Louis Tussand's wax figures don't even closely look like the celebrities they are suppose to represented. Here are the celebrities wax figures I saw.
Tiger Woods wax figure will be near the entrance way and like the real Tiger Woods, he's often taking posting photos with hot girls. Michael Jackson is in the hallway, posting photos with young boys? Eddie Murphy looks like Shaft. He's a bad Mother Fu...shut your mouth! Tom Hanks doesn't look like him nor is he's dress up like Forrest Gump on the bench. Momma always said, life is like a box of chocolate. You never know which one will break your teeth due to it being WAX!!!! Tom Cruise will try to converted you to Scientology. AH-Nold is there and will be back. Denzel is there on training day, Jay Leno's chin is bigger than ever. Talking to Dr. Phil and Oprah help me a lot. Prince William is trying to be charming by having his arms pointing to his 'royal jewels'!! Lol. Elvis is serving coffee? King of Coffee. Marilyn Monroe looks like a psycho. Ghandi looks drunk. Jack Sparrow is on a monkey in a barrell. Odd, seeing Saddam, Fidel Castro, and Hitler there.
Morgan Freeman, oops I meant Nelson Mandela was there. Monica Lewensky is there, and yes there was a stain on her dress. Bill Clinton had his hands down in his pants and had long hair? President George W Bush looks like Nick Nolte.
Old School Batman and Penguin from Batman Returns. Austin Power stole my mojo and looks like Woody Allen. John Lennon looks like Jesus.
Ok, the celebrites have different rooms with themes, but still they don't even look real.
Other things to see are the Wax Bison, Frankenstein, and robots made out of scrap metal. World largest seat to sit in looking at the match stick statue of liberty.
Portait of Queen Elizabeth made out of beans. FART!!! Great, who didn't see that coming. Then there is the bearded lady, and largest fat and tall men wax figure.
Over all: this is a odd place, but the wax figures don't look like the people at less in my opinion. -

Don't look into their eyes, they will steal your soul. Their waxy smiles are judging you. They want you to feel at ease, pose next to them and snap a picture and at that moment they will move ever so slightly. You will think it is your mind playing tricks. You start to feel uneasy but don't want to appear crazy. You shake it off and look at the next wax celebrity, but you never quite get that feeling out of your mind. muhahahahaha.
When I was in London with my sister we went to Madame Tussaud's wax museum and it was quite fun. When my angel face B rad and I spent a lovely weekend in Niagara, we thought it would be cool to check out Louis' place. We had a one dollar off coupon (w00t) that we got in a touristy coupon book located at every hotel. The woman at the ticket counter tried to sell us a multi-pass ticket for some other attractions, but we were solely interested in these wax celebrities. Two tickets for such a privilege cost us 27 bucks. Hey we are on vacation!
There are a series of rooms to explore with the waxlebrities displayed in different situations and positions. Most were recognizable right away and a few caused me a moment to pause and read the tag. From a distance they are all pretty good but as I got closer to some (not too close though. eep!) the faces weren't perfect.
To get to the different rooms you go through doors and up stairs. One time I couldn't open one of the doors because another tourist was standing in front of it on the other side snapping a photo. I felt bad bumping them. oopsy.
Photography is permitted, but you can't touch the wax people (who would want to). B rad was playing the part of paparatzo and I was posing next to the celebs. I sat on Oprah's coach, I made a crazy face next to Dr. Phil, I cast a spell with Hermione and Ron, I skipped down the yellow brick road, I am a weirdo...
There is one room that they warn you is scary and you can bail out before going in there. In London I tried to be a tough guy and go in the scary section but when I saw that there were real people moving around and ready to jump out and scare me, I was too chicken to go through with it. Louis' scary section wasn't bad at all, except for the egg from Alien's that made a loud noise. I admit it, I squealed and grabbed B. It mostly had wax versions of characters from horror films.
I was more frightened by the rooms that contained historical political figures. The whole gang was there, Hitler, Saddam, George Bush...
shivers
Throughout the museum they have face casts hanging on the walls that they use to create the wax figures. These are cool because they really show you all the detail of the faces.
If you have never seen wax people before, it is a fun place to stop and check out and take some silly photos in. I was tempted to shove the tiny Marty McFly out of the way and hop in his DeLorean... next time. -

Yeah... you know.... really I don't know what convinced me to do this.
It was simply A-OK.
Yes, I admit some of the wax figures look close to amazingly real. There were a lot of current and interesting figures and musicians. Again, not sure why I came in. Maybe to see what the hype was about with these places. But yeah none the less, interesting. Not interesting enough to see more than once in a lifetime. -

This place was so lulzworthy. The figures are so bad it's awesome. You know that kid that you sat next to in 6th grade art class, the one who thought she was awesome at drawing because she covered her notebook in anime versions of Robert Smith? Guess what? It's fifteen years later, and she got a job in Niagara Falls. At the wax museum! Where all the figures look like Napoleon Dynamite spent 3 hours shading their upper lips.

I know that I am supposed to like places like this. Many people pay a lot of money to go see wax replicas of their favorite celebrities but to me it just seems creepy. When I was here there was more than one time when I spun around because I swear they were looking at me. If you can get past the creepiness of the whole ordeal (although I couldn't) then you probably would really like it. The one room that got to me the most was the "cocktail party room" where there are about twenty different wax statues all standing around waiting for their picture to be taken, but you can't help but expect them to come alive and kill everyone. This place is a tourist trap in one of the worst senses but if it's the kind of thing you like then by all means go, but if your like me and prefer all your creepy statues in front of you then go to a museum.
