- Author: Matt Meyers
Summer in Orlando means blockbuster movies, major music moments, sports, family vacations and plenty of reasons to spend time indoors between adventures. For celebrity and pop culture fans, Madame Tussauds Orlando at ICON Park offers a chance to get closer to famous faces without leaving International Drive.
The attraction features more than 90 lifelike wax figures and interactive experiences spanning music, movies, television, sports, superheroes, history and popular culture. Guests can pose with stars, step into themed scenes and create their own celebrity moments throughout the attraction.
For Summer 2027, the biggest names and experiences may evolve as new figures arrive and existing figures change. No official Summer 2027 celebrity launch lineup has been announced yet, so this guide focuses on confirmed current figures and experiences, plus the pop culture moments already giving Orlando visitors a reason to plan ahead.
What Can You See at Madame Tussauds Orlando in Summer 2027?
Madame Tussauds Orlando's lineup brings together celebrities and cultural icons from several entertainment categories. Current official content highlights stars including Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Selena Gomez, Simu Liu, Jeff Goldblum, Lionel Messi, Dwayne Johnson, Ariana Grande, Bad Bunny and Pitbull, among many others.
The exact lineup can change, so visitors planning a trip for Summer 2027 should check the official What's New and attraction pages close to their visit.
Here are some of the current figures and pop culture experiences worth watching:
| Celebrity or Experience | Category | Why It Matters for Summer 2027 |
|---|---|---|
| Taylor Swift | Music | A current Music Stars figure and a major celebrity search destination for Swifties |
| Beyoncé | Music | Her Cowboy Carter-inspired figure adds a current pop culture look |
| Ariana Grande | Music | A popular figure for music and entertainment fans |
| Bad Bunny | Music | A strong connection for Latin music and global pop culture fans |
| Pitbull | Music | A Florida-connected music icon with an interactive celebrity experience |

| Simu Liu | Movies | A newer Orlando figure for fans of Shang-Chi and Barbie |
| Jeff Goldblum | Movies | A newer figure tied to one of Hollywood's recognizable actors |
| Selena Gomez | Music & Entertainment | A red-carpet figure representing her music, film and fashion career |
| Lionel Messi | Sports | A major international sports figure and popular soccer connection |

Current official information identifies Simu Liu's Orlando figure as a 2026 arrival, while Jeff Goldblum and the current Taylor Swift, Beyoncé and Selena Gomez figures are also highlighted by the attraction.
A Summer 2027 Pop Culture Highlight: Shrek 5
One of the most useful 2027 connections for families and movie fans is already on the calendar.
Shrek 5 is currently scheduled to arrive in theaters on June 30, 2027. Madame Tussauds Orlando also features wax figures of Shrek, Princess Fiona and Gingy, giving visitors a way to connect the upcoming movie with an in-person Orlando experience.
That makes Summer 2027 a natural time for Shrek fans to revisit the characters before or after seeing the new movie.
At Madame Tussauds Orlando, guests can:
- Pose with Shrek
- Take photos with Princess Fiona
- Capture a picture with Gingy
- Explore other movie and celebrity figures throughout the attraction
- Continue exploring ICON Park and International Drive
The attraction's Shrek experience is especially relevant for families because it connects a familiar movie franchise with an interactive attraction rather than a traditional museum display.
Meet Music Stars at Madame Tussauds Orlando
Music is one of the major parts of the Madame Tussauds Orlando experience.
The Music Stars area currently features recognizable artists including Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Ariana Grande, Bad Bunny, Selena Gomez, Harry Styles and Elvis Presley. Guests can step into music-inspired environments and create photos with the figures rather than simply viewing them behind barriers.
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift remains one of the attraction's major celebrity draws. The Orlando figure represents Swift's Reputation era, with a black sequined Roberto Cavalli catsuit, red snake detailing and a matching microphone inspired by her Eras Tour look.
For Swifties planning an Orlando vacation, this creates an opportunity to make Taylor-themed photos part of a wider International Drive itinerary.
Beyoncé
Beyoncé's current Orlando figure celebrates her Cowboy Carter era. The figure features an American flag-inspired red, white and blue look with a cowboy hat, boots and other details inspired by the era.
Ariana Grande
Ariana Grande's wax figure is located in the Music Stars area and gives fans an opportunity to create their own photo moment with the singer. Her current figure is styled around her recognizable pop-star image and 7 Rings era.
Bad Bunny and Pitbull
Bad Bunny and Pitbull add a strong Latin music and Florida connection to the attraction. Bad Bunny's Orlando figure gives fans a chance to get close to one of Puerto Rico's most recognizable global artists, while Pitbull's figure celebrates the Miami-born entertainer known around the world as Mr. Worldwide.
See Movie and Television Stars
Movie and television fans can explore dedicated areas featuring recognizable actors and entertainment personalities.
Current official content highlights figures such as Dwayne Johnson, Simu Liu, Jeff Goldblum, Zendaya, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ryan Reynolds and Johnny Depp among the movie and celebrity lineup.
Dwayne Johnson
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has a dedicated action-inspired wax figure at Madame Tussauds Orlando. His figure was created for multiple Madame Tussauds locations and the Orlando version uses an action movie-inspired scene with lights, sound, wind and fog.
Simu Liu
Simu Liu's Orlando wax figure arrived in 2026 and is styled in a mulberry suit inspired by his appearance at the 2024 People's Choice Awards. Fans of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and Barbie can see the figure at ICON Park.
Jeff Goldblum
Jeff Goldblum is another recent addition to the Orlando lineup. His figure was introduced ahead of Wicked: For Good and features a black leather jacket, dark jeans, Chelsea boots and tinted glasses.
Explore Sports, Superheroes and More
Madame Tussauds Orlando is not limited to actors and musicians.
The attraction also includes Sports, Justice League: A Call for Heroes, TV Stars, History & Leaders, Movie & Film Stars and A-List Party areas.
Sports fans can look for figures including Lionel Messi and other sporting legends, while superhero fans can enter the Justice League experience featuring Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, The Flash and Cyborg. Guests can interact with elements of the superhero environment rather than simply viewing static figures.
This variety makes Madame Tussauds Orlando particularly useful for groups with different interests. One person can head for the Music Stars area while another looks for favorite movie characters, athletes or superheroes.
Why Madame Tussauds Orlando Works for an Orlando Summer Vacation
Summer in Central Florida can mean long days outside, busy attractions and unpredictable weather. Madame Tussauds Orlando provides an indoor, air-conditioned experience on International Drive, making it an easy option to add to an Orlando itinerary.
It also offers a different type of attraction experience from a traditional museum.
You are encouraged to interact with the environment, pose with figures and take photos. The attraction is designed around celebrity experiences rather than simply walking through exhibits and reading information panels.
That makes it relevant for:
- Families visiting Orlando
- Pop culture fans
- Music fans
- Movie and television fans
- Sports fans
- Teenagers and young adults
- Couples
- Friends traveling together
- Visitors looking for indoor activities on International Drive
- Guests planning a day at ICON Park

What Makes Madame Tussauds Different From a Traditional Wax Museum?
Madame Tussauds Orlando is designed as an interactive celebrity experience and wax museum.

The attraction currently includes more than 90 lifelike wax figures across multiple themed areas, creating a broader pop culture experience than a traditional museum visit.
That distinction is particularly useful for visitors deciding between different Orlando attractions. Madame Tussauds Orlando is less about viewing artifacts from behind glass and more about becoming part of the scene.
