Definitely a place you HAVE to check out if your in or passing by Chemainus, really cool, interesting and vintage/old items that I guarantee you have not seen before. The staff are wonderful, friendly and informative people, they definitely know a lot about the items in the store.The absolute showstopper of this place is the VERY realistic looking Sasquatch taxidermy statue that is on display! The attention to detail and the sheer size and frightening look of this creature is astonishing. I would faint in fear if he was placed in the woods and I walked unsuspectingly on it! So much work has been put into collecting and filling the store with its weird, quirky and awesome items!Just head there for yourself and experience the awesomeness of this place!

A genuine odd-bottle! A museum of the strange! Free entertainment with every purchase!

Very fun shop. Good selection of vintage/antique toys, war memorabilia, and curiosity’s from around the globe. Also featuring a smaller selection of contemporary artists works. And last but not least, a massive Bigfoot!!!

It's a store and museum all in one!!! It's jam packed with exotic treasures and memories from my childhood. Definitely worth a day trip to Chemainus for photos ops with the giant Sasquatch alone! But do give yourself time; as I'm sure hours could be spent inside, and gems will still remain undiscovered when you leave.There's something for everyone!!!!!

Fantastic selection of objects and artifacts hand-picked from all over the world by the entertaining and eccentric owner. Definitely worth a visit.
