Purchased the birthday box for my sons birthday, and it was awesome. Ive never seen so much random weirdness in one package. Not only did they rush it out to get it here for his birthday, but they searched through storage to add an item that wasnt on their website. Awesome store....awesome people running it.

For the size and what is contained within, I was blown away. Its just a weird collection, like a giant cabinet of curiosities. And the people running the place have a great sense of humor. Dont come in here expecting a 2 hour long museum tour. This is a small space packed the brim with odd things. Its hard to know what facts posted are indeed facts, and thats the point. Odd little place, totally worth a visit. And yes, reading what is written inside makes the experience better.

True to its name! One of most unique places to visit in Portland for sure. To give you an idea of how freaky it was, they have a coffin you can lie down in!The owner (I think he was) was super friendly and extremely enthusiastic to help. Entry to the museum is only $5. Its a tiny establishment but suffice to say, you will not be disappointed. Also, do check out the shop for some really cool gifting ideas.

Great exhibits, off-beat. Worth a trip if you share their sense of humor. There are useful safety tips to protect yourself from zombie attacks and informative displays on what happens to your stolen organs. How can you not use that information?

This place is amazing. As a horror fanatic this was such a cheap but thrilling adventure! Located not too far away from downtown Portland it’s such a cute spot to hang out with friends if they aren’t too scared. I really enjoyed how some of these exhibits were interactive and we could go inside a fake burial or have fun taking photos with the cut up corpses. The place is small but the exhibits are tightly packed! Would come again!

I’ve wanted to visit for a while now. I liked this place a lot. Don’t expect a big museum. It’s small but full of fun, art, wonder and laughter.

My daughter and I visited from San Diego and was NOT disappointed! This place is awesome, it has some of the strangest but most fascinating things weve ever seen! Its packed with the most insanely intriguing items and displays, we must have spent a good hour and a half looking around. A must of youre visiting or live in Portland.

Absolutely terrific collection of odd things and interesting experiences! Fun gift shop with no entrance fee containing custom art and funny gags. $5 fee to get inside to see the items is nothing! It’s not a huge space but very diverse and fun collection. We’ll be back!

This place is cool. On one side its a little museum type thing, with fun oddities/exhibits. Its $5 to go through there. Or free if youre in a cool costume. You can take a photo with the alien autopsy exhibit. They are moving soon to a bigger space, so hopefully to make room for more cool exhibits. The other part is the shop. Theres fun stuff to buy, including prints that were only $6!

Pretty cool, very small museum. Worth the $5 to wander around and they have some awesome items in the gift shop.

I saw this place on a list of things to do when visiting Portland. The museum and shop is small, but worth it. Admission is only 5$. It was a bit outside the downtown Portland area, but just a short drive away. There were lots of random creepy things to look at and you can pretty much find something new each time you turn. It is small, but there are a lot of elements in here so if you take your time, you wont lose interest.There is a fake coffin in which you can lie down and experience the sensation of being buried alive. There are also cute little activities or closer looking opportunities throughout the museum. Even the restroom has its quirks. Ive definitely never seen any museum like this and Im so glad I decided to come visit.

Wasnt sure what I would think of this from the start. It is almost best to think of it like a tiny bizarre scifi horror art museum. Worth the 5 bucks a head to get in and I was tempted to pick up many of the pieces they had for sale.

Free gift shop! 5$ small walk through. Worth it.The museum has a bunch of cool weird things. Artistic and just strange

This place is pretty neat, definitely worth a visit if youre in town.

Well spent $5. Lots of fun things to check out. The gift shop is petty cool too.

A unique find in Portland, interesting and strange displays throughout the gallery, a small $5.00 fee per person is fair to kill sometime with visiting friends from California.

