Once you get past the “musty smell”… The place is roomy, and clean. The carpets were jazzy (bright red, leopard print, etc). The figures were right there, so you could pose for pictures with them. Many looked real, and the outfits were great. I could even smell the leather scent of Angelina Jolie’s dress, I was impressed that the costumes were high-end.

You can take a pic in a Delorian with a Back to the Future theme, with a wax Oprah in a set designed to look like the show, and much more. I would be wary of taking kids in, only because they must be well behaved and not touch or pull on the figures.

The scary-horror section was VERY SCARY, so if you take a child you may wish to bypass this. My group was terrified amazed as the Freddy and Jason figures looked so so so real.

This museum has beautiful life-masks on the walls as well, which are fun to look at. These are poured over actor’s faces, and I guess the molds help the wax-makers construct the figures.

A nice array of past and present celebs, world leaders, fictional characters, and so on. Wish it was even larger because it was so much fun. MY fave was the Star Trek display (see below) and I just had to take a pic with the fellas. Beam me up Scotty! Caron went nuts for the chance to take a pic with her teenage sweetheart Michael J Fox (Back to the Future).

Some Pics…
