Buffalo–Niagara–Canada: Share the Fun With Our Allies
When the national fair/outdoors tour is near New York, the campaign should promote the whole Great Lakes border region: Buffalo, Niagara Falls State Park, the Canadian Falls, Clifton Hill, wax museums, family attractions, waterfronts and local businesses on both sides.
Cross-border travel reminder: this is tourism promotion, not immigration advice. Visitors must check current U.S. and Canadian entry-document rules before crossing. A valid U.S. passport is the most reliable document for American citizens visiting Canada.

Canada wax museum directory · verified current + historical closures
Wax museums across Canada
Accuracy rule: the list below distinguishes places I could verify as operating in 2026 from famous Canadian wax museums that closed. The campaign should invite corrections rather than pretending old tourism pages are current.
Louis Tussaud's Waxworks
More than 100 celebrity/pop-culture figures across themed galleries in the Clifton Hill/Victoria Avenue tourism district.
Movieland Wax Museum of the Stars
Clifton Hill wax museum centered on movie, TV and music figures, with lots of photo opportunities.
Wax World of the Stars
Mariner's Cove/Cavendish wax attraction with celebrity figures, Canadian-history displays and movie memorabilia; the tourism listing shows a May–October 2026 season.
PEI tourism listingDracula's Haunted Castle / Castle Dracula
Old-school haunted-house / wax-and-prop attraction in the Clifton Hill area. Treat it as a horror/wax hybrid rather than a conventional celebrity wax museum.
Musée Grévin Montréal
Historically important Canadian wax museum, but it permanently closed in September 2021. Do not send visitors there as a current attraction.
Royal London Wax Museum
Long-running Victoria waterfront wax museum that closed in 2010. Keep it only in the historical section.
Bonus on the New York side
Niagara Wax Museum of History — Niagara Falls, NY
A classic old-school wax-history attraction on the American side near the State Park. Add it as a cross-border wax-museum bonus, not as a Canadian museum.
