DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! Please do not buy tickets to this scam. You can easily put up some decorations and a strobe light in your basement and it will literally be the same thing

It was pretty cool. Definitely need to go explore Salem mass. Salem wax museum was great and interesting

Pretty cool and creepy! Not bad for $12 visit the tent in salem witch village and get the combination ticket. It cover 3 of four activities, wax museum, 2 diff. Haunted houses (they suck), and/or a nighttime walking tour which is really cool!l for like $26

We absolutely loved this place and after reading all the information I learned so much more about the witch trials and history of Salem. It’s reasonably priced and makes for a fun afternoon activity!

Beautiful experience to meet celebrities, there are many statues but there are more presidents some athletes and artists, a nice experience to take pictures with celebrities, the museum is small but it is good to visit, I was happy taking photos,,,, if you are thinking of visiting it visit it as soon as possible

The history on the historical figures is interesting, but the $12 per adult is worth it based on more of a laugh factor. Those wax figures have definitely seen better days. Eyeballs are all sorts of wonky.

5 minute walk through.. Needs major updating esp if charging $12... Save your money

Self guided because of covid but still informative

I have been to 2 other wax museums (New York and Vegas) so I though it would be comparable. I had not done much research before hand. It is definitely different. The wax figures are less life-like. You can go through the whole museum in maybe half hour if you actually read the story under each figure. I dont think it was that worth the money but it added to our experience being in Salem with learning about the people involved in the Witch Trials.

Salem shuts down and they refuse to refund our money, pans then post that they do not give refunds on their website AFTER we purchased our tickets.Buyer beware.

Al was super helpful and hospitable! He also helped me with the lay of the land. Thanks, Al!!

Great place to visit

Its Ok. I think it needs to be revamped a bit. But the stories told in there are neat

Way overpriced for a place that needs a serious remodel. Are the figures even Wax?

15 exhibits. Took 12 minutes to walk the whole thing. Not worth the money. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, though.

Not worth the money. It’s one floor with very little things to see. Save your money and do go to the witch museum instead. They have similar figures.

Really cool life-sized was figures! They were a little creepy, but they were depicting a very interesting part of history! 4/5 - Would go again!

Small but fun! Worth the price

This was a disappointment it is over priced for what you get to do. The museum is very small we literally finished it in maybe 20 mins only because we read each sign it would have been less if we didn’t. Basically it’s one room one small room we were shocked that it was done. Now it was very informative we did learn some history but for the money it wasn’t worth it

If you want a voodoo doll purchase one here. Id visited most of the witch stores in Salem and none had a real voodoo doll except for this store.The staff of girls who work there are crazy. They talk out loud about their boyfriend problems and they talk badly about their coworkers. Ive never seen so much envy between employees.Its a great little store except for the background noise of the employees bad mouthing each other.They need to play a bit of pagan/folk/witch music in the store. It will create the Salem black magic ambience most people expect in Salem. This store has so much potential because of its location to the cemetery out back. If you walk outside towards the back of the store youll come upon the cemetery that dates back to the 1600s and there youll find buried one of the original Mayflower passengers.Who is the owner? You might consider playing spooky background music in the store. Its what we tourists sort of expect in Salem. If you give the tourists what they want they are sure to buy more items from your store. You might also consider speaking to your employees about not gossiping when customers enter the store. The girls up front huddle at the register yapping about their personal business instead of welcoming the customers to the store.

Fun stone rubbing at the end! Great wax figures depicting the history of Salem

It was neat. You learn alot if you read every thing. The museum was pretty small and the scenes arent very well kept, but it is very intriguing and a great learning experience.

Not up to the standards of Mme. Tussauds, but some interesting exhibits.

I found this place terrible, disappointing, and a rip off.I let my kids choose an activity to help them get more involved in the trip. On the way out I heard, “Sorry Dad, that was terrible. Should have checked the ratings online.”My kids thought it was cheesy, poorly done, and in great need of maintenance and upkeep.

Cool little set up that tells a history if you follow the path and read along. Not very detailed, but a good overview for the casual tourist.

Really excellent exhibit. Very factual. The figures were so life like

Learned a lot, but it’s very small. the staff was so nice but said there was an interactive part of the museum.. guess i just expected it to be a little more interactive than just a jail cell to sit in.

The depictions of the Salem Witch Trials and Piracy tales was fascinating. The tour we took through the sister gift shop was also fascinating. The stories were more believable than those given at the Salem Witch Museum mostly because the tour guides didnt have much conference in the way they told their depiction of how witches are seen today.

