Conveniently located on the Outer Circle of Connaught Place in New Delhi, Madame Tussauds Delhi is an easy stop on any city center sightseeing tour, and many travelers visit the museum independently. Purchase discount tickets ahead of time online, or opt for a VIP package that includes skip-the-line entry.
Tickets are for one-time use only—there are no in-and-out privileges.
While Madame Tussauds Delhi is wheelchair-accessible, only one wheelchair can be accommodated at a time.
Baby strollers are not allowed inside.
Visitors can have a souvenir wax model made of their own hands.
The efficient, clean, cheap, and air-conditioned Delhi Metro is the most convenient way of getting around Delhi, plus, you won’t get stuck in the city’s terrible traffic. To get to Madame Tussauds Delhi, take the metro to Rajv Chowk, the busy interchange in the center of Connaught Place. From there, the museum is just a short walk away.
Madame Tussauds Delhi is open every day of the week, with slightly longer hours on weekends. Saturdays and Sundays are the busiest times to visit, as the museum is a popular attraction with locals, so visit midweek if possible.
Another family-friendly attraction near Madame Tussauds Delhi is the Jantar Mantar, an outdoor park full of enormous astronomical instruments dating from the early 18th century. There’s a huge sundial, which you could tell the time with if you knew how. The park is also full of squirrels, as well as shady spots for relaxing on a hot day.
