This place is just amazing.... the sheer amount of items to look and absorb at is a bit overwhelming but oh so very cool!

Really cool place to visit. Small gift shop with very unique items. Most are locally made. Definitely a must go if you're in the area! Be sure to walk all around the museum outside, there's more art on other buildings.

If you're near South Street, this is a place you should visit! Lots and lots to see and explore. We had so much fun here. There's also a little gift shop with artists wares. This place is MAGICAL! I'd love to come back again.

Wow! What a cool place for adults and kids. Adults are 15$ and children under 5 are free. My four year old loved it too. It’s truly a gem. Purchase tickets online before arriving. We didn’t wait at all but we went on a weekday. The area is cool too with fun places to eat.

An absolutely fantastic place to be. I'm sure that everything that I thought of has already been said, so I will just say that I highly recommend you come here. Also buying tickets at least a day ahead of time is important. My pictures here are from one of their temporary exhibits.

Really interesting museum where they take attention to detail to the next level. All the employees who work are very helpful and seem to enjoy engaging with the patrons. The magic is everywhere you look, see and step on. Great place for a quick hangout or a first date! Need to book online for reservations. I got a ticket for entry within the next 30 mins but some had to wait for a few hours.

An interesting, whimsical experience. Like most artistic experiences, this isn't going to be for everyone. Certain perspectives feel like walking through a decades-old trash collection, but if one looks closely messages and beauty appear. One could spend 20 minutes or 2 hours touring the outdoor and small indoor displays. For those with shorter attention spans, a scavenger hunt is available to help discover some of the hidden gems that can be found.

We found this teeny tiny ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Gem while passing through Philadelphia and I enjoyed my visit! Amazing repurposed items made into art was super cool!

Museum members with ROAM privileges get in free. It is recommended that you make reservations for timed entry since the museum is so small.

We parked on the street.

The workers were extremely friendly. Check out the cool pics I captured! Very unique!
