I can see why this place has a middle of the road rating. I however felt it was a 4 star, based off my experience. First, it is a bit pricey for what they have going on, but I was curious. General admission is $20 and the UV light upgrade was $30. I opted to go with the basic, but saw someone that got the UV light while I was in the museum and they said that it was not worth it. They do not allow photos to be taken while in the museum and you must show your ID to enter. The museum does a good job setting the mood and is dimly lit. you need a flashlight, that they provide with the general admission, to read the information pages around the museum. The museum is full of doll, clowns, ouija boards that are supposedly possessed of have abnormal activity surrounding it. They are all self report, and I will admit that it was kind of creepy reading the stories of the items. The museum is two levels, the main floor and the basement. I ventured into the basement and it was extra creepy. It was a little darker, I was alone, and you heard the foot seps of the people walking on the main floor. If there was a time to make me a true believer, this was it. I am glad that I did not experience any activity or made a believer anyway. I would have wet my pants. There is an underworld section in the basement, that has a caution and they request you wash your hands with holy water before you enter and after you leave the area. Like I said, I am not sure I believe in that stuff, but they did a great job setting the table. The staff there was very nice and helpful, but this is not a thing that I would do again. It is a unique attraction and I am glad that I was able to do it once. If you do go, I would say to go in with an open mind and except the musesum for what it is. And if you are like me, do you really want to experience some activity there. I would have lost my mind if one of the dolls moved or I heard a child's laughter during my visit.

This place is the equivalent of an oddities store in your local state without the benefit of being able to purchase anything. Seems the majority of anything and everything has been donated and all the descriptions have the same verbiage. If you want patrons to think it's a descriptions given to you by the person who donated it - don't have the words 'lower realm' on all the descriptions, since no one talks like that. They have a wide array of dolls, oddities, clowns, and various things on the floor below. There's items that have been donated that a child was scared of(Children are scared of a lot of things), a 'homemade head' with plastic vampire teeth and even an orange cone that didn't even have a story other than it was on site during a fatal traffic accident. Interesting to note, that the 'homemade head' with plastic vampire teeth stated it had 'low readings' on the description but is behind a barrier stating all items have a huge connection to the 'lower realm.' How can something have low readings but have a huge connection? $15.00 is probably on the high side for this little museum, especially given the fact you can't take pictures. But that's understandably so, because if the pictures ever made it online - people probably wouldn't go visit - since the only reason you would enter is due to curiosity not because something paranormal is going to happen or come home with you.

The staff was super sweet! And all the artifacts were intriguing to learn about. The basement feels really uneasy and definitely read the warning before going into Claire's room in the basement. It's was a great experience and I definitely recommend it

***Just a heads up you are NOT allowed to take photos or use your phone once you enter the exhibit rooms*** This was the most interesting thing I've done in a while since ghost hunting in Jerome, AZ. They have quite a few "packages" to pick from so I did the regular one for $15. They give you a flashlight and the option to rent some ghost hunting electronics for an additional charge I believe. They have quite the collection of Ouija Boards, dolls, random items, and some clowns (I wasn't ready for the clowns seeing as they terrify me), so just so you know they do have a cute little collection of clown dolls! I do want to go back again to try the 10 minutes in the dark challenge when I'm a little braver. Highly recommend visiting if you are into this kinda stuff.

We were so excited to visit the Museeum of Shadows! We planned this little trip months in advance. We were visiting from Kansas City and we're stoked to check out this little place. We didn't really know what to expect. I read online that you could do a self guided tour for $15 during the day or you could pay $40 for a Ghost Hunt tour at night. We did the ghost hunt that started at 10pm on a Friday. We arrived a little early to check in. They asked us if we were interested in doing a sit challenge for $10 per person. The sit challenge is when you are left alone in the basement with all lights off for ten minutes. They also offered us ghost hunting equipment. Midway through the hunt, I decided to rent an EMF reader which ended up costing $20 for the duration of the tour. In my opinion, I think this is super overpriced. $40 for the ghost hunt plus all the extras. Ends up being a pretty pricey evening if you want to rent things. Once we walked through the doors for the tour, we were kind of expecting it to be a tour.. I would think that they would tell us some information on some of the haunted items. Instead, it was almost like we were expected to know what to do or who the most haunted doll was. All in all, it was pretty cool but I don't think I would want to come back for the ghost hunt. Makes me wonder what the daytime tour is like. P.S. They don't let you take any photos at all. Again, I think this is totally odd. All ghosts tours I've been on, they encourage you to take photos.

