Madame Tassauds presents the best wax sculptures one could ever imagine! If you desire to meet your favorite celebrity step into this amazing museum & you will come face to face with them. One catch they can’t talk back.😉Either way you don’t want to miss this amazing experience of such art on display!
NYEve experience. After waiting +2 hrs.in line to get in.The party was AWESOME 🥳 Different music in different rooms. Wax figure were so real! Food was great. NO indoor spot to watch the ball drop.But they let us outside perfect time & our own spot to see the BALL drop 🙌 Thanks to all the staff to make this experience AMAZING 👏☺️
I was pleasantly impressed by how much stuff to do in this place! It takes a good 3 hours to properly go through this place. So many wax figures to be amazed by. There is a cafe closer to the middle area for a quick snack. The Avengers film Was good but could have been a little longer. It was too quick. This place was great! Check it out!
Wonderful experience with my family. It is one of the best collection of famous people in the world. Highly recommend this for the whole family. Not crowded in the morning.
I have been wanting to go here for years. We felt like doing touristy stuff and decided to go. Not disappointed. Some of the statues were soooo lifelike. Others, not so much. Worth the trip though.
Enjoyable couple of hours. Models are incredibly life like! Visited in the morning and wasn’t too busy. Passed later in the day and then there was a long line outside.
Fantastic place, quite crowded but could be worse. The line to the entrance was long but manageable well. The exhibition is actually big and impressive.
Wax sculptures are incredibly lifelike and set up in some interesting displays. Knocked 2 stars for being over priced for the experience and needing more sculptures on display. Was busy which is expected around Times Square but made taking some photos difficult with many other people standing around.
Been too a few of these Tussauds and this one is definitely the biggest. Great replicas. The 4D experience was cute and interactive.
Very big place. It was very fun walking through and seeing all the figures. It took about maybe 30 - 40 minutes to walk through.
It is a nice place to visit with family and friends. All attractions are great had a blast time. Do visit when in NYC.
Not sure how often they update the museum…but it was completely different from last time I had visited. Always an interesting and fun time. Be prepared to take lots of pics and selfies. A nice addition was an area that you can have a wax mold of your hand made for an additional cost. The kids thought that was the coolest thing and they were just like the celebrity wax statues. Museum is pretty large and you should plan at least 2 hours to see all of it. The gift shop could use some revamping as a lot of the items had nothing to do with any of it.
This is a fun family tourist trap. They do a great job of mixing up themes and actors and actresses. Traveler tip: this attraction is on the New York pass. So save yourself a few bucks and see a lot of things in New York.
Best place ever to see the people that were, is and could have been. Takes you back to the past. Nice weekend visit with the kids.
Madame Tussaud’s was a lot better than I expected. The attraction has multiple unique floors that are extremely well themed. My personal favorite was the presidential floor because it had several great historical figures from the Pope to Winston Churchill. To go along with the extremely realistic wax figures they also have several attractions. From the free mirror maze to the upgrade Avengers XD theater. I’m not a huge ghostbusters fan but I did really enjoy the haunted floors that where ghostbuster themed. There was a long line before opening but the staff got everything through rather quickly. It is NYC so there was a homeless guy yelling at children to come see him before we went in, which was disconcerting, but it is the city and not necessarily Madame Tussaud’s fault.
My husband and I were just walking around Times Square. It was our last day in NYC and we didnt have anything planned. We were standing across the street when I saw the “wax museum” sign. Didn’t even know that was a thing! We were a bit hesitant at first because of the price but it was really worth it! So many celebrities, movie characters and politicians in here. Their 4D movie experience was fun! The chairs vibrated and poked you to make it feel like you were actually in the movie.
Although this is a great place in itself, you will be a bit disappointed if you have already been to the one in LA. This one is very congested to freely step back and take photos of the wax statues (NYC, of course!) but I felt the overall experience was a lot better at LA. The Marvel 4D experience was a bit comical, as the movies are a thousand times better. Still, worth a visit if you are visiting NYC
The museum is less interactive compared to London and Berlin. It did not meet my expectations. However figurines are nice and accurate. Use your money for entrance fee for visiting more value-added monuments and spots.
Had a lot of fun although we had to be queuing for almost the whole tour.They have hundreds of statues divided by categories (singers, tv celebrities, movie stars..) and several floors.The statues have an incredible realism.
We got in without buying tickets in advance.It took us 3 hours to get through the whole thing! It was super fun!They rotate celebrities so you never know whos in there. Some wax figures are better than others. I highly recommend this to anyone who like the Hollywood thing or is a movie buff.We had fun :)
Stopped by here before my flight back to Pittsburgh, PA. We started on first floor and followed the self guide tour up to the different levels. Amazing museum set up. The different celebrities were very interesting and fun and interactive at times, like the HuLk exhibit. Took a good hour at medium pace the get selfies of all the characters. Very good times and not crowded for a Sunday morning.
We bought the all inclusive passes and had a blast. The interactive attractions and displays are lots of fun and its a great place to go for any age.
Super fun! A must if you are visiting New York. I would recommend 7D carnage experience :).
I truly enjoyed myself! It was such a wonderful experience. It was really packed but that didn’t take away from the experience for me. I would love to go again in the future.
