Reviews of Dreamland Wax Museum (Museum)

Kevin James

I want thank Tuezdae so much for the opportunity and the experience of being a wonderful host. Her warm greeting of welcoming my family and I. My family and I enjoy wonderful conversations with her. We learned about diversity among Bostonian and tourism and I will love to come back to the Wax Museum. Such a great wonderful, magnificent experience. We will be back really soon. Thank you so much.

OMG!!!!! THIS WAS AN AMAZING MUSEUM. FROM MRS. JAY? TO THE PHOTOGRAPHERS AWESOME EXPERIENCE!!! I HATE MASCOTS, CLOWNS AND MANNEQUINS SO TO DO THIS ALONE WAS "HUGE". HAPPY I DID!

Paul Falzone Jr.

The wax models do not look very realistic, and the fact that they had signs that say impeach our president and he’s not my president when being able to tale a photo with the current president, President Trump was very disgraceful. I will not come back to this place again and not recommend it either.

Some we're good renditions, but many seemed way off.

Melanie Pinkerton

It was fun being able to pose with the figures

Tatiana de Camargo Gontscharow

Amazing experience!

Carrie Boo

Very neat place! The wax is so lifelike it's almost spooky!

tt 1611

We liked but resemblance of some of the figures was meh...

A Tee

Nice little tourist spot! Tickets weren't too expensive and they have lots of deals on their website. You walk through at your leisure, and can pay for photos or take your own for most figures. It was interactive with props for taking photos as well. We had a fun time!

Ashley Honeycutt

Cool celebrity wax statues

Alycia Lennners

Great Wax Figures!! Awesome props to take photos with!! Great staff!!

Alejandra Arreguin

It’s good. I think they need a little more people wax though.

Robert Lageyre

Great place to visit.

Salem Alameri

I am not sure if the wax sculptures' dimensions are realistic.

Jerome Sunga

The museum looks amazing!! our Cashier Expedito is very helpful and nice!

David Quirk

I bought trolley tickets that included a free wax museum visit. Lady at front counter accused me of having forged tickets because stubs were separated by trolley staff. Employees at this attraction all seemed to be lethargic and unfriendly at best. Wax figures could have been done better by a blind drunk person as more than half of the figures looked nothing like the real people. Kennedy, Reagan, Obama, Trump all looked nothing like the real thing. Figures from 200 years ago had better likenesses than people still alive. Save your money for Madame Tussaud’s.

Danni Dietrich

Very cool place!

Rene Koch

Really poor wax dolls

lesley stones

Massively overpriced, particularly since even some of the staff agree that many of the models don't look like the real people. Seriously - I've only seen Obama on TV, but I wouldn't have recognised him from his statue! Very disappointing, even though I had a free ticket thanks to the Old Town Trolley T0ur.

I got in for free (with purchase of Old Town Trolley ticket) and this place just wasn't 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.

Jed Reitler

Augmented reality, scavenger hunt, live music, and endless selfies - love it!

Tatiana Ospina

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.

Lauren Stevens

We got in free with a library pass and it was so much fun. One thing we wish we would have realized is that there are props beside the wax figures you can play with and use for picture taking.

Neil Fernandes

Okayish. Nothing too great. Some of the figures really life like and the rest one goes like this is dumb

CoinSearcher#2

Very cool place!!!! I enjoyed it and my 12, 10 & 2yr old girls also loved it. A must see if in Boston, MA

Michael Hall

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

Rebecca Vorwald

Really fun place!!! And it was free with my purchased trolley tour ticket!!!

Kathy Lavoie

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

Benjamin Rosenthal

OK, but needs much more Conan and much less Whoopi. The wax gets a little melty in the summer. I'd probably give them 4 stars if they had more Conan.

Caroline El Khoury

The work on the statues is really average. Most of them do not resemble the actual person. These are the best.

Ervis Domi

I had a wonderful time thanks to shavell Shavell

Lucas Randazzo

Some good and some not so

Christon Carney

Very interesting business structure. I found it fun and the was figures convincing. The staff were kind and held smiles, however, it was strangely slep quiet and staff seemed rather bored.

Jian Liu

Good place for kids and adults. Buy tickets online will save you $$$

tomlew55

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 didn't help that I sat in traffic twice as long as the time we spent at the museum but that goes with traveling to Boston.

Mario_Zombie Videos

Price is high and museum is not that large but it's decent.