Its a fun, affordable stop to see art, weird collections and fun Monsters. Right now they have a Krampus you can take pics with! I have to go back, I know I didnt see everything :)

This place is so interesting! I was there this afternoon and it completely boggles my mind that Ive never heard of this place before. I do advise it is not for the weak of heart, but it is incredibly interesting to spend some time at. People need to be talking about this place more!! Very fun afternoon activity.

Awesome spot with a fun loop of unique surprises. The employee I spoke with was friendly and informative of all they had to offer. Not a bad location and definitely worth the stop while in Portland! Some really great finds in there for purchase. I certainly left with a few things!

Its definitely worth $5 and there is tons of cool artwork I wish I could afford to buy. The gift shop has some cool stuff and took some great pics of my son.

Probably my favorite museum/mystery shack ever. The exhibits and the gift shop were worth the trip. See what its like to be buried alive! Confuse children as they try to figure out a rotary telephone! Alien autopsies!I left with a cookie-esque fortune, a salt shaker shaped like Idaho, and a poster showing Big Foot charging at you foaming at the mouth whilst firing two machine guns into the air [which is truly amazing].Definitely worth the $5 entry fee (its free if you wear a costume when you visit).

Not very big but it makes up for Its size with all of the strange and unique things to look at. Its only 5 bucks to get in so if you are in the area and looking for something fun to do, definitely check this place out.

It was exactly what we thought itd be, full of weird stuff haha. We had fun; worth the $5, and if you wear a costume its free.

Only $5 to get into the museum, super cool stuff and absolutely worth it

Such an awesome gem!! And a totally fun way to spend some time if you are short on cash! Only $5 to get in and tons of fun photo ops!! The guy working the counter when we went was really awesome and helpful.

Bunch of fun. Lots of kitschy stuff to see and buy. Totally worth it.

Definitely obscure and had some interesting stuff but very small. Unless you are close I wouldnt go too far out your way to go there

Small but quirky, fun spot to stop. Bring your dog youll get in for free

Cute little museum type interactive experience. Its costumes, props, and art with a supernatural or cryptid theme. Lots of fun photo ops. Its $5 to walk through the art gallery its not very big but theyre moving to a bigger location. Hopefully when that happens theyll use the opportunity to dust and repair some of the displays lol. I enjoyed my visit a lot.

Pretty cool place with lots of peculiar things. Only $5 for admission makes it a great place to kill an hour.Cant wait for the new location to open and see all the cool new stuff they add.

Well worth $5 entry

One of those crazy places you just have to experience if you are ever in the area

The Peculiarium was a great final stop, after a long day of walking around Portland. Some of the artifacts are a bit hokey and campy, but thats part of the charm. TONS of Big Foot schwag for purchase, tons of gag gifts, and one of a kind creations for purchase. I will definitely stop in again, the next time I find myself getting weird in Portland town.

Not bad. Fun place. The museum was a little small. The price isnt bad unless youre paying for multiple people but worth visiting.

This little museum is simply wonderful! I had not been here when I lived in Portland, but getting to visit during my trip was just amazing. Everything from an alien dissection, to old pictures of oddities to a Big Foot. The gift shop has several items of curiosity to buy, like Big Foot droppings, gag gifts and serious gifts. I loved it and would recommend for all teens and adults.

Not bad for $5. I think the website is cooler than the actual museum. Its like walking through a well lit Halloween house. Lots of Bigfoot art, cheesy gift store. Got a confession? Toss it in the box and grab your fortune on the way out..

This little museum is a must visit! Clever and funny, intriguing and gross, this very Portland stop did not disappoint and was a fun half hour of browsing!

Its more of that quirky Portland garage sale vibe that permeates so much of this city. The oddities are kitschy junk that you wont actually buy, arranged randomly, like a basement collection of your junior high school friend. The novelty is quickly fleeting.

LOVED IT! So fun n freaky

Very small place but for 5 dollars its worth it. A good place to take some funny pictures. Also a good place to get souvenirs for family and friends. Worth seeing if you are in the area.

