Hollywood Wax Museum Los Angeles
6767 Hollywood Blvd., Los Angeles, CA, 90028
Strike a pose with your favorite Hollywood stars at the Hollywood Wax Museum. The original outlet of this nationwide chain is the longest-running wax museum in the country and features more than 100 wax figures of celebrities and entertainers, as well as famous movie monsters and scenes in the Chamber of Horrors.
The basics
This is a great spot for fun, cheesy selfies; costumes and props are available at certain stations to allow you to customize your photos. Along the way, learn interesting trivia about the celebrities’ accomplishments, pets, and pet peeves. Horror fans won’t want to miss the Chamber of Horrors, which features villains and monsters from both classic and modern horror films.
You can enjoy a self-guided tour through the museum; for the best value, book a VIP ticket that includes the Guinness Book of World Records Museum and Ripley’s Believe It or Not! in addition to the Hollywood Wax Museum. If you’re planning to visit other popular LA attractions, consider a guided tour that combines a visit here with spots like the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Rodeo Drive, or the Sunset Strip.
