Excellent Wax Museum Showing Several World Celebrities
As per our tour programme, we left for Pune on 3rd day for Pune. Our driver, who was with us for last 2 days in Mumbai was changed besides the car by out travel agent and the new driver was more familiar with Pune and ghat road from Mumbai. In fact, we had already planned to visit the Wax Museum in Lonavala as the wax museum of Mumbai was closed. After about 2-hour drive we reached Square Market close to Mumbai-Pune Road. It is a shopping comlex and Sunil's wax museum is also situated here besides many other attractions. We had to wait for about 30 minutes because earlier batches of visitors were already inside. About 20 persons are generally taken in one batch and 2 matches are taken together. The ticket price is 200/- rupees. A guide accompanied us and narrated about various wax statues installed inside. There are about 100 wax statues of sevral celebraties including political leaders, movie actors, social activists, sports persons and famous artists, alive as well dead. I shall naame a few. We saw the wax statues of Mahatma Gandhi, Indira Gandhi, Bal Thakre, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Anna Hazare, Narender Modi, Michael Jackson, Baba Ramdev, Virat Kohli, Kapil Dev, Classic singer MS Subbalaxmi, Kareena Kapoor, Rajni Kant, Arab Belly dancer Nadia Hussein and many others. Photographs of some celebrities are attached. This Square market has provision for rest rooms but these are not well maintained. There are a few kiosks selling snacks and soft as well as hot drinks. This was our first visit to a Wax Museum, though I have heard of Madame Tussad Museum in England which is known to be the best, However, I found Lonavala Wax Museum to have real to life statues. A film was also screened to narrate the background efforts taken to make these wax statues. On the whole, I strongly recommend to visit this museum.

Most popular Museum of Suinl's Venture
Though there are multiple Wax Museums in Lonavala, people attracts towards Sunil Wax Museum. This is what made me curious to think about me to check more about Sunil wax museum background. Whatever information i could able to gather I have given below if you are interested you can go through the same. If you are reading this review only to know about Sunil's wax museum, no doubt you can visit but only drawback is maintenance is very poor. There are more than 100 statues at Lonavala Wax Museum. The best I personally felt is Thakare' s Statue. It seems to be real one and so nicely made. some of the statue's are not so realistic. History about Sunil's Wax museum: Sunil's full name is Sunil Kandallor who born in a small village of Alappuzha district of Kerala. He has two brothers Sujith and Subash who are also part of this venture. The first full scale was statue that Sunil made was that of the former Kerala Chief minister Karunakaran and the second one was that of E.K. Narayanar who is also another former chief minister of Kerala. Sunil's Wax Museum venture started on 08th January 2010. Devgad and Thiruvanthapuram Museum's are opened in the year 2017. Sunil's Wax Museum is spread across three cities in India out of which this Lonavala Wax Museum more popular. The Second one is at Devgad, Maharashtra State. The third one is latest one which is opened recently in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala State. Surprise news is he also obtained permission to start 4th one inside the Statue of Unity which is world largest statue. There were two Museums one at Kanyakumari and one at Kochi, but both were shutdown over time. I had visited Kanyakumari museum few years back. Museum Timings: Morning 09:00 to Evening 09:30 Entry Tickets: 200 INR per adults and free for Children's below 5 years

Not a must visit place but only if you have time.
I would call it an average wax museum. The old statues are not maintained now. But for the effort Sunil made to get this place is commendable. You may skip but if you have kids show them around they'll have fun and might learn a bit too.

Statues come alive
Museum is at a walkable distance from the railway station. Entry fees is 200 Rs per person for museum. Apart from museum there are other attractions like horror house etc for which separate ticket needs to be purchased or you can buy a combo ticket in the beginning itself. There are couple of other was museums in Lonavala.
