The people at Potters are friendly and love history. While it is mostly a self tour, the presentation at the beginning is amazing. The exhibits are well marked and appropriately grouped. What I enjoyed the most were the presidents, I learned the most from the exhibits about the history of St Augustine. read more

The first and original wax museum that started it all. Miss Rachel gave me a brief intro before I walked around myself. She shared with me about the hundreds of hours it takes that is spent hand making these wax figures. This one, unlike the ones in other places is focused more on historic figures than mainly celebrities. They had people from all over the time line which I thought was cool. There were a few cool spots you could take photos with the figures as well. A few favorites were MLK, Beethoven and Abraham! Really amazing work they do here! read more

We visited this location for the spring break and it was so so. And my opinion, they could have more interesting things that would give us a wow or a come back type of feeling. read more

Potter's Wax Museum gives Madame T a run for it's money. This place is huge and has so many displays. I like the variety from all time periods so everyone can enjoy. Most of the figures were on point from the critical point in these great figure's lives. Not sure about the scale and heights though. The head and hands are wax, while the body is a mannequin. I enjoyed my time there are tickets were only like $15 dollars. Also if you purchase other attraction tickets there, you get discounts on them. The staff were very friendly and informative. Easy to find on the corner and you can see it from the Visitor's Center. read more

It's been a few years since I visited Potter's Wax Museum and while I've always enjoyed it as a stop, they have really improved the experience. There are interactive barcodes throughout where you can learn about all of the figures. The spaces are now organized, put into categories and the space maximized to get the most out of your tour. You can even watch wax figures being made during your visit. If you haven't been for a while, I highly suggest you check out the upgrades. It's a different place, it's a must-do on your trip to Saint Augustine. read more

Great place! This was the first wax museum I have been to and I would say it was a great start. They had a lot of photo opportunities. They also had some informational signs telling the life and backstory of each person which depended the understanding of them. They had a lot of famous and familiar people. Overall, I loved the experience, great memories made! read more

I was surprised at how many figures there were and how well laid out the progression was to go through them all. It is a tight fit, but plenty of room to take pictures. read more

Wife and I went in on a whim and decided to take the tour. The owners were very friendly and helpful. My wife asked if they knew where we could get soft shell crab, and the gal called restaurants to find out if they were serving while we were in the museum. The museum was great, it was everyone you want to see in wax. Makes for a some great bits. read more

As part of the Ghosts & Gravestones tour, we stopped at Potter's Wax Museum, which was very cool to check out at night. The tourist attraction has a different energy from during the day, making all the wax figures all the spookier. From the moment you enter, you feel a different vibe that's quirky and macabre at the same time. I enjoyed the dungeon-like horror room part of the exhibit, which gives a dark, unsettling vibe if you're visiting at night. Touring the wax museum is part of the whole experience of visiting St. Augustine for the first time, especially the historic district. read more

Amazing! The wax museum was at the end of my tourist journey. I'm so glad that I didn't skip this little gem. The skill used to create these figures is astounding. They're very life like. I felt somewhat uneasy as I madey way through the exhibit, expected movement. Impressive. Affordable. Worth the trip. read more

This is a really fun museum to visit. We got our tickets through the hop on hop off city trolly tour. When we showed up the museum was only open for 10-15 more minutes. The staff treated us like we were their first customers while letting us know they were about to close. This museum does not take a long time to go through, however you will be amazed at how many wax statues they have and how life like they are. I loved Ray Charles at the piano, the Presidents exhibit, Michael Jordan and the Friends exhibit. There are alot of statues and their likeness is spot on. I truly recommend a visit to this museum. You will be in and out, take lots of pictures and possibly relive some memories as you look at each character. read more

Wax museums aren't really my thing but this was something to do. Turned out I like it. They have a lot of figures, and while you can't touch them, you can take pictures of and with them. Presidents, celebrities, a horror section, etc... If you work in the hospitality industry and have the Florida Hospitality Industry Association card, this attraction is free. read more

This museum is super cool! I was on the fence about coming here, as I have been to a large one in NYC, but this blew that out of the water. You can tell that so much love and thought went in to curate these amazing exhibits. I love the historic aspect to the building, as well as the exhibits. The sculptures are absolutely mind-blowing, they are so realistic! Definitely check this out! read more

What a very cool freaking place. The Potter wax museum is the first one in the US which also makes it the oldest. As you walk in the door your greeted with a friendly smile from a nice lady as with us telling you about the museum. Once you buy your tickets she begins to make you feel a wax face on the counter an tells you now that you know what they feel like please do not touch the figures. She then tells you about the first, oldest an historical wax figures that Potter made right inside before you head on the tour by yourself. They are Very interesting an cool. As you walk thru there are some celebrities from today a horror room an then people from the past. It's amazing how real they all look. An when you look them in the eye it's crazy like they are really looking at you lol. There were so many wax figures from the beginning of Romans to Queens, presidents, inventors, an dictators. To writers an musicians to artists. I highly recommend going am checking it out if your in the area. It's great an the price is great. The pictures will not do it justice. read more

