How does Madame Tussauds accommodate Guests with disabilities?

Our facilities are designed to be fully accessible to guests with a disability. Our trained staff will ensure that guests who require assistance are transported safely by means of an elevator designated for this purpose.

Can I use my own wheelchair inside Madame Tussauds?

Can I bring my Service Animal to Madame Tussauds?

Service Animals are welcomed inside the attraction.  At Madame Tussauds, a service animal is a dog or miniature horse that is trained to do work or perform tasks for, and to assist, an individual with a disability.  Service animals must be under the control of the owner at all times and should remain on a leash or in a harness.  Employees are not able to take control of service animals.
