Visit during non-peak hours to ensure enough space for individual photos with the wax figures.
Ensure your camera or phone is fully charged as the indoor lighting can drain batteries during long photo sessions.
Bring a portable power bank, as the interior is quite large and you will likely take many photos.
Avoid visiting on public holidays or weekends if you dislike heavy foot traffic and queues.
Do not touch the wax figures, as skin oils can degrade the materials; keep a respectful distance for photos.
