Advantages: 5 floors. Lots of Wax-works on display. Photos allowed. Atmospheric Dungeon

Disadvantages: Some of the Wax-works are dodgy. Not much scope for re-visiting

I'd just like to start by saying that I am a big fan of Blackpool. I go on holiday there once or twice a year & have done for nearly a decade. I have been in all the attractions at one time or another. So although I am going to be critical of this attraction, it isn't because I have a downer on Blackpool.

This attraction is pretty much as advertised. A wax works, on five floors. Each dedicated to different aspects of fame. With sections dedicated to famous historical figures, sportsmen, musicians & actors you will get to see a lot of famous faces. You are allowed to take pictures. You can pose with some of the wax works & the basement chamber of horrors is very atmospheric.

Here is where I get critical. This is no Madame Tussauds. Some of the wax works are good representations of who they are supposed to be. Some are not so good. You can have as much fun in places trying to guess who the wax work is supposed to be as you can just by looking at the wax works. Also, although they change the attraction from year to year. Adding some & removing others. I don't know if you would want to re-visit it once you've been in

I will say this. If you're in Blackpool & want to kill a couple of hours. You can do it in here & have some fun. However there are other attractions in Blackpool which are better, like the Tower & the Sealife centre. You might want to head there first.

Summary: Not Bad, But better options for you time & money in Blackpool
