Family Fun Adventures - Madame Tussauds

Finding cool things to do in and around Singapore

by Christi Elflein

Do you need Oprah’s advice? Are you ready to play basketball with Yao Ming? Do you want to be one of Madonna’s backup dancers? You can fulfill your dreams right here without leaving our Little Red Dot, by planning an outing to Madame Tussauds in Sentosa. Madame Tussauds is famous worldwide for her lifelike wax creations, and her legacy continues here in Singapore.

Madame Tussauds is more than just a wax museum, though. It’s an attraction! And one S$30 ticket gives you access to five different experiences:

1. The Spirit of Singapore boat ride – Think Disney’s “It’s a Small World” but with Singapore scenery.

2. Images of Singapore – An exhibit chronicling the history of Singapore through photography. Interesting slow stroll for the adults and a brisk walk through for most kids.

3. Ultimate Film Star Experience – A chance to act and dance with wax superstars of the Indian cinema. We didn’t recognize any of these stars, but we still had fun learning a Bollywood dance.

4. Marvel Universe 4D – A must-see, action-packed, allsenses-engaged short film for all superhero fans. This was the highlight of the experience for my teenage son.

5. Madame Tussauds – the wax museum and main attraction! Be ready to capture Instagram-worthy pictures. Plan for all five experiences to take you at least 1.5 hours. Book your tickets and time slot on their website at www.madametussauds.com/singapore.
