Madame Tussauds - Blackpool

Madame Tussauds - Blackpool

Madame Tussauds in Blackpool was one of my favourite attractions that I visited on our Blackpool trip. It offers lots of fun for everyone getting to see the wax works of their favourite celebrities, and booking online is super easy and flexible.

Located on the iconic Blackpool Promenade, Madame Tussauds Blackpool is a must-visit attraction that brings you face-to-face with lifelike wax figures of British celebrities, sports legends, music icons, and even Marvel superheroes.

It’s the only Madame Tussauds outside London in the UK, and it’s packed with themed zones that appeal to families, couples, and solo travelers alike.

🌟 What to Expect

• Celebrity Encounters: Pose with wax figures of stars like Mo Farah, Olly Murs, Bear Grylls, and even the Queen. There are also immersive sets from Strictly Come Dancing, I’m A Celebrity, and Coronation Street. Yes, you can actually get a drink in the Rover Returns.

• Interactive Fun: Many zones are hands-on — you can take selfies, walk through themed environments, and even try challenges like the Jungle Adventure. There are also chances for you to have your pictures taken in scenes such as the large beach chair and standing in front of the Hulk.

• Get Handy: How would you like to have your very wax cast of your hand? Well you can! You can pay to have a wax cast of your hand doing whatever you like, My husband and both did rock hands for our casks. It was a weird sensation as you are repeatedly putting your hands into melted wax (don't worry, it doesn't burn you).

• Family-Friendly: With a mix of pop culture, sports, and TV icons, there’s something for everyone. Kids especially love the Marvel Super Heroes Zone, it's also my favourite haha. Ladies, when you see Thor, you will know what I mean haha.

🖥️ Booking Your Visit

Booking online is strongly recommended and comes with a flexible ticket guarantee:

• Visit the official website: madametussauds.com/blackpool

• Choose your ticket type: Options include single attraction tickets, multi-attraction passes (e.g., with SEA LIFE or the Blackpool Tower), and family bundles. If you are planning on going to the other Merlin attractions in Blackpool, I would highly recommend getting the multi-attraction pass which will save you a lot of money. Check out my article all about it here.

• Timed Entry: All tickets include a timed entry slot. You’ll select your preferred time during checkout.

• Booking Guarantee: You can reschedule your visit for free up to 24 hours in advance which is great if your plans change last minute.

• Voucher Holders: If you have a promotional voucher, you can redeem it online and still reserve a time slot.
