Madame Tussauds Outside of the fact that it is rediculously expensive for what it is Madame Tussauds still is a fun place to visit. Save your visit for when you have a friend from out of town and then head down and tourist out. Bring a camera as you will end up wanting to take pictures even if you aren't normaly a picture taker. PROS: Fun CONS: Expensive

House of Wax Yes Virginia there is a was museum and it's not all that. The exhibits are boring and it's way too short. Plus the admission price is ridiculous. It's over $25 just to see famous people in wax figures! Stick with taking your picture with the wax figure of Samuel L. Jackson that's standing outside. It's free and it will give you a good laugh.

Really awesome! Although a bit scary to kids! I loved it! Although it scared my son a little - some of the figures were SO life like... I half expected to see the rise and fall of their chest cavities!

As real as can be The wax figures here are so lifelike. People would wait for the wax tourist to finish taking a picture before realizing that it is wax. The best part about this museum is that you can go right up to the wa figures and touch them or pose with them. Make sure you bring your camera. You want to get your pictue with the wax figures. There are some new interactive wax figures that can blush (J Lo) or roll their eyes (Simon Cowell). The only drawback here is the price (about $30 for adults). However, you can get ... read more

More fun that a tub of wax If your idea of a good time is wrapping your hands around Whoppie Goldberg and yelling "cheese" then this is the place for you! If you're a tourist of a New York City native, it's always a good time to hang out with celebrities made of parafin. It is frightening how real they look and you can bring home pictures and tell you friends how real they looked and convince them how real they still look. It's a fun time for everyone, although kids do sometimes get a little spooked by the fake people all ar... read more

If You Think A Bunch Of Wax Is Boring, Think Again! I LOVE Madame Tussauds museum. The place is huge. It has many different rooms featuring many different famous people. The first room is a bunch of A list celebs at a cocktail party, like Roin Williams, Whoppie Goldberg, Lenny Kravitz, Samuel L. Jackson... the list goes on and on. It is amazing how REAL they look. You can get up close and personal with each was sculpture. I have fooled many people with pictures from this museum who think I've met them for real! As you keep t... read more

The place for pictures You can go right up to the wax figures and take pictures with them. There are no barriers around these figures and interaction is encouraged. I went with a few friends and spent half a day there taking crazy pictures. The wax figures are very life like. The only drawback is that it costs about $30 to go. If you can't afford to go inside they have a couple wax figures in the lobby that you can take pictures with for free PROS: Photo Ops CONS: Expensive

Touristy but nice Madame Tussaud's is a great experience that is costly but wonderful. A museum full of amazing was figures that you are allowed to touch and model yourself in fun pictures and poses. The museum is amazingly maintained but can have significant lines because it is a very touristy attaction. Overall, this is something everyone should do once as toursits should not have all the fun

Very Good Museum This is a whole-family experience museum, somewhere where people can go again and again. The wax statues are amazingly lifelike, to the point where you can't determine what you look like. Certain exhibits stay the same; others constantly change. Pictures are allowed, and the entire museum is very hands-on and entertaining, including an American Idol karaoke exhibit where Simon gives you real-live criticism. Prices are bit high, but overall this is a ton of family fun!