Only pic I could take

I read the reviews so I knew what to expect. Staff was very friendly and nice. I was alone in the place so that made it even better. Dim red lights light the area and you use a provided small flashlight to walk around. Artifacts with index cards telling about item and supposedly haunted condition. If you like haunted stuff, then the $20 is worth it. No pictures allowed. I came prepared with a little bit brighter light. All in all I liked it and enjoyed the experience. I didn't do the sit down challenge-extra $10- nor did I rent any ghost hunting devices. I did have a small experience with one of the exhibits and a light flicker and both front desk Gil and I heard something strange over walkie talkie. Sooo......

Beautiful old buildings. This is the courthouse

Dare I say, this may be the best art museum I've been to! I was not expecting much and had assumed…read morethis would be a quick in and out, but I was so wrong! This labor of love (literally a dedicated museum to her late husband, George) and clad in Georgia Pink marble, was an absolute showstopper! The museum is huge and driving in, I didn't think I would be here for HOURS. I cannot explain the grandeur of walking in, seeing the high windows, the marble - an architectural beauty. The front desk let us know where all the exhibits were but made a point to tell me about a kid's area downstairs. We figured we would stop by their first and assumed it was going to be a wood table with crayons - MAN, it was NOT. It was this bright lime green room with books, toys.... light cubes you could piece together, vases to draw on to replicate Classic Roman or Greco imagery, a stop-motion area, digital canva to draw on the wall or the floor! It was so interactive! My husband let me slink away to see the ret of the museum - the contemporary section was nice and had enough pieces that it didn't seem like as last throw away section. The rest of the exhibits were smaller, but still intentional - 20th century art, the romantism era, indigenous art, some still life, and a small area for pottery. This will always be on my must see for Omaha - oh, and its FREE!

From iconic works by artists like Kehinde Wiley, Georgia O'Keeffe, and Auguste Rodin to stunning…read morecontemporary pieces, every corner gives you something new to feel, discover, and reflect on. And the best part? It's completely FREE!  Whether you're looking for a solo reset, a cute date idea, quality time with friends, or a fun family outing, this is the perfect place to slow down, get inspired, and pour back into yourself. Let me also add - great location for weddings and recently did Slow Sundays (yoga) here! https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTDLEE28v/

We had a half of a day to kill before our Omaha flight and wanted to see this museum. So glad we…read morewent, the exhibits are very well documented and span the range from missiles and bombs, to drones, bombers, tankers, fighters, helicopters, and lunar modules from WWII onward and even a prototype Artemis lander. Flight simulators, a theater continuously screening space and air related films, and lots of activities for the kids plus some outside exhibits and benches for enjoying the view round out the experience. The entrance to the museum is beautifully constructed with a SR-71 Blackbird hanging from the ceiling. Many of the exhibits were very unique aircraft including a Quail decoy for the B-52 bomber, one of only 2 XF-85 Goblin parasite fighter escorts ever built, an EC-235C Looking Glass lying command center, a B-58A (one of only 6 remaining) mid range bomber which was the first bomber to break Mach II, first to have stellar-inertial nav and first to have a stainless steel honeycomb structure, and the B-36J was really unique with 6 pusher engines plus turbojets - the largest bomber ever built, plus many more items.

This is a gem of a museum and worth the drive to Ashland. The rotating exhibits are a draw, such…read moreas the recent Star Wars fun, but the standing exhibits are worth the visit on their own. We've been here several times over the years and the museum never always looks well maintained and current. Love that Nebraska's astronaut is the current CEO of the museum!
