A Seattle must see for visitors and families. Take the time to read and look closely. Buy a souvenir while you're here. Always stop in when I'm on the waterfront even though I've seen it all 100 times. Coolest shop you'll see
A store with some fun and random finds, nothing too crazy or extraordinary, but still nice.
This place is awesome. It has very well priced souvenirs if your from out of Seattle. They have small toys that are at a good price and are very fun to play with.
Fun and interesting. Great experience if you dont mind the crowd
Eclectic touristy shop with a penchant for the grotesque. Good for viewing spectacles or purchasing knick knacks.
If you looking something out of the ordinary for souvenirs, this is the place to go. They have lots of weird things like, rocks, coins, fun toys, postcards, and the list can go on. Plus on the pier and close to other attractions nearby. Went here for a quick shopping while waiting for our cruise line. I like how this place have some nice artifacts and something you can never find at regular shop. If you have time, check it out.
Cool place full of surprises. Look up and everywhere when in this shop. Lots of hidden gems.
A little pricey for their trinkets ..need more for kids prices ..but still very interesting
Quirky place. Bought a shrunken head for my daughter
Fun shop to look around. Lots of interesting stuff. Even though we are WA locals we walk through it almost everytime we visit Seattle.
Nice store with unique and interesting things to buy!!
definitely worth of walkthrough if you're visiting Seattle
Worth a trip to see the the shrunken head, but don't be fooled, this is one small interesting display case at the very BACK of a tourist trap gift shop. You have to swim through a sea of merchandise to see the heads. Not a good spot to take kids. It's flipped the museum and museum gift store paradigm around. All gift store with one art display.
James litt jr after 5378 almost 20 years away it's a still a great place to go
Been wandering here since I was a kid, proud to now watch my 9 year son wander with amusement here. Hope you guys never close. Seattle icon
Awesome place to visit
Love the shrunken heads
Kind of like Seattle's version of a Ripley's Believe it or not....fun place to bring out of town visitors.
Cool shop and museum. Great spot to pick up something unique for friends or family back home.
No tourist experience in Seattle would be complete without a quick tchotchke stopping stop here after a twirl on the Ferris wheel.
So many wierd and wonderful things to look at. Much more than your average souvenir shop.
I can spend hours here! An iconic must-see for Seattle
I found it crowded and overpriced. It did have some interesting nick nacks but I don't think I'd buy anything there.
This is a Seattle staple and I love it. Houses very unique gifts and toys as well as pieces worthy of a museum.
Fun little shop that's reasonably priced, especially for being in a popular tourist spot.
The essential souvenir shop. It's got hundreds of little knick-knacks and you'll be sure to find something interesting. They've also got a little fudge shop in back too. Definitely plan to stop here if you're in the area.
Too fun! Never gets old! Go again and again whenever you can. Especially off season and during the week. Staff is super nice.
They always have such interesting things. I love stopping in to see Sylvester and Sylvia.
If you're showing a friend from out of town the Seattle waterfront you don't want to miss the Curiosity Shop. It has authentic North Coast tribal art for sale. It also has authentic whale penises on display and authentic mummified dead people.
Lots of old and odd ball types of things to look at. Fun for kids and adults.
As we were walking around Seattle and the bay we stumbled upon this shop at the end of the pier. What a pleasant surprise it was! This shop is so weird and confusing yet also so interesting. If you have dreamed of something it then it's probably in this shop. When we were checking out (we bought a small cup and a magnet) the cashier turned out to be the manager, he was kind enough to explain the thought behind the store and was very pleasing. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area. Please note that their is no food in the shop.
Saw everything from a Pharoah mask to shrunken head to ivory carvings. Also the hand made fudge is delicious!
Very different and very cool. Plus- they have fudge
A toast to your coffin. May it be mad of a fine, old oak of a hundred years . . . Planted today! Checkout this place at least once if your curious. Worth my time in spades.
Can't put it any other way, but... I must see if you're on the waterfront.
Tourist trinket shop masquerading as a museum. That being said, I recommend you visit because there are actually some worthwhile exhibits on display here, and there is something fun and interesting for almost everyone. We have visited multiple times and continue to go back and discover something new each time.
Caught in limbo between a convenience store and gift shop, this century old shop is a Pier 54 staple and is definitely a must for any souvenir seeker. It's not the biggest, but it will satisfy your deepest curiosities!
Do not miss. Part museum, part novelty, part really cool stuff.
