It was a short tour but overall fun! It was a little spooky but not as bad as a haunted house. We brought flyers for a free souvenir and they gave us 2 postcard looking flyers in return. I’d say it’s good to visit at least once just for the experience. I lost the backing of one of my earrings near King Kong and it was nearly impossible to find:(

My daughter and I stopped by to check this place out and it was pretty neat! It was quirky and its vibe was classic horror meets carnival side show meets Ripley's Believe It or Not. We really enjoyed taking this self-guided tour...there was something new and freaky around every corner. Stay weird!

Museum of the Weird ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️ Fun but a bit cliché — go in with the mindset to just enjoy yourself and have some laughs. The folks at the front counter are friendly and welcoming, which adds to the charm. A quirky little stop if you’re exploring downtown Austin!

This museum is a must for fans of the strange and unusual! It has all sorts of displays and exhibits to enjoy from all of my favorite genres (horror, Sci Fi, urban legends, etc.). I recommend going on a weekday if you can before the crowds show up.

I had a fun and quirky visit to the Museum of the Weird in Austin! It’s packed with oddities, curiosities, and unusual exhibits that definitely live up to the “weird” name. From shrunken heads to strange creatures, every corner had something unexpected. It’s a small museum, but you could easily spend couple hours and is a unique stop if you’re exploring downtown Austin and want something truly different!

definitely lived up to its name, was genuinely spooked a couple of times! The experience was fun and different, and I’d totally go again with family. It’s a cool way to break the routine… and who knows, maybe they’ll get more scared than I did!

The staff here are very helpful and informative if you have any questions about the exhibits. I’ve personally never been to a museum like this and it reminded me so much of what I imagine “Freak show” would be like in American horror story. If you enjoy disturbing, creepy, slightly scary facts or even learning some historical facts then this is the right place for you. The space inside is pretty small so just be mindful of that. We are a group of five and spent about an hour and a half and were able to see everything. I had no idea there was so much history behind things like the first photograph of a fairy, or shrunken heads! Definitely come to check it out.

A fun quirky spot to see a variety of weird, freaky, and macabre artifacts. The museum has a number of wax replicas of the famous movie monsters and a gift shop to get a weird gift for a friend (or a momento for yourself). The quality of the items is kinda low, but that's what one would expect from such a museum

A very interesting place. Really cool but small space, especially when there's a lot of visitors. You wait your turn to examine or read captions on display. But I suggest you visit if you're in Austin and be a little WEIRD.
Total Score:2515

I wish I could give a sixth star. Here’s one more: ⭐️ The people were very nice at the front desk, and were quick to help us. The museum itself was longer than I expected and very interesting. There were lots of things to look at and explore and it was very reasonably priced. There were three stories, but the whole thing is one long hallway so at the end you gotta scoot back through. They had plenty of things on display from foreign curios to pop culture horror movie wax figures.
