Eyegore's Curiosities and Monster Museum — Attraction in Cawker City

Okay. This place is SO COOL and definitely one of the highlights of our recent roadtrip, and getting to check this place out was a total accident! We had went to Cawker City to see the ball of twine, and happened to see the sign for this shop down the block. We were intrigued and had to check it out! We get to the door, see it's closed, and we were pretty bummed. But then...the owner himself happened to be outside, spotted us by the door, and opened it up to let us come in and look around, which, I swear...only in Kansas. They are all just the nicest people! Anyway....this shop is packed to the brim with tons of interesting and unique items, and all of the items have a story, which the owner is happy to tell! The owner was just so nice! Very friendly, funny and personable. If you're ever in the Cawker City area, I highly recommend checking...

We love the totally random events in our travels. We simply meandered into Cawker, KS because we hate interstate highways. Lo and Behold! The world's biggest ball of twine! So we stopped and checked it out. Walking back to our car, the owner of Eyegore's Odditorium, who was sprucing up the exterior of his business, gave us a friendly salutation. He was such a nice fellow, giving us all kinds of cool recommendations for sights to see in that area, which we heeded and thoroughly enjoyed the remainder of the setting sun hours that evening. His biz was closed for the day, and we were travelin' on for the West Coast, but I swore I'd write him a good review, because I'm a weirdo at heart. I believe the other weirdos out there reading this would enjoy checking out Eyegore's Odditorium, and chatting with it's very jovial...

We had such a fun time here! There is no admission fee to check out their amazing collections of oddities! Of course they have some cool Wizard of Oz themed items, but also Harry Potter, superhero, and old school monster paraphernalia. Be sure to check out the baby rattlers they keep in a barrel; just remember that baby snakes are often more poisonous than full-grown snakes. We were fortunate enough to see Wonder Woman’s invisible plane that he had outside! The owner was very informative and even suggested other places to check out during our trip. Side note: try the blackberry and cream soda in the glass bottles!! You won’t regret it!! I would definitely stop...
