A general admission ticket gets you access to peruse and shop from a selection of vendors, dealers, and artists offering oddities like antiques, art, funeral collectibles, and other morbid curiosities. Those being — creepy baby dolls, animal skeletons, octopus-filled crystal balls, and everything in between.
For an additional $5, you can also buy admission to the Museum of Marvelous Mutations — an educational walk-through booth appropriate for all ages.
Or take the 2-Headed Duckling Taxidermy Class hosted by Heather Clark of The Sleeping Sirens. Get hands-on taxidermy experience for $235 (admission included). The class runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., but don’t worry — there will be breaks to allow you time to shop the vendors.
