    This place was a lot of fun. Not only do they have a cool wax exhibit but they also have a castle with 3 immersive themes. Beware though the zombie room is a little scary so maybe not the best for little kids. The mirror maze and interactive ride were a lot of fun. Definitely worth the money and visit if you're in Gatlinburg/pigeon forge.

    My daughter and I had so much spend a couple hours just walking around looking at every famous person. Plus their are 3 other things to do in the castle next door, if you have time to do them. They looked awesome.

    We stopped at the Hollywood Wax Museum on a whim, and honestly, we kind of regretted it for the price point. Tickets were around $32 per person, which felt a bit steep considering the overall condition of the facility. The wax figures themselves were neat to see -- several were impressively realistic -- but many showed noticeable wear or small issues that took away from the experience. The building and displays in general felt a little run down and could really use some updates. If you're a big fan of wax museums or have kids who are excited to see the figures, it might still be worth a stop. But if you're just looking for something to do in Pigeon Forge, I'd probably save your money and spend it elsewhere.

    Definitely a bit of fun was had! A little pricey for the experience and some of the wax figures could be redone but a time was had. I think it's cool that some of the staged sets have props that allow you to maximize your interaction. Some of the sets are creative to fit the scene of the singer, comedian, movie character and entertainers. My favorites were MJ, Vin Diesel, Bob Marley, Bruce Lee, Jurassic Park and Prince

    Stopped here with friends. Still fun and entertaining. The wax statues are in great shape. I like how they put props out so you can take some fun photo ops. My friends have never been here and really had a good time. The prices were reasonable and customer service was great.

    It was a fun experience and a way to pass time. We came here our first night on our trip to Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge as we were waiting for everyone else to arrive. A lot of well known celebs even those that my kids knew about. Not all figures looked like who they are supposed to be but close enough. We still had a great time and really cool to see.

    We went to Tennessee to see the wax museum. It was great. The actors they did actually looked amazing. Many more pictures and if you buy the package you get to go to the haunted house for free and they have some exciting things to do in there also

    Well it was a 4th of July weekend and my friends wife mentioned about this wax museum it was fun I do recommend spending $40 for the two exhibits because the 2nd building was a walk through horror and adventure. 4 out of 5 stars because some of the celebrity wax people did not look real like Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones. I like they had Dwayne Johnson The other building has a maze of mirrors and the zombie walk through for like a haunted house for Halloween the last one is a ride similar which is why you need to get the $40 all pass versus $31admisson other pricey that's why 4 stars

    It was fun for what it is. Some of the wax celebrities need a redo..... but the kids loved it and that's all that matters. Pricey..... very pricey

    This place was so fun!

    My boyfriend and I randomly stopped by the wax museum while visiting TN for my birthday weekend. This was a pleasant surprise addition to our trip. We had SO MUCH FUN! It was so cool to walk through the museum and see all the celebrities up close and personal. It's a pretty extensive museum too. We spent about an hour or hour and a half in there lol. It wasn't over crowded at all and you got to spend a little time at each celebrity. This was a really cool experience I genuinely enjoyed. Highly recommend!!!

    Welcome to Hollywood

    Our family had so much fun interacting with the wax figures and spent almost 2 hours here. The facility was well maintained and the sets with the statues were inviting guests to pose and interact, using available props. We enjoyed our experience and found it surprising on the actual size comparisons of some of the celebrities represented here. It certainly was worth the visit and was one of the many highlights of our trip. We had many great laughs and took lots of photos. The gift shop offers photos to purchase of you family's initial pose with King Kong upon entering. The price for the photos were some of the most reasonably priced amusement photos in the area at approximately $30ish for 3 larger photograph sheets. It was worth the investment for the memories.

    Good time with plenty to see. If you buy the all in one pass, it's a very good value. Some of the figures were pretty far off, but most looked like the real deal.

    This place was alot of fun. A nice visit for family and friends to attend. Also, they did a great job with creating a lot of the wax statues. Some still need a little work but overall it's a great place to take cute photos next to a celebrity. I would recommend if you're in the area.

It wasn't crowded when we went, which made it really easy to take our time and look around. There are a ton of cool and interesting stories and exhibits covering everything from the late 1800s all the way up to more current crimes and events. I was surprised by how much there was to see. We did the basic package with the family and, in my opinion, that was plenty. If you have younger kids, probably under 11 or 12, they may not get as much out of the museum until you get toward the end. There are some hands-on activities there, including half of a police car they can sit in and turn the lights on, drunk goggles, a police motorcycle you can sit on, and a tunnel where you can try to "escape" from jail. Overall, just a really cool place. I'm sure there was stuff I missed even after spending 2.5 hours there. I would definitely go back and do it again!

