I loved Maddame Tussaud because the wax figures were very real. It was a new experience for me, so, i was so excited about it. The only thing I was sad about was that my great love Beyonce wasn't there. They had removed her. But anyway I took a photo with my dear Miley Cyrus.

When we went to Maddame Tussaud I was anxious and excited at the same time because when I went to London with my parents years ago we coudn't go because didn't have enough time.
There were so many wax models of different famous people. I took some photos with them. We were able to watch a 4D movie about Marvel Superheroes. I enjoy the movie a lot because I like superheroes. The museum was amazing because everything seemed so real. I want to go back again someday.

When I went to Maddame Tussauds I was gobsmacked (alucinado) because the wax statues were very life like. Some of the statues I loved like Ronaldo, ETE or Bob Marley. I liked the wax figures, the lighting and everything.

It was the first time that I had been in a wax museum. We had an amusing time because we could take photos with the famous figures. The figures looked like very real.
At the end of the visit we could watch a film in 4D about superheroes. I liked the 4D because it seemed that you could touch them.
