A sign of New York's decay New York used to be a city like no other. People came here from all over the world to see the things they couldn't see anywhere else. And the people who lived here owned the city - they were the ones that made it what it is through the sheer power of their personalities. New York had a magic, a history and a character of its own. That's all long gone. The city is slowly turning into Disneyworld Jr. It is built less and less for the people who live here (in fact, does ANYONE live in Manhattan anymor... read more

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!

Prices are high Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum is a lot of fun -- the wax statues are so real, it's incredible. People of all ages will enjoy this place -- both kids and adults. There are celebrities, politicians, historical figures -- all created with lifelike features. It is centrally located -- right in the middle of Times Square. I just wish the admission prices weren't so expensive. I've had a lot of out of town visitors who would have loved to go -- but the high prices just didn't seem worth it when there is so much else ... 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.

Wow'd by Wax I have never been to another wax museum, but this one had tons of people. All types of famous people, musicians, sports stars, and even Simon from American Idol. That was a great feature, a karoake session set up in front of Simon. I thought it was a bit pricey while paying for admission, but afterwards it was worth it. Check this place out!

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!
