One of our planned stops in London was to Madame Tussaud's wax museum. It was something my sister really wanted to see but I wasn't real excited. We went on one of our days that wasn't already booked with tours. The line to get in was approx. 1 1/2 to 2hrs! And that is in May not even summer. So we decided we would come another day. We happened to stop in to the info office for the Big Bus Tour and behold they sell tickets for Madame Tussaud's. So we bought our tickets there and went back the next day. This time we could walk right in (past the line) and our tickets were actually cheaper than buying them right from the museum. If you plan on going I definitely recommend buying your tickets before hand! When we got inside I was quite impressed at the way it was set up. They even managed to make it very interactive. There are also some surprise figures that will make you take a second look to make sure they are wax. We sat at the little restaurant for 15min before we realized that the gentleman sitting a couple tables over was a wax figure! So in the end I enjoyed in much more than I expected and will probably visit others if I get the chance.
