Touchstone Wildlife & Art

Great for kids. $ 5 entry fee and kids up to 5 years old get in free. They have a fenced in area out back to feed the deer. My kids were excited and loved the place.

Heavyset woman at the front inexcusably rude… I wouldn’t even think of recommending this place to friends or family much less bringing kids in there. The Science museum or Gators and Friends is much better.

This is the greatest hidden gem in this area!!! I have always wanted to visit this museum! This is American roadside greatness! This is why you road trip across this great land! To find places just like this! And though I live not far from here, I felt like I could be anywhere in this great world, while inside and outside this visually-​stimulating monument to the animals of this planet and the art of taxidermy. And of all places, it’s right off Highway 80 in Haughton! Where else could it be? And we are so very lucky to have it here!!! This place IS Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure! It really is! ATTENTION MOVIE LOCATION SCOUTS!!! You will be doing your director a great service by nailing down this site for a shoot! You really could shoot any genre here and any situation, comedy/horror/action…great for background use during dialogue sequences (both interior and exterior of this business!) Heck, you could shoot a cool music video here, even! I LOVE this place! I spent my 41^st birthday here just being mesmerized by exhibit after exhibit! There is so much here, you will be on sensory overload from the time you park your car in the side parking lot! It is my new favorite place and adult admission is only $ 2.50…What…Yes, only $ 2.50 for grown ups!!! There are two floors to the exhibit, all sorts of stuffed mammals and reptiles. The second floor is surprisingly massive! Please visit this museum and bring your camera! This place is kitschy, trippy, mind-​bending, quirky, surreal, and even somewhat cheesey and dated, but I just LOVE it for that! I LOVE it! I LOVE it for everything that it is and all that it represents! Please don’t miss out on this place! Please don’t just drive by it! Do not pass it by!!! This just might be one of the coolest places I have ever been!!! And I have been to lots of strange and interesting places, all over, I assure you! This place has a great soul! It has tremendous guts! It’s real and it’s GREAT! My mere words here on Unilocal do NOT do it justice! Bring your kids! They will LOVE it!!! Their imaginations will run wild! Their cache of creativity will be stoked from a tiny spark to a full-​on, raging, pyrotechnic extravaganza! The Touchstone Wildlife & Art Museum is the most exciting and interesting place in this area! I’m serious! Call to check their hours before visiting.
