I wasn’t sure what to expect from a museum devoted entirely to Bigfoot, but it sounded like such a unique place to visit that I dragged my family along to Expedition Bigfoot: The Sasquatch Museum during our trip through North Georgia.

Here’s my Expedition Bigfoot review, including what we found inside, how much admission cost and whether this unusual museum is worth visiting.

As it turns out, I wasn’t the only person curious about Bigfoot. The museum was surprisingly busy! We didn’t have to wait to get inside, but there were still plenty of people walking through the exhibits. Apparently, there are a lot more people interested in Bigfoot than I realized.

Where Is the Expedition Bigfoot Museum?

Expedition Bigfoot is located in Cherry Log, Georgia, between Blue Ridge and Ellijay. It is easy to spot from the road thanks to the large Bigfoot signs and statues outside.

Address:
1934 Highway 515
Cherry Log, GA 30522

Website: ExpeditionBigfoot.com

Hours:
Open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Last museum admission is at 4:30 p.m.

The museum is closed on Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas Day and New Year’s Day. Winter hours may vary, so check the website before making a special trip.

How Much Does Expedition Bigfoot Cost?

Admission is currently:

• Adults and teens ages 13 and older: $9
• Children ages 5–12: $6
• Children younger than 5: Free
• Active-duty military members with ID: Free

We visited with two adults and one child, so we paid $24 total for admission. We were able to walk right in without waiting, even though the museum itself was pretty busy.

They Take Their Sasquatches Seriously Here

Expedition Bigfoot describes itself as both a museum and a research and reporting center. People who believe they have encountered Bigfoot can contact the museum to share their experiences confidentially.

The museum contains more than 4,000 square feet of exhibits devoted to reported sightings, possible evidence and Bigfoot research. You can look at footprint casts, maps, photographs, newspaper clippings and items connected to reported encounters.

There are also large recreations of Bigfoot-like creatures, wilderness scenes, a small theater area and a research area filled with monitoring equipment.

Bigfoot Stories From Around the World

The museum is not limited to Sasquatch sightings in the United States. It explores stories about similar creatures reported in different parts of the world, including the Yeti.

There is also an exhibit about Florida’s Skunk Ape, which is our state’s own version of Bigfoot. The creature is said to live in the swamps of Florida and gets its name from the strong odor witnesses have reported.

You get to see many different types of Bigfoot (Bigfeet?) represented throughout different cultures.

Listening to Reported Bigfoot Encounters

Some of the museum’s most memorable exhibits are the audio stations. Noise-canceling headphones allow visitors to listen to firsthand accounts and recordings connected to alleged Bigfoot activity.

Some recordings feature people describing frightening encounters or attacks. Others contain unusual vocalizations believed to have come from Bigfoot. The strange calls and howls are interesting to hear, even if you are not completely convinced about their source.

The firsthand stories make the museum feel more like a collection of ongoing investigations than a display of old legends. Some accounts are creepy, some are fascinating and others may leave you with more questions than answers.

Footprints, Tree Twists and Other Possible Evidence

The museum presents several kinds of alleged Bigfoot evidence, including footprint casts, hair samples, photographs and recordings.

Some of it is more convincing than others. I found things like the tree twists kind of silly. A twisted branch in the woods does not immediately make me think Bigfoot was responsible.

Also, one of the displays has what I’m pretty sure is supposed to be a giant Bigfoot poop. It says it was still warm when it was found.

Still, that is part of what makes the museum fun. You can examine the exhibits, read the explanations and decide for yourself what you believe. The museum clearly believes there is something out there, but visitors do not have to agree with every piece of evidence to enjoy the experience.

The Sasquatch Theater and Bigfoot Tour

Expedition Bigfoot also has a small Sasquatch Theater where visitors can sit and watch videos about sightings, research and reported encounters.

The entire museum is indoors and self-guided. Most visitors can expect to spend about 45 minutes to an hour inside, although serious Bigfoot enthusiasts could easily stay longer to read everything.

Is Expedition Bigfoot Worth Visiting?

Expedition Bigfoot is worth a visit if you enjoy unusual museums, roadside attractions, unexplained mysteries or anything involving cryptids.

It was much more detailed than I expected, and I was surprised by how seriously the museum approaches Bigfoot research. There was also a large collection of firsthand accounts, recordings, footprint casts and historical material to explore.

The museum is family-friendly, affordable and easy to fit into a day spent exploring Blue Ridge, Ellijay or the surrounding North Georgia mountains. There are also plenty of Bigfoot souvenirs available in the gift shop.

You don’t have to be a dedicated Bigfoot believer to have fun here. You just need to believe a tiny bit—or at least be willing to consider the possibility—that maybe Bigfoot really is out there.
