Is Madame Tussauds Hollywood open on holidays?

Yes, the museum remains open on most major holidays, including Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Day, though opening hours may be shorter on certain dates.

How long before closing time can I enter?

The final admission is at 8pm, which is when the museum closes its entry to visitors.

Do the 4D movie and 7D game experiences follow the same hours?

Yes, but the Marvel Universe 4D Movie and Robot Riot 7D Game may close slightly earlier than the main attraction, so it’s best to plan these experiences earlier in your visit.

How long to spend at Madame Tussauds Hollywood

Most visitors spend about 1.5 to 2 hours exploring Madame Tussauds Hollywood. With over 100 lifelike wax figures and multiple themed zones, from the A-List Party to Illusions of Horror, it’s easy to get lost in photo ops, interactive sets, and immersive experiences.

If you have included add-on experiences in your itinerary, you might end up spending closer to 2.5 hours, especially if you visit during peak hours.

The best time to visit Madame Tussauds Hollywood to avoid crowds is early in the morning, soon after opening, or later in the afternoon before closing. Weekdays, especially Tuesday to Thursday, tend to be quieter than weekends. For a more relaxed experience, plan your visit in the off-season months of January through March or September through November, when there are fewer tourists on Hollywood Boulevard.

To make the most of your Hollywood day, pair your Madame Tussauds visit with nearby attractions on Hollywood Boulevard. You can head to Madame Tussauds late morning or after lunch. After exploring, enjoy shopping at the Hollywood & Highland complex or visit the Hollywood Museum nearby.
