The exhibition at Madame Tussauds was just mega nice! 😍 Everything is really interesting - from the incredibly lifelike wax figures to the interactive design in the various themed areas. I was particularly impressed by the 4D movie theater, which was really fun not only visually, but also with movement and effects. 🎬💥 The ride through London's past was also a real highlight - like a little journey through time in a classic black cab. 🕰️🚖 The whole thing was not only entertaining, but also educational and realized with great attention to detail. Conclusion: Highly recommended - for all ages!

It was great to see the different wax statues , I was transported into a different time in history . It was quite a knowledgeable and exciting experience. I really enjoyed looking at the Winston Churchill statue , history has always been a keen interest therefore it was interesting to look at the leaders who shaped our futures. Moreover I think that statue needs to be given more importance it should be placed in a more central place as I believe that it's quite easy to miss! Overall it was an exciting experience and the ticketing process was also very smooth.

On the one hand, I think it's nice that online bookings make admission much better organized, but on the other hand I had to download another app. No option to pay if you are severely disabled. The characters were very good, but sometimes it was very slow. The music in the sections was simply too loud. The organization with the indoor track, the cinema and the possibility to get photos of yourself was also very good.
