What To Expect

Potter's Wax Museum

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. At Potter's, you can interact with historic figures such as, Ponce de Leon, Albert Einstein, and Princess Diana, take a picture with Michael Jordon or Angelina Jolie; or imagine you are on set with Harry Potter and "He Who Must Not Be Named." Enjoy this unique St Augustine attraction.

Enjoyed our time here. Attention to detail, says it all. Lots of hours spent into making the figures. This was part of the trolley train, which was very handy for us. Everybody back then was thin.

My friend and I bought tickets ahead of time and it showed on the website they were open till 8 on Saturday. We got there and were very disappointed they closed at 5. We went back Sunday morning and explained what happened and they gladly honored our tickets. Very friendly staff. It was a very fun time! The only downside is they do not allow you to remove your mask even to take a quick picture. Otherwise it was worth it!

Was looking forward to Potter's Wax Museum since booking this trip! TripAdvisor website listed them open till 8pm. Bought tickets for Saturday. Got to museum at 5:35pm...they were closed! Closed at 5pm! So disappointed. I will try to see if my ticket will be honored on Sunday. Wish me luck!
