About Wax Museum at Fisherman's Wharf

The Wax Museum at Fisherman's Wharf introduces visitors to more than 250 of history's most notable personas with a labyrinth of realistic sculptures situated in elaborate displays. More than 50 scenes span the entire museum, providing ample room for the paraffin personalities to depict a millennium of historic milestones and portray the contemporary world's most popular candles. Wax artisans craft an array of themed exhibits including the far-reaching History section, in which humanitarians, scientists, artists, and dictators live out the impacts they placed on the world. In the Palace of Living Art, patrons witness the inception of their favorite masterpieces, admiring as Mona Lisa sits for her immortal portrait. King Tut's Magnificent Tomb unveils the life of one of the ancient world's most well-known rulers, and the Presidential Library brings past U.S. leaders together to finally determine which one left the milk out.

Had a great time. I had never been before and it was much bigger than I expected. Loved all the different categories of wax figures. Went with my 8 year old son and boyfriend and we all loved it.

We went only because its closing and it's pretty much been there since I was a kid. So I had to take my kids. Tho the figures do kinda stink it's still fun. It'll be sad the day they're closing. It's a part of San Francisco.

It was a really cool experience! I loved that they had a giant room full of horror movie icons! It was really awesome to see wax replicas of a lot of my favorite actors, celebrities, & characters! A well spent day, all in all. :)

I loved that there were so many exhibits in this museum. However, a few of them were a bit strange-looking (George Bush, Sr. for example). Also, a suggestion would be that if security cameras don't exist, then please place them near atleast exhibits that don't have any enclosures. There was one exhibit that was within reaching area of the public. Not only did the guy in front of me touch the finger of the wax statue but scratched the surface to see what the material felt like. I let out an exclamation of disgust but did not have the courage to tell him directly to behave himself.
