t look like the people at all ! However it’s a super awesome place with 5 attractions it’s definitely somewhere you could take your family! And the customer service was top notch !

I went to the wax museum here 25 yrs ago and was blown away at how lifelike all the figures were but this time not so much. Not sure why but it all looked like plastic mannequins. The believe it or not was pretty good. Prices were reasonable and We did have a good time.
