Top ways to experience Madame Tussauds Hollywood
The area
Address
Neighborhood: Hollywood
Hollywood undoubtedly conjures up images of movie stars and high-end lifestyles, and to this day, tourists flock here from around the world to see the iconic Hollywood Walk of Fame, Chinese Theatre and to catch a glimpse of the famed Hollywood sign up close. Celebrity impersonators and crowds give these areas the feeling of an amusement park while many clubs and hotels fill up around the weekends for late-night partying - the Hollywood club scene is a haven for thumping music and table-side bottle service. But parties aren’t the only way to enjoy this area, many visitors come to the neighborhood to sit back with a picnic to watch a performance at the Hollywood Bowl and those looking to stay fit trek along nature trails in the Hollywood hills and in Griffith Park.

I think this is a must visit once kind of thing. You’ve been to one wax museum, you’ve seen them all. This is one of the nicer ones here, some are errrrrr horrifying. It’s busy, don’t expect to have that one wax figure all to yourself for photos, expect to wait a bit for others to get through. Not made in mind with those who aren’t able bodied for photo ops, but you can get some cool photos and enjoy all the same. Just not as well designed for such.

A thoroughly enjoyable visit. Slight hiccup with our booking as bar code did not appear on our phone but, a supervisor resolved the problem. We throughly enjoyed our tour of all the exhibits and the many photo opportunities with the 'stars'. A throroughly enjoyable morning. A 'must see' attraction. Highly recommended.

If you have the time and have not been to a wax works before, it is great. The cost for an Australian traveller is a bit steep due to exchange. But you are considering booking a day tour, a lot of the companies offer free passes. Worth looking into.

Try going in and you'll see all your favourite Hollywood stars. You have to pay to get in so prepare some cash for it.

The last time I was there, I was with a very young child and bored to tears. This time my grandson (11) really wanted to go and we did. He loved it.
If you love wax figures of movie stars and others, this is the place for you. That is what it is, a museum of wax figures placed in a setting, dressed in whatever they are famous for. For example, you may see Marilyn Monroe dressed from a famous scene in a movie. They have so many figures, from older stars to newer celebrities.
Parking is a bear. It is expensive. But all of Hollywood is like that. Try for street parking, but mind the signs. They have a cute gift shop and you will be there an hour or more. You can often get discount tickets on line or on the street in Hollywood. It is also nice and cool inside.
If you have a kid, they will love it and there excitement will allow you to have fun.

I was there on Sept 17th 2013, I forgot my purse on the second floor for no more than 10 minutes and when the front desk guy returned it to me, everything was in there except for $600 in cash, I know it was my fault, but I'm pretty sure the guy on the front desk took it, he was pretty nervious about the whole thing (blonde small guy with a hordeolum in one of his upper lid), I spoke to the manager and she told me I had to fill a police report in order to see the footage to determine if someone took the money, I'm mexican and I was leaving the next day so I didn't fill a police report, besides the manager told me there was almost no chance to get my money back even with a police report, so I'm pretty sure this guy stole the money and the manager could've done something else than tell me to fill a police report, so I'm never ever coming back to this place of thieves and I'm going to make sure to tell my story to anyone I know.

If you are going to go to a wax museum...go to Madame Tussaunds. They have a standard, unlike Ripley's hollywood wax museum. The Ripley's attraction's wax figures look horrible and not even close to the stars or obviously look fake. The one's in Tussaund's look so real and life like. It is a fun place and layed out great. Even on a busy day, we didn't have to wait on people very much and nobody was in the way of our pictures. Great price value too.

Hola, quiero comprar la entrada en la página web de Madame Tussauds, pero en ningún lugar está la opción de escoger la fecha en la que iré, basta con comprarla e ir cualquier día?

Hola , yo la compré directamente allí por el mismo motivo que tú y no tuve problemas . Generalmente no es lugar muy concurrido pero te recomiendo 100% que lo visites !
Hola, una pregunta. Sale más caro comprar los Tickets en el lugar que online? Gracias.

請問好萊塢杜莎夫人蠟像館,跟旁邊不遠的 好萊塢蠟像館,兩個一樣嗎?

Thanks for the question!
We are two different attractions with two different experiences. At Madame Tussauds Hollywood, we deliver an Alive Fame Experience to our guests, through our amazing wax figures, immersive sets, and technology-driven experiences.
It's completely up to you what you do with your time whilst visiting Hollywood, but I would love for you to make Madame Tussauds part of your itinerary!

Loved the Hollywood one, but never have been to Vegas one to compare. I bet they are very similar and I love both destinations to visit!

I came to this Madame tussards in Hollywood, expecting with the slightest doubt that the world famous Pop Icon Superstar BRITNEY SPEARS would be in the museum. To my wasted $60.00, she was no where in the museum, and I was mislead and deceived by the many photos of her figure around the exhibits. How could they have nearly every famous Pop Star except for the Princess of Pop herself. I really hope the Madame Tussards managers see this and rethink adding Britney to the iconic Hollywood residence because there are thousands of Britney fans who are willing to through their money into the establishment just to get a picture with her. BIG mistake for not including the one and only pop ICON.

Hi, not sure what happened to you, but I was there in September 2018 and got some great pics with Taylor. She was there when I was there.
