This was my second visit and I absolutely LOVE this place. It's an unbelievably eclectic, private collection of one man. As someone who thoroughly enjoys scouring thrift stores for old, unusual pictures and tchotchkes, this place is like a dream come true. I do wish there was an off-tram, VIP tour of sorts because there is SO much to see and appreciate, I could easily spend an entire day getting lost in the details. It's such a fascinating place. I can't recommend it enough!

What a lovely experience. So much to see of one man's collection. Plus, much more. Narrative tram ride covered the whole area. All were very pleasant and helpful. Highly recommend

Awesome museum with so much to see. The tour was great, but there was so much to look at that I definitely want to return for another tour soon.

Love all the unique and rare finds, favorite part is the old style pianos you could put nickels in to self play. Very affordable and easy attraction to all since its walking sections are short and the majority of the tour is done in a tram car so you able to sit and enjoy all the cool items. From the outside it doesn't look like much but once your inside it's like you entered into a time warp and dropped you in a different erra.

Came with my parents. A little bit of a shock to see toys and other items I grew up with now considered antiques. Lots of dolls, dollhouses, model planes, pianos, stained glass windows, telephones, albums, cars, old signs Tram tour was good. Learned more things were started in PA than I realized. Some historically donated items too. Curious who the anonymous collector of all these items is. A fun stop and according to my parents they have spotless bathrooms

Absolutely drowning in kitsch! A whirlwind of popular American ephemera at tremendous scale. A shrine to uniquely American consumer iconography that must be seen to be believed.

I went with my father, and we had such a great time! I did not know what to expect at first, but I was absolutely floored. So so many cool and amazing things that I never would have seen if I had not gone.

A truly unique experience.

Definitely not your normal museum. And that’s a good thing. I’ve been putting places I want to visit on my maps for a long time and we where in the area and asked everyone if they wanted to go check it out. I’m glad we did. The people where super nice and it was something different to see. I just wonder who this mystery donation person is. Have fun

This is a pretty extensive menagerie. There are definitely treasures in the collection, but there are a lot of other pieces that aren't exactly treasures. I was wary about the idea of taking a tram through the museum, but the ride is very slow and allows you to take in most everything without too much detail. The narration is also quite good. There are two sections where you can walk through and look more specifically at items. It is also good that many of the music instruments still play. I would suggest planning on 1.5 hours. My one negative: I thought the price was a bit on the high side.

This place is incredible! Spent a few hours exploring yesterday and was completely fascinated by everything that's there, far more than can be seen in a single day. This museum is certainly one of a kind and is well worth the visit. With there being 100,000 square feet of space in this old warehouse, much of it is seen by a tram ride that explains some of the history behind the items that are throughout this enormous collection. In all, I took well over 200 pictures while I was there and could honestly spend weeks exploring and still not see everything this museum has to offer. You'll find everything from classic to creepy cool!

A few things to note if you go. First, dress accordingly. This museum is in a huge warehouse and is given to the ways of the weather. It was chilly outside yesterday and while it was warmer inside than out, there was a chill in the air inside as well.

Second, only about 25% (or less) of this museum is self guided with the rest of it being the tour on the tram which you are not allowed to get out of. Understandably, there's a lot of space to cover and for security purposes, it has to be this way but it would be awesome to be able to walk this museum in its entirety. There's just so much to see that one will never catch everything no matter how slow the tram ride is.

In all, it was worth the cost for the tour and to walk the self guided areas. I will be returning to take more pictures in the future!

It is amazing the amount of iniquities acquired by one person on display here. There are a few donated items but mostly one person's collection.

My husband and I visited with our kids and we all had a great time. Everything is very fun-spirited so it’s the perfect place to come for a break and a lot of smiles and laughs. “Huge collection” is an understatement—there is so much to see and it’s truly unique. Plenty of clean bathrooms, too, which is a real plus when you have little kids!

There's something in this massive collection for everyone to enjoy! I brought my parents and grandparents and they loved it. The building was also easily accessible and the staff was incredibly friendly. Definitely check it out!
