Although this attraction in Times Square is marketed as a tourist destination, it's really a fun playground for locals, too. In a city with millions of things to see and do, there is only one place where you can get up close with these incredible wax figures of celebrities, historical icons, and sports legends. The museum also hosts private events and birthday parties.
If you haven't been to Madame Tussauds, put it on your list of things to do over the summer. Pick a super hot day because their air conditioning is pumping and makes for a refreshing break from the heat.
