This is a great spot for fun, cheesy selfies; costumes and props are available at certain stations to allow you to customize your photos. Along the way, learn interesting trivia about the celebrities’ accomplishments, pets, and pet peeves. Horror fans won’t want to miss the Chamber of Horrors, which features villains and monsters from both classic and modern horror films.
You can enjoy a self-guided tour through the museum; for the best value, book a VIP ticket that includes the Guinness Book of World Records Museum and Ripley’s Believe It or Not! in addition to the Hollywood Wax Museum. If you’re planning to visit other popular LA attractions, consider a guided tour that combines a visit here with spots like the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Rodeo Drive, or the Sunset Strip.
The Hollywood Wax Museum is at the intersection of Hollywood Boulevard and N Highland Avenue. If you’re driving, take US 101 or Interstate 110. There are several parking lots nearby. You can also take the Metro Red Line to the Hollywood/Highland station, located right across the street.
The Hollywood Wax Museum is open daily and stays open late. The only day the museum is closed is on the day of the Academy Awards. It can be especially busy on weekends, holidays, and over the summer. Visit earlier in the day, or late at night, to beat the crowds.
Many visitors combine all three venues in one visit. At Ripley’s Believe It or Not!, see nearly 300 exhibits, artifacts, and oddities from around the world. At the Guinness World Record Museum, learn about long-held and recently-broken records that will inspire, amaze, and puzzle. You’ll also get a chance to try to break a world record at the Attempts Arena.
