It first opened its doors in Pigeon Forge on May 11, 2012. Before that, this Tennessee museum was located in Gatlinburg, Tennessee.

Exploring the Hollywood Wax Museum

This museum is special because it's the biggest wax museum in the entire United States! The building itself is designed to celebrate the American film industry. It even has a Hollywood-themed version of Mount Rushmore on its side. You can also spot a giant ape climbing a six-story tall Empire State Building replica, right there in Pigeon Forge!

What You Can See Inside

The Hollywood Wax Museum is part of a bigger fun spot called the Hollywood Wax Museum Entertainment Center. This center is a family business, run by the people who started the original museum. Besides the wax figures, you can also explore other exciting attractions here. These include Hannah’s Maze of Mirrors, the Castle of Chaos, and Outbreak – Dread the Undead.

Fun Activities and Exhibits

The wax figures and the scenes they are in are often updated, so there's always something new to see! Beyond the wax figures, the museum offers more entertainment. You can play games in the arcade or experience a 4-D movie in the theater, like SpongeBob SquarePants 4-D. There's also a laser maze for you to try. Don't forget to check out the gift shop, where you can find cool souvenirs and items related to celebrities.
