Went during the week and it was not very crowded. It’s a self guided tour which is great for the introverts. Many cryptid/oddity exhibits to enjoy along with a wax museum for the classic horror fans

A fun place at an affordable price. Silly PT Barnum type stuff. Made me miss my mother in law who loved this type of kitsch.

This place is…weird and not that exciting. Honestly, I was kind of bored. Kind of reminds me of a kids school project in the way the information was presented. It’s not a large space, so you’ll be in and out pretty quick. Also, a bit crowded. But saw some funky things.

The Museum of the Weird is exactly what it promises—weird, wonderful, and totally worth it. It’s this great little spot just off Sixth Street (you might almost miss it if you’re not looking—kind of like it’s hiding in plain sight, which honestly just adds to the mystery). The place is packed with all kinds of oddball charm—classic sideshow stuff, vintage creepiness, and things that make you say, “Wait… what am I looking at?” It’s affordable, low-key, and super fun. Like, where else can you walk past a two-headed animal, a frozen caveman, and then get a live mini-show at the end? It’s got big “Austin stays weird” energy, and I loved every second. Cheap, weird, and unforgettable. Highly recommend checking it out if you’re in town and want something different. You won’t leave smarter, but you will leave smiling.

Super fun! We went right when it opened so it wasn't busy at all. Bunch of cool funky stuff and neat little gift shop. Had a great visit and enjoyed the spooky / haunted atmosphere. The wax museum was educational and well kept. All exhibits were AC or cooled by a fan. Sadly due to the building being an older building, it is not wheelchair accessible, to my knowlede(i didnt inquire further but didnt see obvious signs so maybe call ahead to verify) the wax museum is up stairs that was accessible via a ramp but I don't know if there was an elevator available. Lovely gift shop, a good hour or two worth of exhibits to peruse. Very glad I visited!

Great little museum, it’s not massive so don’t expect to walk forever but do expect to be intrigued. The gift shop is also very nice & the staff that was working the day I was there had a great personality. Would definitely come back!

Great place to take visitors and give them a taste the weirdness Austin is famous for. It was fun, interesting, and downright silly at times, which was perfect for the day we planned. It's next to a few cool bars and smack in the middle of all the 6th Street craziness. We went on a Sunday afternoon with our out of town guests. The place was chock full of fascinating facts, and literally everywhere you look, there is something to catch your eye. Provided some great laughs and photos.

It was a really cool experience. They have 3 floors and it's themed. Even the floors are designed to look "Odd". Decent collection of real freaks around the world and it's not only human. Definitely a place to put in your to-do list if you are visiting Austin and a must see if you live there. It's located at the party area of town so parking can be difficult. Street parking is available throughout so plan accordingly.
