The Tour Guide is thought provoking about torture and punishment in today's "civilised world. Until a few centuries ago, cities around the world had its scaffold on the market place and a gallows field at the gate. The rack below the city hall was a common method for sharp interrogation, and the executioner had a recognised trade: "The first stroke is the one that counts". Ecclesiastical lawyers devised special punishments for the exceptional crimes of witchery and heresy. The Spanish Inquisition used an elaborate range of instruments to fight against those evil works of the devil.

Don't go there. It's SO bad!! It should be renamed to the SUX MUSUEM. Genuinely feel ripped off. Cost $112 for 4 people. It started off downstairs with a 30 minute tour of various torture methods. Most people in the group walked out within 5-10 minutes. I thought this was one of the main attractions on the Gold Coast. It is not. It's just a drab, out-dated collections of dioramas made up of components that look like they were bought on Wish. Don't expect Taylor Swift or anything new or relevant. No toilet facilities either. Nearest one was across a 4 lane road. I created an account just to leave this review. If I could leave zero stars, I would.

Enjoyed watching exponates of all the famous people in the museum. Most of them look real. The torture chamber tour was impressive and informative.

The wax museum was the best, would have been great to seen a few more people. We weren't over fuss with the chamber of horrors.

Honestly terrible. The Whitney Houston model was a white Woman with blonde hair and the queen looked more like princess Fiona from shrek. Can’t believe we paid so much money for that rubbish

The famous people wax figures was ok. It's The chamber of horrors left me asking myself what the hell I had just seen? No warning given and little kids were allowed through. Really poor form.

The horror section really reminds you of how harsh punishment was back in the olden days. If you are a bit squeamish, skip it. It was interesting for the kids to see a wax museum as there aren’t many left in the world. Gave us the opportunity as a family to discuss the world figures displayed there.

A small place, not what I expected I was told the wax statues have been collected from around the world. They are not like Madame Tussaud’s but her wax figure was there 😊 The chamber of horrors is Horrific 🫣 Finding parking spot was an issue, not sure if the place has one (forgot to ask)

Had a fantastic time at the Wax Museum today. The figures are behind glass (this was explained to us very nicely by the lovely lady at the front desk) this makes it hard to get a good photo. But photos aren’t necessary. We came for the history lesson. The downstairs area is a guided medieval torture weapon display. Our guide was very informed and enthusiastic. Very happy to rate 5 stars 👍🏻
