    There is no Madame Tussauds in Dublin and I don't think there ever has been. There was a wax museum but that's a hotel now.

    If you mean the wax museum it's supposed to be reopening soon beside BOI on College Green.

    Boo. It should be on the Northside, incl. tunnels.

    I think there used to be a wax figure of Madame Tussaud in the lobby. It may have been Florence Nighting gale though.

    It's not opened yet. I dropped a tourist up to foster place on monday and it's still being renovated. They said a couple of weeks more before it opens,just when the tourist seasons ends ironically.

    Don't get your hopes up, it was awful before, just some tatty project of a senator that won't let it die.

    Same as always really. If you loved it before you'll still love it.

    And yes they still have tunnels.

    Yeah. It's not astounding, but it's not bad. The tunnels are great! :D Meant for kids but grown ups can fit too. Make sure you stick your head in the bubbles in the roof - there be cool things up there!!!

    I do want to go and see the Leprechaun Museum. It's about five minutes' walk away from me, but I always think of a better thing to do - like have a bowl of cereal or look out the window. My expectations aren't high, but, I would like to tick it off my list. Is it really that bad?? It sounds atrocious!

    It's good fun. No one really looks like they're supposed to, but that's funny.

    It's very well laid out in it's new home, they use each of the old bank vaults to represent a different chapter in Irish history.

    I'm a wax museum addict and always hunt them down when I'm away and I'm pretty proud of the Dublin museum.

    they didnt have the tunnels! not the two from when I was a kid anyway. Majorly disappointed. They had ONE tunnel which was ridiculously short, it didn't even have any turns AND was lit up so you could see where you were going. I complained and was told that parents were complaining about their children getting hurt.

    What this wax museum needs is more brown signs showing you where it is, and a big tacky homemade red sign outside BoI. :rolleyes:

    leprachaun museum is well intentioned but unfortunately targeted at children and tourists.
    I was in Marley park the other day and they had a tree stump which was called a fairy tree and making a cheap mockery of the sceach.

    it contains a lot of figures from the eighties that have long passed their sell by date.
