Meet lifelike replicas of Hollywood celebrities, brave a haunted house or explore a maze of mirrors at this action-packed museum and amusement complex.

Visit the Hollywood Wax Museum to stand near lifelike models of some of the biggest stars from television and cinema. You’ll also get the chance to experience one of the world’s first 5-D attractions and explore a remarkable maze of mirrors. 

Check out the huge sculpture featuring the heads of John Wayne, Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe and Charlie Chaplin and then step inside to see more famous faces. The museum is a great place to take action photos with wax models of both past and present stars. There's Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones and Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow as well as songstresses Beyoncé, Christina Aguilera and Dolly Parton.

True celebrity buffs will enjoy reading information about each of the stars, including their accomplishments, charity work and pets. There’s also a section dedicated to film genres of comedy, horror and Westerns. Stop by the Studio Store to pick up celebrity souvenirs.

For more family fun, go to Hannah’s Maze of Mirrors. Relive a modern-day fairy tale as you make your way around mirrored passageways in search of a princess. Along the way you’ll encounter over 200 potential turns and dead ends situated between reflecting walls and archways.

The wax museum was absolutely not worth the money, the only redeeming thing was how fun the other 3 attractions were. So if you do this, absolutely spend the extra $7 to do the other 3 attractions!