Absolutely amazing experience!! My daughter and I had the greatest time!! It was so much fun!! The wax figures are incredibly life like!! Superb museum and fantastic staff!! Keep up the great work!! We will definitely be back!!! 10/10 !!!!
I have never been to a wax museum before. So I kinda went in not expecting anything. I have to say it was an amazing experience. Definitely enjoyed my Time. They have multiple floors of celebrities displays. Some of my favorite included Abraham Lincoln, Princess Diana, Bruce Willis, Nicholas Cage and a few Others. I also loved the King Kong forest with the floor being like Dirt like, that was awesome. Tickets were $43 per person for the lowest price ticket which included the Marvel 4D movie. Which was short but awesome at the same time. It was like 10 minutes. Ill be adding pictures to this review of my favorite displays. But they have so much more....about 200+ in total. This is located in the Heart of Time Square on 42nd Street between 7th and 8th Avenue. Most Subways stop at 42nd Street but the closes is the A,C,E,1,2,3,7.P.S. - they do not take Cash Payments for Tickets. They have a Vending machine that will take cash and give you a Disposable Debit card to use to buy the tickets but its much easier to just just come with a Card.
Had a great time. Ive always wanted to go, never had a chance in any city. They are so realistic looking. And the range is awesome! Highly suggest going now that NY is open again!!!!
Was super fun! I thought it would be less fun because it’s mostly pictures but they have a scary ghost busters section that makes u feel like ur in a haunted house for a portion of it! It’s soo fun, I’m highly recommend. One of my favorites was seeing the avengers wax figures. Lots of interactive photo ops
I visited while I was walking around NYC & waiting to head to the airport. I loved seeing all the wax figures of people! My favorite one was of course Justin Bieber! I also enjoyed the Marvel characters and how big the area for them is inside! Loved it!
We took my son for his 7th birthday. We had a good time. No complaints!
This place is amazing. It has so many sections from sports to celebrities, history, and so many more. This place truly has something for everyone and they change their wax figures every 6-8 months so there can be different people. The place is extremely clean but the gift shop doesn’t take cash. I would recommend this place for anyone 13 and older but not the elderly since people always want to take pictures and it’s the environment has a very fast moving pace to it. Also for the disabled: we had to work our way down from the top floor by using the stairs so it wouldn’t really be good for them either
Historical and Modern Musuem in New York, huge collection or celebreties. Really fun to roam around worlds’s most powerful and highly popular guys, sometimes it takes a moment to appreciate how real those statues were. However price is a bit expensive for a single adult and few of the wax sculptors could have been made more real. Highly recommended tourist place in New York.
Very fun and interactive wax museum. Spent hours taking silly pictures and going through the attraction mazes they had throughout the exhibit. Definitely worth the visit. The hand wax molding was open too.
Amazing place to visit, takes a couple of hours to see all the areas of the building, would definitely visit again
Wow!! Family getaway in NYC! We loved Mme Tussauds NY. A must see family attraction. Kids will love all the stars.
So much fun for my tween daughters and I! The Marvel 4d show was fun too!!
Enjoyed posing with celebrities. The closing timings might differ from what’s shown online but it will take atleast 3 hrs to cover the entire place
Fun place to visit. Its advised to purchased general admission online. With all other purchases, Marvel movie included, etc, can be purchased at the place. General admission was about $30 something. The other prices went from $40 and up. Of course proof of vaccination and ID must be shown before entering.
We enjoyed alot this place. Clicked many pics. Well maintained.
I went with my wife and my 2y/o child and it was definitely an amazing experience. Staff were friendly too. The wax figures look real and not old like others comments mentioned and vary from politicians, singers, actors, show presenters, and sport players. Recommend and suitable for all ages. The only downside is that if you go with a stroller, you’ll be asked to unfold it and take with you up the stairs. And if you were to take the elevator, then you would miss 2 floors.In summary, my family loved this experience.Last tip, be ready with fully charged phones to take lots of pics.
A classic Madame Tussauds nothing special. AS part of the New York pass ist was ok, but Had not spent extra money in it
Well, pretty much same with the other Madame Tussauds in the world. Just added few hollywood actress. Theres gift shop inside if you want souvenirs. Parking is limited, or im the one dont know. Its on the main street few walk away from Times Square
Absolutely loved this experience, so many wax models, along with an interactive ride and a movie experience it makes for a fun day. Prepare to spend a few hours in here.
Such a cool place! Lots of cool exhibits. Skull Island and Jurassic Park were our favorite followed by the Marvel attractions.
We had a great visit on a rainy day. Im not very interested in Hollywood celebrities, but the place was well designed and realism was impressive. The 4d theater was quite cool. They also have some Victorias Secret girls and interesting public figures.
Really great experience!!!Well worth the price imo
This is an amazing place full of so many real life looking celebrities and dignitaries. There was way more to see than I expected! A must visit while in NYC.
