What it is

Dreamland – Museu de Cera is the best-known wax attraction in Foz do Iguaçu. It sits on Av. das Cataratas, 8100, inside the Dreams Park Show entertainment complex, on the road toward the Falls. Opened in 2014, it is billed as the largest wax museum in Latin America, with more than 120 figures spread across themed sets.

What you'll see

The wax sculptures bring together personalities from film, music, television, sports, cartoons and history. It's a hands-on experience: you get right up close to each figure, step into the sets and take selfies next to your idols. There is something for adults, who recognize artists from many eras, and for children, who love the cartoon characters.

Hours and tickets

The museum is open every day, from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. — it's worth confirming on the official website before you go, as hours can change on holidays and in high season. You can buy a ticket for Dreamland only, or the Passaporte Dreams package, which combines the wax museum with other attractions in the complex (such as the dinosaur valley and the ice area). Discounted tickets are available for students and seniors, per Brazilian law. Prices are for reference only and change often — check the current price on the official website before buying.

Is it worth it, and with kids?

It's an indoor, air-conditioned attraction, which makes it one of the best options for a rainy day or a break from the sun between outings. A visit usually takes about an hour, is easy to do with and makes for plenty of photos. Since it shares the complex with other attractions, you can build a half-day plan around it.
