Paul B was our very practiced tour guide, 1st, recounting the long & storied history of the Kazoo, supplementing the many visuals in their museum, 2nd, showing and demonstrating many varieties of Kazoos, 3rd, showing us their manufacturing process, 4th, creating our own personal Kazoo with different colored bodies & caps, 5th, Paul B taking pictures of us and 6th, checking out their gift shop. Though I was disappointed that we would not be operating their plastic ejection molding equipment (they buy that part from a company in Michigsn), i was satisfied with installing the reed and using their press to attach the cap onto the body, as was our 10-year old granddaughter. I'd recommend the 2 hours as money well spent. read more

Hard to believe it took me this long to finally visit, but I'm glad I did. I arrived with more than an hour to spare before the next guided tour, so I wandered through the museum on my own, picked up a fridge magnet and a kazoo, and continued on my way. I also picked up a few fun facts along the way. First off, the movie was a delight - dancing and singing kazoos narrating the history of this humble little instrument. Kazoobie Kazoos has been cranking out high-quality plastic kazoos in the U.S. since 1999, with nearly a million shipped each year to destinations around the globe. The museum's exhibits walk you through the kazoo's evolution, from early wooden and metal models to the brightly colored plastic versions we know today. One of the standout displays is a giant American flag made entirely of red, white, and blue kazoos - a cheerful tribute to the kazoo's uniquely American roots. Admission is free, the fresh kazoos from the baskets are inexpensive, and the history is genuinely entertaining. Definitely worth the stop!

the woman who ran the tour was funny, sweet, informative, and kept it interesting for children and adults. it was a lot of fun. it's fast, you're not in there for a long time. which is good because it smelled. someone said it smelled because they share the space with a clothing place and sure, whatever. all I know is I couldn't wait to breath easier outside. read more

Grandkids age 9 (girl) and 11 (boy) really liked the tour. They especially loved making their own kazoos! We found the whole experience to be enjoyable and worth the low price. read more

Omg! This was indeed a treat. My 17 and 19 yo granddaughters came up from Florida for a visit. As a lark I brought them to the Kazoobie Kazoos factory thinking it would be humorous entertainment. We all had a great time, even my husband. Indulge your child side! read more

We weren't sure what to expect but Paul was a great tour guide! We built our own kazoos and learned how important kazoos are to American music history. read more

Paul was a fantastic guide. He was knowledgeable and FUN. Making a Kazoo to take and playing Happy Birthday to another guide was perfect.

Great staff especially Paul. The video prey was fun and enlightening. Loved the tour of the factory and then we got to make our own kazoos. read more

A tiny factory and museum that was SO MUCH FUN to visit. Nancy, our tour guide, was friendly and enthusiastic. She demonstrated a bunch of kazoos and whistles after we watched a cute video history. We made our own kazoos at the end of the tour and she hummed/played kazoo along with us! Suitable for families and the young at heart (like us!). This is an off-the-beaten-path kind of place. Make sure to go. Highly recommended!! read more

What an absolute gem! This is a MUST see in Beaufort! For children, adults and families alike! As soon as we walked in we were happily greeted by Jenny, who was our incredible, chipper and enthusiastic tour guide! I loved her energy and passion for this amazing place! Everyone gets to make their very own colorful kazoo! We get to choose different colors and pieces! We learn about different horns and whistles! If you check in on Yelp you get a free extra whistle on your kazoo it's super awesome! There are so many attractions, movie scenes from Forest Gump, but you NEED to stop in and see what this little place is about! It's my favorite place in Beaufort! You will not regret coming in and walking out with a big ol smile! read more

We were visiting the area with our kids and my mom suggested we check out the Kazoo Factory, so we stopped in on a whim. It was actually pretty fun and also quite random. We ordered tickets in advance. Once we got there, we watched a short video, then had a live presentation with a backroom tour, and then got a parting gift of a kazoo. The staff were really friendly and the kids seemed to get a kick out of it. read more

Just good old-fashioned fun! Learn a bit about the history of kazoos, and then build your own! We also took home "the world's loudest kazoo," the "kazobo," which features two sound membranes working alongside a large horn and YES, this bad boy is WAY loud! read more