Its a great attraction, albeit a little pricey
Last time I was here was last Friday November 26th, 2021 during Black Friday. I did buy the tickets with my own money but it was worth my own Black Friday gift. I totally recommend this place to anyone who loves Wax Museums like I do. You get to stand with your favorite celebrities and take photos with them. The ones I got to take photos with were Jackie Chan, Nicolas Cage, Donald Trump, George W. Bush, Al Roker, Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong, Jimi Hendrix, Rihanna, Selena Gomez, Derek Jeter, Carmelo Anthony, Eli Manning, Dorothy, Prince William and Kate Middleton, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Alicia Keys, Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, and more. This museum is one my favorite parts of New York City. If you love Madame Tussaud’s like I do, this place is a must! I hope to visit again!
Splendid details of an array of famous people. Superb creativity and great display. It was pricey but worth it
Amazing place, wax figures are so realistic. I highly recommend doing your wax hand; its a souvenir that you will always love. What I dont recommend is the VIP photo pass; you will be better taking your pictures yourself. And the Marvel Universe 4D, I think it depends on how much you like Marvel and in my opinion its more enjoyable to kids.
If you are in NYC, this is a must visit place. We booked general admissions and 4d marvel experience. Kids loved marvel experience more. All the statues are near to real life people, i was amazed to see the details captured by the artists. 2 to 3 hours are needed to enjoy all 5 levels. You will be tempted for photographs with each celebrity for sure. You can take souvenirs from gift shop if you like.
We visited this museum also in Amsterdam and I think in Amsterdam is more interactive what we liked more. But still very nice museum to visit and have fun
Came here on a trip a while back and this is Such a great museum. They have a wide variety of celebrity wax figures and they are so real and lifelike, I especially loved the Michelle and Barack Obama figures. I world definitely come back here again in the future. Probably one of my favorite museums.
So much fun!! I was blown away by how real the statues look. World leaders section was incredible!! What a great experience.
If youve got the New York Pass, give this a shot. Its kinda cool. I personally didnt care for it a whole lot but I know of people that liked it a lot. Recommend spending about 45 mins to an hour here so that you get an idea of what the museum is like. I wouldnt recommend taking picture with every single figure, just take picture with the ones you like mainly because of how long it might take if you decide to do so.
We went Easter Sunday and had a great time. The art of the wax sculpture is really amazing. There were many times that we were kind of freaked out b/c they looked so real. We didnt have to wait in long lines and it wasnt too crowded. We breezed right thru and enjoyed it. My favorite part was the presidents. That was really cool.
New stars every 3 monthsChildren will appreciate the marvel floor...
Pretty cool and a nice place to get out of the heat and sun!
Lets go, lets go, a super fun place to go to without having to drive to an amusement park. Sort off erie and amazing to see life like figures of living and non living famous people. They (the wax figures) appear so real and life like, sometimes you think theyre gonna move or wink at you. Just one hint, dont watch too many Twilight Zone marathons before you go! Truly amazing. Take lots of pix to show your friends. Enjoy.
So funny and amazing. Great time to hong out with friends and family!!
Its so real. They have the wax models set up by theme. Broadway, literature, news, world leaders, marvel, etc. You can take pictures with all the wax models. There are multiple ticket types. If you buy the day of, the cheapest ticket is $45 which includes the Marvel 4D movie. It isnt worth the price. It was pretty disappointing. The 4 is the seats vibrate or tingle with the movie but I barely felt anything at all. You can buy a $36 ticket without the movie online in advance. We were just walking by and decided to visit. We werent able to come back the following day so we didnt have the option of buying online.
This was a fantastic way to spend a couple hours in Times Square. Tons and tons of great photo opportunities. Most of the figures are so realistic. Would go back again in a heartbeat.
Oh my God! This is one of those places you must go before you die. Its just so amazing. Sometimes while you are inside if you see a random person not moving you wonder if its a statue or not lol. A good thing is that the change statues every once in a while. So you always get a new attraction.
Love the details on every single figure. Truly eerie and beautiful on some parts. I enjoyed the experience.
Fun place in Times Square. You can spend a couple of hours walking around browsing your favorite heroes and idols. Must see if you’re a Madame Tussaud’s fan.
Last time we visited this museum the number of celebrity’s they had out was very low. This time they had so many more out. Kinda feel like we got cheated on the last visit. It made up for it this time though. Was a better experience. Wish they had Carrie Underwood out. That was a disappointment! Happy to see Wendy Williams though!
Ive lived in NYC for nearly ten years and never felt touristy enough to visit this place. Finally went in with extremely low expectations, as I do with most touristy attractions in NYC, and it surprised me with a lot of content.Dont let the entrance fool you, this place is actually huge with multiple themed sections and various experiences, and its not just all about stardom and celebrities - they have a lot of political figures, authors, artists, scientists etc too.The only complain I could have is that the admission ticket is really pricey, nearly $50 a person. Imo it was almost worth it and I understand that having a huge place near Time Square probably contribute to a significant portion of this pricing.
The entrance may be a little bit expensive and they also have a few works that unable us to visit some parts of the museum but would totally recommend the experience
One of the best indoor attractions near Times Square in Manhattan. I will recommend to Includes Entry to MARVEL Universe 4D!
Pretty Cool experience Definitely should go. The staff were pretty friendly.I wish I remember the lady named up front walking in. She was awesome. Very help and explain the how things work in touring the place.
