This is a really neat museum! There is a factory downstairs that tells all about how the figures are made that is really interesting. Upstairs enjoy a self guided tour through the past beginning with Adam and Eve. Most exhibits have a narrated story to go along with them and the Last Supper is a theater type setting with some really cool little effects. This museum is slightly dated but I feel it adds to it's charm. Currently prices are reduced since the museum is being shut down in September for good and all of the exhibits are being moved to Ohio. Go see a part of Virginia's history before it is gone.
It takes you through Virginia history from frontier days, Revolutionary War, Civil War etc...... worth a stroll through the wax museum if you are visiting Natural Bridge.
took us about 10 mins to tour the whole place. because i was scared. great stuff . you push a button when you come to a scene and it gives you a lil history of the natural bridge. worth the 8 bucks, go see it.
We hesitated on whether to go to this museum but glad we did. It was worth the $8.00. Very interesting and well done.
My family and I visited the Wax Museum while vacationing for Spring Break. It was absolutely amazing to see the "History on Wax". Everything was so life like and even told the story. The Adam and Eve scene as well as the Last Supper were absolutely beautiful and breath taking. If you appreciate history and fine arts, you will definitely appreciate the Natural Bridge Wax Museum.
Read about it here: http://www.wset.com/story/25891275/natural-bridge-wax-museum-closing-at-end-of-summerIt wasn't that great anyway and I found the wax figures to be poorly done. Most of them were just plain scary looking.
This was the neatest wax museum that I have visited and I got to see a lot of famous people. This museum shows you how they make the wax molds.
Have gone to Natural Bridge probably at 5 times over the last 45 years and have to see the wax museum every time. There is something that makes me feel like a kid again, when I was a little creeped out but thought the historical aspect was fascinating. Not for big city folk, but for a small town boy who remembers this as somewhat cutting edge "living history" in 1968, still kinda cool.
This attraction is so informative. It share a great deal of information about history itself, but also a lot of history of Virginia. The wax "people" are very well detailed and the scenes in which they are depicted are set-up very nice as well. The staff are friendly and the cost is quite cheap. I advise you to take your time and just stroll through the exhibit. It is not extremely time consuming but I think you will find that there is so much to learn and you will enjoy the exhibit much more if you just take the time to look at each scene and read the information that accompanies it. There are several areas that have audio recorded messages/info about the exhibit and these provide a good deal of information also. NOTE: Due to financial issues at NB, this exhibit is set to close its doors forever in September so if you are thinking of visiting you had better not delay. :-(
I loved this place! I was sad to hear that it is going to be closing next month.A ton of history and so much history. They have voice that you can turn on to learn more. The ppl who work there are very knowledgeable.
