It is a major tourist attraction, offering magnificent views of Central, Victoria Harbour, Lamma Island, and surrounding islands. Although the summit itself is occupied by radio communication facilities and not open to the public, the term 'Victoria Peak' usually refers to its surrounding areas, including parks, tourist facilities, and high-end residential areas such as Victoria Gap, Mount Kellett, and Mount Gough. Known for its beautiful panoramic views and a milder climate compared to other parts of Hong Kong, it has attracted prominent European residents since the 19th century.

Exhibits are divided into themed zones such as 'Hong Kong Glamour', 'Music Icons', 'Historical & National Heroes', 'The Champions', and 'World Premiere'. The wax museum regularly holds wax figure unveiling ceremonies, often attended by the celebrities themselves and their fans. In 2005, the museum underwent a major renovation costing HK$20 million (US$2.6 million) and reopened on May 18, 2006, with an increased exhibition area of 700 square meters across three floors, introducing five themed zones that allow visitors to interact with the wax figures in an immersive environment.

The area attracts large crowds on special occasions like Halloween or New Year's Eve, sometimes even leading to congestion due to the sheer number of people.