I was worried that there wouldn't be any new exhibits but I was surprised and happy to find the opposite to be true. They have definitely expanded and updated since my last visit. If you enjoy true crime and/or history this is a great spot to visit. On the crime side of things they have a wide range of crimes-not just serial killers or murder. (They do have a Ted Bundy VW beetle and 2 John Wayne Gacy clown costumes on display). They also have areas for financial crimes, etc. History wise they start off in medieval era, then the Wild West, mafia to present day. Nice exhibit on 911. Interactive exhibits too, like DUI and autopsy. Well worth the price of admission to me. Easily a couple hours of stuff to do. Especially nice on a rainy day!

It was so crowded we could not in any way see the museum before our time for dinner. Our only problem was the museum allowed....I do not know how many to do a museum only tour at the same time as the at least 150 people to enter for the dinner experience. It was a huge cluster of people. My opinion is the dinner tour should be held alone without the tour only group. That aside, the dinner was delicious and the crew actors portraying the Titanic crew were amazing. We had an amazing view of what happened that evening and the actors portraying the sinking truly gave us an evening of the heart of all those on board. The beauty. The tragedy. The sadness of the loss. Most importantly is this Museum keeps all the people on board of this vessel alive forever for each and every one of us. It was an unforgettable evening. I hope the museum will rethink how the do the dinner and tour. They need to make this part private for the dinner passengers. It was too crowded.

From the moment you arrive and see the massive ship replica, you can tell this is something special. The exterior alone is stunning and immediately sets the tone for what's inside. As soon as you walk in, you're given a boarding pass with the name of a real passenger or crew member, which adds a deeply personal and immersive element to the visit. Throughout the museum, you follow their journey, and by the end, you find out their fate--it's a powerful and emotional touch that really connects you to the history. The exhibits are extremely well done and very interactive. You're not just looking at displays--you're experiencing them. From touching a real iceberg to feeling the sloping decks that simulate the ship's final moments, everything is designed to help you understand what it was like on board. The attention to detail is incredible, with beautifully recreated rooms like the Grand Staircase that make you feel like you've stepped back in time. The museum does an amazing job of balancing education and emotion. There's so much history to learn, with real artifacts, detailed information, and stories about passengers and crew that bring everything to life. It's clear that a lot of care and respect went into telling the story of Titanic in a meaningful way. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate, which made the experience even better. The entire facility was clean, well-organized, and easy to navigate, allowing you to take your time and fully enjoy each part of the museum. Overall, this is an unforgettable experience that goes far beyond a typical museum visit. Whether you're a Titanic enthusiast or just looking for something unique and meaningful to do, this is an absolute must-visit. I would highly recommend it to anyone--definitely a five-star experience.

What else? There are old-school video games to play, Big Foot exhibits to explore, skee-ball and basketballs to shoot in the game area, a giant white ball pit to jump into, and lots more. This is a very hands-on, interactive museum. I highly recommend Beyond the Lens for families with older kids. Sometimes, it can be hard to find things that older kids will like. But older kids will like this place! And it's also suitable for younger kids, too, so the whole family can enjoy.

So you're either all in, or you're like my grumpy self: wondering when you can leave, and wondering why your soup is being poured into your bowl from a foil-lined Tupperware container like you're serving time in a penitentiary. This show is bananas. I had no idea what was going on at any point. Don't ask me about the plot. All I know is that there were bison, and people riding horses, and people waving flags, and at some point there was a big boom and some flashing lights. It's a show, for sure. It's something to watch while you eat. The food is fine. You get a lot of it! This is a prix fixe menu, so I don't believe you can pick what you want. You get what you get and you don't throw a fit, basically. You get a whole game hen, for crying out loud. Contrary to what some people think, you are not forced to eat with your hands here. You are provided with forks and spoons. But the game hen is something that you can tuck into with your hands, if you wanted to. You also get soup (poured from the aforementioned foil-lined Tupperware pitcher), a biscuit, mashed potatoes, pulled pork, corn on the cob, and a dessert, which was some sort of vanilla and chocolate coconut cake. It's a lot of food. A beverage is included with the meal, but if you want an alcoholic beverage, then that's a separate charge. I got a glass of red wine, because there was no way that I was going through this experience completely sober. I am not the audience for Dolly Parton's Stampede, but I'm glad I visited.
