About Hollywood Wax Museum
Hollywood Wax Museum stands as the largest Hollywood-themed wax museum in the entire country, featuring incredibly life-like celebrity figures that captivate visitors of all ages. Children especially enjoy posing with props and costumes alongside their favorite stars.
The interactive elements truly distinguish this attraction from other wax museums. Guests can sing with wax musicians and test their celebrity knowledge through engaging games scattered throughout the exhibits.
A word of caution: single admission tickets can become expensive when experiencing all available attractions. The All-Access Pass at around $40 offers excellent value, including the wax museum plus Castle of Chaos, Hannah's Maze of Mirrors, and the zombie experience.
The 40,000-pound Great Ape display creates a massive centerpiece that provides spectacular photo opportunities. Most families spend approximately 2 hours exploring the full All-Access experience.
Free parking in the spacious lot provides welcome relief, as many Parkway attractions charge parking fees. The museum maintains convenient hours until 10 PM daily, making it an excellent choice for evening entertainment after dinner.
