Went to The Mystic Museum on our trip to so-cal. We unfortunately came on a hot day so the store was kind of hot. The exhibit they had there was pretty cool and the AC worked better in that area. They had a large selection of horror goodies. However, check out was terrible. It took forever, some of the people behind us actually left because they were tired of waiting. The price of the items were somewhat average.

I love stopping at this place every time I'm in Burbank. It's a museum and a shop all in one, they sell lots of different little oddities and horror movie memorabilia. It's fits in well with the little horror theme that Burbank has going on. Even if you don't decide to pay admission and view the museum yourself the shop is fun to walk around and check out. There's lots of photo ops in there as well There's lots of street parking and it's usually free. It's also located near a neighborhood and there is some parking as well.

The Mystic Museum has been our radar for a long time! Wifey and I frequently go to Burbank, so whenever we passed it by we've always been curious about it. We finally felt adventurous and made a beeline straight to the museum! Located in Burbank's Horror Row, there's plenty of street parking all around so don't fret if you can't find a spot directly in front. The Mystic Museum looks deceptively small on the outside, but inside it's surprisingly large! They have all things horror and odd on display, with plenty of merch and goodies to buy if you want a souvenir. They also have some photo ops inside, but most of them are in the paid exhibit section in the back. They periodically change up their exhibits, so it's worth keeping an eye on what's current and coming back. We went during their Total Grotesque Live exhibit, a tribute to horror movies ala Total Request Live (back when MTV showed music videos, for those too young to have enjoyed growing up in the 90s/early 2000s). The exhibits are not timed, so you can take your time and fill your guts with as many photos/videos as you want! Some displays are interactive if you pay a little more for the key to activate them. Overall, The Mystic Museum is plenty of fun if you're into horror and want to satiate your goth urges. Even if you don't pay for the exhibits, there's still plenty to see. The employees are friendly and will lock your bags for you if you go to the exhibits. The price of some of the items for sale can be hella expensive, but it all depends on what catches your eye. If you've never been here before, make it a point to go! Life's too short to always be wondering and never knowing!

Every time I come to magnolia Park I have to stop by mystic museum. It is a cool place to see oddities. They have really cool merch. You can also purchase crystals, candles, cards, stickers, etc. And the workers there are always very nice.

Tarot Card Reading

This is a different spot to cost in Burbank. It is building with 3 separate areas with different things in each one. One has movie items and postings. One has scary doctor and scientist items. And the last is a museum with a tarot card reading spot. Behind these are a museum. We only got a couple of pins and some old spooky records. It is worth a visit if you like Halloween and spooky stuff.

I saw it was horror themed from outside and immediately walked in to check it out. They have something ticketed related but we were on a time crunch so didn't get to explore more than just the store part. Next time I would like to see what the ticket experience gets you.

I've heard about this place forever and I finally stopped in. There is so much to discover in the shop! This would be a great place to buy a gift for the horror fans in your life. I also got the chance to check out the museum and it was such a unique experience. I loved all of the photo ops and how interactive the displays are. If you pay an additional amount, you can get a key that actually activates some of the displays which is cool! The museum is not super big, so you can really take as long or as little time as you want going through it. The person who was at the shop on the day I went was super friendly and answered all of my questions happily. I would recommend checking out the Mystic Museum if you are in the Magnolia Park area! It would even be a fun place for a date.

I've been coming here for years. The items they have here are fun to look at The staff is soooooo friendly even when u call for questions. The value varies. However I come for the exhibits which are $20 I love the decor inside and outside the store

Total Grotesque Live exhibit

We checked out the new exhibit Total Grotesque Live (grand opening this past weekend). You enter the museum store, buy tickets at the register, and the exhibit entrance is located at the back of the shop (the worker monitors entry one party at a time). Staff provided great service, swiftly helping us with our transaction, and explaining the rules and how things work. Coming on a Monday, it wasn't crowded or uncomfortable, so we got to fully enjoy our experience here, especially since the sets in the museum were made with quality decor and props. With ten interactive horror scenes, it was worth the extra eight bucks to get the plastic knife that allowed us to stab certain points of the exhibits to activate sound and visual effects, a bit of animatronics too. My fave was the Conjuring set filled with haunted objects and the creepy Nun painting with its evil eyes. This particular display had multiple activations, one which made the Annabelle doll temporarily disappear from the case in the haunted room. Loved the iconic music of classic horror flicks adding to the vibe and excitement, like the Michael Myers Halloween theme song. We ended in the seance parlor filled with ouija boards, fortune teller machines, and more (I believe this is a temporary exhibition as well, but l'm not totally sure). That's what's cool about this place, they change up the immersive exhibits and hold fun little events occasionally, so you can return time and time again to experience something new. Note, no bags/purses are allowed in the museum but they can hold it for you at the store's ticket counter for free. I wouldn't say this place offers the best value for admission since you can get through all of the exhibits fairly quickly and it's not as entertaining if you're not into selfies or IG. We still enjoyed our time here though.