I visited the Kazoo factory after seeing such outstanding reviews. As a disclaimer, I went as an adult with my adult cousin, but we both consider ourselves kids at heart. We went for the factory tour and were excited to see how kazoos were made. There were 2 short videos played (one was a collage of photos of a plastic extruder machine, the other was hilarious kazoo story). The guide then plays a bunch of different kazoos and whistles that they sell in the store, basically just trying to upsell you. After that, you see a room where a few pieces of plastic were assembled to make kazoos. I would not consider this to be a factory, as the kazoo is made in Florida and 3 pieces are put together in Beaufort. Also, kazoos sound horrific. read more

Our small group of adults enjoyed the tour very much. It was both entertaining and informative. Our guide was very cheerful and accommodating. The gift shop is full of goodies! read more

Great tour!!!!! Ask for Nancy!!!!! So much fun!!!!! Nothing else to say but Yelp wants 85 characters

Well we are deaf. Of course that is not for us. I asked my sister , she is hearing. She said it was interesting for adults. Kids were not recommended. It iwas more of hand wok assemblies by the workers. Nothing was to do with the big machine to run. The kazoo my sister said was amazing to hear different tones. I cannot ay more myself. read more

The Kazoo Factory tour was amazing. A film explained the history of the kazoo and showed how the plastic parts were manufactured. Nancy demonstrated the extensive kazoo products and also the Acme Whistle products. For such a simple product, the process was carefully followed to produce quality kazoos. At the end of the tour, each of us chose a body and cap to assemble our own kazoo. It was certainly an hour of time well spent read more

We enjoyed a fascinating tour by Nancy who is an expert in the workings and assembly of kazoos! She was a delight!

Love of music? Learn all about the kazoo. What a gem to find when touring. Fun, fun, fun. Who knew there was so much info about a kazoo! A small staff with big pride. Visit. read more

I can't believe it has taken me over a year to write this review! But, just like Kazoobie Kazoos, it is worth not getting overlooked. Located in an unassuming warehouse, the fun oozes out the double doors as you pull up and see kids of all ages walk out smiling and humming on their kazoos, blowing on their whistles and making beautiful noises that will surely aggravate the in about ten minutes. As you enter you are directed to the museum that takes you through the -no kidding- fascinating history of the kazoo. Who knew?! Once it is your time, you head over to the "theater" for an interactive show put on by a very enthusiastic and knowledgeable staff member. Then you get to go to the factory in the back. It is simply amazing how they have perfected and simplified making the kazoo over the years. And I did not know how popular they still are today! To end your tour, you get to make your very own customized kazoo. It is still proudly on display on my desk/bookshelf today. There is also a small gift shop where you can purchase other fun items as well as Kazoobie Kazoos merchandise. I don't think I have ever been anywhere where the staff had so much fun at their job and were so friendly. Our guides were Ashley and Sarah and were absolutely excellent! read more

Kazoobie Kazoos - Handmade by me! - Museums Near Me - Beaufort, South Carolina

I have an inexplicable weakness for factory tours. Cabot Cheese? Of course, this Dairy State girl's gotta represent. Jelly Bellies? Hey, if they were good enough for the Gipper... Allagash Beer? Need you ask? Taza Chocolate and Pez? See Allagash. Now, apparently, I can add Kazoos to the list: I gotta echo my fellow Yelpers 100 % on this one. This is such a sweet little side trip if you happen to be en route between Charleston & Savannah. The tour, which includes a short video overview, and a sneak peak into a back room where all the "action" happens, is simple but informative. Not a whole lot of bells & whistles:), but hey, you get to make your own custom-colored plastic kazoo to take home in the end. Hope, our guide was cool with the ever-inquisitive hubby cornering her in the gift shop for a discussion on politics. This was pre-Trump and let's just say he was interested in getting a firsthand Southern perspective. But I digress. Just go. Because for $5 pp, you get an activity that will appeal to all but the most sullen, world-hating teen. And maybe even them too. read more

I'm a road trip junkie and to find a tour of a kazoo factory...well, that's a "must stop!" Kazoobie Kazoos is a real "down home" slice of Americana. They are the only kazoo factory in the USA and crank out over a million a year (who knew?). A staff member took a good half hour or more out of her day to give us a guided tour of the museum (really just a few showcases of kazoo-bilia and kazoo-lectibiles from years gone by), show us a couple short films, and give a great tour of the assembly process in the factory. And we just stopped in. Our guide dropped what she was doing just for us. At the conclusion of the tour, we all made our own kazoos and left with a smile on our face. Well worth a stop if you are anywhere close. read more