Very cool attraction! No issues whatsoever using the New York Pass!
Its my first time to visit there.Warm welcome in the main gate. Its really cool experience. Inside decoration oh my god its mindblowing. i really love it and enjoy a lott with celebrity its really my dream. Its really big fun place , you need minimum 3hours if you visit it properly.Lots of fun , everything really nice_ gift shop avalable and chocolate store really awesome , Best place for visit . 🌹
Such a fun time at Madame Tussauds. These statues look so real like I was really mingling with my favorite celebrities. Definitely worth the visit. Kudos!
Brought the kids here and they had a great time
This was my 2nd visit to this museum and as with many things in NYC, its also overpriced. What you get is basically is an opportunity to get pictures with a bunch of celebrities. But the wax figures are intricately made and they change the figures every now and then. They also have lots of them and itll take couple hours to go through all of them. However, the Marvel 4D show was underwhelming and total waste of money.
My family and I had a blast!! This was really fun to do with children, they enjoyed every level!!
Saturday was a busy day, because there were line outside of the museum. Three category ticket, price is little high. All too see is wax statue, there are some activity too, like magic mirror. 4d movie is a good attraction, but it is very short. Staff are loud to the visitors.
Super cool to visit. Definitely better then I expected. Apparently they change stuff every three months. It was cool that you had a elevator attendant for each floor and it was pretty linear. I loved all the characters. They are so life like.
Honest opinion. I feel like this was an underwhelming experience, as someone who lives in new york, constantly passing by Madame Tussaud’s, you want to go inside and see, greeted by staff who don’t seem to enjoy what they’re doing along with three price points which are pretty steep. Going with the basic package, around 40 dollars in march of 2022, you are given general admission along with a ticket to see the 4d movie, little annoying that you are forced to buy the movie ticket but whatever, the day we were there, the theater seemed to be closed, so the ticket went to waste anyway. Going through the whole museum and taking a good amount of pictures will take you about 1-1.5 hours even on a relatively busy day.
Coming to this museum was an amazing experience. We absolutely loved coming here.Be prepared to take lots of pictures
We purchased Big Bus tickets with the Madame Tussaud’s museum added on. We were denied at the museum because Big Bus did not print the museum tickets for us. We had a receipt showing we paid for the wax museum. We spoke with the manager who confirmed after looking at our receipt that we paid but he still would not let us in. “I know you paid but I can’t let you in” he said. He would not refund us. We are out $100. Absolutely horrible customer service skills. We walked away with our three disappointed kids. Stay away from this place.Update: 6/25/22. Still have not received a refund.
Best waxworks weve seen in the US. We had fun posing in pictures. Our grandkids loved our photos so next time they will be with us. Especially looking forward to it because they love the Superheroes!
We’ve been here back in 2012 and again in 2017. It was already awesome but a lot has improved. It was fun from beginning to end
Unmatched entertainment and fun for the entire family! Love this place! Such a wide variety of wax figures. Entertainers, poets, political figures, royals, celebrities, athletes and so much more. Can’t wait to visit again soon!
This place was awesome as we hung out with the Celebs...lol
Genuinely a phenomenal experience so much more lively and fun than I expected! They truly do a great job of making it such a unique must see attraction!
OK for a laugh, the statues werent as good as I thought. The young guy taking our pics on the way in seem very awkward bless him. Think we had walked around within 30mins! Worth visiting but dont put it high up on your attraction list.
Museum is good, bit closure timings g are too early even for long summer day. Also have rigid policies ,which so not allow new visitors to enter One hour before closure..highly disappointed not to get entry even after visiting at 3:05 pm ,just because Museum closes at 4:00 pm.
First time in a wax museum. Amazing detail! Loved it! My fave shah Rukh Khan!
Very well done, these wax statues will have you guessing and wondering why you cant see a pulse or their chest rising and falling. I was able to take picture with a lot of celebrities that Ill never meet for real. Its very clean and very easy to follow the route from start to finish.
A lot of fun, especially if this is your thing! Sculptures are remarkably life-like, and the Broadway section is appropriate and fun! Staff are very very friendly and helpful!
This is a cool place to check out on a Sunday afternoon, especially the marvel exhibit. The best part is that they keep rotating the figures to provide a fresh experience every few months.
We had as part of the NY Pass. Very fun and wife was over the moon that there were Bollywood actors she knew in the collection. I was happy I could see the wax Obamas and Trump since the DC location was closed. Would recommend to any visitors as an indoor and relaxing attraction in the busy NY vacation.
Good for those who has not visited any other Madam Tussauds museum.Usual exhibits of any wax museums.One can pose and click picture with many US famous personalities.
We enjoyed it very much, would go back again.
Had a great time taking pics with the stars from all walks of life.
I cannot recommend the experience as I didnt like it. Some of the areas inside are closed for remodelling, many of the figures are not very accurate in my opinion and also some of the displayed figures were unknown to us as they had an American focus. Good was that it wasnt very crowded.
We had a great time there even during the Covid-19 time period. I wish they had more wax figures of people I was looking forward to seeing. No matter what though it was an awesome experience, and my family had a great time there. The staff is EXTREMELY nice and helpful as well.
