I thought the store was very cool and unique. There were so many things in there that you never see in other stores. Most things were reasonably priced. They had a wide variety of items. The only thing I didn’t like was how small the store was and it was crowded so it made it hard to be able to take time to thoroughly look at things and the fact that a few items were placed in the aisle way so it felt like every step you took you might knock something over. Other than that it was awesome

One of my absolute favorite stores in the Cleveland area, I love to take people from out of town here! Always a cool and rotating selection and the owners are super friendly and knowledgeable. I come here as often as my wallet allows lol

Cleveland Curiosties is an interesting store. The selection of occult books and paraphernalia is fantastic. I personally thought their selection of wet specimens was rather lacking and accounting for their rather restricted space makes them a 3 star experience for me.

Fascinating inventory thats always fresh and changing. Friendly owners and staff. If youre in the area, you MUST stop in! If youre not, plan a trip! Plenty of other awesome shops and food in the area to make it worth a drive!

Five stars is not enough. As an animal lover I was hesitant to go in, but all concerns were put to rest. I cannot explain how helpful and welcoming the staff was. Definitely recommend this place!

My boyfriend checked out Cleveland Curiosities a couple weeks ago (a friend of a friend told him about it), and instantly absolutely adored the entire shop! And today he brought me to the shop, and if was equally enchanted! The shop owners are extremely and genuinely personable, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic about their inventory. My boyfriend bought me and himself 2 of their über comfy and gorgeous custom made pullovers hoodies, as well as some pins and patches. I know that we will definitely come back again and again!

I went on a shopping trip with a friend about a month ago, and this place was absolutely the coolest stop of the day. So many weird and interesting finds here, definitely a must go if you’re a fan or the strange or unusual.

The owners are awesome. They have curated a remarkable collection of fantastic items to browse and buy. Place is cozy but the vibe is creepy cool and the variety of items they have for sale is incredible! Definitely must pop in even just to look around if in town!

Such a cool unique place of oddities and curiousities. I wish I could afford the bizarre things, but I settled for a vintage circus puzzle.

Review №13

Super fun place to check out! A lot of strange little creepy things. It is a little pricey on the bigger more rare things I understand but the little trinkets I feel they could be a little less. Still worth stepping in and checking out if you arent squeemish!!!

I came in recently to get a Christmas gift for a taxidermy fan and was uncertain of what to pick. The owners were super friendly, accommodating, and helped me find the perfect gift. This place is great if you love all things spooky or are just a fan of taxidermy. Excellent choices and the prices are all reasonable. Im looking forward to my next trip out here to shop for myself. Shop small!

Husband and Wife ran business. They are so nice and they have really cool stuff. Things that would be very hard to find just anywhere. Antiques are very fair priced. Will definitely be back and purchasing from them again.

This is why I both love the city of Cleveland and the amazing people who make up its citizens. This shop is everything you didn’t know you needed and then some.

Strange, unusual, sick, twisted, taxidermy, whats your pleasure? Should be able to find something disturbing here to make your normals friends feel weird when you show them what you found at this great little shop. Shop smart, shop S-Mart, or shop the small shops!

Cleveland Curiosities is by far my favorite place to shop around at, and I definitely recommend checking them out if youre into the creepy and spooky. They sell a large variety of products, including animal and human skulls/bones, taxidermy, wet specimens, pinned insects and antique medical equipment to name just a few categories. They also so have less expensive items like candles, perfumes, small animal skulls, acrylic specimens, plushies, artwork, pins, and merch if youre a goth on a budget.

This place hands down is one of a kind. Honestly, the nicest, displayed oddity shop Ive been to. You can find something for almost any strange curiosity! The owner and staff was very pleasant and knowledgeable. Bring your kids, they will love it.

Review №43

Wow. Just wow. You have to see this place for yourself. Imagine the attic of that old aunt who was so much fun yet kept a mystic swirl of darkness in her existence and you will have an idea of this shop. With everything from medical equipment to wind-up toy monkeys to spirit boards, you will find the coolest thing here you never knew you needed, and you will leave with a smile on your face. Just go see it!

Review №51

Absolutely stunning selection of ephemera. So interesting, its hard to believe that a place like this exists in real life.I love that it has a few curiosities that are not for sale. Because they are essentially priceless, impossible to replace. There are few places anywhere who can say that about their displays.

Expect to pay a little more than you originally thought you would since there are so many amazing things in there! The prices are definitely worth the products. They have a great assortment of curios, skulls, skeletons, coffins, even medical instruments. I also enjoyed their selection of serial killer related merchandise and collectible horror pins.

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff! They were absolutely wonderful in helping me exchange a book that had a misprint- the shop owners even held the good copy of a book I’d purchased for THREE MONTHS for me until I moved up to Cleveland. Shop is constantly rotating in cool items. I try to take my visiting friends here because it is just so unique

Visited today and this store is so unique. The gentleman that was working when I arrived was super knowledgeable and helpful. I’m kind of a newbie into the world of taxidermy and oddities and he gave me a lot of tips about long term care for wet taxidermy. Walked out with a really cool wet octopus, a raccoon skull, and some antique bottles of poison. Definitely check these guys out if you’re in Cleveland, I can’t wait to come back next time I’m in town. Excellent shop.

I love this store! Theres something new every time I go in (they get 15-20 new items every day), and the staff are super friendly. Great place for gifts for the morbid in your life--or for yourself! Be sure to snap up any bones or taxidermy you really take a fancy to, because chances are the next time you go back, someone else will have bought it.

Stopped in because I was in Cleveland (actually Lakewood) and was curious. Wow, really cool, borderline creepy, and super interesting. Owners have a real passion for the oddities theyre peddling and were very friendly despite the obvious tightwad gawkers in their presence. Shortly after my lottery windfall Im going to be a regular customer.
