Need ANYTHING with "Seattle" printed on it? Come here. As far as I am concerned, this is the only place to buy souveniers in Seattle! The store is so huge and full of the weirdest and best stuff imaginable. If you want souvenier t-shirts, mugs, commemorative plates, shot glasses, jump ropes, etc., this place will probably have it. Plus it's located right along the water of Elliott Bat, which is so nice - a great walk on a sunny day!

They have a mummy This place is great shopping loads of old antiques and ancient arcade games. All manners of crafty do dads and nic nacks. This place is great for something different and the it is located on the waterfront so the view is free. The pier it is on also has the original Ivars (See review)

I love the things they are selling I would be shopping here on holidays. I love the things they are selling, most are rare products you can't simply find elsewhere.

unique store, to say the least This is a must see for any visiting guest to Seattle. Be sure to head to the back of the store to look at some oddities that might leave you fairly curious!

A tourist must If you have friends in town or just want to enjoy a stroll on the Pier, you must stop at the Olde Curiosity Shop. It has been around for years and a great place to find unique gifts and a taste of Seattle.

Think You've Seen It All?! Do you think you've seen it all?! Well, not yet until you've stopped by The Old Curiosity Shop down on Pier 54 in Seattle. The things you only think happen in fairytales, you'll see preserved in Giant Jars. Three headed pigs, shrunken heads, who wouldn't want to go peruse the shop?

This shop is a little kooky, but great! There are certain parts about this store that creep me out. The mummies, the wierd specimens in jars in the back corner, but overall this store is a Seattle must-see. They have everything from games, to toys, to Seattle souvineers, to sites that you would behold anyplace else. It's more of a museum than a shop in my book, but it is great fun - espeically when you take time to play in the shop.

A great place to browse If you haven't been, you have to go! This is the oddest store that you can wander for at least an hour in! It's not as much a place to buy anything as it is a place to browse. It's almost like it's own little museum of oddities. There is everything from shrunken heads, mummies, odd animals and folded dollars. It's down on the Seattle waterfront so parking may be tricky, but it's worth the drive!

Satisfies Curiosity! This shop located on the waterfront in downtown. It's a favorite place to take tourists because it's unlike any other store you've ever been into! Almost like a museum with the weird artifcats that they have on display. You really have to see it to believe it. It's the best place to buy anything Seattle related because prices are really reasonable and they have a wide selection.