The only plastic Kazoo factory in the US. Found this place by typing "museum" into the Yelp app. I realized it was close to where I was staying so what the hey - why not? Came by on a Friday afternoon and got to see the museum, watched some videos, watched the tour guide demo a bunch of kazoos and other noisemakers, toured the factory, and even got to make a kazoo I got to keep. At the end the tour guide had us play "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" to "test" our kazoos. Songs in popular music that feature the kazoo: The Mound City Blowers - Arkansas Blues Art Mooney - Doo De Doo On An Old Kazoo Jesse Fuller - San Francisco Bay Blues I Believe In You from the musical How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying Joce & The Kazoo Band - Kazoo Kazoo Ringo Starr - You're Sixteen Jimi Hendrix - Crosstown Traffic Pink Floyd - Corporal Clegg Pink Floyd - Jugband Blues Red Hot Chili Peppers - Love Rollercoaster Queen - Seaside Rendezvouz Dionne Warwick - This Girl's In Love With You Jurassic 5 - Concrete Schoolyard (4:15 version - remixes leave out the kazoo part) To get there take Robert Smalls Parkway and turn off to the northwest on Burton Hill Road - take it till Industrial Village and take that until you get just past John Galt Road - you'll see the sign for New South Shirts - there's a big parking lot where you can park. Loads of fun. 5 bucks per person for the tour - I thought it was well worth it. Your mileage may vary greatly of course. read more

Great fun! The tour is very brief but interesting. The museum is even less substantial but, it is amusing and, the video presentation, alone, is worth the price of admission. (Especially since that also includes a kazoo to take home with you!) Staff members, Kami and Sarah, were cheerful and embrace the silliness without going overboard. read more

Our tour guide, Melody (yes Melody at a Kazoo factory) was fun, funny and informative too! Any place named Kazoobie Kazoo has to be a Five Star experience. We had some friends visiting from up north who wanted to visit KK. Since we had been planing to go soon, we got to go sooner. We browsed through the self guided museum, then watched a short video presentation. After which we were given a brief tour of the factory and warehouse. When we were properly educated on how Kazoobie Kazoos are created & distributed, we were able to make our own to take home! Also the showroom/gift shop is filled with fun accessories for your new kazoo. I can't see how this wouldn't be fun for anyone who can hum. read more

I loved loved loved loved this place. Wish I could give it 6 stars. It's beaufort and we are on vacation and it's raining and looked for something indoors and came across the kazoo factory and that there are even tours going on. Won't find a kazoo factory up near us in nj. We showed up and there was a tour just beginning. There was just one other group there, parents and their 3 kids. Then our guide played a small video and showed us around the assembly factory. It's was short and sweet, the tour guide was super nice but didn't torture us by going into details that the group would not care about. We then got to make our own kazoos and be silly by playing them loudly as we walked through the gift shop. It was the perfect place to get little trinkets to take home too. Loved the afternoon spent here. read more

My husband and I love the app "Roadside Attractions," so when we read the reviews of Kazoobie Kazoos and The Kazoo Factory on a recent road trip between Savannah, GA and Charleston, SC we knew we HAD to make a stop. And we are SO GLAD we did! This is one of the best roadside attractions we've ever visited! Kami did a FANTASTIC job educating us about the history of the kazoo, demonstrating different types of kazoos and accessories as well as other whistles & recorders & instruments; guiding us through a tour of the factory; and teaching us how to make our own kazoos! This place is worth a detour and/or worth a trip if you're from the area. You'll be laughing while you hum, inspired by all you learn, and joyous as you depart -- knowing you've supported a fantastic outfit! read more

Kazoobie Kazoos - Museums Near Me - Beaufort, South Carolina

My wife and I were on a road trip to Charleston but when I saw there was a Kazoo factory/museum we just had to take a detour and stop in. Our tour guide Melody was awesome. She showed us (at the time my wife and I and one other couple) a short video on the history of the Kazoo and the company, and then did demonstrations of all the different kazoo and kazoo type products they make/sell. Knowing really nothing about kazoos other then they were something you hummed into we also learned a good deal about them as actual musical instruments. Then we got to see the behind the scenes of the factory where they assemble, label, and package all the kazoos. At the end we got to put our own custom colored kazoo together to take home. They also have a store where you can buy more kazoo's and kazoo related items, as well as a small museum with all kazoo related items. Totally worth checking out if you are in the area (or making a detour for if you just love kazoos!) read more

Very fun stop during our family reunion in Beaufort, SC. My husband,3 sons 12, 8, and 7 along with my 14 year old niece loved the visit.
