Imagine a place where Barack Obama, Beetlejuice, Fidel Castro, and Woody Allen could convene—other than your nightmares. Picture a building graced by the world’s best artists from across the centuries, from Leonardo da Vinci to Vincent van Gogh to Norman Rockwell. Such a worldly gathering of mankind’s finest figures is reality at the Wax Museum at Fisherman’s Wharf, a 100,000-square-foot showplace filled with intricate wax replicas of religious leaders, Hollywood starlets, and King Tut.
For nearly half a century, this wax emporium has housed impressively detailed and meticulously maintained waxy re-creations of the most famous public figures in the world. Bring a 20-megapixel digital camera and make a poster of yourself sitting with Jesus at the Last Supper or practicing your Matrix acrobatics alongside Keanu Reeves.
Being in the company of famous people is an agreeable experience, especially when they can’t talk back to you. This experience is even more thrilling with famous politicians. Lucky for you, this Fisherman’s Wharf museum has tons of politicos, from George Washington to Ulysses S. Grant to Yasser Arafat. If you’re thinking about making it a family outing, there are plenty of kid-friendly figures, though today’s Groupon is only good for adults age 18 and up. (Prices for children are $10 for ages 12–17, $7 for ages 6–11, and $0 for under age 6.)
In all, the Wax Museum at Fisherman’s Wharf houses more than 250 famous figures. It’s one of the only attractions featuring a plethora of beautiful celebs on their best behavior that isn’t an excruciatingly long awards ceremony.
