  Madame Tussauds New York es una atracción divertida y muy turística, ideal para fotos con figuras de cera sorprendentemente realistas. La visita es dinámica, con salas temáticas y personajes del cine, la música y la cultura pop. Suele haber mucha gente y la entrada es cara, pero ofrece una experiencia entretenida en pleno Times Square. Perfecto para quienes buscan un plan ligero y fotogénico.

  We spent 5-days in New York, in August 2023, and were lucky to hear about the New York Pass by Go City. We selected the New York Pass Explorer that allowed us to select the number of attractions we wanted to visit during our stay and offered up to 50% off normal admission prices. We were staying in Mid Town and found ourselves by Madame Tussauds at around 8pm. My previous experiences of wax works have always left me feeling underwhelmed but my wife and son wanted to visit. Last entry was at 9pm but the ticket attendant was friendly and helpful, confirming that we not only had time to view all the attractions but also catch the Marvel Universe 4D Movie (included with our passes) before closing. Immediately on entering, I realised that the wax works were much better quality than those I’ve seen previously and the celebrity effigies were much more relevant and engaging for the whole family. In addition, the celebrity figures were positioned in settings with backdrops and lighting that made for fantastic photo opportunities. This was really well considered and executed. My wife wanted to be photographed with the likes of Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Harry Styles, Ed Sheeran, Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt. My son loved all of the TV sets and Marvel characters (especially Stan Lee). Personally, I was happy to have a picture taken alongside Lord and Lady Baden-Powell (the respective founders of Scouts and Guides). Because there was fewer people towards the end of the evening we were able to see the wax works and watch the 4D Movies in around an hour and a half. The Madame Tussauds in London might have the privilege of being the original (opening in 1835). However, the New York location is the definition of an ‘attraction’ and, in my opinion, is a must for the 60 million visitors a year that visit Time Square.

  This place is such a rip off and waste of time. Such a tourist trap, which I knew to some extend but was hoping it would surprise me. Whatever you do, if you still want to visit, don't buy ANY extras. The photo pass is two photos, digital, in two locations and you don't know that up front. You could easily this with your phone. The fast track option is just an opportunity to pass the line to enter the museum itself. We went on a Sunday during holiday season and there was no line, and completely wasted money. The exhibits are ok but not worth the price of admission. Even my young daughter, didn't get into it. So disappointed because there are much better things to do in nyc.

  Mein Besuch im Madame Tussauds in New York war wirklich ein Highlight! Die Ausstellung ist super aufgebaut und die Wachsfiguren sind unglaublich realistisch – teilweise musste ich wirklich zweimal hinschauen. Es macht total Spaß, sich frei zu bewegen, Fotos zu machen und mit den Figuren zu posieren. Dadurch wirkt alles sehr lebendig und interaktiv. Besonders gut hat mir gefallen, dass es verschiedene Themenbereiche gibt, sodass für jeden etwas dabei ist – von Filmstars über Musiker bis hin zu historischen Persönlichkeiten. Die Zeit ist wortwörtlich wie im Flug vergangen, weil es so viel zu sehen gab und man einfach Spaß hatte. Das Personal war außerdem freundlich und die Stimmung insgesamt sehr entspannt. Ein tolles Erlebnis, das ich absolut weiterempfehlen kann – ideal für Familien, Freunde oder einfach alle, die New York besuchen und etwas Besonderes erleben wollen!

  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The place is awesome! There are lots and lots and LOTS of wax figures – too many to count - from actors and singers to politicians and fictional characters. It’s such a fun mix that everyone will find something to enjoy or find fascinating. A few sections were closed during our visit, and some of the “tenants” were missing, but there was still plenty to see - easily enough to fill a couple of hours. I especially enjoyed the horror exhibit (my kids… not so much 😅). The highlight, though, came right after we left, when my 8-year-old told me: > “Dad, you can plainly see that those are not real persons.” > I asked how he could tell, and he said: > “Because none of them have pimples, moles, or scars – they’re too perfect!” > Can’t argue with that logic. The Marvel simulator was okay, but after Disney and Universal, our kids have high standards for that kind of thing. I’d rate it a 6/10 – still fun, but a bit outdated and surtenly not the main attraction. Overall, a great experience and absolutely worth visiting while in New York City!
