Did you know?

Many illusions here are cooked up with neuroscientists and perception experts, so every mind-bender is backed by real science about how your brain decides what’s real.

The museum dives into real math puzzles like the birthday paradox. It shows how in a group of only 23 people, chances are higher than expected that two share the same birthday.

Inspired by Yayoi Kusama, the Infinity Room surrounds visitors with mirrored reflections and incorporates London-specific design elements, creating an experience that connects global art influences with the city’s visual identity.

Since opening, it has quickly become one of London’s fastest-growing interactive museums, drawing more than 200,000 visitors in its very first year.

A tucked-away balcony inside the museum reveals Harrods in full view, creating a surprising photo spot for anyone wanting that perfect London selfie backdrop.

I really enjoyed it; the figures are so well made—I'd say they look like real people. It's uncanny how good they are. I'm glad I walked the red carpet; I felt like a star. My friends and I are thrilled. I love the Beatles and Freddy, as well as the members of the royal family. The ride delighted me, taking me back to old London. It's enchanting, wonderful.

The figures were very lifelike; we loved the taxi ride through the interior, the area featuring England's most notorious murderers. Awesome!!!

A great experience on Monday afternoon: no lines and a smooth visit. Buying tickets online was convenient, and it was super easy to get there by bus (right in front of the giant Harry Styles poster!). The statues are incredibly lifelike; my daughters loved the One Direction ones. The tour lasts about an hour and a half and is well worth the ticket price. The only downside: the cost of the official photos offered along the way seemed a bit too high to me. Much better to take your own selfies for free!

A visit to London requires visiting quality attractions like the one at Madame Tussauds. I enjoyed the place so much, the innovations, the exhibition is amazing!!! And the highlight at the end of the mass tour through the different periods of the British Empire. The ticket purchasing process was simple, fast and clear. Thank you very much

The day was amazing !! I Went today and honestly had such a blast.The wax figures are insanely realistic did a double take when I saw The Rock. Marvel 4D experience was the highlight for me, and the Spirit of London ride was way more fun than I expected. Staff were super friendly and helped with photos. Queue moved fast even though it was busy. Managed to get selfies with SRK, Ed Sheeran, and the Royal Family.
