★★★★★4 weeks agoA spontaneous stop at the Musée Grévin turned out to be the highlight of my trip! The entire museum is stunning and spacious, but the light show in the glass room is absolutely mesmerizing, truly unique❣️❣️❣️ I’m so glad I walked past and decided to go, tickets were affordable, and I easily booked right at the entrance. Combined with the lovely customer service, it was a fantastic experience. Highly recommended!
