About Palm Springs Aerial Tramway + Madame Tussauds Hollywood Ticket
The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway and Madame Tussauds Hollywood Combo covers two of Southern California's most entertaining and visually spectacular experiences — one rooted in the extraordinary natural landscape of the desert mountains, the other in the glittering world of Hollywood celebrity culture.
At the Tramway, the world's largest rotating tramcar delivers one of the most dramatic 10-minute rides in North America — from desert heat to cool mountain air, arriving at 8,516 feet with panoramic views, mountain trails, and a completely different world from the valley below. At Madame Tussauds Hollywood, three floors of immersive themed zones, 130+ lifelike celebrity figures, and the Marvel Universe 4D Movie deliver a non-stop, camera-ready entertainment experience in the heart of the Walk of Fame.
Both experiences can be visited on separate days within the combo ticket validity period. Book your Palm Springs Aerial Tramway and Madame Tussauds Hollywood Combo ticket now on Thrillark and save up to 20%.

Insiders' Tips
At Madame Tussauds Hollywood, visit on a weekday morning between opening and 3:00 PM for the quietest and most photogenic experience — the celebrity zones are most accessible and least crowded in the first two hours. At the Tramway, bring layers regardless of the season as Mountain Station temperatures are 30 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than the desert floor below.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway and Madame Tussauds Hollywood combo ticket include?
The combo includes a round-trip rotating tramcar ride at the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway with full access to Mountain Station and Mt. San Jacinto State Park hiking trails, plus general admission to Madame Tussauds Hollywood covering all three floors, 18 themed zones, 130+ wax figures, and the Marvel Universe 4D Movie. Both venues can be visited on separate days within the ticket validity period.
What is the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway experience like?
The Aerial Tramway is the world's largest rotating tramcar, ascending nearly 6,000 vertical feet from the desert floor to Mt. San Jacinto State Park at 8,516 feet in just 10 minutes — offering a complete 360-degree panoramic view as five distinct vegetation zones pass below. At the top, temperatures drop 30 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit and guests enjoy observation decks, restaurants, hiking trails, and the extraordinary contrast of arriving in a cool pine wilderness from the sun-baked desert.
Who can I see at Madame Tussauds Hollywood?
Madame Tussauds Hollywood features over 130 lifelike celebrity wax figures across seven themed zones including Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande, Michael Jackson, Harry Styles, Bad Bunny, Ryan Gosling, Dwayne Johnson, Robin Williams, Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, and many more Hollywood legends, contemporary A-listers, and pop culture icons. New figures are regularly added to keep the collection current with the latest stars.
What is the Marvel Universe 4D Movie at Madame Tussauds Hollywood?
The Marvel Universe 4D Movie is an immersive cinematic experience included with general admission, using wind, water, and motion seat effects to place visitors alongside Spider-Man, Thor, Captain Marvel, and Black Panther in a battle against Loki. It is one of the most talked-about experiences at Madame Tussauds Hollywood and is particularly popular with younger visitors and superhero fans.
What are the optional upgrades available at Madame Tussauds Hollywood?
Optional paid upgrades include the Robot Riot 7D Game with motion seats and laser blasters, the Wax Hands station where you can create a personalised wax hand souvenir, and the Virtual Reality Room for guests aged 12 and above. These must be purchased separately on site and are not included in the standard general admission combo ticket.
How far apart are the Aerial Tramway and Madame Tussauds Hollywood?
The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway is approximately 100 miles and 2 hours by car from Madame Tussauds Hollywood, making them best visited on separate days within the combo ticket validity period. A popular approach is to visit Madame Tussauds Hollywood on one day as part of a broader Hollywood Walk of Fame outing, then take a day trip to the Tramway on a separate day.
Is the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway suitable for all fitness levels?
Yes — the tramcar ride itself requires no physical effort and is accessible to all ages and fitness levels, including wheelchair users and families with strollers. Hiking at the Mountain Station is entirely optional and trails range from an easy 30-minute flat loop to the challenging 11-mile round trip to San Jacinto Peak, so visitors can tailor the experience to their preferred activity level.
What should I wear to the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway?
Bring a warm jacket or layer regardless of the season — Mountain Station temperatures are consistently 30 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than the valley floor, which can feel dramatically cold when stepping off the tramcar from the desert heat below. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended for exploring the Mountain Station area and any hiking trails, and sunscreen is advised for the descent back through the open desert.
Is Madame Tussauds Hollywood suitable for young children?
Yes, Madame Tussauds Hollywood is family-friendly and entertaining for visitors of all ages — the interactive themed zones, celebrity figures, and Marvel 4D Movie are equally engaging for children and adults. All guests under 18 must be accompanied by an adult, and the Virtual Reality Room is restricted to guests aged 12 and above.
Do I need to book the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway and Madame Tussauds Hollywood combo ticket in advance?
Booking is strongly recommended for both venues, particularly for Madame Tussauds Hollywood during peak Hollywood tourist season and for the Tramway on busy weekend and holiday dates when tramcar queues can build at the Valley Station. Booking through Thrillark saves up to 20% on the standard combined rate with instant confirmation, and always confirm the Tramway is not in its annual maintenance closure before scheduling your visit.
