Wax Museum | Texas

MotorHome Magazine | November 2001

Called the Arabian Fan­tasy because of its onion domes, min­arets and exotic detailing, a building in Grand Prairie, Texas, houses two unique attractions. First, explore Ripley's Believe It or Not! and discover the most bizarre oddities from all corners of the globe. Experience Atlantis, and hold onto your hat as you step into a 200-mph tornado.

Then, mingle with Hollywood's most famous stars in the Palace of Wax. There you can relive unfor­gettable moments from classics such as The Wizard ofOz or Gone With the Wind. Meet Forrest Gump, Brad Pitt and Bette Davis (above), and view the nightmares of Alien. Also you can watch the resi­dent sculptor at work in his wax studio.

Open daily, the fasci­nating facility has ample free parking. For details, call (972) 263-2391, or visit www. palaceofwax. com.
