Bigfoot Discovery Museum

Peepaw always said “I’ve seen me the Bigfoot! He’s real!” We all thought he was freaking NUTS. On our trip to California he made us stop here, it was a tremendous place, there was Bigfoot stuff everywhere, Peepaw looked at us “I told you so.” He said, with THAT look, you know what I mean. Bigfoot then walked in and CONSUMED Meemaw WHOLE, HOLY BISCUTS! He said it was a prank though and we all laughed.Rip Grandma lol. 10/10 visit for all families, you will leave changed and fulfilled and maybe smooching in the porta potty with Bigfoot, like what happened to Auntie Jillian.

See a video of Bigfoot, a map of sightings, plaster casts of footprints, Bigfoot related kitsch and go home with a t-shirt and sticker. Go while this little museum is still in operation!

This is one of the greatest Bigfoot museums I have every visited, and I have visited a fair number of Bigfoot museums. Mike Rugg is a legend, of course, and his collection of tracks, documentation, and examples of Sasquatch in popular culture is downright amazing! I hope I can come again some day.

I’m sad to say that this was an absolute disappointment and waste of time. I was looking forward to visiting and experiencing an off the beaten path tourist attraction that was highly recommended on instagram and online. I’m glad this experience was free and donation only because I would be upset if I had paid for tickets in advanced and showed up to the museum. The shack style museum looks very cute and inviting when you pull up. The parking lot is small, but there were not many cars when we pulled up so this wasn’t an issue for our family. When we stepped foot into the museum we were met with an ungodly amount of heat despite the 65 degree weather outside. It was difficult to breathe and our family had to immediately ditch our sweatshirts. It was also too crammed inside. It is a claustrophobics nightmare with a narrow hallway that snakes into a slightly wider room. The main artifacts on display included bigfoot/yeti pop media and toys. It was momentarily nostalgic to see the collection but not what we were expecting. The museum was dusty and the items on display had a lot of water/sun damage making it difficult to read or see what things were. When we turned the corner we did not notice the man sitting behind the counter until he interjected about a donation jar on a table recommending we donate to help further his research offering up that some people put in $2, $5, or even more per person. Disappointed and embarrassed we decided to leave.

I finally decided to visit with my two grandkids today. My 4 year old one is very much interested as we drive by all the time. It’s a place with history . My grandkids and I greeted the owner and then …… no reply or at least a Hi. No ‘can I help you’ . Instead he said : there is a jar for tips and I hope you put something in! Wow I was in disbelief . Had that owner at least have said Hi or a hint of friendliness I would have been more at ease. I bought two stickers and put money in the jar . No thank you from his part. I’m all for supporting local businesses and do so all the time but I can not support rudeness . It was a sad visit today .

Have you been to the Big Foot Museum in Felton? You are in for a treat! 👣 #felton #santacruzmountains #bigfoot #familyactivities

This is one of the most iconic Bigfoot museums in the state! It’s full of artifacts, evidence and memorabilia. The curator is so fun to talk to. He has years of experience and knowledge. This place almost closed due to the pandemic but thanks to A go fund me account and a large group of Bigfoot believers they raised money to keep this place open. I highly suggest visiting when you are in Felton.

We had missed the store hours our way through the first time but we came on our way back and managed to tour inside. So glad we did because the owner was a wonderful host to our questions and told us some really cool local stories! Definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area to see this great hidden treasure.
