Niagara Wax Museum of History — Attraction in City of Niagara Falls

The other person in my party was apprehensive about visiting this place, and I don't blame them as "wax museum" has a negative connotation for many people, as these types of museums have become synonymous with tourist traps. However, this isn't a stereotypical wax museum. There are wax figures yes, but this museum is more focused on education rather than entertainment. You won't see celebrities here (at least not Hollywood celebrities), but rather key people from Niagara Falls history.

And the museum not only has wax figures of these people, but also information as to who they are and why they're important to regional history.

(She was getting kids candy in the store part) Most decent people would just have replied "You can buy tickets right here.. I can help you in just one second". We walked out. Her behavior & attitude were both extremely unprofessional. AVOID at all costs. Don't give your money to a place that is rude...

We visited this last summer when we were on vacation. I remembered going as a kid and it was rather disappointing this time around. There was shelving blocking multiple exhibits so you couldn't even see them. You would have to stand on the shelving if you even wanted to see the exhibit; which we didn't do because it was dangerous. It was definitely a safety hazard. Some of the exhibits were closed. It was so hot toward the end that the figures were literally melting. Abraham Lincoln was dripping from his face and fingertips and you could see where he previously face planted into the glass and they shoved a wedge under his foot to keep him in place. It definitely needs...
