Over the summer, Stacy asked if I've been to the Bobblehead museum. I told her I have not and it's on my bucket list. She said we could probably do it cookie baking weekend since her son was asking to go again. I'm always game for an adventure.
The Bobblehead Museum is located on South First Street in Milwaukee above a coffee shop. Parking is street parking. There is an elevator to get to the museum. Admission is $5/person and kids under 5 are free. It is open 7 days a week 10-6 weekdays and 10-5 weekends.
There are thousands of bobbleheads in the museum. They are categorized by sport and other genres. The only problem is you can't touch them. I get it but then they should behind glass so little hands don't touch them.
It is not a big museum but it packs a lot of bobbleheads into the space they have. Each bookcase is at least six shelves full of bobbleheads.
I didn't realize how many bobbleheads there are in from pop culture to presidents to sports. I like the Wheel of Fortune one among others.
There are life size bobbleheads scattered throughout the museum.
There a bobbleheads on the window sills. Making good use of the space.
I forgot that Pat McCurdy developed the theme song for the Bobblehead Museum. He has his own Bobblehead.
To keep kids of all ages occupied, there have several activities. They have 2 scavenger hunts -- The A-Z one that Stacy did last time and the random bobblehead scavenger hunt. We did the random one. It was pretty easy to find all the answers if you know where to look.
The other activity is to find Waldo. They have a Waldo bobblehead hidden somewhere in the museum and if you find him you get a prize. With a hint, we found him. They do move Waldo twice a month so repeat visitors have to keep finding him.
It is definitely worth the $5. The collection is huge and I even found one that we have in our collection. This is a great place to check out if you are looking for a rainy day activity or something to do before a Brewer game.
