Wax is the preferred medium among most sculptors, as it's lighter than marble and less likely than bronze to run away with the first pair of baby shoes that comes along. Admire the dependability of wax with today's Groupon to Laclede's Landing Wax Museum. Choose between the following options:

• For $10, you get two adult tickets (up to a $20 value).
• For $15, you get a family pack of two adult tickets and two children's tickets (up to a $34 value).

Children 3 and younger are admitted for free, and all patrons are admitted for free on their birthday.

Laclede's Landing Wax Museum has been scaring and astonishing sightseers since 1983. Behind its 1885 cast-iron façade, the museum harbors more than 200 life-size figures across five levels and 10,000 square feet of museum space. The display of doppelgangers includes presidents, superheroes, historic figures, and movie stars, allowing visitors to gaze upon scores of famous faces without taking the rigorous paparazzi entrance exam. In the Chamber of Horrors, fictional villains old and new, including Freddy Krueger and the Phantom of the Opera, test the mettle of onlookers. Patrons can stop by the museum's gift shop before leaving or replenish the energy spent arguing with the statues with the help of ice cream, hot dogs, and other snacks (not included in today's Groupon) at the ice-cream parlor.
