The National Wax Museum Plus is an exciting interactive visitor attraction located in the heart of Dublin's city centre on Westmoreland Street.
The museum opened its new venue in April having previously being housed in the historic Foster Place.
The museum is an outstanding original visitor attraction that has been specifically designed to deliver an interactive experience that takes you on a journey through Irish cultural heritage, an enchanting children's zone of discovery, Ireland's only dedicated tribute to our top scientific inventors, a green screen video room, a fully functioning recording studio and all the exceptional life like wax work characters you can expect at the national wax museum.
The National Wax Museum Plus offers a museum experience unlike any other, whether you are young or old, a culture vulture or fun seeker, male or female, star struck or star-studded, The National Wax Museum Plus is the ultimate entertainment experience for all.
It is not just a museum of wax figures but provides a modern and interactive take on Irish history and popular culture.
It is also a lot of fun!
Family Fun
Children will enjoy loads of the pieces but there are so many little nooks and cranny's to explore - some designed specifically for little people to crawl through - but there will be a few bumps on the head as they try and navigate through the hall of mirrors.
There is also an app that can be downloaded to your Android device for a more immersive experience and a treasure hunt for the kids.
Children under five are free and there will have fun playing in the Kids World room or enjoying the colour of the Enchanted Garden.
Irish History
Meet Setanta and his wolfhound, watch out for the Viking slaying monk, witness a glimpse of the devastation of famine life, feel the tension of the 1916 Rising and meet the men and women who secured peace in Northern Ireland.
Enjoy a history lesson in Irish culture and life, from the Bronze Age right up to the Good Friday Agreement peace talks in Northern Ireland, and stand side by side some of our nation's most famous historical figures.
Chamber of Horrors
The Chamber of Horrors is for over 16s - strictly!
Children (and some adults) will not want to see some of the sets on display including Hannibal Lector, Frankenstein, an electrocution chamber and lots more gruesome exhibits.
Science & Discovery
The Science and Discovery Zone of the attraction pays homage to the dedicated Irish Inventors, engineers and scientists. Many of whom you may or may not have heard of.
Interactive touch screen technology helps bring this room to life, with real experiments and figures to examine and touch. The visitor can truly understand and appreciate the work of the many men and women who invented items which we still use to this day.
Never before have Irish scientists, inventors and engineers all been celebrated together in such a comprehensive way.
School Tours
When you are planning your forthcoming educational school tour, we’d be delighted if you would consider Dublin’s most exciting visitor attraction, The National Wax Museum Plus.

Are you about to binge watch all the Harry Potter movies?
It's a winter tradition for most, but instead you could take the Luas Express ???directly to the new #WaxStop on Westmoreland Street and take a picture with Harry, Mad Eye and friends. We even have a brand new sorting hat this year, AND we'll let you go again if you get Slytherin! ???
