It was quite interesting to see the elaborate ways humans would come up with to get themselves off in less technologically advanced times! Its a great way to kill 15-30 minutes. This place is a mandatory visit for anyone staying at the Holiday Inn Golden Gateway imo because its FREE and its right next to your hotel. Then you can grab a nice doughnut across the street when youre done visiting this place.

Did a date night with a few friends and decided this would be fun... it was! Great docent led tour through small but well represented museum. Come on in with a open mind and learn some interesting history on pushing the button.

It was the most exciting for me to take my best friend to a first sex shop in her life. Girls at the counter were really nice and welcoming. They had all sorts of goodies for someone that had no idea how sex shops are set up. Also they have another room which is exibition of little history of vibrators and massagers. It is definitely a place to check out if you are into anything sexual

What an interesting place. Its really just a single room at the back of an adult toy store, (Good Vibrations) but its quite fascinating.

Its a small museum inside the good vibrations sex shop. This one room museum offers you the history of vibrators. Interesting and funny! Plus, good vibrations store is right outside, so you can go crazy ;)

Quick fun stop, interesting stuff in the one room museum. FYI, you must walk through the adult novelty store in order to get to the museum room.

Small collection of some of the first and most unique vibrators made. While its a small room, the collection is quite interesting to see how they changed over the years and what they were marketed as in a time when you couldnt sell them as pleasure toys.

This is amazing! I didnt expect so much information. I thought Id be walking into a sex shop with a couple antiques, but this had a bunch, and even timelines, newspaper articles, and detailed information about the different vibrators

It is such a cool place inside a adult shop, the guys are friendly and its a small room.about the history of vibrators which is 60 odd years right now and it doesnt always have to be something sexual but for the body, mind, hands and different styles such as mechanic and electric. Very cool spot

I thought it was well worth the visit. The museum is small, comprising just one room, however there are lots of items and they clearly trace the evolution of vibrators from old mechanically driven ones through to the battery powered colourful 80s versions. The museum avoids being crass but also doesnt pretend its all about scalp massage!

Its not a large museum -- its at the back of a retail store in its it own, separate area -- but its comprehensive, interesting, and entertaining.

The museum is in the back of a adult toy shop.It does not cost anything and contains a lot of history on how massagers/vibrators came to be.Its a short trip, and likely a maximum of 45 minutes.

Review №23

The museum is inside the back of an adult store. Some visitors tend to giggle, but the staff was very informative and serious. We didnt get to vist during the educational tours, but the staff of the store did speak to us about facts. We did go in thinking it would be funny, but we actually learned alot about how womens health was percieved in the past. Great learning experience.