An absolute must see in Portland. How they can stuff so much useless yet fascinating death and occult related junk in one small warehouse is amazing. Jokes and gags around every corner. Youll take more pictures here than at Voodoo Donuts, thats for sure!

Simply adorable!! A must see in Portland. The museum is very small but you can take q while if you really pay attention to detail (like I do)

Cute little museum if youre trying to kill some time. You probably dont need more than 30 minutes in here but for $5 its pretty fun. Just a bunch if oddities and facts about different phenomenons.

Definitely need to check this place out once while in Portland. Kinda tacky but I think that adds the the experience. Great area right by mcmenamins 23rd ave bottle shop and great coffee shops.

This was definitely an interesting exhibit! Super quirky! Was a nice quick stop, before we headed to the shops. Theres an admission fee. The little shop there, has funny, interesting things you can buy too!

All the good reviews posted here are people playing a trick on tourists to fool them into wasting $5 for the museum. Museum is about 30 ft total walk, full of nothing particularly peculiar. My grandparents garage or the local Goodwill store is more interesting.

It is freaky, but actually true. It is also peculiar and possibly weird. Well worth the admission price. Even the gift shop is worth checking out. Friendly people.

Awesome little stop while in portland. Wont see anything like this anywhere else. Has a confession box and cool little souvenirs and post cards. The zombie room was awesome and unexpected. I was looking forward to it the whole trip and am not dissapointed!

This place is definitely peculiar. I get a really creepy, serial-killer vibe whenever Im around it. Plus, theres this creepy camo tent in the corner of the entry where a homeless guy sleeps every late afternoon & evening.

I did not know what to expect when I walked in here but it was a lot of fun! They have some interactive pieces and a lot of memorabilia. Just remember this is not a haunted house! Nothing is going to jump out at you even though it may seem like it. Really cool place with a neat gift shop/joke shop at the end.

Excellent! $5 gets you in or enjoy FREE if you come in costume. Mini museum features hilarious, gruesome, and interactive exhibits with helpful staff and a great vibe.

Theres weird and then theres Portland weird and this is the pinnacle of Portland weird. what a trip! such a cool little stop to immerse yourself in absolute strangeness. definitely take the little tour they have set up, its work it. they are very friendly and try their hardest to have all the oddities you could ever imagine. highly recommend stopping in if this is your scene!

It was pretty cool. I half expected it to be a bit bigger but well worth it. The staff was friendly. The place was clean.

This place is a wonderful representation of the slogan Keep Portland Weird. Everything in this museum/gift shop is weird, bizarre and/or comical. For $5 you can walk around the museum and you may be frightened by some of the attractions but the atmosphere compensates for that. Gift shop was nice and the staff are friendly. This is a must-go for tourists.

This place was so fun and kids love it. Btw if you dress up admission is free. All well worth the visit.

My partner and I visited back in November, and we loved it!Definitely a bit of a quirky hole-in-the-wall place, but it’s definitely worth the price of admission to look around and see some neat things!

Very inexpensive and so much to see!

This has been my favorite part of Portland so far! Would travel to Portland again just to come back to the Peculiarium

I love this weird little place! Its a taste of Portland, achievable in an afternoon. Please take your out-of-town friends and family here for a truly memorable experience!

What a fun place for only $5. All sorts of random displays, such as Star Trek memorabilia and horror movie models. There are plenty of photo opportunities, including taking a selfie with Krampus, standing tall with Bigfoot, or being autopsied by aliens. This is not a large place, and only takes about 20-30 minutes to get through. There is a lot of oddity art here, such as paintings, sculptures and hanging faces, which seems to be reasonably priced. They also have vintage post cards, and old black and white photos if you’re in to that kind of thing. Check it out if you like the bizarre or unusual.

Fun to go with teenagers. Not visuals for kids or adults that don’t like the site of guts or blood. Not scary, no jump scares or anything like that. Contains small amounts of prank items and a lot of items with odd humor.

