Hollywood Wax Museum - Fun for All Ages by Kiara Hart
Can you guess which attraction is the most visited in Hollywood? Why the Hollywood Wax Museum of course! Since 1965, the world-famous Hollywood Wax Museum has been attracting visitors from all over! With so many exciting things to do on Hollywood Boulevard, it is amazing that the Wax Museum has been the most visited! In this article we’re going to discuss three potential reasons as to why the Hollywood Wax Museum is so popular and why people of all ages are sure to enjoy it.
- Creative Idea for an Attraction
The Hollywood Wax Museum in Branson, MO first opened in 1996. Located on Highway 76 in the heart of the Entertainment District, there is absolutely no way you can miss it. The building shows a New York skyline being rampaged by a gigantic gorilla, also known as the largest primate in the Midwest. 15,000 square feet of lifelike wax figures, iconic movie scenes, and more await you inside the Hollywood Wax Museum.
Experiencing the Hollywood Wax Museum, myself, I couldn’t help but overhear many other guests most likely from out-of-town squeal, laugh, and gasp in utter shock at the Wax Museum and all its features. And I can’t blame them. If I hadn’t grown up in Branson, MO and I saw the Hollywood Wax Museum for the first time, I would react the exact same. After hearing other people’s excitement and enthusiasm for the attraction I came to realize that the Hollywood Wax Museum is a unique and creative idea for an attraction. The crazy gorilla attacking the New York skyline outside isn’t something that people normally see every day. So, naturally, people who come to Branson are going to be fascinated. I believe that attractions like the Hollywood Wax Museum are popular because they are fresh and aren’t the typical attractions that most people think of.
