Super friendly and accommodating staff. Place is awesome, especially if you’re into vintage horror and/or sideshow oddities. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in town.

Fun museum. Worth a visit if you're nearby.

Lots of interesting objects and stories.

A bit of a local treasure, this place brings a touch of the middle-of-nowhere roadside sideshow into the deep dark concrete jungle of downtown. If you've ever been to a Ripley's, you've seen a glitzier version of this experience, but not a more authentic version. A series of true oddities is presented here, although it's a bit on the short side and in need of some light maintenance. What's not to be expected?

Very interesting place. But I found it more creepy than weird (corpses, taxidermied animals, etc). So be prepared for that

I *love* this place! A fascinating collection and fun ambience. I also (as a devoted fan of weird and spooky things) found it to be a great place to take first dates, because you can tell a *lot* about a person based on how they react to displays like these! [If someone's reaction to a human fetal skeleton with two conjoined heads is to laugh, walk away from that person and never look back. I'm glad I did! ]

It was ok for the price. There were some interesting displays, but the place needed a little TLC (cleaning and site maintenance).

Yep.it was weird. A fun time to kill an hour or so at all of the freak show attractions. Not totally convinced it was worth the price of admission, but it was still fun.

This place was okay. They do have a great gift shop. It was pretty warm inside the museum.

The double headed cow had live fleas on it. It ruined the whole museum for me. Tacky museum.

Don't give this place your money. It isn't safe the ceilings are falling down in the gift shop and on the second floor, there are bugs in the taxidermy, you barely can see their Iceman exhibit, and with as much water damage there is it'd be a mericle if there wasn't black mold. The owner and management are terrible people who treat their employees as if they were gum stuck to the bottom of their shoes all the while buying luxury cars and taking trips to Italy. They're so terrible their own niece couldn't work with them. Ripply's Believe it or Not is better and safer. Go there.

Very cool place if you're into off colored musuem exhibits. Lots to look at and read about.

It was great, not the Smithsonian so if that's what you're looking for then you're going to be disappointed.like walking through a season of Ripley's believe it or not. Really enjoyed it with my kid, who is into weird stuff.

This was such a fun place to visit! Soooo much to read and look at that it would take me hours to actually get through it all. Also the building itself is really cool - perfect for a museum of this nature.
