Shrek has been making audiences laugh, cheer and quote their favorite lines since the original movie premiered in 2001. In 2026, the beloved animated franchise is celebrating its 25th anniversary, with another big chapter ahead: Shrek 5 is scheduled to arrive in theaters on June 30, 2027.

For Shrek fans visiting Orlando, there is a chance to step into the world of Far Far Away without leaving International Drive. Madame Tussauds Orlando at ICON Park features lifelike wax figures of Shrek, Princess Fiona and Gingy, giving guests the opportunity to get up close, pose for photos and bring some of their favorite movie moments to life.

The attraction is an interactive celebrity experience and wax museum featuring more than 90 lifelike wax figures, so the Shrek experience is part of a much larger visit filled with movie, music, television, sports and pop culture figures.

Here's everything Shrek fans need to know about seeing Shrek in Orlando, the Shrek wax figure, Fiona and Gingy, the movies and what's coming with Shrek 5.

Meet Shrek, Fiona and Gingy at Madame Tussauds Orlando

Looking for where to meet Shrek in Orlando? Madame Tussauds Orlando is home to wax figures of Shrek, Princess Fiona and Gingy.

The figures give fans a chance to pose with the characters and take photos in a detailed Shrek-inspired setting. The experience brings the characters from the animated films into a real-world attraction, making it a fun stop for longtime fans, families and anyone planning a movie-inspired Orlando itinerary.

Shrek Character What You Can Do
Shrek Get up close to the iconic ogre and recreate your favorite Shrek moments
Princess Fiona Pose alongside the princess and capture a photo with Shrek
Gingy Snap a photo with the memorable gingerbread character

The Shrek wax figure is part of an immersive movie setting that recreates the feel of Shrek's swamp, including a rustic wooden cottage. It gives visitors more than a traditional museum display. You can step into the scene, pose with the figures and create your own Shrek-inspired photos.

The Shrek figures are included with admission to Madame Tussauds Orlando.

One important distinction: when fans search for a place to "meet Shrek in Orlando," the experience at Madame Tussauds Orlando is a chance to see and interact with the Shrek wax figure and the Fiona and Gingy wax figures, rather than a live character meet and greet.

Where Is Shrek in Orlando?

Madame Tussauds Orlando is located at ICON Park on International Drive in Orlando, Florida.

That makes it an easy addition to an Orlando itinerary, especially for visitors already exploring International Drive. The attraction is indoors and combines celebrity wax figures with interactive sets and photo opportunities.

Inside Madame Tussauds Orlando, the Shrek experience is part of the attraction's movie and film offerings. After taking photos with Shrek, Fiona and Gingy, guests can continue through the attraction to discover more famous figures from entertainment, music, sports, television and history.

For visitors searching for a wax museum in Orlando, Madame Tussauds offers a more interactive experience than simply walking through galleries and looking at figures behind barriers.

Why Is Shrek Still So Popular?

The original Shrek arrived in 2001 and quickly became one of the most recognizable animated films of its era.

The story follows Shrek, an ogre who prefers a quiet life in his swamp. His world changes when fairy tale characters are sent to live on his property, leading him on an adventure involving Lord Farquaad, Princess Fiona and Donkey.

At its heart, the first film plays with familiar fairy tale ideas while exploring friendship, love, acceptance and looking beyond appearances. Its humor, memorable characters and pop culture references helped the franchise connect with audiences across generations.

The original Shrek also made animation history by winning the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.

That lasting popularity is one reason the Shrek characters remain instantly recognizable more than two decades later.

The Shrek Movies in Order

Wondering how many Shrek movies there are or what order to watch them in?

There are currently four released mainline Shrek movies, followed by the upcoming Shrek 5. The wider franchise also includes two Puss in Boots films.

