| The Museum
The Museum of Mythology is an
attraction for all ages and there is something in
it for everyone to enjoy. Our feature attraction
is the Museum itself, and this is a family friendly
event that is even wheelchair accessible. The Museum
is broken into three separate sections, Greek, Egyptian
and Viking. Tickets can be purchased for the sections
separately or as a combo-museum ticket. Once purchased,
your wristband pass allows you unlimited access
to that section for the entire day.
Although the Museum itself is
a family friendly event, please exhibit caution
for small children who are afraid of life-size monsters
and creatures. There are no monsters or people who
will jump out at you or scare you in any way inside
any of the three mythos museum sections; however,
we have gone to a great length in recreating believable
monsters and facades. The sheer size and realism
of these sculpts and facades may frighten the youngest
of patrons. |

"The
Face of a Harpy" as encountered
by Jason and the Argonauts
|
Our goal has been to put you in a fantasy world which
would have been similar to the way these ancient cultures
believed their myths to be true. Our current Greek
Mythos will allow you to stand alongside of a Pegasus
near a beautiful stream. Hear the roar of the ocean
and feel the mist of the seas on your face as you
pay homage to the mighty Poseidon by the coral reef.
Tremble as you walk through the dark and mysterious
underworld before Hades and his three-headed dog guardian
Cerberus. Walk with us through the museum as we recreate
cultures that are long gone, but not forgotten.
The Egyptian mythos will put you face to face with
Anubis as well as a giant scorpion minion of Set about
to strike with its deadly tail. Learn about the power
of the Ankh, and witness mummies being prepared for
burial. From Bast to Hathor, Ra to Sekhmet, Isis to
Thoth, you can stand before all the Elderly Egyptian
Gods in their desert temples. Learn about the immortal
Phoenix who perishes only to rise again from its own
ashes.
The Norse (Viking) mythos spans many of the modern
fantasy favorites. The legends of trolls, giants,
dwarves and elves all stem from Norwegian Mythology.
Witness the backbone of Norse mythology, the giant
tree of life, Yggdrasil. Come face to face with the
mighty Nidhogg Dragon. Walk through the very halls
of Valhalla to pass by Odin himself. Stand before
the awe-inspiring size of the Frost and Fire Giants.
The three museum sections
hope to be fun filled events for everyone.

a trip into a cursed Egyptian tomb. Monsters, mummies
and people will do their best to jump out at you

you must navigate through this tomb and recover
three special artifacts to avoid the curse. Are
you one of the brave souls willing to travel into
this cursed tomb?
