Hollywood Wax Museum Review ~

Let’s face it. Most of us will never meet many Hollywood Stars. But wouldn’t it be fun if we could? Jay and I went to the Hollywood Wax Museum in Pigeon Forge this weekend and did just did, in wax form, that is. 😉 What we really loved most was that you can touch the stars and pose with them for pictures! Oh, and you can also get on top of the building with King Kong! Ah!

Hollywood Wax Museum in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee

The Hollywood Wax Museum in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, is definitely one of the coolest places that Jay and I went to on our little vacation this past Labor Day weekend. The museum houses two stories of wax figures of many of the biggest icons in entertainment history. There is also an upper deck that you can go on where you can view the surrounding Pigeon Forge area as well as climb to the top with King Kong. I am scared of heights so I just stayed on the lower deck and let Jay check out King Kong. 😀 The view from the top of the Hollywood Wax Museum is amazing.

A Few Of My Favorites

Marilyn Monroe wax figure mannequin at the Hollywood Wax Museum in Pigeon Forge Tennessee - Cheap Is The New Classy
Diamonds really are a girl’s best friend.

 My personal favorite wax figure was the Marilyn Monroe that you see above {there were at least two Marilyn Monroes at the time that we visited}. I think they did a great job on her and she looks very lifelike. Plus, she is all fancy and dressed up. Who doesn’t love that?

Michael Jackson wax figure mannequin at the Hollywood Wax Museum in Pigeon Forge Tennessee - Cheap Is The New Classy

I also think this representation of Michael Jackson is really good. I love how he is posed with all of the mirrors around him. I had to be careful not to get myself in the shot, so be careful when you take your own pictures.

Twilight Bella and Edward {Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson} wax figures at the Hollywood Wax Museum in Pigeon Forge TN - Cheap Is The New Classy

Twilight fans rejoice, you weren’t forgotten. 🙂

Go ahead, punk. Make my day.

 And finally, my last favorite – Dirty Harry. I think this one looks so lifelike and just like him. Awesome!

Left side of the building. You really have to see this to get an idea of how big it is. Wow.

 Save Money On Your Visit To The Hollywood Wax Museum

When you visit the Hollywood Wax Museum, you can save money by getting a pick 3 ticket. This allows you entry in the Castle of Chaos as well as Hannah’s Maze of Mirrors. We were not in Pigeon Forge that long, so we were unable to attend the other two attractions, but we hope to at a later date. If you have been to the Castle of Chaos {which looked really cool} of Hannah’s Maze of Mirrors, please let us know what you thought in the comments below.

    The only wax museum I’ve been to was in Niagara Falls. That was over 30 years ago. Nothing really stands out as a favorite after so long. I do remember being impressed overall.

      You know, I went to Niagara Falls about 20 years ago and I think I may have gone to a wax museum there, but I can’t remember for sure.

    I can’t believe how lifelike those wax figures look! I’ve only been to one wax museum but it was pretty cool!

    The Hollywood Wax Museum looks awesome! We have one here in Branson, and the Celebrity Mt Rushmore Facade is HUGE!

      Is the celebrity Mt Rushmore the same at the one in Branson as it is in Pigeon Forge?

    I must be weird {okay, I know I’m weird} but wax figures totally creep me out. Not sure why. Now that the weirdness is out of the way, I like the Clint Eastwood one the best!

      September 5, 2013 at 8:11 pm

      Lol! If I stare them in the eyes long enough, they creep me out, too. They are just real enough looking to make me feel like I am getting the stare down, lol!

    How fun! Take a photo of Dirty Harry, pose with Marilyn Monroe, and pretend to sing with Elvis. Yes, you’ll have many stories to tell about what you did. 🙂

    I’d love to see this! I’ve been to the Mme Toussaud’s in NYC and Vegas, but I want to see this one, too!
