Madame Tussauds San Francisco

Madame Tussauds San Francisco
Meet your favorite stars and figures from the past at Madame Tussauds world-famous celebrity wax attraction. Snap selfies with A-listers like Kate Winslet, cozy up to George Clooney in a VIP lounge, and dance to the piano stylings of Elton John as you explore different themed areas.

Head through a purple haze to the Haight-Ashbury district, where you can get groovy with Jimi Hendrix and join in Harvey Milk's campaign for equal rights. Get behind the camera with Steven Spielberg on the set of Jurassic Park, or take on Bruce Lee in a Kung Fu battle on set. Sing a duet with Adele, jump on stage with Elvis, and bust a move with Michael Jackson as you dance to hits by the King of Pop.

Continue your San Francisco exploration as you go behind bars at an Alcatraz prison cell, and then give Barack Obama a high-five on your way to the stadium. The San Francisco 49ers are waiting to toss you a pass, and Muhammad Ali is poised in the ring—boxing gloves at the ready.

Before you leave, go behind the scenes of Madame Tussauds to learn about the fascinating life and legacy of the museum's namesake and the intriguing art of wax sculpting—from measuring and molding to the finishing touches that help bring recognizable characters to life.

San Francisco Dungeon
The San Francisco Dungeon brings together an amazing cast of theatrical actors, special effects, stages and scenes in a truly unique and exciting walkthrough experience that you see, hear, touch, smell and feel. It’s hilarious, fun and it’s sometimes a bit scary.

The San Francisco Dungeon is a 60-minute journey through San Francisco's past from the Gold Rush to Alcatraz. You and your companions walk through the Dungeon, moving from show to show, guided by our professional actors.

The shows are based on real San Francisco history and legends (minus the boring parts). You'll get up close and personal with sinister characters including Sam Roberts, the leader of the Gangs of San Francisco, and the infamous bar owner and crimper Miss Piggott and her partner-in-crime (literally), Shanghai Kelly.

It's a fully themed experience. That means 360° sets, special effects, and theatrical storytelling. On your journey you'll pass through the narrow streets of San Francisco's Chinatown, Sutter's Mill, scene of the start of the 1849 Gold Rush, the fearsome torture chamber... and see (and feel!) what your life would have been like if you had been sent to Alcatraz. Believe us, it's better than a sightseeing tour of the city!

Hours of Operation:
Sunday – Thursday 10:00AM -7:00PM
Friday – Saturday 10:00AM – 8:00PM
The Attraction may close early for special events or extend hours during peak periods.