Natalie VanDusen

Thankfully, I had a pass from the library so I didn't have to pay the outrageously high entrance fee (DEFINITELY not worth $25/person!). I agree with other reviewers that some of the figures were good otheres weren't. It was fun to do once but I will most likely not be back.

Rabab Bilgrami

Friendly stuff and fun learning place about popular people

Jeff Glidden

Not very realistic figures

Drew Helm

The wax figures are so life like!

tim sheehy

Lots of fun! Caren is a great host!

Boris Reid

Pretty small museum but quite nice. Free for those who bought Hop On Hop Off Trolley tour.

Linda B

This is a fun thing to do when you're just walking around. Mom and I enjoyed it although some of the figures weren't up to par with the rest.

Erin Masson

It was a very cool museum with lots to look at

Leah Giacalone

Best cool

Joseph Colarusso

It's OK... Something to do while in Boston...

Ilea Casas

Best wax museum out there!!! So cool that you can take pics with all the sculptures, not many places let you do that. During checkout at the end of walking through the museum, there was the sweetest, friendliest woman!!!! Thank you for everything Laryssa!!!

Bryce Noel

This was a very amazing museum! They had all of my favorite figures from Trump to Messi! It was like a dream come true! Hector was awesome!

David Tran

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.

Michael Chiodo

took my family to the wax museum yesterday and got some super cool pictures at the oval office from a very nice gentleman Victor and then Aaron was very polite and sold me them. 10/10 recommended soooo lifelike that it was creepy but soo cool to see. Definitely will come back.

Shanel Frazier

Great experience! Visiting Boston with my mom and sister. You must visit.

Vincent Terranova

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.

Kendall Austin Stulce

I have great admiration for the artistry involved in creating wax figures and have seen some wonderful ones in the past. Today we thought we'd check out this museum. It's summer in Boston, and it was hot inside the building. We joked that the poor wax figures were sweating. Some of the figures were really spot-on in the likeness. Others couldn't have been worse. For the price, you will be very disappointed.

Tyler F.

The statues are realistic-looking and nicely built. Workers get a little mad when you get an inch closer to the wax figures. Great place, just stay away from the statues.

normel toney

The wax figures looked real and was the actual hight

Kevin Najdzien

He’s hot

Barbara Yakacki

Allyson was awesome. Everyone was so nice we had a great time

Karen Kenyon

The majority of the wax figures here are HORRIBLE, to the point of being hilarious. That is NOT what Paul Pierce looks like, or Madonna or Tom Brady, it is laughable, which was the reason for my visit so it still gets 3 stars. It is also very overpriced for what it is.

Kylie Stupalski

Leo looks so real and shavell is a great help when going to the museum!! ...shavell

K. PEREZ

Its ok. Very small. Not that impressive. Afew people there i did like a whole room only of previous presidents.

Maria Silva

I went to the museum today and it was a great experience! Lovely ladies at the photo stations Laryssa and Cintia keep up the good work.

David W. Vire

Good overall experience, however some of the likenesses are off.

Greater Than Zero

I mean, it's a wax museum. So, if you're into wax museums, you'll probably enjoy yourself at this one. They've cultivated a very clean, comfortable space. Many of the figures are extremely uncanny in their resemblance to the actual people. However, there are a few swings and misses as well. A bit pricey for what it is, but consistent with neighborhood.

Leonie Wallace

A very good replica of Brad Pitt and Leonardo Dicaprio Shavell

Luke White

The museum was very nice and the service was pretty good. I liked that the staff were respectful and stayed out of the way while we toured the museum. The visit was very memorable and I would definitely visit again.

Ed Rumley

What's strange about this place is i can only assume the owner did an ebay / Alibaba search for "Famous Wax Works Dolls" and bought them all from different suppliers because the quality varied enormously. JFK looked stunningly real but some of the models looks exceptionally fake. It was 45 minutes of entertainment and chuckles on a rainy day in Boston.

Tony Modano

The museum was fantastic and the cashier was very helpful

Michelle Zannini

It was fun.

Emilia Ibañez

It's fun, but not worthy the 25 US Dollar. Is a 2 stories building, they have 2 restrooms, and a lot of "statues" very interesting but is in one of the most cool cities, it's not worthy

Tim Richards

Super lifelike. Free admission with old town tours

kianna darrow

Great customer service. Shavell was an amazing host! Very friendly,welcoming, and helpful.

philamiester

Had an amazing time and a super helpful staff member Expedito made the experience amazing with his kindness. Would recommend to bring the family and friends.

