Activity: Madame Tussauds Museum Singapore

Selfie with Fandi Ahmad

Ever wished maybe of meeting the Prime Minister, your favorite artist or celebrity? In our lifetime, we may not have the chance to meet all or even one of them. But at Madame Tussauds Museum it can become a reality, with a little bit of imagination! hehe. And the realistic wax figures really make everything believable.

We reached a little after 4pm so we had some time to explore around Sentosa before we head to the museum which closes at 8pm.

We got our tickets at $25 each (Usual price $35 which includes Images of Singapore Live Ticket ) with SAFRA card. Otherwise you can also book tickets online for $32 each.

The Madame Tussauds Museum in Singapore is divided into 8 main sections:

1. Spirit of Singapore (Boat Ride)
2. History & Leaders
3. Sports
4. Behind the Scenes
5. TV
6. Music
7. Film, and
8. A-List Party

SPIRIT OF SINGAPORE

Before you get to explore the inside of the museum, you'll be relaxing in a boat ride titled 'Spirit of Singapore' as part of the museum trip. It was a little too rushed and not very memorable though I remembered having a glimpse of our F1 Singapore Night Race. You'll only get to ride it once and lighting was not very good for photography so we just decided to sit back and enjoy the ride.

Before starting on the main museum walk, we were invited to take a photograph with some props. You can of course purchase the pictures at the end and keep them as souvenirs :)

Oldies theme (I edited this myself since we didn't get their shot :p)

HISTORY & LEADERS

Us with the historical leaders of Asia. Yusof Ishak looks just like his counterpart in our dollar notes! :D

In this section, you'll also get to 'meet' our current political leaders : Senior Minister Lee Kuan Yew and his late wife, ESM Goh Chok Tong & our PM Lee Hsien Loong. There are also interactive quizzes in the same room to engage everyone in mini activities.

The Lees with guest starring @amsyarstifler haha

I swear that Gandhi is too cute.

Barack Obama

SPORTS

The next few sections are more interactive - you'll get to play with props and also pose with your favourite celebrities! This is where the fun really starts and you'll be surprised at the amount of time you can spend within the museum without realising.

Well, Beckham doesn't seem to mind...

Boxing with Muhammad Ali. There's even a gong nearby for you to do the 'ting-ting' sound before the match starts :D

Shoot hoops with Yao Ming and make a hole-in-one with Tiger Woods. Here's Fandi when he was much younger and have i mentioned that Christiano Ronaldo looks sooo handsome here? ;)

BEHIND THE SCENES

Here, you'll be learning a lot of facts regarding how a wax figure is made. You'll be surprised at the amount of work and effort needed to make one wax person! They even get donations of clothings and accessories from the person himself / herself to style the figurine up to great detail.

In this section, you will also get to create your own Wax Hands cast as a memento.

If i'm not wrong, it's $12 for a person and $20 for a couple's hands.

It's a numbing experience followed by dipping your hand in hot wax.

Too bad we didn't get a photo of our 'artwork' and the wax hands have become a sad bundle of wax by now (even though we kept it in the right conditions as they advised).

TV

YELLOW BOOTS FOR EVERYONE!!!

Don't forget to don your yellow boots and take a snapshot with Phua Chu Kang! (The boots are located in a 'treasure chest' by the side if you don't see them lying around) You'll also meet the likes of Zoe Tay and Oprah Winfrey here with many props to play with too! :)

MUSIC

Taylor Swift looks super red hot right here.

I'm not sure if they're 'measured to scale' based on height. If yes, I'm so short! :(

The music section is also where you get to play with a lot of props and even play in a band (haha).

Bounce off the tunes with Elvis and get in gear with so many weird props available!

This was also one of my favourite sections in the museum and we spent a lot of time here dancing awkwardly with Elvis and taking silly photos with the props. The level of details put into each of the figurines is admirable, just look at Beyonce's clothing sequins and tattoo below!

FILM

Next, we headed to the Film Section. We'll let the pictures do the talking...

His teatime date with Audrey Hepburn.

See the transformation?? HAHAHHA

Actually the red sweater smells a bit funky. hahah

A-LIST PARTY

This section was quite mundane for us but it's okay because we were already quite exhausted by now. Hehe, pardon our old legs.

Didn't know that Angelina Jolie has so many tattoos!

With Tom Cruise and Andy Lau.

The funniest and most fun prop was the piano at the centre of the section though!

Overall it was really a fun experience and the ticket price of $23 for Safra Members makes it all the more worth it! It's the closest Madame Tussauds Wax Museum that we get to visit right here in our own island of Singapore and we really recommend for everyone to come here at least once to see what the hype is about throughout the whole world. 

Till our next post,

Happy museum visiting!