Not my cup of tea. But interesting!

Great little museum if you are over this way, well with the stop

Great quirky little stop if youre into anything weird! Just $5 for admission and lots of UNIQUE gifts and odd local art in their giftshop.

Super weird in the best way possible

Really cool place! Take your time and read all the exhibits and placards as theyre alot of fun!

Fun for the whole family.

Awesome little spot. Worth the trip!

Its a short visit. One of those things you do only once. Not crazy expensive and there is some fun weird things to buy.

Super cool if only a bit small.

This is a quick, small, fun experience. A lot of the peculiarities are sight gags based on puns. There are a couple of good photo opportunities. The gift shop has some interesting stuff.

Entertaining, mostly free and a neat spot if youre looking for the weird sides of Portland. Unimpressed with the big ice cream but it made for a fun dare on the cheap.

Really cool place! Awesome collection of peculiar things and collectibles. From a haunted doll house to pictures with Krampus and even a simulator for being buried alive!

Worth the price and super quirky. Cool picture opportunity in weird Portland

Worth the five dollars Id say. Whacky and goofy spot to relax and stretch your legs.

Lots of bizarre things to see and its only $5. Totally worth checking out.

Definitely weird but very unique. I would go back

Super awesome! I went there with my friend to show him the great city of Portland and he loved it. Wouldnt recommend bringing young children there.

Odd little museum. Nice place to visit. Friendly staff. Gift shop too!

Awesome place. Best 5 bucks spent. 20 minutes of pure fun.

If youre appreciate weird stuff... Be sure to check out the museum. Freakybuttrues satisfied my hunger for weird! Check out their ice cream toppings! Yummmmm!

This is a Portland staple. Unique little art gallery with a flare for the weird & bizarre. The interactive exhibit with the aliens was my favorite part and a great photo op. They also have a merman here too! Parking may be a bit of a challenge, but you can usually find a spot somewhere nearby.

Love this weird place! Everywhere you look you notice something you missed the just moments before! Great bargain for your buck! Cheap entertainment and Great photo ops! Have fun exploring! This screams Weird Portland in a baby space! Oh and its out of the Rain! Yahoo!

Fun little shop worth the visit. Some weird things to look at and buy. Do the tour if its not too crowded

A tourist and local must-see.

Easy quick fun. Going back to eat the bug sunday!

It was a pretty cool place to visit. We enjoy visiting places that have weird things to look at so this was a pretty fun stop while on vacation.

Cool storefront but online hypes it up way more than it actually should be. One half room filled with basically professional arts and crafts. Not worth the price.

Was cool to see, but wasnt that informative. More just a collection if odd stuff with minimal writings.

Very fun! A couple of interactive exhibits. Small, but full to bursting with odds and ends. Dont forget to look up!They no longer serve ice cream.

Unique and fun museum. Plus its short if you want something short to experience.

Got $5 and 45 minutes to burn? Uniquely Portland and not much else. Some weird sculptures for sale by local artists

Fun! I loved it. I will certainly be taking friends here when they come to visit to show them which places truly represent Portland.

I happen to stroll on by here while wandering around Portland. Admission is $5 for their exhibit. It’s extremely small, but they allow you to take photographers. They have some very odd items in the museum, but nothing to write home about. The staff was nice. The gift shop had some interesting trinkets to take home.

So short ! But I enjoyed everything :)

This place is weird fun. Wacky stuff and Bigfoot is at the door.

A lot packed in to this three room museum of sorts. With its interactive exhibits like, what it feels like to be buried alive, the $5 cover is money well spent. Not to mention they serve ice cream sundaes with a variety of real bug toppings.

Small, but full of interesting and fun items! Worth checking out!

Been coming here for years. Today I made some purchases but left my card, the fella at the counter chased me down the block and gave it back to me with seconds to spare before the bus arrived. Top-notch service.

Small but packed with interesting things. Take small steps.