Heather C

I had fun! I love was museums, and it's nice to have one in Boston featuring Boston sports figures! Great museum!

Skylar Hoyle

Caren was super inviting and I loved seeing my favorite actors realistically!

Eric Cephas

Great opportunity and lots of fun to take pictures with some really close facsimiles of presidents, celebrities, athletes, moguls, etc. My 4 year old enjoyed posing next to some of my favorite icons.

Chris Conner

It was fun!

Emma Sweeten

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 wouldn't spend $30 on a ticket but with Groupon I only paid $10!

pj fitz

How do you have a wax museum of Boston’s greatest without Conan? No, Whoopi Goldberg is not the same thing. She’s not even from Boston.

Renata Daouly

Great staff! Everything is awesome!!!

Elizibith Cooper

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.

Stephane Delmonte

Very small but they have an exposition on all the 45 US presidents which is cool

Mark Miller

Good place to kill 30 minutes on a rainy day

Nathan R

Great wax museum and enjoyed going through it.

Sean Chari

Leo looks awesome SHAVELL

Kim Hendricks

It was fun, nice experience to see the various wax statues. Most of the wax figures looked like what the actual people look like.

Dave Weiler

Very cool

Yanni Lafazanos

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 president's, 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.

ANDRES ISAAC

Excellent place to visit.

Fritz Ceriales

Nice area to explore and take selfies with celebrities, athletes, historical figures and U.S. Presidents. Downloaded the Dreamland app for a more interactive experience and search for the 3D spots to get points. If you find them all, you get enough points for a free ticket!

Diane Oconnor

I just loved it.. Took a picture with Larry Bird..

Scott Feldkamp

It's interesting to see the difference in quality between figures. Some are great some are not.

Mark Bratter

Great little wax museum. Not as big as some I've been to on the past but fun nonetheless.

Abhay Saini

Beautiful, sparsely populated place to give a short glimpse or everything American and everything iconic.

Chin Chilla

Half of the wax statues didn't really look like the celebs they were based off of but they had a few that did. There was a young man in the president's 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 wouldn't go out of my way to go back.

Sita Gopal

Very good museum except Gandhijis statue.

Bill Walker

It was included with the Trolly tour and was good.

Alicia Garcia

They actually have all the president's. This was awesome

Michael March

Not all wax statues were made equally, some were very well done. But there was a white house, oval office with trump in there, that had a sign. Not my president. Seemed an odd place to protest against the running government.

Paul McArtor

Fun place. Free with trolley ticket. About 25% of the figures didn't look like the people

Mary Rossi

It was a fun time

valerie morin

Very fun and interesting. Wonderful staff and Larissa in the gift shop was extremely helpful.

Erica Gonzalez

We had a great experience and the waz figures were awesome!

Marissa Cabrera

The wax museum was a free outing as part of our trolley tour, and it was such a great start to our tour of Boston! Has lots of famous pop culture and historical figures. A great pit stop to enjoy Boston!

mario lopez

Nice museum with all the Presidents and most famous singers of the U.S.A.

Evelyn DeRosa

A bit expensive. Many figures are " artist" renditions which means they don't look quite right. President suite was nice, but im not sure I would know what most of them looked like.

Rosey Jane Trahan

Super fun!

Nathan Mannett

A lot of statues... But not the best.. Had to check the names to see who alot of them were.

michael clark

3 year olds could make a better job

Hien Nguyen

A decent wax museum. Different that others I've seen because it features historical figures more than celebrity. And Boston sport stars are a plus. However, the price is quite high. Worth it only if you can get a discount.

Mavery

Some are good but some aren't. However the lifelikeness and price makes it worth it.

Danny McCaslin

Do not try to remove Woodrow Wilson's pants. They frown on that and your family will hang their heads in shame.

Francois Michaud

Half of them look realistic.

JOSE EFFIO

Very nice wax museum

Kelly Parker Broker/Realtor

Kelly Parker: Creepy Fun Brad Pit didn't look like Brad Pid

Lisa Katz

It's small and expensive but the figures are remarkable so it depends what you're looking for. My 5 year old was scared at first because it's a little creepy. It's better for teens and older who can appreciate the historical and pop figures.

chevy 1of1

Awesome wax figures good service wonderful place

Vickie Wilson

Was a fun time!

Lady Dee

Nice exhibit fabulous staff

El Magnifico

Interesting...but exhibits could be more realistic...

