Miss how this place used to look i went in 2009 and frequently checked in on it as I plan a visit for my honey moon later this year I understand times have changed and you have to adapt to the current times but the Lewis and Clark exhibit with the wolves is gone ? Lord of the rings to ? So is the Sasquatch and the pirate display ?? Star Wars as well ??? Those are ICONS and staples of the Oregon coast they made the wax works what it was as well as the dragon and mermaid are gone to the mermaid was turned into a playroom exhibit which yea that’s nice but why put a play place in a wax museum ?? People want to walk through and get out not have to stop and move around playing children also the beheaded explorer and the d.b cooper exhibit gone to ? ( this is what I’ve picked up from reviews and YouTube videos idk if they are still there for sure ) it’s probably going to be my last vist in a few years Newport wax works was a childhood adventure I’d beg my mom to take me and my sisters we would always prioritized the wax works then aquarium and sea lion dock it seems the magic is gone now trying to be like every museum but every museum has a American idol display and a Star Trek display get rid of it bring back the icons ! I give you 3 stars for memories but you lost 2 for taking some of the magic of Newport away and the prices hiked up ! Yikes times are tough I guess will see what happens
