A lot of fun and great to see all the American presidents. We paid to have our photo taken in the mock oval office set up. It was well worth the price and gave us a wonderful momento of our trip to Washington DC. The Uncle Sam exhibit was also very good.

Madame Tussaud's is a uniquely interactive and immersive experience. It features wax sculptures of famous figures from politicians, culture, sports, music and television. We really enjoyed the experience.

We love Madame Tussauds. You can see all 45 presidential figures in Wax at Madame Tussauds of Washington, DC. Carefully crafted in size, shape, and character you can stand next to each and every one, read their history, and see how you measure up in so many ways. Sit within the oval office or give a speech at the presidential podium complete with the presidential seal. Madame Tussauds also has many interactive exhibits testing your presidential knowledge and highlighting moments in history that challenged our presidents during their time in the White House. For those not as interested in the Presidents, the Washington, DC Madame Tussauds also has George Clooney, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, and many other wax celebrities similar to other Madame Tussauds locations

We thoroughly enjoyed this visit. The collection of presidents’ figures is truly impressive. They are very real looking. I also found reading facts about presidents very interesting. Great interactive elements included. I would like to point out that booking the tickets on TripAdvisor was $17.35, while on the museum’s website - $21 online $26 at the door. That was a pleasant surprise. The visit was worth every dollar!

Love this particular Madame Tussauds focuses on Presidents of United States. It's great to see all of them as almost life-like statues. Some of them look very real especially their eyes. The photo ops in the oval office and with the Obama's are very fun and the pictures look great.

If you buy online are your meant to book a particular day and time. I can’t find anything. How do they know when you’re coming. Thanks

This was included in the cost of the city bus tour. The bus takes you there, you see the wax figures and then get on another bus when you are done. I visited WA DC in October when it wasn't very busy. I'm not sure if there is an added fee for Madam Tussad's other times of the year. The day you buy your tickets for the bus is the day you visit Madam Tussad's.

I'm not 100 percent sure. But I'm pretty sure you could find a bundle deal or a discount ticket if you buy in advance.
could i fit a carry-on luggage in the lockers?

Unfortunately, our lockers cannot accommodate luggage. They are large enough to fit jackets and bags.
