Curious but would not pay $3 to see salt and pepper shakers unless I was a collector.

Admission was cheap and could be used as a discount on a purchase after the tour. It is a self guided tour. It is neat to see all the many sizes and shapes of salt an pepper shakers.

We really enjoyed this. 20,000+ sets of salt and pepper shakers. Some really brought some old memories to mind and others were really quirky and fun to see. It is owned by a son of the collector. Very sweet.

This is a really neat place! I wasn't sure I would like but after visiting I would recommend to others. This is not a place that kids will enjoy. At a cost of $3, which can be used as a credit in the gift shop it is definitely worth the time. It was a trip down memory lane plus who... More

I get what you might be thinking. A Salt & Pepper Shaker Museum? Really? What a waste. Think again. The sheer volume of shakers in amazing in itself. Also, it's inexpensive and has air-conditioning. It was much more than I expected, and I would gladly take other people there to see their reactions. If you have kids - don't worry... More

Everything is arranged by categories like "food" and "squirrels." the owner is nice and love to talk about shakers. I will say that i collect... More

Sure, it is not fancy, it is kind of cheesy, but if you are in Gatlinburg this is what you are here for, right? The gentleman at the desk was very nice and explained the personal history of the museum and the passion that his mother has for these unique items. He encourages you to enjoy and take pictures.

My sister and I found this on the internet and had to stop by. It only costs $3 for admission and you can get that $3 back if you buy something in the gift shop, but the items there are a little pricey. There are 20,000 pairs of salt and pepper shakers in a walk through museum. They are sectioned... More
