Abita Mystery House In Louisiana Just Might Be The Strangest Tourist Trap Yet

Abita Mystery House in Louisiana is a unique and strange roadside attraction featuring oddities like gator-hybrids and taxidermied squirrels.

Sometimes, roadside attractions really are a bit more on the strange side than we're used to. Oddities and strange displays come together to make Abita Mystery House something unique. It may be the strangest tourist trap in Louisiana. What do you think? If this isn't the weirdest thing you've seen in Louisiana, then we'd love to hear what is.

Welcome to today's adventure, a tourist trap and roadside attraction named Abita Mystery House.

Honestly, if weird is what you're looking for, then you'll find it here.

The stars of the show here are strange gator-hybrids, which are a sort of mascot for the museum.

Dogigators and more call this place home, and there's nothing better than a strange creature or cryptid to make somewhere fun.

Taxidermied squirrels with personalities and more call this vintage gas station their home, and we couldn't be happier.

Though it's a bit strange, you never go into a roadside attraction expecting organized and normal.

The entrance fee to Abita Mystery House is $5 per person, which is no problem to keep such a special place running.

Where else can you see squirrels named Wanda and an allisapien creature?

The staff love to move things around, make jokes, and bring a special flair to the spot when they can. If you're lucky, you might meet someone special here, like a sword swallower.

Abita Mystery House (previously UCM Museum) is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily unless otherwise posted.
