Madame Tussauds Hollywood
Having trouble meeting your favorite celebs? Make the rounds at the newly opened Madame Tussauds Hollywood wax museum next door to Grauman’s Chinese Theater. Madame Tussauds Hollywood is the ninth attraction in the worldwide chain, which dates back more than 200 years. The three-story facility with 18 themed areas features wax figures of classic and contemporary stars and filmmakers, brought to life by special effects and audio recordings.
The journey begins with figures of President Barack Obama, Samuel L. Jackson and Marilyn Monroe. The actress’s kneeling figure is on a portable base depicting her getting her hand cast in the Grauman’s Chinese forecourt. Strolling the red carpet you’ll see likenesses of Johnny Depp and Nichole Kidman. The A-List Party room is just the place for Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears. Next, stand next to Ryan Seacrest and sing karaoke for a scowling Simon Cowell.
Additional themed areas include Westerns (smell the gunsmoke), action heroes and an awards ceremony. 6933 Hollywood Boulevard, Hollywood, 323-467-8277, www.madametussauds.com. $25 adults, $18 ages 4-12.
