OZ Museum

Fun roadside type attraction (in town). Good historical content from the various movies and you can sit and watch the entire movie in their movie theater if you have the time. Gift shop is cute and even has a wind tunnel to experience tornado winds. A bit expensive for a whole family to visit but worth the stop for a one time visit.

It was so cool! I recommend you visit this if you get the chance! It's a little quick but if you go through and read everything you can stretch it out to an hour. They also have the movie playing 24/7!

This place was super cute. We were in the area and decided to stop by. The employees were very nice and helpful. The museum was a little short for my preference but full of fun facts and things to see. We had a great time and enjoyed everything.

This museum is adorable! It is on the smaller side but if you go slow and read through everything you can stretch it out to about 45 minutes to an hour. I loved the full figure statues of the Lion, TinMan, etc. I also liked the first video that explains the whole backstory of the book and more information on the actors and movie itself. The end of the museum has a small theater that is playing the movie on repeat. I got a cute magnet from the giftshop and the lady working the counter was very nice. Note it is a small town so it's not a big museum such as some of the more notable and fancy ones that you may go to in Kansas City. With that in mind I still had a wonderful time and it was worth the 2 hour drive.

Very impressive museum. We drove north from Tulsa, Oklahoma for my wife's birthday and she was thrilled beyond believe. We are both huge fans of the books and movie, which they showcase both well. Besides the museum the town of Wamego is very cute. Definitely worth the trip.

The Oz museum is truly a gem! It is well designed and I was impressed with all the collectibles, character recreations, and informative videos, plus a small theater playing the film. I enjoyed learning some behind the scenes trivia, especially regarding how the movie special effects were made back in 1938. The staff is friendly and informative and the gift shop has some cool stuff! This was a 40 min drive from Topeka and totally worth it! There’s even a yellow brick road across the street that leads to a lovely little restaurant, and the Oz winery (another 5star review!) just down the street. Spend a day immersing yourself in the magic of the Wizard of Oz!

If you're in Wamego, KS, and have the time to peruse the many authentic movie memorabilia of the original film, the OZ Museum is a must see. Staff was very polite and the museum was very clean and well kept. My 10 year old, who had never seen the original film, was really drawn in as she watched the film in the theater (which plays the full movie on a loop) that she wanted to go back through the memorabilia afterwards. Don't skip out on a short stroll down the Yellow Brick Road across the street from the museum...and maybe have lunch at the cute little Cafe at the end!

This was a fantastic little pit stop on our Kansas road trip. This museum was mentioned in a fiction book I'd just read, "The Atlas of Untold Stories" and that (along with another work of fiction, on the life of Baum) made this museum somewhat of a fun connection. Our family enjoyed our time here so much. It was very busy when we arrived. We had to wait a bit to pay for entry tickets, and the workers seemed a bit flustered, and perhaps even came across as unfriendly... but we were understanding of the situation. Highly recommend also walking around downtown Wamego, it's very cute
