POINT OF INTEREST

Madame Tussauds Orlando

8387 International Drive, Orlando, Florida

Walk down the red carpet for an afternoon at Madame Tussauds in Orlando. Here, guests are able to find out how they measure up against sports icons, strike a pose with a pop princess, shake hands with a smiling Barack Obama, and take a selfie with Einstein. The museum poses TV and film stars next to music legends, along with well-known pop culture personalities.

At this Madame Tussauds location, visitors can view the incredible level of detail needed to make these lifelike wax replicas. Creating a wax statue requires taking hundreds of body and face measurements with calipers and measuring tapes, after which artists sculpt the perfect mold. Gluing on each hair individually, painstakingly painting facial features, and recreating every last wrinkle ensures that the wax figures end up achieving astonishing realism. Combine a visit to Madame Tussauds with other attractions at Orlando’s Icon Park with a 2- or 3-attraction pass.

  • The museum is wheelchair accessible (there are no wheelchairs available on site though), and seeing eye dogs, guide dogs, and hearing eye dogs are permitted.
  • You can explore the museum in about 45 minutes to an hour.
  • Madame Tussauds offers free passes to Florida residents who are grade-school teachers.
  • Upgrade your visit by making and taking home your own wax hand souvenir; guests must be nine years or older to make their wax hand.
