Pretty cool

I enjoyed this a lot. It was kind of cheesy, but in a fun, good way. I especially liked the horror movie displays. Very wheelchair friendly and lots of opportunities for photos. Very small children my find it too scary. Friendly staff

Needs some attention

Displays need updating as many wouldn't recognize some of the stars from the golden age of Hollywood and needs a good cleaning, but a great place for the kids with a "air room" to play with air tubes and wind tunnel with foam balls. A...More

Worth a Visit

We spent a little longer here than Ripley's and enjoyed it quite a bit more. Still overpriced and I would certainly recommend trying to get any kind of coupon you can, but that said i would recommend this attraction along with a visit to Newport....More

terrible

This place is dingy and cramped. It is very expensive and boring. I know the guy who designed it. He was a snob.

A waste of time and money

Put your money in your pocket, drive across the bridge and go to Hatfield Marine Science Center. Better entertainment and free admission. (Donation suggested) Wax Works, Ripley's, and Undersea Gardens are overhyped and cheesy at best.

I enjoyed this, but it wasn’t a “must see.”

If you are going to see The Wax Works, you can get a three-attraction pass that will save you money. This was our third attraction and our favourite of the three. Seeing the various celebrities brought back lots of memories. If you want, you can...More

I bought a three way pass for Ripley's, Wax Works, and Undersea Garden. I think I spent around an hour or a bit more on all three combined. Wax Works was probably the most interesting in my opinion. Might be a good way to spend...More
