A fabulous museum and well worth the visit. Highly recommended and likely to be one Off the more esoteric museums you will visit. Loved it.

I had such a wonderful experience, and the owners were so nice. What an intriguing and exciting museum, and Ive never come across anything like it before. I would love to come back and take a closer look at everything because I know there are a ton of details I missed! Also, theres the sweetest orange cat there, and I must visit him again.

As someone who constantly seeks out the unique, strange and bizarre, you would have thought I’d have visited The Bunny Museum years ago. For 19 years it was in the founders home, and I think that is what gave us pause (or in this case paws). But last year they made the move to their own brick and mortar museum! So it finally came time to give them a go! I was so excited!Now located in Altadena, we pulled into the driveway and there was literally no parking bit any signs or directions about parking. Finally we saw someone who told us to park at the Rite Aide around the corner. Ok.You aren’t allowed to bring in bags (which kind of sucks for parents of babies or toddlers), and since they make you park a ways away, you’re stuck into paying an extra dollar for them to hold your bag. The more I think about it, the more I call BS on that play. Children 4 and under are free though, so that’s something.It was exactly what I was expecting (and some of what I wasn’t, which I’ll get to in a minute)... wall to wall bunnies! Thousands (literally over 35k)!!! There are several rooms filled floor to ceiling with bunny things.One of the things my son was most looking forward to was the live bunnies and cats advertised. We went in that room and it was disgusting. It smelled like the litter boxes hadn’t been cleaned in three weeks. There were rotting bananas on the floor along with poop and hair balls. There was a nice couch in there with plastic on it that was showing bunny related films on a large TV screen. My son wanted to watch, and we did a bit, but I was getting more and more grossed out. The live bunnies were all hiding in places where you couldn’t touch them (they are advertised as the only thing you CAN touch in the museum). They are huge though! Very cool. The orange cat was cute too. He let us pet him. There was also a puzzle table for kids in that room, which my son wanted to try... but again... I had to get us out of the room.Upon visiting the upstairs area there were floor puzzles for kids. Maybe this will be ok I thought. But as I got on the floor I noticed how it was literally filthy with cat hair and dirt. Again I was grossed out. We left shortly after.It was tough reviewing The Bunny Museum because I want to support eccentric attractions. It takes guts to create and dedicate your life to something like this. Too many of these types of attractions are dying off. But that said, there is a certain responsibility that business owners... especially museum owners have to meet reasonable cleanliness expectations. This wasn’t unavoidable. It is just lack of effort/caring. I have cats. I have friends with bunnies... the smell and condition of this place isn’t a necessary side effect that comes with cats and bunnies. If you are open to the public, you as business owners have the responsibility to provide a clean environment for your patrons. Even more so when kids are your target audience!The large bunny outside, the cookie jars and the vintage signs and advertising were the highlights for me.I was very disappointed as I really wanted to rave about this place as enthusiastically as I rave about the idea. I hope they figure out a way to solve the problem. These types of places are a dying breed, and yes it’s because it takes so much work to keep them afloat, and I understand it’s a small operation... which is why it’s hard to give such a low rating. But I take pride in writing honest reviews, and my initial excitement was quickly replaced with the need to escape to fresh air. I hope it improves.

This was not what we thought it would be. It was very overwhelming at how much bunny items this couple has. Too much to take it all in. They charge $6.00 to go through their house and look at their collection. We expected to see more live bunnies, and visit with them but we only saw 3. If you are wanting to see something out of the ordinary sites of LA visit this place. The couple were very nice.

Absolutely lives up to its name. Anything you could possibly want to see that is bunny related can be found here. And the owners are sweet, too. (Full disclosure: I got in free because I helped deliver a new item.)

Didnt see the point of this place when my niece asked me to take her here. She didnt see the point of paying an entry fee based on what we saw from outside. Hard no on this one folks.

It is a little hard to park here, but we parked at the CVS (or was it rite aid?) beside it. The place is larger than expected, and if you take your time looking at the things, you can easily spend about an hour here. While it is called the bunny museum, the focus is on the large bunny-themed collectibles that is here, rather than some sort of like learning/Science exhibit about rabbits and all that. There are some real rabbits in some of the rooms you can pet, but theyre really lazy and dont move (maybe from over eating?). Instead, the cats there are more interactive and want your company a lot more. I think we spent the most time with the cats out of everything else, their m they are really cute!

Sad sad sad. The place (not a museum under ANY definition) was junky and dirty and had no rhyme or reason to it. The live rabbits seriously need to be liberated. My husband and I left so depressed it hurt.

A strange and wonderful place, somewhat small but with so many details that you can simply look a little closer and discover something new. The actual bunnies were an unexpected touch.

If you want a museum that is an odd ball collection of bunnies, then this is your spot. Make sure you have cash to get in and for the locker to place all your bags in. Or if you are smart and read this review then leave your bags/purses in your vechile and not pay the extra locker fee. Parking is either in residential areas around the museum or in the business parking lot next to the museum (I believe there is a rite aid there so some sort of drug store). The museum is filled with a collection of bunny items. One room has actually real bunnies and taxidermy bunnies as well. Oh creepy (actually I love taxidermy)! There are info sheets all through the museum to help you understand what you are looking at besides bunnies. If you need any more insight ask the person at the front desk, they know everything about this joint. Oh and take lots of photos with your cellphone since profession cameras are not allowed in the museum. Odd I know because most museums allow it. I even tried to persuade the front desk by telling her that I wont use the flash and got a brisk no. Bummer. That didnt sway my adventure. I highly suggest you go in and experience this oddity for yourself or your family.

A very interesting place full of rabbit related stuff. Contrary to what they say on their website they DO NOT allow SLR cameras. Its good to see once but I world not take young children because you obviously cannot touch anything. Honestly, the $12 entry fee was too high for what you get which is to see someones personal collection of rabbits and rabbit related things.

It is tucked away and bit hard to find. No real parking that we could see. I didnt know what to expect. Its a house and it has every kind of nick nack you can imagine relating to rabbits. Its amazing how many have been collected but many things needed dusting, some were broken and left there. It was a bit overwhelming. However, It had a couple of real bunnys in a open room, that was cute, but the bathroom, well... I left feeling that if I am being charged to go...anywhere...it should be properly cleaned and maintained better.

Both more awesome and creepier than I expected it to be. The best part is the live bunnies that you can pet.

Delightful, querky experience.The huge collection of all things bunny, including the 3 live bunny pets and a number of now deceased but stuffed former pets, all started as romantic gifts to one another by the couple that owns the collection.The couple was helpful in pointing out some of the especially interesting items.Well worth the admission.

If youre looking to see something different, come hop over to the Bunny Museum. This massive collection of over 35,000 items takes about 30-60 minutes to fully explore. The couple that runs the place is very friendly.

Travelled from the UK and missed my house bunnies so much, found this place in a Google search of wet weather things to do. So glad I went, seeing and feeding the live bunnies was so nice, the museum was amazing with so many pieces and inspiring stories, not to mention the opportunity for such a bunny fanatic to check in to such an iconic location on facebook

It stinks, definitely not recommend!! The host was rude and so unkind! Not well organized and looks dingy! $8 for the ticket, surcharge without telling you when you used credit card, no bag allowed inside and you pay for checkroom.
