Madame Tussauds is boring and is very expensive. I dont think the kids really enjoy it that much anyway. What is interesting about seeing a lot of wax models of people they have never heard of? Okay, so some of them move and dance about and sing, but we are not taking amazing movie effects here... it is just basic robotic movement. not very exciting at all. Take it from someone who has been... save your money
