Caroline KimaniFebruary 17, 2013Always wanted to visit never got a chance but glad i finally did it was alot of fun. Very different from Hollywood and Vegas loved the historical figures and the Presidents' gallery. Must see in DC.
Renee MillerAugust 5, 2013This was free with our Big Bus Tours and was very interesting. Yes the majority of figures are political, but it is Washington. Most of the figures were very life-like, I was really impressed.
Black Family ReunionsMarch 27, 2016One of the few commercial museums in WDC for which you'll have to pay an admission fee. Totally worth it to see the lifelike historic and pop culture figures and hear more about how they build them.
The Ritz-CarltonJanuary 9, 2017For those visiting DC take time to visit the President Gallery in Madam Tussand's wax gallery. The display features replicas and history of past US presidents.
Steven MillerSeptember 10, 2012Discounted tickets online and Fridays are Redskin Days. Wear redskins team apparel or colors and recieve $10.00 admission
G LJanuary 1, 2016From Washington to Obama. You can find all US presidents and also, icon stars and very influence people.
InternsROCK!June 3, 2013Interning in D.C.? Grab a key tag from The Washington Center and take 50% off admission during InternsROCK! June 7 - 16th 2013. internsrockdc.com #InternsROCK- Steven MillerSeptember 10, 2012Cameras or fully charged camera phone will be a necessity for this trip. After all where else can you interact with Celeb's like this
Karen Oates-JacksonMarch 19, 2011Third Madame Tussaud's I've been too...and by far the worse! New York and Las Vegas are way better and worth the fee to get in. Go to one of the Smithsonian Museums instead...plus they're free!
Insider PerksMarch 1, 2012Most of the wax figures here are political figures but that should be expected in Washington DC. More than photo opportunities this can be a historical learning experience if you let it. Read more
Re📈September 28, 2016Not like the one I've seen in London but if you haven't been there then go check this one out 👍🏼
Washington BladeJuly 12, 2011Ever want to shake hands with the President, how about all of the Presidents? You can find wax figures of almost every important American political figure here!
Heather GMarch 6, 2012Wait for deals online. Not worth the $21 admission fee. Very short, understaffed. We were out in about 30 minutes. The best figure is Alex Ovechkin! Visit the location in NYC, it is awesome.
Vladimír JelínekNovember 10, 2013The most funniest figure is the last one - japanese girl with a camera!
Tomi AjayiDecember 22, 2014It's small and a quick stroll would have you seeing all the waxworks in under fifteen minutes
Cheryl HuangApril 17, 2014I always thought it would be boring to go to a wax museum but I actually enjoyed it :D
Bruce Springsteen and Bonjovi were just added to the collection. They look great!
YPNationSeptember 20, 201120% off one admission, maximum 6 per group, if you buy with your YP Rewards card!
Rhiannon SmithFebruary 19, 2012There's a 10$ admission coupon on Grouping right now! Get the mobile app.
Scott FullerOctober 4, 2010Was kind of neat but pretty expensive....make sure to get your 15% discount using AAA card or booking online
Asher GroeschlerNovember 27, 2011Don't come. Go to one in vegas or somewhere else. So not worth the admission fee.
Marcio SilvaDecember 2, 2014Aqui você pode desfrutar da história e conhecer todos os presentes americanos. Vale a pena conferir e é sussegado.
Alexandre FávaroJuly 20, 2017Achei caro, sem graça e ainda cobram US$ 20,00 por uma foto? Se liga Madame.