Few hits and many misses. The quality of wax work was not great as the resemblance in many artists was quite far off. The marvel 3d experience was an extra charge which should have need included in the original price itself as the entry tickets are not that cheap. It can be totally avoided as there are many better experiences to spend on in NYC. Madam Tussaud’s really needs to up their game.
A must visit if it is your first time. Very helpful and well coordinated staff.
It was great fun really enjoyed myself , recommend visiting with friends, family
Very interesting! The tour starts from the 9th floor. On the 5th floor you can play a virtual game with 7D effect. There is a 4D cinema on the third floor. I highly recommend! There will be many interesting impressions
****PHOTOSENSITIVITY WARNING!!****Ahhhh I had a chance to visit here and it was really cool, BUT there was NO flashing lights warning anywhere! Not even online! I had no idea I was walking into a flashing lights extravaganza!The current ghostbusters exhibit has really bad white and black flashing lights in the room with slimerthe room with the DJ has pretty harsh rainbow lights and flashing white lightsand the room with the runway has quick random camera flashesBe careful friends!!!
Pretty neat place to visit. Its crazy to see how real these wax figures are and to actually see their size is even more crazy. You see these celebrities on TV, and just think that theyre bigger in size, but when you actually see them in the wax form and how close to their size they represent is crazy. I thought it was neat to see the presidents in the mix. Take the time to make a stop here, especially if youre not from the general area
It was fun to finally go inside. Statue realness is seriously overrated. Clean and Friendly and just something to do. Certainly not worth $50 bucks pp, but hey, its NYC right??!!
Its very close to Time square and fun to visit! You can find very varied public figures there from music, politics, cinema ... The entry price is very reasonable and the place is very clean! Very nice !
Serena (in place of the 7D zombie/clown attraction) was so cheerful she honestly made my experience so much better! She was super kind and helpful to me and my family! Thank you again!
Nice pieces, but is a little dirty and need more maintenance the entire building
Same few people as the one in orlando florida (icon park) I visited 2021 was expecting to see variety of other celebrities etc. Now in 2022. But alot of same people. Very clean and nice bathrooms. Stroller friendly. Loved the dwayne (The rock) Johnson right outside infront of musame.
It has changed a lot in the last 6 years since I was here I cant save for the better but its different I think I enjoyed it more than last time I was here then I do now noun of activities or wax figurines to account for what you pay
They can have more exhibits and a bit more of entertainment. I just need more. I walked through the museum so quickly. Before I knew it, it was over. But still enjoyed.
This place is awesome as usual. Parts of collection get changed every six months. Staff is friendly and helpful. They also have a bar incorporated into the exhibition so you can sip your cocktails and mingle with celebrities. What is great now they let you touch the exhibits so you can take tons of cool photos.
1 star for their customer service. I booked the tickets online however my flight was canceled so we won’t be able to make it for the date we booked. Have been trying to reach their customer support to see if I could have our booking moved to a different date but I’ve been on hold for over an hour and still no response. Lesson learned: don’t book their tickets online.
Great display of statues. Mostly political and musical figures. The place seems pretty congested though. 5 floor in total to explore.
SO MUCH FUN. I thought it would be just wax statues sitting around like mannequins but this is a whole experience. My only complaint is that they need better crowd management bc one section gets swarmed and then a few minutes later its empty, and they could spread people out a little better to avoid this.
This is my 3rd time visiting, and by far the worst they had to offer in terms of inventory of wax sculptures. Lots of empty room particularly in the runway/fashion room. Also, they removed Prince!If youre looking to visit, I would wait a month or so in case theyre adding more sculptures because as of May 14th 2022, it was relatively lackluster compared to past visits (visited in 2014 & 2018 prior to this)
Very exciting and entertaining...the movie was epic
Visited a week before… very friendly people and happy to help you all the time. We had lots of fun. Even though it was a last minute plan due to rain, we had one of the best times here. It’s a good place to spend some 1-2 hours.
Spectacular. An individual copy of the people. Sometimes you are really confused with the people next to you. Its a very large area, taking 2-3 hours. At the end, it was a 5D cinematic show, and it was beautiful. We traveled with the children and we all had a lot of fun. This was very neat to see, the work is amazing. I am glad we went and recommend you go! The staff was goodYou are at Time Square, you can also visit that area on exit.
LOVED this place. Highly recommend. Friendly staff
Lovely experience and high quality figures. They made it easy to take selfie. Overall, I liked the museum.
A huge dissapointment, visited as it was raining and this was included in my New York City Explorer Pass.Owing to the poor weather it was busy which is fair enough, but the queue is made worse by the fact they are trying to force you into upsold photo opportunities.After which there is pretty much no staff and it is absolute chaos.At the Marvel 4D experience you just come to a closed door and its up to you to work out where to go next.Coupled with no queuing systems in place for any of the remainder of the experience this is without doubt one to avoid.
Madame Tussauds is a great art exhibit that displays statues of celebrities and icons that greatly influence our culture. It is definitely worth the admission ticket.
Never been before, we went on a school trip it was nice staff friendly.