Jerry Lashway

Had a really fun time!

Dawn Windheuser

Small but entertaining

dimaris Villegas Fermaintt

The Wax figure looks really real!!! ... Shavell

e harmon

This place was very interesting

Keith Tharp

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!!

Luis Jeancarlo Obregon

very good

Cam Goneau

place was great. expedito was very good help at the front desk. very kind young man

Brianna Desimone

The wax museum was great! There was many wax figures to see! Expedito was very helpful and polite! I would definitely come here again!!

Frances Gruver

Typical wax museum. All presidents with info on them is there. Enjoyed the other popular figures also. Only disappointing feature was "no photography" in oval office and never shown pic taken of us at beginning of the tour.

Ed Clark

Hall of Presidents is cool. The app is neat.

Tracy Kratzer

Neat place. I wasn't sure who some of the figures were without looking at the name plates...

Sue MisoSoup

For a place that recently opened. It was fun! The staff were so friendly and knowledgeable. I can’t wait until they add more. I really liked it.

Kevron Jimerson

Nice exhibit but not that much content. JFK and US forefathers were very good.

Lindy Weygand

It was a pretty cool place to go. Has only been open a year and the staff was great. We went on a Sunday night and it really wasn't horribly busy. My favorite was for sure was Miley.

walter metcalfe

A bit basic but the hall of Presidentsvwas good Free if you rode the right trolley

luciana krummennauer

look really real Shavell

Sandy E

Free with a trolly ticket. The staff was very friendly and polite

Ashley Blair

This place was amazing!! I've never been to a wax museum. It was very cool!! And I found an admission coupon online; 50% off! Definitely worth it!

Leonardo Ramos

I like the place , especially the Hall with all Presidents of United States. very interesting!

Nathan Oldakowski

I went here alone on an off day when it was raining. There weren't many people in the museum itself which made it so incredibly creepy. I read a plaque inside that said that each wax figure takes months of research and work to complete, and I think that must be some bs because most of the figures do not look remotely like who they are supposed to. The Michael Jackson and the Queen were good, but really the only show stoppers here. The hall of presidents is weirdly laid out so they aren't in order in part of it, which really bothered me. I found myself going back and forth trying to figure out who was actually next. It was made more difficult by the lack of resemblence the figures have to their real life counterparts. Would not recommend, not worth the money and the time.

Judy Valentin

Brad Pitt is real enough looking that I’m actually afraid to look at him any longer. That’s how similar the wax replicas look like! Yasss! Thanks for Shavell for being a great wax museum host today!

Christiane Gygax

Great. Every President of the US, some more look alike, some less, the Queen very good.interaktive px possibel. The oval office, very nice. Good place to be in bad weather.

yesuraj branger

Loved the collection.... Nostalgia architecture best.... Great place to spend quality time....recommend it for all.

Eric Blaisdell

Some of the figures looked nothong like the people they were supposed to be. Loke miley cyrus looked like wilson philips. However alot of them looked identical. Whoopi gold berg. Snoop dog. Michael jackson etc....its a place to definetly see at leadt once

R L

I went with my husband and my son. We loved it. The wax figures are very cool. I definitely recommend going.

Lori Moye

Fun day in Boston with a stop at the wax museum. Great photo ops with some of your favorites.

Hari Ganesh Mani

Excited to see such a great display in Boston. It has great collection. Hope they will add more to it.

Kaushik Bandyopadhyay

Nice wax museum with wax idol of all US Presidents

Lynn Hayashi

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.

Miles Schumacher

Nine display. Oveo 100 figures. All the of the presidents.

Chuck Talbot

Presidential display was very interesting and informative. They do need to proofread their descriptions. Noticed spelling and grammar errors.

Michael Michaelson

Honestly without knowing or recognizing the clothing on the figures it's hard to recognize the figure. Most faces didn't represent the actual historical person. I wouldn't recommend wasting your money there.

Sonic Vamp

Very interesting. Some wax figures are spot on. Had a blast visiting.

Brandy Hayes

We had a great time. Definitely recommend!!!

Frannie

Okay place to visit, not a show stopper though.any of the wax pieces look great, others not so much. Fun to wander and take pics, but not a "must do" attraction.

Andiele Jeremias

Larissa is the best ever ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Tom Novak

Don't 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.

Amr Abdelfattah

Nice place, nice staff and very friendly

Kyler

This was a great experience! Learned so many facts about the people on display there.
