My friend and I went here thinking it was like the wax museum in Las Vegas. But it was nothing like Madam's. The wax figures didn't look very realistic and its set up so you're walking into the movie scene with the character. It was neat, but I probably won't go back.
What a waste! Small, dirty and badly displayed. Most figures (and I know 99 out of 100 stars by looks) are not signed. Some are so bad I couldn't tell who they were. Keep your great memories of Movieland Wax Museum and spend your time and money at the nearby Hollywood History Museum.

Nice way to spend a little time. Not a great way, but a nice way
Terrible Terrible Terrible.Wax figures looked cheap and barely resembled the actors they were trying to portray.Some were dingy some were shiny and looked like mannequins in a department store. Chintzy backdrops,could only view from a distance. If i were an actor with my likeness on display here,i would ask them to take it down...
My husband didn't want to go here. But he was glad he did. It was so fun seeing this celebrities and you really get into poseing with them. To alot of people it may sound boring. But we loved it.

I loved the Hollywood Wax museum! Its a great place to go with a loved one and check out all the real looking waxed people. It has a really interesting beginning with horror character, that will send chills up your back! I loved it so much, go check it out!

the meuseum is horrible. they were showing shows like bonanza. i went to the wax meuseum in San Francisco and it was way better. they dont even show signs for most of the dolls so you had to guess most of them. plus they didnt even look like the real people. dont go there it is a complete rip off
If you like ghouls, go on in. We enjoyed the old and new monsters (Dracula, Phantom, Freddy, Jason, Crypt Keeper). The “famous folks” weren’t that great (Tom, Haly, Gwyneth –I think that was supposed to be her). I read that it was not the best quality wax museum and I agree. My expectations were low so I was not ...

Didn't look real and you couldn't take pictures near them
Our biggest problem with the wax museum was that none of the figures looked good. Some were ok, many were bad and some were completely awful, I mean they didn't even look like people let alone the stars they were trying to portray. For example an Arnold Schwarzenegger figure from the movie Conan the Barbarian wasn't nearly as massive as it ...
I wouldn't go back to this place. All of the stars did not look good. Some of them looked real bad. Plus it was pretty expensive for the 15 minutes it took walking as slow as i could through this place. There is a scary part with all the horror heros, that wasn't so bad. But, unless you can't find anything else to do while your in Hollywood, i would stay away.