Find a gift for anyone from your mom to your weird cousin! Seashells, jewelry, bugs encased in resin, real walrus and bone carvings, rocks, gator teeth, zippos, and so much more! Check out the world in miniature including rice grain scripture, a chain carved from a toothpick, and scenes in walnut shells! Don't forget to get a pressed penny in any of 10 different designs! One of the coolest stores EVER! Loved it!
They moved it from the food court at the Seattle Center when they had the Bubble Elavter. It was on the bottom floor. It,s good to see our past is still alive for people to see.
Eclectic collection of seattle memorabilia, shows the history of the city. Courteous staff
Odd & weird findings...nice tourist spot to wander in & out of
This is a fun place to peruse. Lots of cool things to see and buy.
These people have no shame when it comes to flaunting their liberal ideals. I know, this is a city known for it's liberalism, but being a tourist attraction I would've expected that they try to be more neutral. People from all over the world, including conservative middle America, would be coming through and may not appreciate it.
Fun shop. Full of cool stuff and Interesting things.
Behind the fudge counter you will find the grandson of the Shop's creator. Darn fine fudge.
Great place, has very cool stuff. Ceck out painting on a pin head or writing on a hair. There's stuffed fish, mammals...a mermaid.
Just a souvenoir shop. The oddities are not that easy to view in the crowd of tourists.
some very interesting things in here. fun exhibits and oddities to view
Fun place for gifts. Nothing you can't live without.
always bring visitors to the curiosity shop when we do our obligatory visit to pike's market and the waterfront
Classic tourist trap. Lots of fun stuff packed in this store. Interesting artifacts, real or not.
Great place for tourists trinkets . Love to see the curiosity's.
The items were cool but you could barley walk around even on a weekday
Enjoy browsing this place. I first visited about 50 years ago and met Sylvester. When in town, I still drop by to say hello
Everyone should stop here to experience a piece of history and the waterfront atmosphere
I have visited every time I go to Seattle and recommend it often.
The curiosities are fun to look at, and the little nick-knacks inside are great for when you are traveling and need small gifts for friends and family. The place was packed, and it was still fun to look around.
Wow, they have some crazy weird stuff here! And great fudge!
my grandson and I had a wonderful time in the shop the staff went above and beyond answering his questions about everything
More of oddities museum than a store but interesting all the same.
Love this shop. It's a must if your anywhere in Seattle.
Such a wonderful shop to spend some time in. I was amazed at what was on display.
One of the coolest shops in Seattle! A must see forsure!
Kind of a mishmash of curiosities (as one might expect from the name), with a few uniquely Pacific Northwest items like Tlingit/Haida/Tsimshian masks and carvings. Mostly a tourist trap and consistently crowded, you may not find anything worth buying but curio collectors and tourism completionists will still want to swing through and check things out.
A good spot for tourist trinkets. Good homemade fudge. Pick up a local map here. They have some unique items to take home to the loved ones who couldn't make the trip.
Weird and wonderful. A bit hard to walk around with the crowd inside.
This is a very fun shop with lots of odd and interesting treasures. Always have to visit when I am at the waterfront with my kids.
This place is always a site to see. If this is your first or hundredth time there. Ye Olde Curiosity Shop is just full of very bizarre things. You can shop there too.
What a crazy, awesome and wacky blast of the the past while selling all of the proper trinkets, souvenirs and doodads of today.
Fun place to loose yourself at. They have some cool stuff here.
Ye Olde Curiosity Shop has been a regular stop on my visits to the waterfront since my father brought me here as a child. I now regularly bring friends and loved ones to experience the unique shop.
Bring quarters there are so many fun interactive experiences to be had for just a quarter. Take your time as every visit you will discover something you've never noticed before.
Soooooo coooool! What a wonderful store!
The staff are great and friendly, they're just as amazing as the products that are available to buy.
I wish I could buy it all, some amazing things that made me giggle.
Was able to have a laugh with the cashier too!
So many things to look at and at affordable prices! It's fun just to look at everything they have on display!
Interesting place with a unique selection of souvenirs and collectibles. Awesome staff, very accommodating and welcoming.
All the cool stuff just isn't for sale. The stuff that is is pretty touristy. Still cool to see the human and animal remains.
The fudge is to die for! Super good! Large selection and unusual variety of souvenirs!
A must see for tourist. We just loved all of the quirky stuff they had.
A great classic to the Seattle board walk on the waterfront. One of my favorite places to go!
