    Nice quick stop It is a small-medium size wax museum, I found it while I was walking from San Diego, the ticket is cheap, and it is worth spending 30-60 minutes, and continue exploring the lovely Tijuana. Note: if you love a little scare, you will love their horror/scary section.

    Do not park here! There were two cars parked to the right of the entrance and an empty spot to the left that was definitely not marked for no parking (see photo.) The manager had my car towed and then denied that it was him that had called even though the police officer showed me the communication. He obviously has a deal with the tow company. It cost me close to $100 and two days running around Tijuana to get my car back. The guy is a crook and everyone knows it even the judge immediately reduced the fine to the absolute minimum when he heard the incident was at the Wax Museum. Unfortunately they could not do the same for the tow company who is surely splitting the revenue with this creep.

    Definitely big and has variety. Wax status could be maintained a little more. Visible tape repairs and missing limbs on some. Like that they have a little bio you can read! Super affordable 1.50 US$

    (Translated by Google) I loved visiting this place one of my favorite places but if it takes a little maintenance, I do not regret having come to this place, I hope and come back soon if you come to visit this place I promise you that you will not regret it, it is one of the best places that I visited until the moment I could see my favorite characters it was incredible (Original) Me encantó visitar este lugar uno de mis lugares favoritos pero si se ocupa poquito mantenimiento, no me arrepiento de haber venido a este lugar, espero y volver pronto si vienes a visitar este lugar te prometo que no te arrepentirás, es uno de los mejores lugares que e visitado asta el momento pude ver mis personajes favoritos fue increíble

  • 1/5 Alberto Rincon L. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It is the worst wax museum I have ever visited. I was embarrassed to see his general condition This very dirty smells very bad The reality is that it is extremely neglected, full of dust. And the service does not even say: I do not recommend it. If you are Mexican and proudly live in Tijuana, like me you can feel anything but pride and if you are a visitor or foreigner you will get the wrong impression of this fabulous, incredible and fun city. (Original) Es el peor museo de cera que he visitado. Me avergonzó ver su condición general Esta muy sucio huele muy mal La realidad es que se encuentra sumamente descuidado lleno de polvo.y el servicio ni se diga: No lo recomiendo. Si eres mexicano y orgullosamente vives en Tijuana, como yo puedes sentir todo menos orgullo y si eres visitante o extranjero te llevarás una impresión errónea de ésta fabulosa, increíble y divertida ciudad.

    This is a must see of Tijuana, I have been going to Mexico since I was 5 years old and until recently I have never checked this out, five stars, definitely stop by and check it out, it is only a few minutes into Mexico if you walk across just after the pedestrian bridge.

    You definitely get your money's worth. 😉🤭 These statues are probably the rejected ones they make to get to the nice ones you see at other wax museum.

  • 3/5 Victor R. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) According to the information about the place, it was open almost daily and a day later they told us that they only attended on weekends, so it was closed when we wanted to visit on Monday. There is no public parking nearby and there are quite a few deported people so you have to be careful when you arrive. According to other comments it is neglected and on the outside it looked very dirty and neglected. (Original) Según la información del lugar estaba abierto casi diario y un día después nos comentaron que solo fines de semana atendían por lo que estaba cerrado cuando quisimos visitar en lunes. No hay estacionamiento público cercano y hay bastantes personas deportadas por lo que hay que tener cuidado al momento de llegar. Según otros comentarios esta descuidado y por fuera lucía muy sucio y desatendido.

  • 2/5 Sean E. Z. 4 years ago on Google • 128 reviews
    This place has been a fixture of Centro, Tijuana for years. There is no need to waste your time or money on this activity. It is extremely dated and while children may find the exhibits interesting, adults are likely to find them very cheesy and unimpressive. The only thing it has going for it is it’s location. Most people will likely find it boring. I don’t ever see anyone going into it, so I’m not sure how they manage to stay in operation. It definitely has seen better days.

  • 4/5 Antonio H. 5 months ago on Google • 30 reviews
    It was a cool experience. It’s definitely a fun distraction to visit. I would love to see this place get some new renovation but overall a good experience.

  • 5/5 Donald S. 1 year ago on Google • 25 reviews

(Original) Ya le hace falta una manita de gato al museo de cera. Algunas figuras ya se ven viejisimas. Retoque en general es lo que le hace falta.

    (Translated by Google) I loved going to the Wax Museum since you know the history of Tijuana and why Tijuana was named, it is impressive to see the statues very similar to the true character such as the guy from the eight, Benito Juarez, Carlos Santana, Cantinflas among others, The only thing that I do not like about the walk is to see that the wax figures are not maintained, you can see that they have too much dust and there is no cleaning in the place so it was not given the five stars. (Original) Me encanto ir al Museo de cera ya que conoces la historia de Tijuana y el porque se le dio nombre a Tijuana, es impresionante ver las estatuas muy similares al verdadero personaje como el chavo del ocho, Benito Juarez, Carlos Santana, Cantinflas entre otros, lo unico que no agrado del paseo es ver que no se le da mantenimiento a las figuras de cera, se puede ver que tienen demasiado polvo y no hay limpieza en el lugar por ello no se le dio las cinco estrellas.
