Madame Tussaud and The Aquarium

 Mark and I decided the other week to do a couple of the popular attractions in London. The two that we picked are included in our Merlin Annual Passes which is great as it meant we didn't need to spend a penny.

Our first stop was at Madame Tussauds. Here they have many different waxwork models of lot of celebrities. They had different rooms which had different themes. Here is a list of some of the room and the models I recognised the most.

Hollywood- Russel Brand, Daniel Ratcliffe, Robert Pattinson, J Lo and Julia Roberts.
Sports- David Beckham and Lewis Hamilton (I'm not really a sports person)
Royalty- Prince William, Prince Harry, Prince Charles, The Queen and Diana.
Popstars- (now this one I knew loads) Cheryl Cole, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Michael Jackson, Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears and Kylie Minogue.
World Leaders- Barack Obama, David Cameron, Boris Johnson and Tony Blair.
Film- Shrek, Captain Jack Sparrow, Spider Man, Wolverine and Sherlock Holmes.
Obviously there was lots more but I would be here all day trying to type them out.

Also inside there was a scarey bit with live actors jumping out on you, of course I didn't go in there. Along with a booth where you can audition for X Factor, interaction games, a chance to have your picture taken and have it made into artwork by a famous artist, you could make a waxwork of your hand, a history of London ride where the seats were taxis and a new 4D superhero movie which was probably the best part.

As much as I enjoyed myself there I felt it was very over crowded and would of work better if they had a limit on the amount of people in each room as everyone seemed to be fighting to get a picture with the waxworks. I also found out home much they charge an adult to get in and that is £28 which is a lot condisering you are only looking a models, I think we was lucky that we didn't have to pay and if we did I don't think this would have been something I would want to do. I am glad we went as it's was an experience and a chance to see the figures but I don't think I will be going again.

Next we went to the London Aquarium, this is the second time we have been this year and we love it.
The new feature was the penguins which I have to say is now probably the best part, sorry sharks. They were so cute and funny and I could of watched them all day, the only downside was that the room was very crowded but then again this is a new feature and they were so faisnating to watch. Obvisouly when you go to an aquarium there are some boring parts but what do you expect when you have come to look at fish, they aren't going to start singing and dancing!

I had a much better time here and would go again and again. Would recommend the Aquarium to anyone, it's fun for both children and adults.
