* Who was Louis Tussaud ? * I'm sure you've all heard of Madame Tussaud ? well , Louis Tussaud was her great grandson.He created a waxworks place in Blackpool , which is the place I am going to tell you about.
*Louis Tussaud's waxworks* Louis' waxworks are located opposite the central pier , central promenade , in Blackpool , Lancashire.The works are open daily , all year round.
The works have five floors , showing off the public's favourite celebs.There are hundreds of models available to see.
* The Floors *
* 3rd Floor - The Rock Factory * Here you can see celebs such as cher and Robbie Williams.You can also see old coronation street stars , including present ones such as vera and Jack Duckworth.There is a 'pub' like the rovers where you can go and sit in to drink or eat food or drinks which you can buy from the cafe around the corner.
*2nd Floor - The Regal Room *
Here , you can see past and present members of the Royal Family.You can see Princess Diana standing side by side with her son William.Also you can see old Kings and Queens such as Henry VIII.I liked the model of the Queen mum as I thought it looked exactly like her.Also on this floor you can enter a maze.It's a small room with lots of mirrors.I would not reccommend going in here , as I found it quite scary and got a bit panicky because I didn't know how to get out!
Here take a look at big movie stars such as Leonardo DiCaprio and Superman.There are also models of dinasours (Most probably from Jurassic Park) which roar loudly!
*Ground Floor - Celeb City* This was my favourite floor as it had many celebs which are around now , such as the beckhams , kylie minogue and Elton John.One thing I liked about this , is the fact that when you walk through the door to enter this floor , you are faced with a very-real-to-life model of pierce Brosnan as James Bond who is pointing a gun at you whilst standing in his famous pose! It looks sooo real! Also on this floor , there is a model of 'King Kong'.Here , you can have your picture taken with him! Great for the kids!
*Basement - Chamber of Horrors *
This is not one for the kids! It's soo scary! It features scary movie stars and real life criminals! It's also really dark!!
*Prices *
Adult - £9.95 Senior - £8.95 Child - £7.95
Children under 4 - FREE
*Group Saving* Two people - £16.00 Three People - £23.00 Four people - £28.00 Five people - £33.00
If you have visited Blackpool Tower keep your tickets.If you present these when paying at the waxworks you may save up to 50%. Although this offer is not availble on the group saver tickets.
Also look out for people on the street handing out 'money off' vouchers! We had a voucher and recieved £2 off per person saving us £6!
Hope this review helps!

Personally I think this particular one is a poor imitation of Madame Tussaud's in London, and many of the models don't actually resemble who they are supposed to be.

I have been here, and it's definatly a good trip, not expensive either!! I think the one in London contains more celebs though, like Tom Cruise, want to go to that one too!
