Madame Tussauds Hong Kong is fun and worth visiting. The characters in it will be updated from time to time. It is not necessary to print out the paper. QR CODE screenshots can also be used.

You need to go through three gates to get to the platform. And the platform will close about 15 minutes earlier. It is recommended to arrive at least 45 minutes early. No need to show Klook proof, just use ID.

Entering the gate through the manual counter is very fast, and you can go to the gate and platform very quickly. You don’t need to show Klook proof, you just need to use your hometown return permit.

The redemption is easy. Just proceed to the entrance for the staff to scan on the QR code. We have so much fun and kids enjoying almost every single attraction. It wasn't peak season so we get to enjoy the rides without much queue. The entire place very clean and their maintenance are top notch even after so many decades.
