If you're looking for a more relaxed experience at the museum, visiting on a weekday is your best option. Monday through Thursday generally see fewer crowds, allowing you to take your time exploring the exhibits. You’ll be able to snap photos with your favorite wax figures like Taylor Swift or Superman without waiting in long lines or feeling rushed.
On the other hand, if you love a lively atmosphere and enjoy being surrounded by energy, consider visiting on the weekend. Friday through Sunday tend to be busier, with a vibrant crowd that includes families and tourists looking to make the most of their weekends. If you don’t mind sharing the space with fellow fans and are up for some fun, weekends can be a great choice for your visit.
The peak tourist season typically runs from mid-June to August. During these months, the weather is hot and humid, with temperatures often soaring into the high 80s to low 90s Fahrenheit (30-35°C). You can expect afternoon thunderstorms, which are common in the summer, adding to the humidity. With increased footfall, you can expect up to 50% surge in accommodation rates in the city. So plan your visit at least a month in advance.
Visiting during the low season, from mid-January to February, and again from September to early November. This is when you can enjoy a quieter and less crowded experience. Plus, the weather is usually pleasant, with temperatures in the comfortable 70s Fahrenheit (20-25°C), making it perfect for some outdoor fun before or after your museum visit.