A lot of celebrities can be found. Several floors but still very crowded. Not always easy to take your funny pictures without being disturbed.
Great place. Time passes unnoticed there. All celebrities are just as alive. Very interesting and we really liked it. It’s good to come there with the whole family. You will not regret the money spent. A lot of fun and lots of beautiful celebrity photos. Thank you
ENDLESS lime at the elevator. Theyre only letting 4 people on at a time. Nobody cares. Restroom is on the 9th floor, accessible only with tge mentioned elevator. Not worth $45/person
Eventhough I was sceptic at first, it is great fun and excellently done. The exhibitited people are very realistic and set up in a very good and fun way.A must when being in NYC
Had a great time, 2nd visit and will definitely go again. Had tea with the Queen and did wax sculptures of hands. Very, very cool.
Great fun on a Wednesday in NYC. As with all tourist attractions, your wallet will take a hit. Close to $100 for 2 adults. I don’t know how people with several kids can afford it. It wasn’t easy to always figure out which way you were supposed to be going. It was very hot in there.
One of the New York Times Square tourist attractions that you can’t miss.it is especially a good place to visit with your family and friends with a lot of fun activities.Very nice experience.Highly recommended.
Good, but I feel its not worth 36 dollar. Some wax sculptures were little damaged but on overall it was very well made and preserved. The 4d marvel was boring and it wasnt actually clear what was that. The mirror room and some other attractions were quite nice, but since it was super full (apparently there was a school trip there) a lot of statues were inaccessible.
My first time in a madame tussauds was in this one in NYC. What a great experience and perfect way to relax while still seing some of New York sights.Great for families and couples alike.
A lot of fun for our family with kid.
The four stars are because I thought there would be even more celebrities than there actually were. I always wanted to visit this museum as I heard so much about it. I enjoyed it a lot, but was expecting even more.
This place is amazing so much to see and do the 4D shoting ride was. So cool i loved it will be back with my family
Loved this place. There is so much to see. Great experience. The figures are spot on. I enjoyed the drink selections. Each floor is decorated awesomely. The store has so many items to choose from very cost-effective. I loved the extra care the staff took for everyone.
I didn’t even go inside but I posed with the Rock outside and has so much fun. I ain’t about to pay $40 to see fake celebrities
One of the best places in NYC to go for indoor entertainment. It’s really fun to visit Madame Tussaud’s NY , if u are a New York resident ticket is really cheap, non residents have to pay almost double. You can go with family or friends. The mirror part was amazing. In this pandemic they maintain social distances inside . In this winter you can visit Madame Tussaud’s NY.
I gotta admit this place was way more fun than I expected a wax museum to be! All kinds of statues spread over 4 or 5 floors. A fun time to be had by all, kiddos and grown ups too. Lines moved pretty fast throughout. Dont pay full price, there are discounts and passes to be had everywhere.
It was so amazing all the wax figures 😍 I had a great !
Amazing place. Visited one at Amsterdam and this one at NYC. Both are great. Will definitely visit it again when there is a chance. Very detailed wax model. I enjoyed reviewing them. Special thanks for Avengers and 4D cartoon. I liked it.
I thought I was gonna meet a bunch of celebrities but they looked really lifeless so I think the people who run the place stole their soles and put them on display. anyway it was cool to meet Taylor swift and jimmy Kimmel and Obama, they didnt talk back though, but this is a great place :)
My hubby and i had a blast...it was both of our first time here. We really loved it. Next time were gonna bring the kiddos.
How can you not love this place?? They bring the stars to you. Most of them look so realistic.I think its a good value also for everything you get. These people really know how to make your day special!The Undead Experience was so cool and so was the Marvel mini movie. Ive never had zombie blood sprayed on me before. (Wasnt real and didnt stain, Silly Willie)Your subconscious doesnt know the difference between reality and illusion, so Id recommend taking all the pics you can with the stars you like and just look at them after you leave here. Anything that makes you feel good is a good thing ☺
It was a great experience, I went in New Years I really enjoyed every moment it was very crowded because of the peak season but entry was smooth, so many celebrities statues has been placed and very neat and clean.
Was an amazing experience, well worth the money. Make sure you pay a bit extra for the 4D movie, cause it was really good. It was a good balance of all the genre of the entertainment, sports and media. A MUST VISIT if coming for the first time to Time Square
I visited it 5 years ago, Im not sure if all characters are still there, but it was a really nice and interesting experience . How perfect some work could be.
My husband took me to this place and it was marvelous first time ever that I’ve been here and I had a wonderful time time
Since childhood I was listening about this place & literally it was my wish to go there & then finally I have visited this place. Very beautiful place. You will admire the creativity of this place. Probably one time you will think these are not wax sculptures but real persons. Its building is bit small & should be expanded & I remember coupon is more than 40 dollars but its a must visit place atleast once in a life. Lot of fun there.
Super awesome! Very fun to go through and take pictures with all the wax figures. It’s a nice and easy walk through the museum. definitely check it out!!
