Do you need an authentic Bigfoot call? What about a horsehead mask for your fingers? While you are you are here, you can see the worlds smallest rubber chicken. Also the largest. Watch out for the Wallingford Beast!

This is my favorite place to shop in Seattle. I get their catalog in the mail and still go in all the time. Fun stuff, friendly staff. Dont visit North Seattle without stopping by!

Perfect place to get unique gifts and just wander around to look at the great displays the staff puts together. Plus, where else are you gonna get to visit a rubber chicken museum?

Its been a dream to visit Archie McPhee since the early 90s. For years Ive been a huge fan and I was finally able to go! I got a really awesome gift of the Archie McPhee book for the amount of my purchase, which I love! This place was a dream come true and I will remain a lifelong fan!

A MUST VISIT while in Seattle.If your not sure, they have their own Parking Lot.Hubby and I had a few laughs and bought a few little things.Customer Service: 5 Stars, FriendlyParking: 5 Stars, no street or garage parking or paid parking.Store Items: Over 10,000 different items.Museum: 5 Stars, because the store makes me laugh. Rubber Chicken Museum is more like a Wall of Items, NOT big. It could have more history in it.Prices: 4.5 Stars, a few items were overpriced.

What a fun shop! It’s a typical novelty shop and I definitely had a good time looking around. The little rubber chicken nook was definitely entertaining. I was expecting a bit more from a “museum”, but how much can one really say about rubber chickens :-)? I think I was more amused by the number of signs asking people not to drive the staff crazy with squeezing the rubber chickens than anything else.I do have to say that I think the staff could be more pleasant. For a store that is selling something that is not essential, service is rather critical.

Visited the Rubber Chicken Museum and learned all about the rich and facinating history of the rubber chicken. Couldnt find a docent to learn more nor was there a self guided audio tour however informational placards were highly informative. Gift shop is a bit overwhelming and may actually be larger than exibit.

One of old Seattles relics. This fantastic little novelty of a store is a must for any quirky fun loving person. Go pick up some silly treasures you didnt know you needed or go see their rubber chicken museum.

I didnt buy anything, but this is a great tourist destination just to go see! :) Lots of funny knick-knacks to look at, including the irony-filled rubber chicken museum. My husband and I enjoyed grabbing some Molly Moons ice cream and walking here to browse around. It would take HOURS to look through and enjoy everything!

Best place for fun costumes and random knick knack gifts and gag gifts, perfect for all ages. Take a picture with the squirrel wearing tighty whities and get beamed up next to a dancing Bacon.Also, on your birthday, they give you a fun surprise.Only issue, parking is minimal.

Archies is one of my happy places. I always find something unique and the staff is easy going and friendly. If youre into crafts or tinkering, they have a whole section of odds and ends that you wouldnt find anywhere else. A true novelty store!

Review №29

What a find! Truly a gem. Too damn cute. I was looking for a place to find some cool gifts for two people who are impossible to shop for when Archie McPhee was suggested. A train ride and an Uber got me to the most fabulous spot I’ve patronized since being in Seattle. If you can’t find something you like in here, you should probably seek counseling of some sort 😂

Tons of entertaining things to see and buy. I walked in my first time, bought a bunch of things that fit in my pockets and some things for friends. Wigs, socks, animal figures, just a bunch of hilarious things.

Quite the experience for kids and adults who love the silly. The store is packed with fun and the unusual. Main attraction is the beloved rubber chicken museum. Although small, you can be sure it is one of a kind experience.

Review №32

Silly weirdness. I mean there is a squirrel in underpants. Sillyness runs deep. Great for gag gifts and such. If you need a quick smile just go look inside. There will be something that makes you laugh.

Review №36

What a fun store. All the gag gifts you could ever want in one place. When you first walk in you might think, uh, what is this but give it a minute to set in. You spen hours looking through the selection of randomness.Plan ahead for parking. There are only a few spots in the lot and its tight.

Ive been going here for 10+ years and its still such a great store with the best staff. Toggle switches,Old school caller IDs, Devil Duckies,bacon themed shower curtains, inflatable tiara,etc. We picked up some educational place matts for the kids.

When I was a young boy in Seattle in 80s; I couldnt wait to get my allowance. I would walk down Archie McPhees and shop like a king. My mom would laugh but my pep pep was worried about how I spent my money.Unique products you cant find anywhere else. Friendly staff. Great customer service.

This place is just fun. A living embodiment of their legendary catalog, it feels like a crazy classic Americana roadside attraction. A definite must stop if youre in Seattle! Home of the World Famous (?) Rubber Chicken Museum, my favourite exhibit of which can be seen in the attached pic.

Youre able to mess around with all the random knick-knacks that they have in the store. Its a pretty weird feeling to be there, as everything just seems so out of the ordinary and hilariously outrageous. I would highly recommend getting something from here for presents in white elephant exchanges.

We’re just happy a place like this exists! This is a toy store for the weird, strange and eccentric! You won’t believe what you’ll find here! Sure, there are some overpriced things... but any place with a Rubber Chicken Museum in the back has to get 5 stars!!! Right?

This is a place well worth checking out! It is hard to describe exactly what it is. Its a funky, quirky adult toy store. They have a rubber chicken exhibit in the back. They offer unique items that make great gag gifts and stocking stuffers! There is a small parking lot on the side of the building.

Review №87

Ever stress about gift ideas? Archies is your solution. If you can stroll their aisles without finding something to delight, terrify, confound or otherwise satisfy your gift target, well, maybe they shouldnt be getting a gift from you anyway. Oh, and dont forget to leave an extra 10 minutes (or more) for the Rubber Chicken Museum and the Wallingford Beast.

Love this place! Always find stuff that makes me laugh, and the family loves. Been going here for a long time, and they have classic gifts, funny gifts and some that are hilarious. Staff is fantastic! Looking for a gag,hilarious gift, this is the place to go, in person or online. Here you can find pickle, clam, ketchup or mac and cheese candy canes, jp patches and Gertrude items, uff da socks or bandages. Be sure that you look for the squirrel in underpants, bigfoot in underpants or gag gift boxes. Have fun there! I always do!
