Established on illustrious Hollywood Boulevard, in the shadow of the iconic Hollywood sign and along the legendary Walk of Fame, this longest-running wax museum in the United States debuted on busy Hollywood Boulevard February 6, 1965 in a historic building that once housed the fabled Embassy Club, host to ultra-exclusive, star-studded gatherings of Old Hollywood’s top 300 celebrities and industry executives. Launched with entrepreneur Spoony Singh’s vision of bringing doting fans closer to their big-screen idols, the Hollywood Wax Museum, the only wax menagerie in the country to feature VIPS exclusively, has been treating star-struck travelers to dazzling Tinseltown to an extraordinary meet and mingle with their favorite heros and heroines for the past 45 years.

When you’ve gawked, posed and snapped ‘til you can pose no more, step outside the museum for a little “real people of Hollywood” espial, then grab a legendary burger and frosty shake at neighborhood favorite Mel’s Diner or duck into Musso and Frank’s–the oldest eatery in Hollywood-for tried-and-true American/Continental fare and a classic cocktail or two!
