Tom Devlin Monster Museum Review!

 

I am a big fan of horror movies, so when I found out we would be driving past where the Tom Devlin Monster Museum is in Boulder City, Nevada I knew I had to add it to our itinerary. When we were on our way back home from Las Vegas, we stopped into the monster museum to check it out. We were lucky when we arrived because we were able to be the only group visiting, it wasn't until the end of our stop that more people started to come into the museum. As soon as you arrive, you'll find a decorated hearse, the mystery machine & the Ecomobile along with spooky decor. 

Upon enter into the museum you will be in the gift shop which features a lot of awesome goodies to purchase including autographs from various celebrities & there is also a small arcade with horror themed games. Entrance into the museum is $20 per person & $10 per child. There are a lot of cool & awesome photo opportunities throughout the museum with a wide variety of your favorite horror characters. 

The museum is packed with a wide range of horror themed figures, props and more. Some of the work is by Tom Devlin himself & the rest is all from various special effects artists and movies. For the size of the building, I was actually surprised how much was packed into the self-guided tour. If you take your time to look at everything, read the information plaques and snap photos you'll be in the museum for an hour maybe a little longer. The lighting makes it a little dark & spooky which fits in with the atmosphere of the museum itself, I feel like regular lighting would ruin the whole thing. 

At the end of the museum is a theatre that will be showing different documentaries, or short films. When we were there, they were showing a video on two chairs that they built. One was for Alice Cooper & one was for Corey Taylor/Slipknot which we enjoyed watching because we are a fan of both. The seats were pretty comfortable, and it was a nice spot to escape the heat outside. They did a great job with the various displayed and even themed rooms, for example one of the rooms had a ton of different Jason figures and a spooky haunted woods feel. 

They had a lot of our favorite horror movie characters & it was fun learning about some new movies we've never seen as well. For us this was a fantastic spot to stop, we loved everything they had to offer. The gift shop has a lot of cool collectables as well from figures, to pins and even clothing. The bathroom was kind of neat too, the door is built to look like a coffin lid & the inside of the bathroom has a Shining theme. There are no jump scares in the museum & none of the figures move around so if you aren't a fan of being scared, no need to worry. 

🎲 I will be sharing some other family friendly spots around Las Vegas including other FREE things to do, so if you want to check them out keep an eye out for more posts or type in "Things to do in Las Vegas" in the search bar of my blog. I also have posts on some great places to check out in California & Arizona.
