Madame Tussauds Wax Exhibitions have a long history going back more than 200 years. Back in 1770, a very young Madame Tussaud learnt the skill of creating wax figures from Dr. Philippe Curtius. By the age of 17 she was art tutor to the sister of King Louis XVI in the famous Palace Of Versaille in Paris. Early in the 19th century Madame Tussaud's exhibition travelled around Britain showcasing its unique collection of relics and wax likenesses of renowned public figures both good and bad. This travelling show brought the news of the day to life in a day and age when most news travelled simply by word of mouth.

A Marvel Super Heroes 4D movie is also part of the Madame Tussauds experience in London as is the chamber of horrors, although you may want to skip that portion if you have children along.

Madame Tussauds Wax Museum London Reviews
Rated
out of 5 So glad we added this to our trip in London! A lot of cool and mostly lifelike wax figures to take photos with. Fun for family. We got the London pass and this was included. Accessible via public transport which is great. Definitely recommend purchasing tickets and securing your time slot in advance. Took us about 2 1/2 hrs for overall walk-through.

Madame Tussauds London: A Fun and Interactive Experience.
Madame Tussauds London is a must-visit attraction for tourists and locals alike. The museum features incredibly lifelike wax figures of celebrities, historical figures, and fictional characters. It's a great place to get up close and personal with your favorite stars and learn about history in a fun and interactive way.
I particularly enjoyed the interactive exhibits and photo opportunities. It was exciting to strike a pose with my favorite celebrities and create lasting memories.
The museum is also well-organized, making it easy to navigate and explore.
However, there were a few minor drawbacks. The "Chamber of Horrors" section, while interesting for older visitors, may be too scary for young children. It would be helpful if there were an alternative route for families with young children to avoid this section.
Overall, I had a positive experience at Madame Tussauds London. It's a great place to spend a few hours and have fun. Just be mindful of the "Chamber of Horrors" if you're traveling with young children.

Our visit to Madame Tussauds in London was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The wax figures were incredibly detailed, and the 3D movie added an extra layer of fun. The little train journey that takes you through scenes from the old days was a wonderful touch, giving us a glimpse into history in an entertaining way. The overall experience was definitely worth the ticket price. Just a heads-up—when you arrive, make sure to get your time slot from the office at the end of the building. Highly recommended!

The best spot of my visit to the city London. It was my childhood dream to visit there on my own. You can meet your favourite celebrities and click pictures here that make ur lifetime memories. The taxi ride is so adventurous that changes your mood instantly.

Well worth a visit. The attractions are life-like. The taxi ride was a bonus (you'll see what I mean when you visit) and don't miss the 3D theatre. Allow a good couple of hours and don't rush. Prices inside are very reasonable. Enjoy 👍
