Don't assume anyone you look at is real! The wax figures here are incredible, and the way they are mixed in with the visiting crowds will absolutely have you doing a double take to see if they are real or not. Inevitably, some jokers will try and pose and pretend to be a wax figure just to scare you - enjoy and laugh as it's part of the experience!

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

Good for a one time visit. Tons of pop culture icons. A pretty interesting collection of wax figures that you can just gawk at and take pictures with. I wouldn't go again. The Hulk wax statue is pretty interesting. A little pricey however (over 20 bucks a person). Visit once in your lifetime at least.

Wax figures, What a concept! I've been to Madam Tussauds Wax museum in New York and in London and while both feature celebrities made out of wax, this one in Times Square seems a bit bigger and more outragious..It's almost scary how lifelike these figures are..One of my favorite things to do is take photos standing near one or more of the figures as if engaging in conversation...It's fun to show the photos off when I get home without an explanation as to how and where the picture was taken..:) PROS: Fun and interesting place... read more

An interesting place to hang out... This place is semi-entertaining. I think it is ridiculously over-priced, however (as is everything in New York City!!!). Do not go on a weekday, as they do not offer all of the entertaining attractions on weekedays. The "learn to dance like Beyonce" attraction, and the Derek Jeter baseball attraction were not open when we were there because it was a weekday. You have to pay an extra $5 for the Van Helsing haunted house, but it's very much worth it...the haunted house was the best part of t... read more

Wax I have often seen the Samuel L. Jackson figurine outside the museum. On a whim I decided to pay the admission fee, which was way overpriced if you ask me and see what all the hubbub was about. To be honest it was very boring. Just a bunch of was figures of todays so called stars standing around and a bunch of television sets in the front showing scenes from movies. I wouldn't recommend.

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

Incredible and must go We had so much fun. The figures are amazing and so lifelike. We ended the entire tour with karaoke. With 23 high schoolers and 3 chaparones, it couldn't have been more fun!
