7 Unbelievably Quirky Destinations Near Santa Clarita You Need to See

Santa Clarita residents, tired of the same old weekend plans? If you're craving something wildly unique, these offbeat spots near town will ignite your sense of adventure. From bizarre museums to hidden oddities, here’s where to go when ordinary just won’t cut it.

1. The Bunny Museum (Altadena)

Yes, you read that right—a museum dedicated entirely to bunnies! With over 35,000 rabbit-themed items, this Guinness World Record holder is equal parts adorable and overwhelming. Visit if you dare to be surrounded by every possible incarnation of a bunny.

2. The Museum of Jurassic Technology (Culver City)

Part art, part science, and entirely confusing, this museum blurs the line between fact and fiction. Exhibits include microscopic sculptures and questionable dinosaur lore—perfect for those who love a good mind-bending experience.

• Why go? It’s like stepping into a David Lynch film.
• Pro tip: Don’t try to make sense of it—just embrace the weird.

3. The Integratron (Landers)

This dome-shaped "acoustic resonance chamber" promises sound baths that’ll supposedly heal your soul. Whether you believe in its mystical powers or not, lying in a giant wooden structure while gongs vibrate around you is undeniably trippy.

4. The Velveteria (Los Angeles)

A museum celebrating velvet paintings—from Elvis to Bigfoot. If you’ve ever wanted to see Jesus rendered in plush fabric, this is your chance. Bonus: They’ve got a velvet tribute to classic ’80s movies.

5. The Lost Book Store (Los Angeles)

Not so much a store as a labyrinth of towering book piles that may (or may not) collapse on you. It’s chaotic, dusty, and absolutely magical for bibliophiles who enjoy a treasure hunt.

1. Bring cash—they don’t do cards.
2. Wear sturdy shoes—navigating the stacks is an extreme sport.

6. The Bunnyhenge (Malibu)

Yep, another bunny spot. This one’s a Stonehenge replica… but with giant rabbit statues. Located at the Malibu Hindu Temple, it's a surreal sight that’s perfect for quirky Instagram snaps.

7. The Museum of Death (Hollywood)

Not for the faint-hearted, this grim collection features crime scene photos, serial killer art, and even a guillotine. It’s macabre, disturbing, and weirdly fascinating.

What do you think?

• Would you visit a museum dedicated to something as random as velvet paintings?
• Is the Bunny Museum delightfully weird or just plain creepy?
• Should places like the Museum of Death exist, or do they glorify tragedy?
• What’s the quirkiest place you’ve ever visited?
