Venice Beach Freakshow

This is a little cheesy in a good way. Only a $5 admission. This is a true freak show, folks. A little bizarre to be seeing something like this in this day and age but it was definitely an experience.

You can staple a dollar to the hobo from Scotland that performs, and take a picture with their "wolf man" for a tip. There 5 legged dog is alive and actually quite cute. Great way to kill some time, go with rowdy people and you'll have a blast.

This place was amazing. I have never seen so many weird animals in my life. If you are in California, don't miss it! I also saw a man swallow four swords at once! My kids enjoyed the two-headed turtle and the two-faced cat. It only cost three dollars to go in.

This is an awesome little place on the boardwalk. For 3 bucks you can go into this "nook of curiosity" and look at what seems to be hundreds of odd little things, like two headed animals(of all types), taxidermied stuff, shrunken heads. It's just too cool!

When I was there they even had live performers out front!
