The author describes Madame Tussaud's as being "an enclosed amusement park" and describes the experience as being "a weird, moving, sometimes terrifying (to children) collage of exhibitions".
The author gives a breif history of Madame Tussuad's herself and states that "she moved her original museum from Paris to England in 1802" and she also took "the death masks from the guillotined heads of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette" which are also on display at the wax museum.
The author states that Madame Tussaud's wax museums have been opened up around the world but none of them have the same "

The author warns that "you'll probably have to queue" for this exhibition of wax look-a-likes and it's "likely you'll pay through the nose". The author is not impressed by the idea of "looking at celebrities made of wax ", nor does she favour "hanging out with wax serial killers". She concludes however, that "kids seem to like it".

Michael and his wife visited the wax museum and was "hugely disappointed". Apart from the "very long queues" to get in, once inside the queues continued "just to see another wax model". He says of the Chamber Live exhibit that it's the "worst thing I have ever visited". Not only because he had to "pay extra" for it but once inside they just "walk around a dark room" within which are some "really annoying (and very bad) actors" attempting to scare them. He found it "very intimidating" and just wanted to "get out of their or head butt them!".
He sums up by saying his visit was "vastly over p

keshnik, author of this Trustedplaces review rates Madame Tussaud's 4 out of five stars. After explaining briefly how to get there and what you'll see ("wax lookalike of celebrities and famous personalities"), he states that they are "painstakingly made" and give as a result that they "look very much like their real selves". Of course, the wax museum is the "perfect place" to photograph your favourite stars.
Within the museum there is a "history of Madame Tussaud" section and a "very good train ride". The reviewer warns that the tickets were "very expensive".

Chasity, the author of this review rates this museum a full five stars, which is the top rate on Yahoo Travel. After her first visit here, she claims "I will definitely stop there from now on". As her title explains she "loved it"!
She enjoyed it so much saying that she could spend hours "looking around and taking pictures" of famous people. She suggests to go there in the morning of a week day as it "tends to get RIDICULOUSLY packed". She warns that it's "a bit pricy", but is "definitely worth it".
Joe-Collins91 is a fan of Merlin Entertainment attractions, which the London Wax museum belongs to. That said, he explains that whilst some of the groups attractions are great, this one leaves you "feeling perhaps as cold as the weather in Blighty". It is "pretty expensive" but despite the "hefty price" it seems that people "frequently" rave about it.
Said to be one of London's "top tourist attractions" it is actually an "ordeal with queues". The reviewer expresses that the "annoying tradition" is to jam pack "as many people inside at a given time as possible" making a visit feel like "an

mimi95, author of this Ciao review gives the wax museum a rating of 2 and a half out of 5. She went with some of her family from Brazil who "insisted on visiting Madame tussauds wax work". Although it was an "absolute regret at first" due to hours of queuing under the sun waiting to get "inside into the shade", when they did, she "was shocked" to see that the queuing continued and that she "felt absolutely dreadful" and wanted to leave.
After hours of queuing she got their tickets which she "thought were pretty expensive", however once through the doors, she was "dazzled the place was am

The author describes Madame Tussaud's as a "wonderful attraction" with "fantastically presented" waxworks. The writer thinks the museum is "Intersting" as well as a "Fun" and "a great way to meet the stars", but adds that you will need your "shoving elbows ready" because "inconsiderate people will try to ruin your visit".
The author further says that "the waiting time can get over 2 hours" to get an entrance ticket. He also thinks that a visit is "quite pricey" and this is reflected in his value for money rating where he awarded the museum with just one of 5 possible stars.

John, the author of this review, had already visited the museum "in the 70's with school". He decided to take his kids there for a day out but was "deeply disapointed". Amongst the "hoards of people" there were some "very inpolite" visitors who did a fair bit of "pushing and shoving".
He was especially disappointed when he got to the chamber of horrors which he says has become "some gimp show" where he found "actors trying to scare people very poorly". That was the "final straw". The "dumbed down ride" which seemed to be invented for "non-english speaking tourists" was the "equivalent of

Jazze, the author of this review, rates the wax museum with a full 5 star rate. There is "So much to see!" and the exhibits are "overall good quality". The author found that it was "effective, tourist friendly and controlled" despite that there were "So many people!".
Amongst the waxes there are "hundreds of celebrities" to take photos of, there are so many that it is "difficult to spot your favorite". What actually impressed the author "the most" was the wax of Morgan Freeman which looked so real it was "creepy almost!".
There are many "cool and funny things" to see and at the end of

dreamer87, author of this review, had a reduction for this attraction paying "£15 each instead of the £25.50". On the Monday the author went with her four friends, "there was no queue". She explains the museums layout which is in sections and that in each section there is normally "an interactive part". The reviewer did some "star spotting" and found waxes such as the one of Jim Carrey "particularly good". She mentions that you can sit in the "sofa of Jonathon Ross", for example.
For the majority the waxes were "very good and looked very real" although there were some that were "disappointi

The author describes Madame Tussaud's as "the world's premier exhibition of lifelike waxwork models of celebrities" and states that it is one of the "busiest sights" in London.
The writer gives "Top billing" to the Chamber of Horrors where you can expect to come eye to eye with "glassy-eyed" murderers. He continues wondering why people would want to queue up at one of the "most expensive" museums in London and comes to the conclusion that it must be either for "ghoulish prurience" or "the thrill" of having their photo taken with a VIP.
