Prices and hours
The museum is on Plaza de Colón, next to Colón metro (line 4). It opens daily 11:00 to 19:00 from October to March and until 20:00 from April to September, with the box office closing an hour earlier. Allow about an hour and a half with the Wax Horror passage, which is included according to our wax museum page.

Official site or Tiqets?
The official online packs are hard to beat for two people or a family. Tiqets stays useful when you combine visits: the museum is sold there with the Bernabéu stadium (from EUR 56) and with Sweet Space. Note that the Tiqets ticket is non-refundable and the date cannot be changed, whereas the official site may offer other terms: read both before paying.
Who it suits, and the traps
- Children. The figures can be photographed up close and Spanish history is staged; the horror passage is not recommended for under-12s, according to the museum.
- Experience fans. The site also sells an escape game at EUR 35 and a mentalism show at EUR 30.
- Wednesday. It is the cheapest day for entry alone.
- Tickets. Keep them for the whole visit: they are used inside the galleries.
If you hesitate
If you would rather have a more classic museum nearby, the National Archaeological Museum is a few minutes' walk away and a different kind of outing. For a guided look at the area, see this welcome walking tour of Madrid on GetYourGuide, which does not include the museum. With children, read Madrid with kids.
