Being from the Midwest, I have never seen anything quite like the Gum Wall, and I might be okay with that. Very fun to look at, but I can't imagine trying to walk through here with a young kid. Disgusting and fascinating on a lot of levels.

This place is as disgusting as it is amazing. I wonder how it started?? Worth a visit for sure. Don't forget to bring your own gum!

I expected the Gum Wall to be gross, but it was clean and not smelly. I loved adding my gum to this famous wall.

They scrapped all the gum off a couple years ago, but don't let that stop you. It is filled back up!! Go to the main sign with the clock. And to the left is an alley way that you go down and the Gum Wall is to the left.