Splendid place, certainly great for the whole family. Attention at the place is fantastic... Id only recommend not forgetting your card, due to the place not receiving cash
I went here on a weekday and there was barely any lines or people there, I recommend traveling here on a weekday if you want to take your time seeing all of the wax figures without being pressured to move fast since others are behind you. Pictures come out really great and it’s an awesome experience! You will see how most of the celebrities you may know are very tall in real life, it shocked me lol. But all in all, definitely worth visiting here, especially if you have the New York Pass (Madame Tussauds comes included)!
Had a great experience. The museum was amazing all wax statues looked so real. Tried the 4D experience and it was great also. Did not try the Ghostbusters maybe next time. Will definitely visit again sometime soon.
We were first in the museum pretty much the day we went and it definitely paid off, no cue straight to the top of the stairs and off we went to the lift. It was great visit with lots of different characters to see. The museum takes about an hour and has an interesting mix of characters. The ghostbuster virtual reality was fantastic would really recommend this to anyone visiting. Great exhibits and well worth visiting.
Have not been here in about 15 years. The place was so much fun and the have a wide range of wax people for every walk of life. My daughter and I had a blast. I totally recommend this place for everyone.
Lots of great art and good location. Friendly staff and easy to follow floors. Thrilling experience with 4D marvel movie and some VR games to spike up the excitement. Took pics with some of my favorite celebrities lol. You need to explore Madame Tussauds when visiting NYC.
Shorter than expected. Start on 7th floor and work way down. Bit you seem to skip a level and end is at level 4.Some were really great and some were somewhat look-a-like .We spend some time and looked into all corners. You can spend about 2-3 hours here. But not all day.I am curious how other cities hold up against the one in the big apple.
Planned a girls weekend trip. We had a great time. You needed to show proof of vaccinations which was fine. We would recommend
Has versions famous celebrities statues and some politicians with some cool goat busters theme play.
It was awesome! We had a great time and we all loved the wax images that were on display. We took so many pictures and videos as well. Staff was very friendly. It is worth every dollar spent
Located near Times Square, thought it is an iconic attraction place in the centre of the city but feel a bit disappointed comparing to all the Madame Tussauds I had visited in other countries. Price entrance by walk-in is more expensive than buy online. Actually, no point to pay so much , just take pictures with wax dolls because whatever pictures you taken, still fake and unrealistic.
Its always worth and funn to visit Madame Tussauds.
The Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum was a very cool and fun experience. We got to know how some of the superstars look like in real life. We took so many pictures. There’s a very nice environment. This is one of the places that you can’t miss when visiting the city of New York. One of its many wonders!
Amazing place in the newyork city..We had great time with full enjoyment and you will enjoy so much by clicking photos with your favorite celebrities.
My daughter really wanted to go, I was not so excited. However we bought the full package with zombie game and animated movie and we all had good time. We were told the change was figures every 6 months. Wax figures for the whole family.
Ultra Realistic characters and awesome pictures with each one of them. Dont miss Madamme Tussauds when you are at NYC and its way better with the New York Pass, You will save a lot of money and time in the Big Apple
Very nice experience. Lots of fun. You can take pictures with wax figures (leaders, singers, movie stars) and these will be a beautiful memory. Some of the performances are perfect, others a little smaller. Good markings and great information regarding figures. Find out something new. Very interesting. Visiting somewhere between two and three hours.
The wax museum itself was great. I only gave it 3 stars because half of the add ons we purchased online, which is recommended to do on their website, they didnt even have. We spent close to an additional $50 for guidebooks and the digital photo package. Guidebooks out of stock and never even found the things to take the pictures. No employees walking through the attraction so couldnt ask anyone.
This place is Amazing for wht there Showing here i Really Enjoy myself with my Daughters Awesome 👌,
I used the New York past to access the place, but even though in the past it is mentioned that the express lane can be used to get inside. They did not honor that part. We had to wait around 30 to 40 minutes outside the place. But anyway, the exhibits were quite well placed and were of good quality. The place is well maintained. All together a good experience. Recommended.
Second time visiting, just as intriguing as the first time. I still cant get over how realistic these figures are, and at quick glance you wouldnt realize they arent real. We did not opt for the films, just the museum tour. Small bar in first large room. The 9/11 Memorial was very nicely done. Plenty of new figures from my first visit, and the staff said they change every 3-6 months. Tickets: We purchased the New York Pass. Simply walk up to ticket counter, they scan and give you the tickets, nice and easy, no wait even though it was around 5:30. Vaccine cards/ID checked at door. Staff is friendly. Highly recommended.
Madame Tussauds is an amazing place for family days out and just for a place to look around and chill out for a bit. Almost all the different models are amazingly built and amazingly detailed and amazingly displayed. Although some of the models were shocking at how badly they were presented to look as some celebrities. But other than that, I had an amazing time there, the different shows they put on and the different moving models show how much time and effort has gone into these models. All in all, this is a great place for a holiday and I would definitely recommend.
Very impressed by the wax figures! We got tickets on Groupon so it was way cheaper and we enjoyed taking pics or standing next to the figures as they looked so real
No one can skip visiting. World known place.I enjoyed a lot.
Awesome wax statues. The marvel movie was sub-par, 3d seemed broken for our entire family and the story was pretty bad. Worth the visit for the statues only.
Indian Celebrities where not realistic, but over all it was great time.
