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.
Madame Tussauds is located on International Drive, adjacent to The Wheel and the SEA LIFE® Orlando aquarium in Icon Park. You can get there by car and take advantage of the free parking or hop on the I-RIDE Trolley. If you’re staying along International Drive, Madame Tussauds is also easily accessible on foot.
The wax museum is open Sunday to Thursday, 10am-10pm, and Friday and Saturday, 10am-11pm. During peak tourist seasons such as the holidays and summer, the wait to get into the museum can be up to 20 minutes. Also, keep in mind that sometimes the attraction closes early for special events, so refer to the website for updates.
Located on International Drive, Icon Park is an entertainment, dining, and shopping complex that’s home to a massive 400-foot (122-meter) observation wheel known as The Wheel, as well as SEA LIFE Orlando and Madame Tussauds. Different ticket combos are available for the park’s attractions, and there is no charge to get into the complex.