Pictures and video allowed. Site of the witch trial memorial statue. Would have loved the bundle ticket, but was in town just over 48 hours. Two penny presses on site if youre a collector like me, and the staff will happily give you change

Hey, why not go. I lived in Salem for many years and would pass this place, never went until I started filming and acquired passes for most of the locations. This place didnt allow me to film, so I just walked around and listened and read and listened and it wasnt that bad. I even got Tarot cards at the gift shop. Not a bad way to send an hour or so. My daughter liked it so, no complaints.

It was fun to see the history of the witch trials in wax figures. Had a great time visiting the museum. It is not very big so dont expect a huge museum. It is a fun stop while visiting all the other stuff Salem has to offer. You dont want to use to much time on one stop anyway.

It was nice to have fun amazing I really enjoyed myself

The museum is a little outdated. Is an interesting walkthrough if youre not familiar with the history. Our party was familiar, so we found this slightly boring. The only entertainment value I received from this experience is that the wax figures were very creepy.

Please do not bother going to the haunted house. Money scam. Ten dollars for the people to not realize we were walking through. Only TWO people jumped out at us and they were absolutely expected from the black curtains next to the cheap black plywood. We complained to the ticket office and they said we could go back through AGAIN if we wanted LOL. Such a cheap haunted house and cheap management.

A lot of fun and very nicely done.

Cool attraction to goto while visiting Salem with the family.

Enjoyed our visit, very small yet informative! My children enjoyed and liked the coloring area in the gift shop. Price isn’t bad although it would be nice if the basement attraction was included in the fee due to the small size. Would recommend regardless

Kind of lame. Saw maybe 12 displays, which than led to stairs going down to the first floor. I was miffed to walk into tbe gift shop when i got down there.Definitely not worth $10

Not worth $2 each let alone $10 each. Wax museum and haunted house are very small and not many props at all. Everything could fit in the area the size of half a regulation basketball court.

One of the best things I did while here

Scary and fun in October! With a line to go in but is good in general!

It was okay. Props were cool a little cheesey, and small, but good info. I wouldnt go again or recommend.

The Salem Wax Museum, which looks like it has a lot of potential from the outside amongst many other exciting places along historic Derby Street in Downtown Salem, has definitely seen better days. This might be an okay place to take little kids where it might seem like a big exciting attraction to them but for anyone else its really just a rundown, small, overpriced disappointment. Also its honestly rather boring and there is absolutely no excitement or surprises during the entire mundane experience.As far as it being overpriced, you are better off to get the package deal where are you can see three attractions for a discounted total price. However, The Salem Wax Museum should honestly be your last priority on the list to see. The gift shop consists of mostly cheesy, overpriced, stereotypical, cheap looking things from the Witch City.When youre done make sure to check out the old burial ground behind the museum and behind Beer Works. This is absolutely worth seeing and you can walk around for free! Also there is a memorial to many of the witches who were hung right next to the cemetery. This is an amazing place for beautiful photo opportunities.Honestly if you want to have a much more unique and worthwhile experience you should head down towards the pier / waterfront and go exploring amongst the multitude of unique shops where you can find things from handmade jewelry to all kinds of eclectic items that youll never find anywhere else. Its in this area that youll find the real souvenirs and gifts everyone will appreciate and which are not cheap mass-produced garbage.One of the most popular places in this area is Laurie Cabots shop where you can get very unique items and even a reading from herself personally, for a look into your future...

It was short. But some of the displays are a good read if you have the patience.

Quaint {aka as tiny) museum that if you rush through will take you only a few minutes. Still a cool little place though. Save your ticket because you can also use it next door at the...{forgot the name) and they have a guided tour which is also short but when used will justify the price of the ticket overall.

Not for younger children.

WASTE OF MONEY!! don’t bother with this place, nothing but reading some info and looking at wax people. Not a Museum at all and really run down! You’ll learn more about Salem just walking around the place!!

Small museum. Can be seen all in a matter of 15 mins. Was simple and easy to get in and out of.

Very informative of the history and fun to go to during the October time. Had a great time here. Keep in mind you will be buying tickets for a show later about a hr ahead of time due to how busy they are

Not all that great, takes about 15 minutes to walk through the whole thing and read the short stories on the wall. Nothing worthwhile and nothing worth the 10$ to get in.

Small exhibit. Wasnt awful, but would go back anytime soon. On the cheaper side so not a huge disappointment.

