Here is a brief breakdown of some of Austin’s most well-known and hidden oddities, such as the Museum of the Weird.
Museum of the Weird
One great place to start is the Museum of the Weird. Here, you’ll find monsters, zombies, wax figures, and more. According to their website, this is “one of the last ‘dime museums’ popularized by P.T. Barnum in the 1800s.” It is also connected to the Lucky Lizard Curios & Gifts shop, which has many unique oddities that you can bring home.
Sparky Park
Sparky Park is a wonderful (but also weird) place to admire the arts and plan a mid-day picnic. It was previously an electrical substation but has since been revitalized in 2008 by local artist Berthold Haas and more artists. Walls and more are covered with bits of shiny, lost objects like glass, rocks, shells, marbles, and more to create eye-catching murals.
The Eureka Room
The Eureka Room is one of the more absurd attractions in Austin. It’s an interactive sensory experience in a 100-square-foot space. It incorporates lights, sounds, and many surprises we won’t spoil.
Lala’s Little Nugget
If you are looking for a drink and love Christmas, consider grabbing a cold one at Lala’s Little Nugget. Here, it’s Christmas every day. The walls and halls are decked year-round with lights, ornaments, tinsel, and other decor. You can’t miss it, either. Look for Santa and his reindeer on the roof.
