I’m sort of sad to see that this place closed, all being said I’m not a fan of pez at all but something about the dispenser itself brings back magical childhood memories. So being that this was a actual location based all on pez, the history of and everything pez it was quite a nostalgic place for me.

This was supposed to be stop #3 for Jim’s 38th birthday. Unfortunately, it no longer exists. I am envious of anyone who was able to go here, and think that whomever the owner was got out at the right time – back in 2008 people still had disposable income and I hope he or she made a pretty penny on their PEZ collection. CLOSED

I don’t collect PEZ dispensers, I don’t eat PEZ, but when my friend told me about the museum, I just had to check it out. It’s everything I could have hoped for and more. You walk into a tiny store, complete with a small counter, a few racks of PEZ dispensers and one sad teenage clerk manning the whole operation. The prices are reasonable(read: low). That’s important, because the museum offers free admission with any purchase. Bargain PEZ dispensers start at 89 cents, so you can gain admission to the museum for less than a dollar. That alone is the reason to go. Walk through a black plastic archway decorated with fake greenery, and you will see a ‘statue’ of Darth Vader to your left and a room full of PEZ dispensers. They’re arranged by theme(Disney PEZ, The Jackson Five PEZ, Simpsons PEZ, Star Wars PEZ, etc). Many have little colorful notes next to them, informing you of their value on the open market. Some of those pieces of plastic nonsense can bring you up to $ 3,000. That made me wish I had bought a few PEZ dispensers instead of and webvan stock back in the day. D’oh! It won’t take you more than 15 minutes to thoroughly study every exhibit, but the 15 minute time investment is oh, so worth it. It’s kitschy and ridiculous, absurd and hilarious. Think Graceland meets New Orleans Voodoo Museum(both places should be on your«1000 places to see before you die» list, by the way). You HAVE to see it for yourself!
