The museum had very friendly staff and despite there being a good chunk of people, it wasn't too crowded and you could move around at will. I'd wager about 90% of the statues looked fantastic. Some of them came out a little weird, like George Bush and Geri Halliwell, but then there are others like Lady Gaga, Jen Aniston, FDR,... More

Rip off! They close at 8 but they told me when I call as long as I get there by 8 they will let us stay as long as we want. But instead they rushed us through every room. We wanted to get pix and read the signs but we had no time. We were out in 45 minutes! And... More

great day out for all the family. It was a fantastic day for all. The children were in heaven. Every category that you can think of from football stars through to INternational Rock Stars.

We enjoyed our visit to the wax museum very much! It was the perfect activity for a rainy afternoon. Kate Middleton and Prince William were superb! We could not get over how Justin Timberlake and Johnny Depp looked so real! An interesting art!

This is something that everyone can enjoy! I simply loved every moment. They change up their wax models every 2 months so you can expect something different every time you go. From big time movie stars, to super heroes, to the past presidents of the US you can find models of all these people here. My favorite was of course... More

While walking around the Times Sqare area we were handed a discount coupon for Madame Tussauds. As a native New Yorker I initially dismissed the thought, but my young children were interested so we went in. I am surprized about how much I like it! It was especially fun for the children. I will recommend it

We only visited as we got in for free using our New York pass. The wax figures do not look real, and are very disappointing. Glad we didn't have to pay to see this rubbish.
