There is something for everyone at Madame Tussauds Sydney these Easter school holidays.

Mini superheroes in waiting will power up next to Ironman or become Wolverine's sidekick for a day. In our Music Zone, the next pop-idol can get the party started with P!nk on her heart-shaped stage set, or pick up a guitar and shake it off with Taylor Swift!

 

This is only a taste of what visitors will get in a day out at Madame Tussauds Sydney. Walk through our History Zone and meet some of the most adored figures in Australian history – hop aboard the HMAS Endeavour with Captain Cook, or become Ned Kelly as you step behind the most famous bushranger mask ever known. In our Sport Zone, take a walk on centre court in our Australian Open Tennis Set and challenge Rafael Nadal, Li Na and Serena Williams to a game of tennis, before sizing yourself up against the tallest NBA player ever, Chinese superstar Yao Ming.

 

After celebrating your sporting victories, make yourself comfortable on Oprah's couch while you watch yourself on television, before jumping over to our Movie Zone where you can hop on Elliott's BMX and recreate *that* E.T moon scene. It's definitely getting close to party time by now, so smooth your hair and enter our A-List Zone where you can saddle up next to Angelina Jolie or share a drink with Johnny Depp.
