You may ask, “What is George the Giant’s Strange Museum of Oddities & Wonders?!” This unique experience is inspired by the old “Dime Museum” and “Sideshows” of yesteryear. The museum exists as a “Pop-Up,” meaning it exists for only a short period of time. Similar to a “Dark Carnival,” appearing suddenly and then vanishing just as quickly, without a trace except the memories of what has been witnessed.
Tickets
Tickets are $10 individually. Save by buying family packs of 3 or more. Presale tickets are available here.
Come on by and see the strange and odd for yourself and have an opportunity to talk to George and his crew about the weird collections available to see during the Run of George The Giant’s Strange Museum of Oddities & Wonders.
Keep Bakersfield Strange
You will be amazed by the weird and strange art, including matchstick carvings, portraits done with dryer lint, and even jewelry made with human hair.
Witness specimens of cryptozoology like fairies, the famed chupacabra! Your mind won’t comprehend nature’s miraculous mishaps like two-headed ducks and snakes. Old roadside attractions like the “Killer Bat,” and “16 foot Alligator.” Visitors should be warned that some of the museums artifacts are claimed to be haunted or cursed — but we’ll let the patrons decide for themselves.
