 Familiar dome of Madame
Tussauds and Planetarium by mazzap, 4 more photos
Things are much the same but with updated themes. Still lots of pushing and shoving from eager tourists as you wind your way around the halls displaying wax models of world famous people - everyone trying to get their photo taken with the stars! My son had a great time as you can see in the pics!
Entry to the Planetarium is now included in the entry ticket price - but is just so uncomfortable it's hard to enjoy! Neck-ache is inevitable if you do go to the (fortunately) short show. Sit as far to the back of the dome as you can for least discomfort!
The chamber of horrors is still as popular as it ever was - see next tip! An additional payment allows you to access the 'Chamber Live' - a 'scary' experience with a few serial killers on the loose! Have made a return visit recently...there is no longer a charge to access the 'Chamber Live' exhibition! But the overall entrance price was around Ģ25 per adult / Ģ21 for children, which I considered to be extortianate!! If you can get a '2 for 1' voucher before you go, then best to do so!
You will find all the usual amenities - refreshments, disabled access, souvenir shop etc. at Madame Tussauds.
A useful tip - get pre-booked tickets - or prepare to queue for a LONG while!! A familiar sight alongside the outer main building! Leave a Comment

Everybody knows what Madame Tussauds is but for you who dont know it is waxcabinett with copies of famous people in real size made of wax. They are so well made that sometimes itīs hard to see if itīs a real person or a wax doll. There is a Horror chamer 'the chamber-live' itīs real people who walks around in dark rooms and passages and scares you, not recomendet for people who is easyly frightend or have a week heart, itīs really scary.
This is a place you must go to when your visiting London, here you can take a picture with your favorite superstar.

You can order tickets on the web (itīs a little cheaper, save 10%) and you dont have to stay in line when you get there. You go directly to Priority Access entrance and show your ticket from the web. But ofcours you can buy ticket when you get to Madame Tussauds but the lines to can be wery long.
A ticket to Madame Tussauds costs. Adult 24.47Ģ (about 30 Euro), Children 20.55Ģ (about 26 Euro)

I am not sure whether I should put this under Warnings or Things to do it is because some people view it as a hinderance and a tourist trap, and others view it as something splendid to visit!
We went on a good day, the crowds were thin and we had our 2for1 ticket in hand.
We thought the replicas of some were only okay, but the majority of them are superb. My personal favourites are (surprise surprise) Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Ghandi. Whoopi Goldberg was also very good, as were Ant and Dec!
We had some fun messing about, posing with different characters, and having mock chats with them.
I would be wary of taking young kids here as the wax models are all over the place and wouldnt be that hard to knock down I would think. For older kids it is nice.
On the website below they discuss their pricing structure, they do give discounts to groups and school parties. Leave a Comment

Madame Tussaud's is a wax museum with an incredible (and morbid) history. Her illustrious career began in the 18th century, when she started taking death masks of prisoners about to be executed. Don't ask me why.
Her work eventually progressed to wax models of celebrities and notables, continuing after her death, and today the museum is loaded with dozens of uncannily realistic old and modern celebrities. The celebs range from Steven Spielberg to Henry VIII, from Adolf Hitler to the Rock, and stand freely about the museum so that you can see them up close, have your picture taken with them, and tell them that you thought they were really great in Be Cool.
There is also a gruesome Chamber of Horrors and a fantastic trip through time to experience 'Old London' in a miniaturized London cab. I particularly enjoyed this last bit and recommend it for the whole family (unlike the Chamber of Horrors, which is be a bit scary for children). The show is cheapest in the evening, so I'd suggest the 5pm show. Be there in plenty of time to queue up and grab a ticket! Leave a Comment

The original Madame Tussauds' is here in London. I went to the one in Las Vegas(which was very small in comparison) The life size wax figures are exquisitely detailed from head to toe. Each hair is placed with precision.
I didn't think I would be fooled, but there was a part of the museum where you can't tell the real people from the wax ones.
They also have a part of the museum that's known as "The Chamber of Horrors." That place is super scary. Enter at your own risk! Me and my friend didn't make it past the entrance...we ran screaming out with two other girls. Leave a Comment

 Madame Tussaud's by MartinaH
You can see a lot of stars - almost alive ;-)
Hundreds of wax celebrities are waiting for you. It's not everyday that you come face to face with Samuel L. Jackson, David Beckham.
Madame Tussaud's is London's number one tourist attraction, so it's often very busy !
It's open daily from 9 am to 5.30 pm
The earlier you go the more expensive it is !!! Leave a Comment

You'll find here wax models of famous singers, actors, monarchs, sport stars and many others. And don't forget to visit the Chamber inside the museum...:) Although it is not allowed for people under 18. It can be scary at some moments:) Leave a Comment
