Itinerary

The first wax museum in the country, Potter's Wax Museum in St. Augustine, provides guests with an interesting and memorable experience. It is a fascinating destination for visitors of all ages since it showcases lifelike wax replicas of historical personalities, famous persons, and imaginary characters.

Potter's, the country's first wax museum, has been entertaining visitors since 1949. George Potter had a fantasy of building his own wax museum in the United States, inspired by his childhood visit to a wax museum in London.

More than 160 distinct wax figurines, each an exact life-size replica of the men and women they portray, may be found at Potter's Wax Museum today. Before producing these astonishingly lifelike statues, artists and craftsmen in the British Museum researched the method extensively. "Every part of the figure is custom-tailored, using real hair that is grown by women in Italy and placed onto the figure a single strand at a time," founder George Potter said of his painstaking method. The hands are carved in Belgium using imported French wax, while the eyes are manufactured in Germany. One of the best designers in the business, Costumers to the Court of Saint James, created even the outfits.

Celebrities, athletes, newsmakers, and several contemporary characters are among the historical figures in the museum's collection. Place yourself next to Harry Potter, Elvis, Captain Jack Sparrow, and Tiger Woods.

Snap a photo with Brittany Spears, Michael Jordan, and Angelina Jolie. View Ponce de Leon, Princess Diana, and numerous other original Potter figures.

Each statue has an informational plaque that gives background information about their efforts and significance. Because of this, the visit is both enjoyable and instructive. There is a gift store within the museum where guests can buy books, postcards, and one-of-a-kind things that are connected to the museum's themes.

Both adults and kids of all ages can have fun at Potter's Wax Museum. We welcome school field trips and groups. Bring your camera, since there are wonderful photo opportunities with the figures!
