We checked out Madame Tussauds in London and it didn't quite hit the spot for us. However, our recent visit to its counterpart in Blackpool was a total game-changer! We headed there as a group of five during a quiet spell, and boy, did we have a blast. Here are some top tips to make your visit just as epic: ✅ Snag your tickets online in advance as part of a multi-attraction deal; it's a serious money-saver. 💡Don't stress about pre-booking your visit slot; you can easily switch it up later. ✅♿ The Access Card scheme here is top-notch for accessibility. 💡Book online to make the most of it. ✅♿ Need to avoid the stairs? No problem! There's a lift ready and waiting for you. ✅♿ The attraction has some great rest spots strategically placed around. Our favorite? A cozy café designed to look like the Rovers Return bar, complete with characters from the show! ✅ The space is roomy, the layout is spot on, and it's all about interactive fun. ✅ There's something for everyone — from Royalty and A-list celebs to Marvel, sports, music and more. ✅ Best part? It's not packed, so no endless lines and plenty of time for those Insta-worthy snaps. ✅ We loved how hands-on everything was. Picture this: 💡Jamming out on a replica of The Beatles' drum kit. 💡Testing out the VR Rollercoaster if you're feeling adventurous. 💡Pose for epic 3D snaps with Spiderman and Ironman 💡Tackle some "I'm a Celebrity" challenges. ✅ The new Marvel exhibit was a hit with my son, featuring Ironman, Spiderman, Wonder Woman, Groot, and more. ✅ Plan for a full afternoon; trust me, you'll want to soak it all in. ✅ It's totally family-friendly, with every exhibit accessible and no boring off-limits areas. This is now on my top things to do in Blackpool! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

I didnt find this as entertaining as I had expected, yes there were some good models but some were awful and others were missing. How you can have Ant sat there at the I'm a celebrity desk without Dec baffles me. Who went to rehab again? We went at a weekend and it was very busy as you would imagine but what made things worse was the fact that some lifts were out of order and the queues were ridiculous to use them. Having a pram, I had no choice but to carry it up and down the stairs or i think tensions could have boiled over as you were simply waiting around too long for a working lift. People were trying to jump ahead of you. I certainly didnt feel the £55 I spent for my family was value for money. I did not expect the mannequins to start talking to me but I felt rushed going around the place and because it was so busy we lost that sense of fun that you would normally get. That said we took some pictures and I'm sure others would have had a better experience but do check if you have a pram and before you go on a weekend if the lifts are working, otherwise you are in for an experience that you would rather forget.

what to Madame Tussaauds on Saturday afternoon with family we had a great time meeting the lifelike celebrities they look so real amazing work must go into putting the collections together. The strictly come dancing area was really good you are able to pick up the wooden paddles and made it look like your giving out your score after watching a performance. Also good was the take me out where you can put in your Name in the box so it shows up at the front so you can have a friend take your photo like your one of the contestants . Towards the end it takes you to Coronation Street and this is fantastic as you can have a drink in the Rovers Return as its a real bar with some of the lifelike Actors dotted around the pub prices at the bar are good not over priced. Where else can you go and be able to stand next to Ken Barlow of sit next to Deirdre Would like to see more ethnic soap actors represented

Decent experience visiting Madame Tussauds Blackpool. I was able to get a discounted rate for £13, I think it was due to it being later in the day or they were just simply running a discount for the day which was nice as I expected it to be a lot more expensive. The experience was cool, I hadn’t been to a Tussauds before. I wouldn’t say some are the best wax figures out there however it was a fun way to spend some time in Blackpool. There were lots of opportunities throughout the venue to stop for a drink and snack. For some reason I think I was under the impression that there may have been stands to be able to put your phone on to be able to take photos with a phone timer on etc. especially when visiting on your own so it was tricky to take photos sometimes. Certainly worth a visit - the staff were all lovely too.

We had a really fun time here. With all the themed rooms it makes it feel more special. There was Dancing with the stars, Doctor who, Celebrity get me out of here, Celebrity juice, David Attenborough, Prince William and Kate, Mo Farah, Muhammed Ali, Coronation street, Music section with Britney spears, Lady gaga, The Beatles and many others, The big new part was a Marvel section with the Iron man, Thor, Hulk, Spiderman, Rocket, Gruut and Captain Marvel, my biggest disappointment was no Captain America. I could of not bothered with any of the above to just see that one. The areas pretty cool with each one having some sort of activity, so you don't have to blast round you can spend some time in there doing all the little bits. If you have time to burn this is a good place to do it.

I was supposed to be going up the Tower, but it got cancelled with 48 hours notice. I was offered to swap my tickets for Madame Tussauds, which was a simple process. Honestly, it's not entirely my vibe. I can appreciate that they have tried to get figures of people/characters from a wide range of media, but it still felt slightly underwhelming. The Marvel area was more interactive and interesting, with clever use of props to amplify the Marvel setting. I did go by the wax hand counter and purchase myself and my partner's hand cast, which was a fun experience, and the staff were very friendly throughout. I would recommend if you're into your celebrity icons/binge media, otherwise, you're not missing much.
