Buying guide
Most visitors should book a standard dated ticket to bypass the often-lengthy ticket office queue on Boulevard Montmartre, especially since the museum's capacity is limited by the opening Palais des Mirages show. For the best value in the 9th Arrondissement, the combo ticket with Rex Studios is highly recommended as both attractions are within a 5-minute walk of each other.
Provides the essential entry for all themed areas with instant mobile delivery to skip the manual box office.

Located at 10 Boulevard Montmartre, the museum features a single main entrance where all visitors, including those with pre-booked tickets, must join the same outdoor queue for a mandatory security bag check. Contrary to 'skip-the-line' marketing, official rules for 2026 confirm that online tickets only bypass the on-site ticket office, not the security bottleneck. To minimize wait times, arrive 15 minutes before opening or visit after 4:30 PM on weekdays, specifically avoiding Wednesday afternoons when local school groups peak. Once through security, the experience starts with the Palais des Mirages light show; if the lobby is congested, wait for the next show cycle (approx. every 10 minutes) to ensure a clear view of the illusions.
Official adult rates for June 2026 range from €21 for "Dated" tickets (booked 3+ days ahead) to €28 for flexible "Undated" tickets, while child rates (ages 5–18) range from €16 to €19.80. Partner prices generally align with the €28 flexible benchmark or specific dated slots; always verify if a partner offer includes the "Dated" discount or requires a specific entry time.
Children under 5 enter for free but must have a zero-cost timed ticket added to the reservation during checkout to comply with capacity limits. Reduced-price tickets are available for visitors aged 5–18, students, and guests with disabilities (including one companion), with valid ID required at the entrance. To secure the lowest official rates, visitors should book 'Dated' tickets at least 3 to 5 days in advance; 'Undated' flexible tickets or same-day walk-in purchases carry a significant price premium. Note that specific social discounts, such as those for job seekers or large families (Famille Nombreuse), are typically only redeemable at the physical ticket office on the day of the visit.
Arrive early enough for security checks, ticket scanning and wayfinding.
FAQ
Yes, digital tickets on smartphones are fully accepted. You can choose between 'Dated' tickets, which are cheaper but fixed to a specific day, and 'Undated' tickets, which are valid for 365 days from purchase and offer total flexibility without a pre-booked time.
Official tickets, both dated and undated, are strictly non-refundable and non-exchangeable. If your travel plans are uncertain, check the terms on partner sites like Tiqets or GetYourGuide, as they occasionally offer options with more flexible cancellation windows for a small premium.
No. All visitors, including those with pre-purchased online tickets, must join the same mandatory security check line. During peak periods and school holidays, this security queue can be significant; your ticket only allows you to bypass the physical ticket office purchase window.
A paid cloakroom is available for coats and small bags, but large suitcases and bulky luggage exceeding 55x35x20 cm are strictly prohibited and cannot be stored on-site. Small, foldable strollers are permitted unless the museum is at peak capacity, in which case they must be checked.
For dated tickets, entry is subject to the museum's real-time capacity. If you miss your date or arrive very late, staff may deny entry, and no refunds are provided for unused tickets. Undated tickets avoid this risk as they allow entry at any time during opening hours.
Children under 5 enter for free with proof of identity. Unlike national French museums, Grévin is a private venue and does not offer free entry to residents under 26; however, a reduced rate is available for youth aged 5–18 and students with valid ID.
The primary internal wait occurs at the 'Palais des Mirages' (Hall of Mirrors) at the very start of the tour. This is a group-based sound and light show; you may have to wait 5–15 minutes for the next cycle to begin before you can continue into the main wax figure galleries.
