Madame Tussauds

I visited Madame Tussauds this summer, and I'm afraid to say that I was bitterly disappointed. The first issue was the queues to get in. They were around the block and the lady who worked there said that getting to the back would be a 90 minute wait. Fortunately, I had a baby in a buggy with me, which means you have to go in a side entrance, and get to jump all the queues!!! So my top tip, would be to grab yourself a kid and go with them! Next, the price is just ridiculously expensive. If you buy a train ticket, you get buy one get one free. So I had not bargained, on my one child ticket, one adult and one pensioner costing £44.00!

My family and I visited Madame Tussauds on a holiday to London, but unfortunately it wasn't quite as good as we had hoped it would be. * What Is It? * Madame Tussauds is a popular tourist attraction in Central London. It is a wax museum (established by Marie Tussauds and operated by Merlin Entertainments) featuring a variety of wax figures including sport stars, actors, world leaders and musicians. Madame Tussauds also includes the planetarium. * Where Is It? * Madame Tussauds is very near the Baker Street tube - only a two minute walk away. We had no problems finding it... it was unmissable due to the huge queue leaking out ...  Read the complete review

I have wanted to go to Madame Tussauds for ages, so me and my other half went along. We lined up outside for about 30 minutes and then for another hour when we got inside. There were lots of things to look at and do while waiting in the queue and I thought the presentation was good. We then went to the till, the staff were rude and fake, luckily my other half had a 2 for 1 voucher otherwise it would have cost £50! When going inside, the wax works models were all over the place, there was no structure at all. You couldn't get anywhere because there were to many people in the room at a time. People kept pushing me out of the way when I was trying to take pictures, which ...  Read the complete review

Vile overrated rubbish! Yes there is skill in the models but its a packed somewhat nightmarish experience, a hideous amount of money and the children we bought were very disappointed. I would spend the time taking the kids to the museums which are free, wonderful and entertaining. This was a hell hole full of overhandled slightly greasy looking wax figures and each one has a queue for photos. If queueing is your thing then you should go, because that is what you will do for the couple of challenging hours that you will be trapped in the place. Can't believe its the most visited attraction in the UK.

Tuesday, 4 August 2009 a date that will live in infimy - well unlikely, but it was the second day of our whirlwind tour of London and after spending the earlier part on The Original Tour (London sightseeing bus) and a quick cruise on the Thames we zoomed along on the tube to Baker Street underground station. It had to be spot on, so we used the Bakerloo Line so that I could show Sue (my partner) the pictures of Sherlock Holmes on the walls of this one line. After turning left out of the station and with feet already aching we passed the giant statue of the man himself (yes about 9 feet high) as we headed to Madame Tussauds. From the outside it was ...  Read the complete review
