We had fun and are glad we went...a short walk to 23rd so adding The Peculiarium to our adventure was well worth it.

Totally worth the $5 if you're young at heart and enjoy a good laugh. It's not out-of-this-world-spectacular, but it's entertaining and not something...

It's not worth the $5 entrance fee. Make sure to wear a costume to get in free. The items are not really peculiar and the gift shop just has a bunch...

This is a museum and gift shop. The museum is small but it's got a lot of great stuff, so I would say it's more about quality over quantity. Haunted...

They sell edible bugs and they have an alien autopsy exhibit. Why are you not here right now?

We love to support our fellow oddball indy Portland businesses. If you're looking for an interesting collection to peruse, check out Stark's Vacuum Cleaner Museum. They've just remodeled, and are throwing a party Thursday night!
