The Bunny Museum

I'm sorry I missed going in - I'm hopeful that it truly is 'Temporarily' closed - I saw the destruction first-hand yesterday and was truly saddened. I heard you got all of the bunnies out - Thank you for your efforts. Altadena Strong! I pray blessings on you and your workers - May God shine His face upon you and richly bless you.

Words cannot truly express how much I love the bunny museum. It is so cool and I could easily spend all day in it. The owners are very nice and I got to have a lovely talk with them about the museum and rabbits in general. I wish I lived closer so I could have a membership!

Had an amazing time. Well worth the $12 in my opinion. If you like seeing big collections of things, this is a super cute spot with lots to take in. I bought a hat and I’d like to go back at least once.

This place was super cute and had a lot to look at & read. I love learning little weird or interesting facts about history. They had a cute room outside you could sit and take in the scenery. Plus, they have live bunnies and cats there which is always a huge plus. I didn’t expect much going in but I got a lot out of it.

This is a great place. Initially, I was skeptical because of the name. However, The Bunny Museum really does have literally tens of thousands of rabbit items. I paid them a visit the first time yesterday. I ended up spending two hours there because I had nothing else to do all day. They have a non-fiction movie you can watch about bunnies. They have statues, stuffed plushies, books, puzzles, cartoon characters, taxidermied, and even food items featuring rabbits! There's a little patio area, too. Overall, I found the collection to be very impressive and well organized. I'd come back!

I stopped by the Bunny Museum recently for the first time. They were surprised I hadn't heard of the place since it'd been open for decades but from what I just read, it was in a private house until a few years ago. The inflatable white bunnies on the roof are the real eyecatchers and very pretty. The collectables on display are varied and intense in their amazing quantity. It's impossible to take it all in and likely to even find all of the rooms and hallways that have items displayed in the odd space. It needs a labeled map to really understand any of the layout. If they had a map, I didn't know about it and I didn't think to ask. I was excited to meet their house bunnies and kitties in their warren room. I LOVE that the bunnies (and kitties) are free roam in a large space that has some areas to avoid eager petting if scared. I checked out the place because I heard all the buns were rescued and given a lot of space, which is true. But that's where I needed to take a couple of stars off of my review. One of the black bunnies, apparently a recent humane society adoption, looks like it needs a vet appointment to look at its neck area. It was very shy but had a lot of matted fur under it's chin area which makes me worried there's a tooth abscess, mouth issue, or something else. It was a shy sweetheart and wouldn't let me get close enough to really get a better idea how it got the matted neck fur. I highly recommend a vet visit ASAP to rule out any major issues. I couldn't find any timothy or other hay in their large space. I did see Oxbow rabbit pellets and some veggie remnants scattered around on the somewhat dirty floors. It makes me wonder if the one black bunny has overgrown teeth issues since I didn't see chew toys (aside from the destroyed baseboards lol) and hay fibers to wear them down well. The brown and white bunny was a cutie and flopped over in front of me at one point so clearly loves the place. He could use a nail trim soon. I heard he had gotten lonely as a single bun (what happened to all of their previous buns mentioned in the reviews?) so they adopted the two black fur bun sisters. But it didn't sound like there was proper bonding for the three of them so now the two sisters fight (maybe that's how the neck matted fur happened? Just another idea). I didn't see any of the three buns hanging out together at all so I wonder if they're not actually bonded well at all and could really benefit from structured sessions for a while. The three kitties are adorable. The black and grey ones are sweet and love pets. I saw their 24 year old bangled kitty sleeping soundly in the kitchenette room on the opposite side of the place. One of the kitties (I think it was the black one named Baby) might have had a goopy eye issue on one side and could probably use a vet visit for a checkup and possible meds. I saw a couple of odd religious books in the outdoor patio area (through the kitchen area) so googled the one I saw the owner's photo on. Looks like it's part of some christian sect called Swedenborgianism after some religious/mystic guy from a few hundred years ago. I'm not big on religion and I assumed someone with that much easter stuff would be somewhat religious. I tried not to look too deep into it. The place is a LOT to take in and you have to not be triggered by semi-organized OCD hording to see clearly with all that is on display. I think a layout and large collections labels (the tiny script bunny notes were hard for me to see) might help for folks easily overwhelmed. I'm really hoping they'll get a ton of timothy or orchard hay for their buns in their large warren room soon. No bunny should be without unlimited hay for health reasons if it really is absent as it seemed. I hope the black bun can have a checkup and grooming, the brown bun a nail trim, and the black kitty (I think it was that one but not positive) could have their eye looked at. I get their pets are their own but since bunny and pet lovers will flock there and interact with their floofs, they need to do their best for them.

What a wonderful place! It is impossible to take in all the detail of the collection in one visit, and we will be back again. Candace and Steve are people of extraordinary vision, determination, and creativity, and they have curated a stunning collection that is thoughtfully organized. Take your time and read the bunny-shaped placards, I guarantee you will learn a lot! The Bunny Museum is a rare jewel!

What a magical, hidden gem! 💎 I am surprised I didn't know of its existence before. It has some of the most interesting rabbit memorabilia I have ever seen. The place is clean and well-managed. You need to show proof of vaccination upon entry. My toddler spent over 2 hours exploring this place. Will definitely come back again!
