This Wax Museum Hiding In Oregon Is Wonderfully Bizarre

Tucked away in the seaside town of Newport, The Wax Works is a one of a kind Oregon attraction. This unique museum will delight you with its lifelike wax statues of monsters, Hollywood actors, Sci-Fi characters, and more. The experience is both odd and amazing. Check it out:

Located in Newport, The Wax Works is a wonderfully weird museum where you'll find all kinds of amazing wax figures.

Walking through the surreal, dimly-lit museum, you'll meet Hollywood stars, fantasy characters, monsters, mermaids, and more.

Some of your favorite characters will be there, from Golem and Yoda to Spock and the cast of M*A*S*H.

You can take a selfie with Johnny Depp, touch E.T.'s glowing finger, and even steal a glimpse of Bigfoot sneaking through the woods.

Each intricately crafted statue is built to scale and takes weeks or even months to create. It's the details that really bring them to life.

While you're there, you may also want to check out the Ripley's Believe It Or Not oddity museum, located next door. You can also stop by Undersea Gardens, a unique underwater room full of windows that let you peer into the depths of the bay.

The museums are open 7 days a week, and a ticket costs $14.99 for adults and $7.99 for youth, while admission is free for children 4 and under.