Movie Release Year Key Characters
Shrek 2001 Shrek, Fiona, Donkey, Lord Farquaad
Shrek 2 2004 Shrek, Fiona, Donkey, Puss in Boots
Shrek the Third 2007 Shrek, Fiona, Donkey, Puss in Boots
Shrek Forever After 2010 Shrek, Fiona, Donkey, Rumpelstiltskin
Shrek 5 2027 Shrek, Fiona, Donkey and new characters

The simplest way to revisit the main story is to watch the four released Shrek movies in release order before seeing Shrek 5.

Who Are the Main Shrek Characters?

The Shrek universe is filled with characters who have become pop culture favorites in their own right.

Shrek

Shrek is the central character of the franchise. He begins as a solitary ogre who wants to be left alone in his swamp, but his adventures lead him to friendship, love and family.

His character is at the center of the Madame Tussauds Orlando Shrek experience, where visitors can pose with the Shrek wax figure.

Princess Fiona

Princess Fiona is Shrek's wife and one of the franchise's most important characters.

She is confident, funny and capable, and her relationship with Shrek is central to the story across the films.

At Madame Tussauds Orlando, fans can pose with the Princess Fiona wax figure alongside Shrek and Gingy.

Donkey

Donkey is Shrek's energetic and talkative best friend. Eddie Murphy provides the character's voice in the films.

Although there is not a Donkey wax figure included in the Shrek experience at Madame Tussauds Orlando, he remains one of the franchise's most recognizable characters.

Gingy

Gingy is the memorable gingerbread character introduced in the original Shrek.

Small in size but big in personality, Gingy quickly became a fan favorite. At Madame Tussauds Orlando, visitors can pose with Gingy alongside Shrek and Fiona.

Puss in Boots

Puss in Boots joins the franchise in Shrek 2. Antonio Banderas voices the character, who went on to star in two films of his own: Puss in Boots and Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.

What Can Shrek Fans Do at Madame Tussauds Orlando?

The Shrek wax figures are one part of the larger Madame Tussauds Orlando experience.

The attraction features more than 90 lifelike wax figures and interactive experiences across themed areas covering movies, television, music, sports, history and other areas of popular culture.

For Shrek fans, the main attraction is the chance to:

  • Pose with the Shrek wax figure
  • Take photos with Princess Fiona
  • Snap a picture with Gingy
  • Explore the Shrek-inspired swamp setting
  • Continue through the attraction to see other movie and celebrity figures
  • Create additional photos in interactive sets throughout Madame Tussauds Orlando

That makes the attraction especially relevant for visitors who want more than a traditional museum experience. You are encouraged to get into the scenes, pose with the figures and become part of the experience.

Planning a Shrek Visit in Orlando

Madame Tussauds Orlando is at ICON Park on International Drive, putting the attraction within an entertainment district that also includes dining and other attractions.

Current admission options include individual Madame Tussauds tickets and combination tickets that can be used to visit other ICON Park attractions. Florida Residents also have dedicated ticket options, and current Annual Pass options can include unlimited admission to Madame Tussauds Orlando along with other Merlin attractions in the Orlando area.

For the most current pricing, availability and offers, check the official Madame Tussauds Orlando ticket options before your visit.

Can You Take Pictures With the Shrek Wax Figure?

Yes. Guests can pose and take photos with the Shrek, Princess Fiona and Gingy wax figures at Madame Tussauds Orlando.

The Shrek setting gives fans the opportunity to create photos inspired by the films rather than simply photographing a figure from a distance.

Try recreating your favorite Shrek expression, pose with Fiona or get the whole group together for a Far Far Away-inspired photo.

For fans visiting Orlando with friends or family, the interactive setup also makes it easy to create a shared photo rather than simply taking a picture of the wax figure by itself.

Why Visit Madame Tussauds Orlando for Shrek?

For Shrek fans, seeing the characters on screen and standing beside them are two very different experiences.

At Madame Tussauds Orlando, you can get close to the Shrek wax figure, pose with Princess Fiona and take a photo with Gingy. The setting turns a familiar animated world into a physical experience inside an Orlando attraction.

And with the original Shrek celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2026 and Shrek 5 scheduled for 2027, there is plenty of reason to revisit the franchise.

You don't have to travel to Far Far Away to see Shrek.