I came withy 14 year old and she loved it. It was great seeing different public figures; ranging from politicians, royal family, and entertainers. There were many she never heard of and we could talk about them, but surprisingly she knew a great deal of who these ppl were. There were lots of opportunities to take photos even if you dont have a camera. My phone died during it so this was helpful.
First time and it’s worth the money and experience. I loved it! I wished it wasn’t over crowded though It was a weekend. I’m sad that I missed a floor and a few sections because it was big. Saw many of my favourites actors and actresses. Definitely worth the wait in the line which is about 10 minutes not even.
It didnt have as many wax figures as I thought it would be for my visit to be longer than what it was even though I watched a 10 minute video and 4D of the superheroes. It was a bit cold in there as well. Staff was pleasant enough.
You can find statues from bollywood and all the way to Hollywood from major political figures to sports players. Loved it!
My granddaughter had a blast. There was 6 floors to have fun on and something new on all of them.
Three of us went and we all enjoyed it and the youngest is 14. He didnt know a lot of the people but still enjoyed walking around. We used a pass which included access so we didnt need to pay but if you dont have a pass like ours it could be expensive for a family. The access we had allowed us around but there was hand sculpting (putting your hands in plaster) and a zombie thing which we didnt do. For our access it was about $34 each the full package would have been about $60 each. Well worth a walk round depending on your budget could depend what ticket you get.
I had so much fun. I knew most of the wax figures but my favorite part was making my wax hand and the ghost busters. If you don’t do anything else do the Ghost busters. I can’t wait go back to New York because I’m definitely coming back. Disappointed that the 4D marvel movie wasn’t working and I didn’t receive a refund for it
It was a fun experience. Not sure if I missed some of the wax but it didnt seem to be a lot. Also there were some people I was unsure of and couldnt find a name anywhere. The Madame Tussauds in Orlando was much better in that regard.
Its a beautiful museum and must see. However couple girls / staff where very rude and unwelcoming. People from all over the world come to see this museum, I hope if they did a better job in vetting their employees
The wax figures were very life-like. Figures are switched out every three to four months so you can always revisit yet have a different experience each time. Employees were very nice. I will be back.
Only total boredom or an excess of tourist cash should drive anyone to go here. Pro tip: spend the time cutting your toenails instead.

2022-02-22This place is amazingly fun. We had such a great time walking through the exhibits and meeting various staff members, two that come to mind are Jade and Jesus. The rotating staff was amazing because they were so personable, friendly and sweet.We enjoyed many of the different themes and the transition from larger to smaller rooms, as well as the colors, settings and placement of figures. We also participated in the Marvels 3D and Carnival shooting game. These games were both interactive and very fun (including the scary not-so-scary one). All in all, the place is extremely large, wonderful, and worth visiting again. I heard that the exhibits change around every 6 months so we cant wait to come back and see the updates.

2022-04-21Absolutely loved this place! It is unbelievably realistic how some of the celebrities look. Only issue was I was a little agitated that I was forced to purchase an admission ticket with the 4D Marvel movie, I only wanted the regular admission but I don’t regret it! The Marvel movie was amazing, between the effects to the blowing wind and something poking your back was an unforgettable experience. Definitely recommend!

2022-06-03It’s very worth going. They have different areas for different characters. Very impressive and catchy! Make sure your phones/cameras are fully charged as the wax characters look so real (some may be prettier than they actually are), want to take pictures with them all 😄😄

2022-06-11Loved it! Better than the one in Vegas. We paid for the hand molds separately and that was a fun experience as well! The staff were all very friendly and the restrooms were exceptionally clean. I will visit again if I go back to NY!

2022-03-01First time exploration. Pretty decent!If you are a movie fan and specially marvel, they have one whole floor dedicated for it. The short movie is good too.They say- all statues get changed/replaced every six months so we can visit again.I might not be going back. But for once, it’s good to click pictures.Pretty expensive souvenir and pictures!

2022-06-21I must say that I had an absolutely great experience at the NY Madame Tussauds. The staff was amazing and Frankie was the best. He was funny and witty and made the tour even more enjoyable. The 4D movie experience was the highlight of the tour for me and we just kept taking photos. They have snack stations, it’s both adult and kid friendly and all in all is a magical place. I highly recommend visiting there.

2022-05-18First time visit and came here for the regular plus paid extra for the Marvel 4D experience. I loved it here: great photo ops everywhere from the magazine cover, runway, and staged scenes w the wax figures. The levels were well thought out and glad to know they switch the figures and scenes around ever so often I was told. The short 4D movie is a nice experience and tribute to Marvel.Some figures need work however (that is not MLK Jr., Will Smith, and a few others). Also, some areas were a bit hot given the amount of people that could be on a level. And lastly, the photo at the beginning seems a bit too pricey (32 for a pic is a lot given thats almost the price of the ticket itself). All in all, I had a fun memorable time!

2022-03-28Super fun place to visit and see all the fun figures. I will say this is something that would be better to go with someone or a small group. I went solo and there were a lot of fun photo opportunities, but I didnt want to bother someone everytime to get a fun photo. But would definitely recommend!
