LOVE this place. So many wonderful finds and interesting displays. I have been twice and found treasures each time. Staff is AMAZING. So knowledgeable and friendly. I live out of state and always make this a stop when I visit the Cleveland area.

Fantastic store had a lot of fun looking around at all the crazy things inside. My son loves taxidermy, so this was a blast. We walked out with a large-mouth bass. Will definitely come back for more.

I've visited a handful of times and I always find something that I love, but then this last time I went in I saw this red ceramic lion and HAD to take it home with me. I don't know why I felt like I needed it, but I love it and I'm so glad I stopped in that day. The staff were so friendly, and I'm sure they're used to having people come in and do a few loops around the store - it's just not possible to see everything in that first pass. Such a cool place, definitely check them out!

I had the pleasure of visiting this shop for my birthday after longing for a visit for several months. First off, there are SO MANY items to see. The walls, cabinets, and surfaces all have amazing products. My advice is to take your time browsing if oddities are what you’re into or else you might miss something. I had the pleasure of meeting a staff member (wish I remembered her name) who was extremely knowledgeable about the Radium girls and the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory tragedy. She was so kind, attentive, and helpful. She took the time to show me various mortuary tools they had in stock after voicing my interest in them. That employee additionally showed me her frogs and educated me on them which I LOVED. There are so many things to appreciate here. Visiting this store made my birthday trip so worth it. Friendly staff, excellent variety of items, and amazing genuine specimens. 10/10. Cannot wait to visit again and clear out some of their wishlist items for me. If you’re on the fence about visiting, take the plunge. These people are truly incredible and have so many options for all areas of interest. Thank you for making my birthday so worth it. Keep doing what you do!!! :)

I don't know if I have the words to articulate how awesome this place was! I think this is the first oddity shop that I've been to that allowed us to take pictures. They had an incredible selection and the person with the really cool hair who was working the desk at about 3 on Saturday November 2nd was so nice and had good information! This is a great place to find gifts for all your spooky friends and family. Prices were very fair, especially for some of the incredible taxidermy.