It was pretty cool. I thought that some of the figures looked more like dressed up mannequins than wax figures but thats just my opinion not an accusation. The final display will really pull at your heart and make you realize the horrible frenzy and hypocrisy that was the Salem witch trials. I enjoyed the historical lessons that was listed on the signs and they have a pretty good gift shop. Its $10 (per person) to walk through or $15 with a guide. They let you take as many pics as you want. Definitely worth taking a gander if youre in the area.

Wax statues are very lifelike. Only a handful of statues to view. Not overwhelmingly exciting in any way. 9 bucks to get in. Killed a few minutes but I def would not recommend.

It was very interesting small museum but loved it all the same

A huge waste of money. We were very excited to go there. We each payed 10$ which is not that big of a deal but its definitely not worth 10$. It shouldnt even be called a museum as its one room. We went through it in 10 mins, with us reading everything. Wouldnt recommend it to anyone as you can read all of it online and use your 10$ for something worth it.

Waste of money. Wax figures of poor quality with hand and heads thrown unto mannequin bodies. Don’t waste your time.

Fun little tour and discount on a second tour history of witches!

I did expect a little more and maybe for it to be bigger but learning the history was a good experience over all.

History behind myths and trials. Little short, wish all tourist spots would coordinate stories about historic events

Very informative about the history of Salem.

Very interesting town... especially at this time of year !!

Wax museum, fun to visit during Halloween.

Good way to get a little overall history at your own pace

Very informative while showing some of the darker side of our history, but something we all should learn from.

Very short walk thru, but well done and educational; a grim presentation of a shameful past in American history portrayed in wax statues. We enjoyed it quite a bit. Be sure to pay attention for the official decree at the end of the display. Look left at the bottom of the stairs.

Good depiction of the era, but I did not see anything great.

Very interesting tourist spot nice employees

We enjoyed learning about the history of Salem. Pretty decent setup. Nothing spectacular, but it is well put together. Get the package deal where you can do 3 attractions for $20.

Nice a little small but nice

Great Staff and a pleasure to work withMatt From Net Atlantic

Honest portrayal of the Salem witch trials.

I had a great time coming go once a year to Salem always end up coming again to this place .

Still nice to see but not a must see. Woman working the registar was rude and impatient although there was no line and store was dead

Very enjoyable with some knowledge that isnt necessarily known outside of MA.

Love Salem great place to spend a day! Cant wait for Halloween!

Small, overpriced, interesting bits of historical info, but probably not what you want to see in a wax museum.

I loved it so much to see & cool!

Beautiful museum where wax statues representing important characters of the trials of 1692 are shown, as of different historical situations regarding the witches.

Nice place but too small

Great walk through the history of Salem.

Short time but Great Learning and Experience!! If you go to Salem you have to go!

Dont waste your money.

This Place Is Amazing. I enjoyed every display, every plaque, every single step in that building, and the gift shop had a lot of stuff that I wanted to buy.

The wax museum was great. Among the sameneighborhood is a series of attractions run together. The information was great and well spoken while keeping engagement. Great experience!

Great fun..great place to visit.

Story telling 15 mins long

It is a lot smaller than I thought it would be. Good historical information if you read the plaques. Small gift shop at the end.

Awful. Complete waste of time.They should be ashamed that they charge to get in.

Very interesting, it features many of the people involved in the Salem witch trials, and tells their stories. The museum is a bit smaller than I expected it to be, though.

Pretty informative. Make sure you get the combo tickets for the attractions. That would make the place more worth your money.

Very interesting and learned alot about the Hysteria and the Salem witch trials.

History was good, but figures are clearly super old and so is the building. It just all seemed a bit boring. Needs to be livened up.

Id say one would only enjoy themselves if they already have a fondness for wax figures. I was thoroughly impressed and pleased. I thought it was worth the small fee.

Love going here every few years

Very interesting. Definitely need to go during the off season. The figures could do with some updating but the staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable.

I dont think I would spend the money to go here again. It was pretty informative but very, very small and awfully short. I had hoped for something a little more interesting. Only took us 8-10 minutes to get through the whole thing. The haunted house and gift shop downstairs were pretty nice, though.

Fun place to visit

The history behind Salem and why it became such an historical town was Amazing. To learn how thing happened was truly inspiring. Cant wait until Halloween 2017.

If you like to read history instead of listening to it. Decent museum took us about 10 minutes to get through it. The wax figures are kind of outdated but the info is there on the plaques. Got to do some carcoal rubbings at the end which was cool but not worth a $9 admission....maybe a $5.

A lot smaller than expected, missing pieces on wax figures
