Fun shop with all kinds of odd things. Definitely worth the stop. I went on a Sunday morning when there was less traffic downtown. We tried to go Saturday but were overwhelmed by the traffic. There is a parking lot across Alaskan Way that is $12 plus tax for an hour but it is very convenient.

Great spot to find souvenirs from Seattle! You know you’ll be paying a premium for the stuff here. It is an interesting collection of cool and odd stuff all around!

Weird? Check. Historic? Check. Skeletons, dinosaur fossils, bizarre taxidermy, shrunken heads and more? Check. And I love it! So many narwhal tusks, whale bones, saw fish snouts and oddities floating in jars, your neck will tire from looking up, but make sure not to trip. Personal favorite oddity: the vampire extermination kit (apparently containing everything you need) featuring large hammer, wooden stake, silver crucifix, Bible and holy water, all in an attractive carrying case.

If you have kids this is a definite stop on the waterfront. Lots of cool stuff to see and cool toys / collectibles to buy. They have a one arm bandit in there, literally. Their original safe date backs to the early 1900's and they still use it today. Now that's cool.

Hi I noticed sometime ago that you had a model of houses in Brighton, England which had pipes on the roof-i was wondering if you still have it and is it for sale?

We have an item in our museum collection that is a village scene (The village is Brighton.) and it is made entirely out of cork. This was something that we purchased from Walter Potter's Museum of Curiosity when it closed and was put up for auction some years back. This village scene is over 175 years old. Sorry, it is not for sale but you can come in and view it as it is on display with the rest of our curio collection.

This shop is very congested with little knick-knacks everywhere. I'm sure you would be able to go in with wheelchair but as far as circling the store that might be difficult.
