Have you ever dreamed of meeting a president (either alive or deceased) and taking a picture with him for posterity's sake? While this may seem impossible, it - well, okay, it is kind of impossible, but we have the next best thing, which is this South Dakota wax museum that is full of oddities, artifacts, and more:

Welcome to the National Presidential Wax Museum!

Located in Keystone (near Mount Rushmore), the National Presidential Wax Museum is a one-of-a-kind exhibition that features 100+ life-like figures, including all 46 presidents shown during historic parts of their presidency.

Where else but the National Presidential Wax Museum can you walk around Ground Zero or witness the signing of the United Nations Charter?

In addition to the wax figures, guests of the Wax Museum can see the actual voting booths from the controversial 2000 presidential election, original oil paintings from Harvey Dunn, and other intriguing artifacts.

During your visit, be sure to also check out the gift shop for one-of-a-kind apparel, decor, souvenirs, gifts, and much more!

...because who DOESN'T need a t-shirt with Abe Lincoln dressed as Batman?

Tours of the National Presidential Wax Museum start at $11 for adults, $9 for seniors ages 65+, and $8 for children ages 6 to 12.
