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.

Very lifelike figures. The bar keeper in particular looked quite ready to sell us a drink. Figures were sometimes grouped by event or activity. For instance, WWII generals or writers. Some were on their own, such as one of Brittany Spears. Information provided for all figures. Very informative. The costumes for the original figures were made by royal costumers. These alone were said to be very valuable. Figures are being added. Had a horror chamber for those not faint in heart. Highly recommended.

You can’t beat this experience for the price. Sure it’s cool to see wax figures - and some of them look so eerily real, I stared back for a very long time expecting a blink - but PWM is also a walking history lesson about every character’s contribution to life and how they died. There are also so many nods to the local history, it’s easy to see why folks flock to the First Coast. From Ponte de Leon to the Creature from the Black Lagoon (both Floridians, in case you didn’t know), Potter’s has it all. On a side note, my macabre sense of entertainment was fulfilled reading about all of Henry VIII’s wives. Spoiler alert, they were not all beheaded!

This was so much fun! I think this may have been the best part of my visit. The staff was great! I enjoyed all the wax people! It's so cool how much they really look like the real people! I most definitely will be back!
