Advantages: Cheap, Batman model was cool

Disadvantages: some models were unrealistic

I actually visited this attraction by chance while looking for something to do. It was well worth the visit though. Basically there are hundreds of waxworks models - some are excellent but others are adequate, a couple were awful and didnt look like the person they were portraying. Most are famous Irish persons although there are several foreign stars. One of the best rooms is a model of political figures including Irish PM Bertie Ahern, Bill Clinton and John Major. There is also a decent kids wax section devoted to Bart Simpson, Batman and the like. There are many sporting models as well and Irish swimmer Michelle Smith gets a place.

Okay this isn't madame tussads but there again it doesn't claim to be. It's a scaled down version but still has enough to keep you occupied for a couple of hours and obviously has an Irish bearing on the models chosen. A great addition to the museum are dark tunnels that you can crawl through. They are pitch black but you soon find your way through them.

Overall this was a fun way to fill a couple of hours and was comparatively cheap so I'd recommend it to anyone visiting Ireland.
