This month, we’re going the world famous Madame Tussauds Wax Museum. Free Admission! Come visit the brand new Presidents Gallery featuring a wax sculpture for every US President. Now is your chance to get that photo op with William Henry Harrison and see if you can fit your arms around Taft. Or, if that’s not your thing, there will be ample opportunity to get bodied with Beyonce or ruin a marriage with Angelina Jolie. Or…just enjoy the cocktails. We’ll probably do the ticket thing again. I know it’s weird, but it really does cut down the lines.