Please skip this place. It is nothing but a tourist trap. $10 a person is WAY to much. The wax figures were not realistic and honestly creepy. Not to mention there was a HITLER wax figure. Why do we need one of him and glorify such a disgusting person? There were no modern celebrities just old people which is cool if your into that but it's a bit misleading as it's advertised to see your "favorite" Celebrity. It smelled bad and just not a good experience. I can't imagine making these figures is easy but it's just so expensive for what it is. The only part I enjoyed was all the medicines. read more

Vast array of figures, spanning history from thousands of years ago. I really enjoyed this. I did not go into the scary section, which is separated off in another room. The reality is that the mon-scary figures creeped me out enough! Ha. I really enjoyed it, but, as I was walking through it alone, (hubby waited outside with our dog - no dogs in the museum), it did get a little creepy... lol read more

I am not a museum type of person but I like this one. Although the place is small and has lots of history. The figures are real life looking and you can take pictures with them as long as you do not touch them. I enjoyed taking pictures. Also, we tried the Ghost tour and the stopped here for a show and it was interesting. read more

This place was really awesome ordered tickets online and went through it later that day. A lot of great historical figures. Not just celebrities from the recent century. There were even wax heads of early presidents in the women's restroom. I just wish they had more figures in the horror section of the exhibit. It was cool how some had audio and I'm really stoked there was a star wars section included. read more

it's not a Madame Tussauds but this place is super cool! We spent about an hour and a half looking around at the wax figures and reading all of the historical information with them. It was actually pretty educational. I really liked how they had such a good mixture of historical and current figures. The collection included Harry Potter, Star Wars, past government, etc. My favorite part was Henry VIII and all of his wives and daughters. read more

Potter's Wax Museum was our last stop in St. Augustine. It was well worth the $10 admission price. Currently housed in the country's oldest pharmacy, the exhibits are all so detailed. There is often an artist on site, but the day I visited there was not. Still it was interesting to see the work space of one of them. Many of the figures look so perfect, others, I don't know, there's something Off about them. I think what it is, is that little spark of LIFE that is missing. My favorite exhibit was the horror portion. The creature of the Black Lagoon and Frankenstein were both painstakenly re-created. They were phenomenal It's worth a visit. read more

This was probably the best tour we did in st Augustin. It is worth it, the variety and exhibit presentation was awesome. I would've liked to see more celebrities, they have a Britney Spears/Elvis Presley that needs work (it doesn't look like them at all). Most of the wax statues are pretty good. I highly recommend this tour. read more

The staff was all friendly and welcoming. Everything looked so real. It's definitely a place to go to. There's so many different wax figures to see and you can take as many pictures and videos as you would like. They also give you a sticker at the beginning & you walk around freely at your own pace. read more

One of the best wax museums I found in the world. It is small and is fun for a family activity. This is one of the stops on old town trolley tours. This place is across the street from the huge parking garage. They do have military discount. read more

Finally pulled into this museum by my Mother-In-Law, we took our first look-see. As in ANY attraction in St. A - it costs $9 per person to get in. Watch out here in this town. Make sure you really, really want to see whatever it is you pull out your wallet for, otherwise you will find yourself spending no less than $100 x day going to see the sights. I have never been to a wax museum before and I must say it was eerie and creepy to be so close and personal to these statues. Some looked so real, some just looked creepy. My fav? Michael Jordan, he did look almost lifelike and this Chicago girl was impressed, I love MJ. Can I say go or don't go? If you enjoy this kind of thing absolutely go inside. read more

This was a fun self-tour. A little bit for everyone. The price is only $6.99 if you have a bus tour sticker or a coupon from one of the little coupon books that are everywhere. read more

Very realistic and breath-taking! The price was very reasonable and well worth it. A lot of times it feels as if you're actually looking at real people. Potter's Wax Museum features presidents, actors, scientists, kings, queens, and much more. Potter's also features the country's oldest pharmacy. I would definitely recommend Potter's Wax to anyone visiting St Augustine! read more

Not your typical wax museum. Much older models and therefore more impressive. Got fun facts about many very well known people.

I enjoyed my trip to Potter's wax museum - I am a fan! It's good family fun and a little bit creepy. I kept half-expecting the models to move - they are very life-like. The signs were excellent - we learned a lot of new information about many of the historical figures on display. Reasonably priced tourist-friendly stop in St. Augustine. To the Negative Nancys yelping down on this place, I say, "of course it's a tourist trap, its a wax museum!" Some of it is out of date, but I imagine it takes a lot of time and money to make an accurate life-sized model of a person out of wax... why get rid of it after just a couple of years? This place doesn't seem to be getting rich quick so I imagine they don't get a lot of turnover in their inventory, either. read more
