St. Augustine: Potter's Wax Museum Ticket

Discover America's first wax museum located in the heart of historic St. Augustine, Florida. This wax museum offers guests the ability to interact with over 160 wax figures, ranging from Hollywood A-listers to individuals who have shaped national history. The inspiration behind Potter's Wax Museum came from a childhood trip to London taken by founder, George L. Potter. As a child, he was mesmerized by the life like figures and wanted to share his enjoyment with the American public. In 1947, Potter began contracting with GEMS of London, a noted wax studio, to create one of a kind figures for his museum. Potter employed artists from all over Europe to aide in this project with the wax imported from France, hair from Italy, and the sculpting taking place in Belgium. Opening it's doors in 1949, Potter's Wax Museum has served as an interactive, educational and fun attraction for visitors to the ancient city.

It was a wonderful experience with excellent guides. We hopped off to visit several venues, but each guide was great. I went with family and no children. We are all over the age of 70 (younger after drinking from the Fountain of Youth) and had no trouble getting on or off. We love history and felt this was a great learning and fun experience.

Hands down the best way to see the city. The guides are very knowledgeable about the upcoming stops with plenty of time to decide if you want to hop off or not. You can also buy tickets to museums and attractions 30% off at their ticket booths

So fun and spooky - honestly maybe a little too scary for small children, but perfectly fun and silly for adults. The actors were incredible too. We would definitely do it again!

Great way to explore the city without parking hassle! Will do it again for sure.

Unfortunately it rained, so the garden wasn't enjoyable
