I go inside the museum every year when our family visits Lake George. The building is very old, however the wax figures are fun to look at, and there are neat exhibits. I would recommend it if you enjoy horror movies through the 60s and 70s. Please take notice that this might be too frightening for children under 10.

Be prepared when you walk in here - It is very dark - so dark that you can barely see where you are going! All displays are behind glass and nothing jumps out at you, there are a couple rooms you walk through that give you a little jump. Seems a little old. Definitely NOT for kids.

This was ok, my son who was 14 at the time LOVED it, I however found some of the scenes a bit gorey. It is a little spooky which is why my son liked it and if it hadn't been for the gore I would have liked it more. All and all I don't regret going through it because he... More
