I had a fun time here.
It had been years and years and years since my last trip to a wax museum, so the complimentary tickets we had were very, very worth it. The line moved rapidly and, in minutes, I was standing next to Indiana Jones. And Johnny Deppy. And Brangelina.
AND LIBERACE! Hello... I think I gave this place an extra star just for Liberace! AWESOME!
There was a nice Michael Jackson memorial set up at the entrance, and people had left cards, teddy bears and flowers. I got to say my goodbyes to Michael, and have the picture to prove it. I think leaving him teddy bears is a bit dodgy, but hey, who am I to suggest that memorializing him sans kid toys is the way to go?
Anyway, the wax figures were fun, some more lifelike than others. I like all the photo ops that the museum has set up, and the interactive displays. The scary "Scream" thing did, indeed, make me scream. And the person behind me grabbed my shoulders so tight that they're still sore. No, not the actors - much like the sign, they were hands off.
It's worth a visit if you have a discount. The regular price - $25 for adults - felt quite steep to me, and I'm glad I didn't have to pay it. We were in and out in an hour.
Last, we engaged in the "are wax museums cool or are they creepy?" debate. My conclusion? Wax museums are creepy cool!
