Museum of the Weird

Loved this! Super fun, interesting, and great photo op. We went during the week when it wasn’t so busy, so we had a great time and got awesome photos. It’s a little small though so it might be cramped on busy days like weekends. Overall super amazing experience and would 100% recommend as a go see if you’re visiting or in the area.

Love this place!! Mark that’s always working when I go is super cool too. Really like the gift shop as well...I always end of buying something in there every time I go.

I really enjoyed my experience at this museum! Very goofy, fun, and kind creepy. Definitely recommend if you have some extra time around town.

It is in a rough area of the city in the daytime. There were a few 2 hour parking spots in front of the museum. We didn't know that until we spoke to the doorman. We parked around the corner and it wasn't great walking to the museum. All of that is not their fault. The doorman was very friendly. We first walked into a gift shop. Then there was an issue where they had to reboot their computer system. They let us go through the tour. They can not accept cash at this time. Also, no one without a mask gets in the door. There were oddities first on the tour. Mummy stuff. A description of the haunted hotel in Austin, TX. There is a Gremlin and it has the wires to show how it was controlled. Then we went outside where we walked into an ice creature exhibit. That was something very interesting. Then upstairs to taxidermy exhibits and a video on one of PT Barnum's performers. Very interesting. We then walked up the stairs to the wax museum. I opened the door to find Nosferatu staring down at me. I shut the door. I cracked it open and looked again. It took me a moment to walk through. I had to make sure he wasn't going to move. I could not believe he wasn't real. The swamp thing was great. The Boris Karloff Mummy was so detailed. It looked like it came out of the movie. I am a Bela Lugosi fan. I didn't think the wax figure really captured his face. I wasn't blown away like with the Nosferatu figure. Frankenstein's Monster was realistic and looked like Boris Karloff's version. I got another look at Nosferatu before I left. The hands and the nails were so realistic. The placement of him when the person opens the door looking down is perfection. My heart raced and I closed the door. On the way out there is an Alien figure that was very realistic as well. They had the computer system rebooted and I was am to pay on the way out.

The guy who was working when I went in was so kind and friendly. I highly recommend picking out a gift or souvenir from here. Very fun place even if you just wanted to look around.
