CAPE CANAVERAL, FL:
Step into a world of wonders with The Wizard of Oz Museum and explore over 2000 items of memorabilia.
Uncover the fascinating history behind the classic movie and explore the original props used in the 1939 film.
For over a hundred years, America’s best-loved fairy tale, THE WIZARD OF OZ has been delighting audiences (both young and young at heart) around the world.
Fred Trust has collected Oz memorabilia for the past 35 years. I have a graduate degree in Computer Science and worked in the computer industry past 40 years.
In 2018, he decided to open the Wizard of Oz museum around Orlando.
Since the Wizard of Oz is a narrow subject, to be successful, the Cape Canaveral area was chosen due to its proximity to Orlando, cruise terminals, the beach, and Kennedy Space Center.
The museum officially opened in February 2022 and had great success based on the visitor’s reviews. Displaying over 2000 items on display with original movie props and an Immersive Experience at the museum led to great success.
After one year of operation, the museum has over 1000 reviews on Google (4.9 stars) and two hundred 5-star reviews on TripAdvisor.
