Museums sometimes get a bad rap, especially from kids. Most traditional museums are quiet destinations that give us rich insight into a topic – from art to local history. Some even get labeled boring. The Uranus Sideshow Museum in Missouri isn’t your typical museum. And…there’s a pretty good chance you’re not going to label this one-of-a-kind museum “boring.” However, you’ll probably want to plan a visit to judge for yourself.
Go to Uranus, tucked in the town of St. Robert, with absolutely no expectations, because no matter what you think awaits, you're going to be blown away by the unique experience.
The "town" features several attractions, including the Uranus Sideshow Museum. Set aside all your preconceptions about museums, because this is one that will keep you enthralled from start to finish.
Boasting the world's second largest collection of oddities, Uranus Sideshow Museum promises a one-of-a-kind experience - no matter how many times you visit.
Carve out plenty of time for your visit, because you'll want to see everything. A Christmas tree hanging from the ceiling during the holidays? It just doesn't get any more festive.
Oh, but the fun is just getting started. Check out framed butterflies and an historical marker noting the day a husband won an argument with his wife way back in 1964.