Attraction in museum

Maybe the advertising hyped it up much more than it really is. We did have a great time and the guys working were terrific. They do need to get a pressed penny machine.

Store front
Connie H.

My friend recommended we stop in here before heading to lunch. The place is very nerdy horror fan paradise. The store front has plenty of cool macabre merchandise, much of it vintage. The staff could not be nicer- great to chat with. Lots of people were visiting when we were. So, it does never busy. We bought tickets to the museum and were VIP escorted to the back and through a secret entrance. Our tour began with spine tingling anticipation. I half expected things to jump out at us, but this was happily a unique experience. To quote: You're traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. Your next stop, the Twilight Zone!" The mazes do indeed present a ton of trivia and activities. We enjoyed not only the experience, but the amount of painstaking work to create a very fun experience for horror movie fans. If you're in Burbank and this is your jam, you need to stop in. I have passed this place so many times and am sorry I didn't have time to drop in before. It's worth the time. I am only posting a few pics, so as not to soil the fun of discovering it yourself. This is the perfect place to get into the Halloween spirit!

Part of their exhibit when we went for my birthday!!
Karla C.

one of my favorite places to visit or shop for some awesome gifts to give to friends. Definitely recommend to check out especially to see what themes they have for the museum part!!

Critic C.

i LOVE this place so so much. this is like the perfect place for oddities and gifts. it's also just a cool vibe to walk around. i wish so desperately they would do movie nights of old horror flicks. even if it's just folding chairs and a little projector. that would be a dream.

Neat place! Silly, but fun. It seems like a lot of people dress up to visit, which is super cute. Recommended for kids of all ages.

I recently had a baby shower for my sister at the Violet Cactus, and everything was so beautiful…read more The ambiance was amazing, and the amenities that come with the package definitely take all the extra stress away. Everyone was so professional and kind, and they didn't miss a single detail. Karen was there making sure everything was set up and running smoothly, and she was so professional and amazing. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone hosting a small or intimate event. The only downside to my experience was the balloon company I used from their preferred vendor list (Ravens Decor and More). I would say you definitely need to double check and even triple check to make sure Raven gets the balloon colors exactly right. Even though it was confirmed that she understood what I wanted, you can see the difference in the photos of what I requested and what I received. I told her I was hosting a classic Winnie the Pooh baby shower for my sister and wanted neutral colors (beige, sage, and blush) for a baby girl. After our phone call, she sent me an AI-generated mockup using those colors I asked for. I absolutely loved it, so I paid the $100 deposit and booked her services ($290 total). On the day of the shower, I was shocked and blindsided because the balloon colors looked nothing like the mockup or what I had requested. I understand an AI mockup won't be identical to the final product, but the difference was far greater than expected. I had also purchased balloons for the welcome sign in the same colors as the mockup, and the contrast between those and the balloon arch was obvious.Since guests were going to be arriving soon, I had no choice but to accept it and move on. My family and I believe strongly in respecting customer service and tipping, so I still gave her a 20% tip. My only regret was tipping that much instead of simply paying the remaining balance of $190 after she finished. I booked her based on the mockup she provided, but the final balloon colors were completely different. The colors were so different that they took away from the soft, neutral look I was trying to achieve for the shower. Overall, the baby shower was wonderful, and my sister had a great time. My only disappointment was that the balloon colors were so different from what I had specifically requested.

The absolute WORST venue tour experience I have ever had. From the moment we arrived, the entire…read moreinteraction felt extremely uncomfortable and unwelcoming. The way we were spoken to, the tone that was used, and the overall treatment left a very bad impression. Honestly, it felt like we were being judged based on our appearance and, quite frankly, I couldn't help but feel that there was discrimination based on the color of our skin. To call this a "tour" is honestly a joke. The woman barely showed us anything. Instead, she basically told us to walk around and look for ourselves because she had an event coming up. We were rushed through the entire experience, and it was made very clear that our presence was an inconvenience. What made the experience even more insulting was the assumption that I couldn't afford to rent the venue. I was offered cheaper options that I DID NOT ask for, and those options didn't even accommodate the number of guests I clearly stated I would have. I never asked for the cheapest package, nor did I ask how I could save money. The assumption was unnecessary, disrespectful, and completely unprofessional. If you're going to offer a venue to the public, you should treat EVERY potential client with the same level of respect, regardless of what they look like or what you assume their budget is. I came prepared to consider spending money at this facility, and instead I left feeling judged, rushed, and disrespected. Needless to say, after this experience, I would NEVER consider hosting my event here. First impressions matter, and this one was absolutely terrible.
