Good to know when visiting Madame Tussauds Hollywood
Getting to Madame Tussauds Hollywood is remarkably easy, thanks to its prominent location right next door to the famous TCL Chinese Theatre. There's some on-site parking, but it can be costly. This is doubly true for the parking at Hollywood and Highland Centre.
The best way to travel along this busy street is to take the metro. From the Metro Red Line's Hollywood/Highland Station, Madame Tussauds Hollywood is just a 3-minute walk. Its central location on Hollywood Boulevard also puts you close to other museums, like the Guinness World Records Museum on the other side of the street.
