A family a four from the UK with two teenagers aged 13 and 15 had a great afternoon out. It’s open late at night which works well. They knew loads of the celebs also which was good. We’ve been here a few times over the years and everything we’ve had a good time. The museum is bigger than you think and keeps going. The scary part was fun and unexpected. It’s clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The 4D cinema was brilliant also. This was included as part of our tourist sight seeing pass. There’s also a bar inside to enjoy drink or two.

Very up to date. Got a good feel after the visit. Seeing the great actors in suits gives a good idea of being healthy and motivates you to be hardworking and dedicated.

They have them all! At first you think it would be kept very simple. Then you get to the main stage and it just looks awesome! When you go to the next room, you can't go back to the main stage. After that, all the ones you didn't find on the main, and also the Marvel heroes ect... and the 4D cinema.

Great time! The wax statues are absolutely amazing and so life like! The wax hands is a must do! Antoinette was go incredible helping the kids get their hands done. It took about 2 1/2 hours or so to get through the floors. I recommend getting there early because the lines definitely get longer as the day goes on.

This place will blow your mind! The wax figures look so exact, they speak for themselves. You can actually pose with them too, some photos you can’t tell the difference. Some have the atmosphere around them to make it more realistic. It’s a fun day trip for all ages. Enjoy!

We had a great time. The museum is in the middle of Times Square, which by itself is pretty awesome. I thought it was just wax figures, but we enjoyed the 7D shooting game SO MUCH (the seats move and everything) and the 4D Marvel short movie was pretty cool too. It’s a complete walk through experience and every room is themed. You could probably get through everything in a little as an hour, but we stayed for about 2 hours. At the end you can purchase the photo they take of your family as well as many other souvenirs. We purchased tickets in advance online and that made admission super quick and easy.

The Madam Tussauds New York is one of New York’s most renowned attraction, and an “absolute definite must see and visit destination.”

Located in the heart of Times Square, Midtown Manhattan, New York City, the Madam Tussauds is the world’s premier wax museum, featuring a prolific collection of sculptures that depict recognizable figures, ranging from athletes, celebrities, world leaders, and even superheroes.

The Madam Tussauds was founded and named after Marie Tussauds, a highly prominent French artist and sculptor of the 18th & 19th Century and it’s first wax museum was established in London in 1835. The first museum’s immense success eventually led to the development of other museums throughout the world.

In August of 2022, I brought and treated my wife and myself for a visit to Madam Tussauds New York and we enjoyed every moment of our time there!!!

Our favorite parts of the museum were the area that featured world leaders (both past and present) and the “Hall Of Superheroes” which showcased an extensive collection of Marvel superheroes, such as Captain America, Iron Man, Black Panther, Thor & Incredible Hulk.

I also had great fun watching the Marvel 4D Movie, and playing the Carnival Carnage 7D game.

Both my wife and I treasured our time and experience at the Madam Tussauds and definitely recommend that everyone visit this highly entertaining destination!!!
