Ellen S. P.

Great way to spend an hour. Kitschy and fun taxidermied conjoined animals, horror wax museum , live shows (mine was magic), and a great gift shop are a fun time.

Yani Iman

Pretty much lived up to it's name. Staff were super nice, too. Cool how they had different sections. Since we came early, we had VIP service from one of the last living oddities at the Side Show .

Mark B

Very campy but cool small exhibit . Have an open mind and you'll enjoy...especially seeing the "Iceman". The last part of the tour is the best but I won't give away the surprise.

Take your time going through the exhibits and be sure to ask the staff about the skeleton in the back. Great spots for fun pictures and don’t forget to get a ticket to see the Minnesota Iceman !

Anthony (Sirus) Madrid

Its a small little shop, but its definitely worth the admission price. The staff enjoys working there and it shows. Definitely ask them about the exhibits . Also, the shop supports lizard rescue

Dell

The oddball collection includes a Fiji mermaid , the Minnesota Iceman , and shrunken heads. Take the $4 tour and learn your future from the resident fortune teller .

David Sequeira

MUST go here. But first, grab a "pickle shot" next door from the jackalope. Definitely worth the small ticket price. Assortment of odd items and CRAZY sideshow at the end! Remember to tip!

Jeffrey James

$12 entry to the museum with a tour . The exhibits are interesting, and the tour guide was nice, but kept saying she would be more into it if she wasn't feeling ill. If there's a show there, go then.

Ali Madad

Occasional performances on second floor, but worth a look for the awesome oddities on the first floor.

HISTORY

Is a collection of the weird and disturbing and includes such traditional freak show fair as a Fiji mermaid and a frog with teeth, shrunken heads, a preserved two headed cow, and a fortune teller .

Connie K

Friendly staff and a fun way to support a local place that delivers to keep Austin Weird!

Amanda Thau

Reminded me of a smaller Ripley's Believe It or Not! Don't miss the show upstairs... It's electric!

Shannon Jeropke

It’s kind of a kitschy tourist trap but the show they put on is worth the price of admission.

Mercedes McCay-Read

Lots of oddities . Didn’t do the guided tour do not sure what was missed but some interesting things to look at.

Ali Fadil

Only interesting part is the small section after the entrance. Rest is a waist of time. Groups are too big, you spend half of the visit waiting for others to take selfies.

Hunter West

If your with someone a little nervous about the.museum of the weird, ask them for the green hand surprise!!!

Allie Shupe

Very fun place for the whole family at a very good price

Chris Cannon

Unclear on scope of museum , small, nothing of significance. Can see almost all pictures online.

CMJ

If you didn't get your daily fill of bizarre just walking down the rest of this street, swing by.

bridget ernest

Get the $8 ticket, the show is worth it. ;)

Mottel Lightstone

Ask the owner or one of the staff to tell you some of the back story of the stuff there - it more then doubles the value of the $4 ticket!

Emanuel Vences

Make sure to check out Minnesota ice Man!

Sue England

I bought a Museum shirt and got 2 free admissions , and got a bonus side show act with Eric Odditorium!

Brandi Schreiber

Bring your camera for some great photo opps!

Love Dragon

The weird makes me come over someday again and again over and over.

Ella Howd

So much to look at

Melissa Perea

A most do! So fun!

Brett Elliott

Definitely weird but probably not worth the $12 admission.

Paul Trowe

Take an acting class with world famous acting coach Alan Ray.

Zach Anderson

Korin is doing the side show

Mottel Lightstone

Come during the summer and see the lizards out back!

Chrissie Muggeridge

This chick is supposed to be haunted.

Scott Nicely

Bigfoot exists!

Curtis Lowrey

Take the four dollar tour and get a reading by Pendark

Ana Montes

Not worth money nor time.

We got a VooDoo dozen, which is their choice. The donuts are HUGE! My fave was the chocolate glazed custard filled, least fave was the grape soda. The big pink boxes are very enticing packaging! - JenKudu

Cactus Juice's are the bomb. It's worth the extra 50 cents for the strawberry flavor, but any are great! Margaritas with Everclear! Who could ask for anything more. - Jenny Jem George
