Madame Tussauds has a rich history that dates back over 200 years. In 1770 Madame Tussaud acquired the skills to create amazing wax figures under the teaching and guidance of Dr. Philippe Curtius. When she turned 17, she became the art tutor to King Louis XVI's sister in the Palace Of Versaille in France. In the first part of the 19th century Madame Tussaud's exhibition moved about Britain displaying its unique collection of relics and wax replicas of famous people from around the world. This mobile exhibit conveyed the news of those times in a visual manner similar to what television does today.
Eventually, in 1835 Madame Tussauds wax exhibition settled in a permanent location in London. Today they have many locations throughout the world, including their latest at Sydney where they are conveniently located right between the SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium and WILD LIFE Sydney on the vibrant Darling Harbour.

Madame Tussauds Wax Museum Reviews
Rated out of 5
Very very lifelike wax figures. I spent just under an hour here. You can definitely spend more if you have the time. The staff is very friendly and courteous. I was blessed by the employees to take a ride on their VR shooting attraction that was an absolute blast (pun intended). Traveling by myself I had no one to take pictures of me with the figures and the any staff I encountered was gracious enough to take any photos I would ask. Especially Emanuel, he stumbled across me on the way to his destination and hung out with me and took every photo I asked for. Thanks again Emanuel and the friendly staff for helping me create some core memories while in Sydney.

Madame Tussauds is a fun place to visit with tons of lifelike wax figures, like Robert Irwin, that look super realistic! The place is really well-kept, and the souvenir shop is great, offering unique items you won’t find anywhere else in Australia. It does take a while to go through everything, and it can get tiring, especially if it’s busy and you have to wait your turn to take pictures. But it’s such a cool experience that I’d definitely visit more than once!

Its entertaining. Good infrastructure. Well designed layout. Value for money. Give yourself at least 90 mins. Great for kids. Make sure you have enough juice in your phone / camera. Can get crowded. Best to book tickets in advance.
