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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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!

$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.

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

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.

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

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

It’s kind of a kitschy tourist trap but the show they put on is worth the price of admission.
Mercedes McCay-ReadAugust 28, 2018
Lots of oddities. Didn’t do the guided tour do not sure what was missed but some interesting things to look at.

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 WestSeptember 21, 2011
If your with someone a little nervous about the.museum of the weird, ask them for the green hand surprise!!!
Allie ShupeJune 10, 2012
Very fun place for the whole family at a very good price
Chris CannonMay 7, 2019
Unclear on scope of museum, small, nothing of significance. Can see almost all pictures online.
CMJMarch 7, 2012
If you didn't get your daily fill of bizarre just walking down the rest of this street, swing by.
bridget ernestMay 8, 2012
Get the $8 ticket, the show is worth it. ;)
Mottel LightstoneMarch 17, 2010
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 VencesJuly 13, 2013
Make sure to check out Minnesota ice Man!
Sue EnglandAugust 16, 2010
I bought a Museum shirt and got 2 free admissions, and got a bonus side show act with Eric Odditorium!
Brandi SchreiberJune 29, 2012
Bring your camera for some great photo opps!

The weird makes me come over someday again and again over and over.
Ella HowdAugust 17
So much to look at
Melissa PereaApril 4, 2014
A most do! So fun!
Brett ElliottDecember 2, 2019
Definitely weird but probably not worth the $12 admission.
Paul TroweDecember 21, 2011
Take an acting class with world famous acting coach Alan Ray.
Zach AndersonMarch 20, 2013
Korin is doing the side show
Mottel LightstoneMarch 17, 2010
Come during the summer and see the lizards out back!

This chick is supposed to be haunted.
Scott NicelyApril 15, 2012
Bigfoot exists!

Take the four dollar tour and get a reading by Pendark

Not worth money nor time.
