The best part of this experience was the gentleman that took us to the dungeons. Funny and knowledgible. Its got about 80 sculptures upstairs but very very old displays. Unable to get up close for photos. Much prefered the one in Sydney. In saying that if you havent seen any before, great to see. We used a discount voucher to get in which saved us $21.

An Iconic Gold Coast Attraction ! The Gold Coast Wax Museum has been operating for more than 50 years !! Located on The Gold Coast Highway near Thomas Drive in Surfers Paradise. The lady at the front desk and the gent who did the Chamber of Horrors Tour were very friendly. Many exhibits from most periods of history. Certainly worth a visit.

Wow. What an interesting attraction! Fun for the whole family (except one exhibit see below). Upon payment of the ticket, we were invited inside to the general exhibits. What detail, and a brief bio for each statue, giving thier name, birth/death year (if appropriate). There were figures from ancient and modern history with a few still alive. I noted that Madam Tousaud was among the figures imortalised in wax. For those that don't already know, she started creating wax dolls as a child and once she became a young woman, was approached to create life sized statues. She became so famous she started a mobile exhibit which then became to museum today (fun fact its a museum not a wax museum as technology has made the process faster, cheaper and lighter...most modern wax figures are a plastic composite). After visiting the general exhibit we were invited downstairs....and if the exhit upstairs of frankenstien, the thing, a vampire and zombie didn't upset you...then your in for a real treat downstairs! Welcome to the house of horrors....where a journey into the depravity of the human psyche begins. If your not averse to torture and the cruel methods used by humans over the centuries ... opt OUT of the guided tour. It feature graphic depictions of torture and methods of other forms of torture....parents are warned about kids being traumatised in one particular exhibit of a device that takes out a victims intestines and wraps them on a stick. And thats just ONE example. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Very friendly helpful staff, Enjoyed walking through at own pace . Bit out dated, would be nice to see more pop stars. Enjoyed the history of it all though. Especially enjoyed the tour and hearing all about the old days with punishment etc . My daughter also very enjoyed the shared knowledge she even saw a wax figure she had learnt and studied about at school.
