Down to the tiniest detail of the decor, the Grevin now gives the public every chance of entering into an intimate and privileged relationship with their idols of days gone by and those of today. Typically Parisian atmospheres, historical scenes or the settings of our listed heritage are essential to make the waxwork figures feel at home. « less

Had never been to a wax museum but this one is top rated. We got our pictures taken in front of some of the notables. Just the interior of the place is something to see. More

This was built for one of the world expos that Paris held. There is a hall of mirrors that is especially impressive, but you have to imagine how long ago it was created and how ground breaking it was for the times. The figures are easy to walk around, and quite good. I loved the feeling of the place and... More

My girlfriend and I went here as a break from all the busy historic sites and we had a blast. We used a Paris Pass to skip the line, which was very long. When we got in we were first treated to a very exciting light show with sound effects and moving figures. The wax figures were very life like... More

The over all museum was fun and entertaining. The wax figures were very cool and many well known famous French woman and men. A few things that I did not like: 1) only 1/10 staff spoke English 2) they wanted to charge me 7 euros for a mug that cost 4euros (the same mug in the first souvenir shop was... More

We went to Paris this weekend and had time to spare and noticed signs for the Musee Grevin. Reading a description about it, we thought, "Well, it's something different to do in Paris!" It was. Our family included 4 folks over 50, a 16 year old, and a 12 year old. Upon entering the museum, we had to wait for... More

I have visited madame tussads in New York and this wax museum is nothing compared to that! There are not many wax figures and most of the figures were french personalities which I am not aware of most of the time. It can be interesting for people who are aware of french celebrities. However the mirage show at the beginning... More

The Grevin was included on our Paris Pass so it was "free" to visit. For that it was a good value, but would not have been if we had to pay full ticket price. There were lots of French celebrities which meant nothing to us. There were enough recognizeable ones to keep everyone interested. We were able to go through... More

Get the paris pass to get priority access and beat the queues. Some of the wax figures didn't resemble the celebrities at all and were quite limited also not very child friendly as elevators were either not that accessible or hidden from sight. We only spent less than an hour at this musuem as it didn't come close to our... More

Chaos getting in but once we did it was worth the wait, nobody seemed to know what was going on and there was only 1 person on the ticket desk. Once you get in there is a brilliant light show before you enter the waxworks. Lots of opportunity to have your photo taken next to famous people,past and present, if... More

Besides the fact that this museum is overrated, overpriced and too buzzy, it stroked me how nationalistic this wax museum. For exemple, it's a good idea to show a tennis player. But icm not sure Apele mauresmo is the best choice...so typically French... More
