This was weird and awesome! We had a great time looking and reading all the exhibits. It is small but jam packed. Worth the time to stop. The people were very nice and informative. Takes about an hour hour and half if you look and read everything.

Great wacky place to spend an hour or two poking about and getting some fun pictures. They have an awesome puppet rig from Gremlins, a medical curiosities section, some wild and hairy creatures from beyond and other things to terrifying to even MENTION. (The wax figures aren't for touching with the exception of King Kong's hand that you can squeeze into for a picture.)

We stumbled across this cute little place on 6th street. I had no idea that it existed, but I'm glad we went in for a tour. It's a 30ish minute, self guided tour. I really enjoyed the old school wax figures. I saw and read some interesting stuff in here. If you have time to kill, I would recommend checking it out, especially if you're in to old school horror. Good prices and I loved the gift shops!

This was a unique and interesting experience. My family and I really enjoyed this 3 story exhibit, it doesn't look big from the outside but when u get into the exhibit it is much larger it took us about 40 minutes to get through. Lots of really neat things to see and read about including a small wax museum with king kong (A fun interactive photo op). This was a good thing to do on a rainy day to kill some time and very affordable.

My son and I were in Austin for F1 and had some hours to spare before our shuttle to the venue. I found this on Google and decided to try it; it was the best decision. While it seemed geared toward kids, I thoroughly enjoyed the artifacts and displays. I recommend that once you are here, you immerse yourselves in the displays and spend time reading the stories around each. They are fascinating.

Kind of small and not worth. Some things were interesting but I wouldn't bring other people here or return. Definitely not wheelchair or stroller friendly. Narrow hallways and stair steps

We visited on a weekday so there was no wait and the place was not overcrowded. They have nice souvenirs and postcards (if that’s your thing!). The staff was very friendly and explained what to expect for the self-guided tour. :) The different exhibits were great, interested, and weird (in the best way!). However, I wished they used other forms of media. When we visited, more info were on posters and in section that were not well-lit, it was quite difficult to read.

Easily one of the best small museums I've visited in my travels. And that's all chalked up to the friendliness of the staff, the unique setup of the exhibits and the character of the building itself. Each of the exhibits invites you to take your time reading the hand written notes and admiring the details. I thoroughly enjoyed the placement of the wax figures and the spookiness of walking through that section. Would definitely recommend going when it isn't super busy so you can take your time.

Hey, we went to this weird museum in Austin, Texas called the Museum of the Weird. It was totally worth it! You won't believe the stuff they have there. It's like a three-story building packed with all sorts of crazy exhibits. The staff was super friendly and the prices were reasonable. If you're ever in Austin, you should definitely check it out!

It's a bit of a tight fit inside. It was pretty cool though. If you're a person that likes to read all display plaques and signage, give yourself at least 1.5 - 2 hours to get through everything.
