The Blackpool location features a 'Coronation Street' set where visitors can sit in the Rovers Return Inn, a unique offering not found in other Tussauds museums.
Figures are created by a team of over 20 artists who spend several months per sculpture, involving over 250 precise measurements.
Each individual hair on a wax figure is inserted by hand into the wax base.
The museum frequently incorporates interactive sets that allow visitors to step into the scene with the wax figure rather than just standing beside them.
It is the only Madame Tussauds in the United Kingdom outside of London.
Madame Tussauds Blackpool is a dedicated wax museum situated on the town's famous Golden Mile. Unlike global branches, this location features a high density of British cultural icons alongside international celebrities. The exhibit space includes immersive zones dedicated to iconic UK television soaps like Coronation Street and Emmerdale. Visitors can interact with figures representing sports legends, musical artists, and historical British figures. The museum utilizes lifelike wax modeling techniques standard to the Tussauds brand. The venue is housed in a prominent building directly overlooking the Irish Sea. It functions as a family-oriented attraction within the wider Blackpool entertainment corridor. The collection is regularly updated to reflect current cultural trends and celebrity popularity.
