Their study lists average entry fees for several well-known destinations and some surprising entries visitors may not expect.

In seventh place is the Empire State Building, with an average ticket price just under $40 per person. This iconic New York attraction remains a top draw for visitors seeking panoramic city views or a romantic moment at the observation deck, and it ranks among the priciest urban landmarks.
-
Another New York City attraction appears next on the list: Trolls: The Experience. With an average price just a penny higher than the Empire State Building, this immersive exhibit is unexpectedly costly compared with more traditional city sights.
-
Spyscape, an interactive museum in New York, rounds out the city’s entries. Focused on espionage and the tools of deception, the family-friendly attraction includes exhibits inspired by famous fictional spies and real-world intelligence work, which contribute to its relatively high admission cost.
-
In fourth place overall is the London branch of Madame Tussauds, averaging $45.58 per ticket. The famed wax museum draws visitors eager to see lifelike representations of celebrities and historical figures, and London’s flagship location commands one of the highest prices among global attractions.

The Burj Khalifa in Dubai ranks third, with an average entry price of $55.65 per person. As the tallest building in the world since 2008, its observation decks and luxury amenities make it one of the most expensive towers to visit globally.
-
In second place is Hengdian World Studios, often called “Chinese Hollywood.” As the world’s largest film studio complex, it attracts international visitors and fans of film production, which helps explain its relatively high ticket prices compared with other cultural destinations.
-
Topping TicketLens’s list is London’s Warner Bros. Studio Tour – The Making of Harry Potter, with an average ticket price of $58.57 per person. The permanent exhibition of sets, props and behind-the-scenes displays is a major draw for fans and frequently cited as a must-see experience despite its premium price.
