Darrel is the mascot of the mystery house. You can purchase t-shirts, buttons, and magnets featuring his glorious awesomeness!
The "Bassigator"
The courtyard w/ Bassigator
His tail end is that of a Bass. The way is blocked for photo taking.
The walkway is made from old roofing material that was laid out and glued together.
The building in the center is the "Hot Sauce House" (I got shots of the inside...through the window. Locked building to keep the hot sauce safe)
Where the alien greeter crashed.
Thelma, the 32 foot alligator.
If you count, you'll see that Thelma does indeed have 32 feet.
The disturbing
Bottlecap art (and it's everywhere - to include the bathroom shown) One bathroom is covered in shards of colorful
pottery. Very clean restrooms! (always a plus)
The ceiling
Art with Keys
Out of time
Cyberman and Analog Man
They waste nothing. Everything that can be recycled into art, is. All the animation ("interactive" displays were
handmade. I'll post a few of those later.

The museum gives out FREE anti-fracking bumperstickers.
Abita Springs used to draw thousands of people for its water. The source is still going strong and the town

There's a fortune teller's room. I have photos. You can sign your name on the walls.
It's ever evolving, they keep adding more displays.

(31,392 posts)I once had my palm read at a place in Studio City (San Fernando Valley). It turned out to be
quite eerily predictive of how many children I would have--(how do you have half a child?!? I thought at the time)--
when our daughter was stillborn at 22 1/2 weeks. Freaked me out when I remembered it.
Turns out my life line has a major interruption--around age 65--according to the palmist
and I am getting more than a little nervous since I turn 65 at my next birthday.

I love this place.
