Definitely a unique spot to Austin. Only $12 bucks so worth checking out for first timers or those who have not got before. Right on sixth street. Consisted of 3 floors. Probably spent 30 minutes. A …Full review by kpbooth3

Only $12, right on 6th Street near a bunch of other stuff. Bigger inside than it looks from the street and definitely worth the visit.Full review by Icarus4335

If you like weird stuff you’ll like it. It’s exactly the kind of tourist trap that you think it is, and if you’re someone like me who likes that type of thing, you won’t be disappointed.Full review by calebs91

Is this accessable for those with mobility issues? My friend is not in a wheelchair but needs places to rest frequently due to severe joint pain. So multiple benches or resting places, and wide walking space would be needed for her to be comfortable and enjoy herself.

Q:
I believe kids are about seven dollars per child under 8(I can't remember if it's under 8 or 9). Adults are around $12 but I'm not sure about senior citizen. I never looked at that price. Sorry, I'm not too helpful but I think your kids should go somewhere else because this is 10-30 minutes to look at and short show. I'm not sure if your kids likes weird things then go for it but the money isn't worth to spend. Like I said before, if the price is $5 dollars per person/child then I'll go there for sure. Let me know if you like it or not.

Wiley, thanks for inquiring! The price for seniors is $11 and includes the museum, guided tour, and show. Kids under 8 are $7 each. I hope you can make it, my wife and I are the owners and put our heart and soul into building this place and providing our guests with quality entertainment. And please realize ChicagoGal0028 is one of the small minority of people who have given us a negative 1 star review. If you want people's true reactions, look at ALL of the reviews on Trip Advisor or Yelp, and not just this one Negative Nellie. :) Thanks Wiley, I hope you can make it!
