Cute, but rather small and nowhere near the $25 a person for it. Fun mini games with some world records but I think it was way overpriced and underwhelming.

Be careful when purchasing the tickets to go to both the wax museum and the Guinness world records. We were a party of 7, (one under the age of 4). Only two of us in the party decided to go check out the museum and once we scanned our tickets to go check it out, the guy “Boulder” (which he stated was not his name.) Told us our tickets had already been scanned, and we could not check out the museum, I was confused as we paid the more expensive price so we would be able to check out both. I then asked my sister for her tickets thinking maybe the kids had scanned them twice by mistake, staff is not very friendly. Yet we did enjoy seeing the wax museum.

It was so much fun. Had a lot of interactive things. Would definitely recommend this for families

Billy Mitchell has fabricated many records, and submitted a video for his Arcade record which is easily proven to be done on an emulator. Not sure why his records were reinstated. Todd Rogers verified his records, and he was banned as a judge after submitting impossible times and scores on many games.

Enjoying science and nature without children running around and cutting you in line to see the exhibits? ! It's almost too good to be true really. NightLife was an amazing experience - I must say I was rather surprised at how crowded it was outside even though I arrived about an hour after opening (there was still a line outside to buy tickets), but it is a popular Golden Gate Park attraction so maybe I'm not really THAT surprised.

Absolutely unbelievable. Possibly the best museum I have ever been to. So, so interactive, so extensive. So postmodern! It doesn't follow any strict linear narrative. People can move throughout the space in the pace and order they choose. They also have signs and exhibits at all different heights for tall and short people. All of these things really help to resolve the normal crowding problems that museums have.

Felt very outdated and quite a few of the records are already broken. Coolest thing is at the entrance and free, the 5.5 ton marble globe that floats on water. Could see kids enjoying it, quite a few activities for them to do but as adults I could of missed it and not really cared.

They have fun challenges and games to play that will keep you in for longer then advertised (24 minutes) me and my girlfriend stayed for almost 2 hours reading and watching what they had. Floor 2 had a bunch of games to play that you dont need to pay for once you are in the museum.

Very interesting and weird world records. I enjoyed a few ones. Some are really creepy, others too dumb.

I have to say, not amazing.
About a 10 minutes walk through museum. (with stoping)
About 15-20 with games too.
I would recommend to go to a near by museum could "Believe it or not"
A very nice place, has more interactive attractions and is bigger (longer) and I at least found it more interesting a fun then the Guinness museum.

They charged 20 dollars for records that were severely outdated. Don't waste your money here go somewhere else.

Never been to this kind of museum before and haven't really been following the Guinness world records so I didn't really know what to expect.

That being said I saw some records that I know are outdated but was still showcased as a record holder. But it was interesting to see of course and there was a lot of good information on the different records. It was worth the money.:)

Interesting but outdated much more like a historical museum of Guinness World Record. It’s just ok.

Not really worth it but we went on a combined ticket. A lot of things didn't work right and while it seemed up-to-date I just didn't find most of it that interesting.

I got the VIP ticket which gave me access to Ripley's, Guinness world records, as well as the Hollywood wax museum. It was about $35 and worth it in this case.

In particular Guinness was a nice fun activity with lots of interesting things to see inside. Check out the attached pictures with this review and you'll get a free picture tour:)

The Guinness is great and informative about past record holder thing about the tallest man to the smallest person

I love Guinness world records and collect all the books so I was looking forward to seeing this place. Sadly though it wasn’t as big as I’d expect it to be. It was only two floors that didn’t have that much on each. Had some similar exhibits to the Ripley’s museum too. Still worth a visit if you’re interested but just a little disappointed it didn’t have much to offer.

Visited here recently and while we enjoyed ourselves we found several issues. This Museum and the one next door, the Ripley's Museum, had many of the exact same exhibits. Sometimes they even contradicted each other. Such as the fattest man. One Museum says it's one person at a specific weight and the other Museum says it is a different person at a different weight. Pretty sad since you know that at least one of them is wrong and they tried to portray themselves as 100% accurate.

Good attraction. Have been to others so it was a bit samey but still enjoyed it with my daughter
