Madame Tussauds Blackpool

Unlike the more international focus of the original Madame Tussauds in London, the Blackpool Madame Tussauds wax museum celebrates British popular culture, with its displays of figures from iconic British television shows and music. It also taps into the town’s own rich entertainment history, reflecting Blackpool’s long-standing connection with performance and show business.

Visitors to Madame Tussauds Blackpool can expect a wide array of wax figures, each meticulously crafted to resemble real-life celebrities and public figures. The museum is divided into themed zones, each focusing on a different aspect of popular culture.

Sports enthusiasts can visit the sports zone, where wax figures of famous athletes such as Mo Farah and Lewis Hamilton are on display.

For those interested in film and comic book characters, the Marvel Super Heroes zone is a highlight.
