So fun! I can’t believe I never made it there before I left

The statue of Bono looked creepily life-like.

Hi Alma,

Thank you for your question. As for me personally, with this experience, I did not pay for all the tickets for this experience. As a reviewer I have access to some discounts, for my self. That aside, yes, it is expensive, especially for say my family (of 5). However, if you google “discounts for (enter venue here) in NYC, a slew of sites will come up that will over upto 20% discounts at time.

Most venues, like Ripley’s and others in the Times Square area are a bit pricey. It’s the “tourist” section of the city, so it’s to be expected. So if you can take advantage of the various coupons offered online do so, they help reduce some of the costs.

Also, I like The Wax Museum more than Ripley’s. If you want to try other places outside of Times Square, send me an email at carol@nycitymama.com and let me know what you and your son’s interests are and I will be more than happy to provide you with other ideas : )

I would like to take my son to the wax museum as well. How much did it cost? I know it is expensive. Did you find a discount? Also what are your thoughts on the Ripleys Believe it or not. Is it appropriate for children? That is also expensive, same question. Any other suggestions of what to do in the city, that is not too expensive is welcome. His 9 birthday is coming in February, any places to celebrate would be great.
Thanks so much! Alma

I plan on going there with my hubby (sans kids) on a weekday. I don’t think my kids would enjoy it much. Looks like you guys had a blast. Enjoyed your pics.
