★★★★★a month agoWe visit madame tussauds yesterday and the overall experience was really great highly recommended to friends and family and they have some fun games and costume inside (for free) to use. If you alone and you want a good shots there are staff who can take photo for you (for affordable price) the place was so amazing and the staff are good. And thank you so much to Ms. NATASHA to guide us and let us experience the amazing featuring lifelike sculptures of famous historical figures, celebrities, and contemporary personalities made primarily of wax. 🥰❤️

★★★★★3 months agoWe visited Madame Tussauds Dubai last Friday and had a really fun experience. The wax figures were impressively realistic, and it was exciting to see and take photos with so many famous personalities. The place is well-organized, clean, and perfect for families or friends. Definitely a great indoor activity, especially to escape the heat while still enjoying something unique.
