Which Grévin Wax Museum Ticket to Pick
Grévin sells two main ways in. The standard ticket ($32, 4.5★ from nearly 5,000 reviews) is what most visitors want: straight entry to the wax figures, the Hall of Mirrors and the Palais des Mirages show, and it stays open on Mondays when many of the big national museums close.
The Grévin + Seine River Cruise combo ($51, 4.4★ from 304 reviews) adds a roughly one hour sightseeing boat ride past the main monuments. It costs more and shows a slightly lower rating, drawn from a much smaller pool of reviews, and it suits families who want to pair the wax museum with a first look at the river.
If you only have time for one thing, take the standard ticket. If you want to build a fuller day around Grévin, or the cruise timing fits your schedule, the combo is a reasonable step up. For other options nearby, see our guide to the best museums in Paris.
