In fact we enjoyed it so much we have been twice now.

Entry to Madame Tussauds costs around about £15 for adults and £12 for kids but like most of the attractions in Blackpool there are deals to be had and if you buy the tickets online in advance then you can save money as well as being able to buy combined attraction tickets with other attractions. If you are visiting in the summer when it tends to get busy then the fast track ticket is a good idea which allows you to bypass the main queues and go through a special dedicated one.

The Madame Tussauds in Blackpool is very British centric so this probably isn’t the place to come for foreign tourists but for Brits it is fantastic and there are a few international celebrities there too. There is a brilliant range of models here from pop stars to TV stars and there will be people that every generation knows from young to old. There were loads of waxworks which the kids had no idea who they were of but I enjoyed seeing them and there were plenty of other more modern waxworks such as Cheryl Cole.

There are loads of waxworks here and the likeness is so realistic. Some more so than other but I can honestly say that there wasn’t one who didn’t at least look like the person they were meant to. Both the kids and I had a right giggle on the ‘I’m a celeb’ exhibit.
We also loved being able to get right up close and personal with the exhibits and we got so many good but embarrassing photos with us posing with the waxworks. My personal favourites had to be the royalty ones.

They didn’t seem to have a problem with us taking pictures with the waxworks though they also offer a more professional set of pictures which they can take for you but I personally thought this was too expensive to justify when we had our own camera and besides the pictures that we took ourselves might not be professional but we didn’t feel like we had to behave so could be silly and got some fantastic pictures.

As I mentioned earlier we have been in both summer and out of season in the winter and for me personally the winter visit was much more enjoyable. There were still visitors in with us but it was much less crowded than in the summer where it was so crowded we couldn’t really get close to the waxworks and it just felt a little claustrophobic.

Madame Taussauds Blackpool is open all year round with the exception of Christmas day and although times can be different during the holidays or when the lights are on normal opening hours are from 10:00 till 4:00 Sunday to Friday and 10:00 till 5:00 on a Saturday.

For me personally I would highly recommend that you visit Madame Tussauds as it is such a fun place and a great attraction for people of all ages and although the kids will love it adults will also get a kick out of it too.
