Palace of Wax, Ft. Worth

Two fascinating museums share space under one huge domed roof. Visitors can choose to visit only one museum, but a discount combo ticket is available for those who want to see both. The Palace of Wax houses more than 175 wax statues of famous people from books, history and the movies. The two most striking exhibits, in a macabre display of opposites, are a multi-room study of the life of Jesus Christ and a torture chamber display entitled "The Fear is Here." Ripley's Believe it or Not! features many of the strange and startling discoveries chronicled by Robert Ripley in the 1930s. Interactive exhibits allow the visitor to live through a tornado and an earthquake.
