About Madame Tussauds
Inside the attraction
Figures are grouped into themed zones covering film, music, sport, royalty and history. Interactive exhibits and rides sit alongside the waxworks, and posing for photos is part of the fun. Younger children may find the Chamber of Horrors too scary, so plan the route with them in mind. Most visitors spend two to three hours inside.
