Reviews of National Bobblehead Hall of Fame & Museum

Marisol Munoz

We had such a great time visiting the Bobble Head Hall of Fame. We are from out of town but everyone greeted us like we were regulars. The lady that attended us at the front desk was really kind and went out of her way to check if she had the items we were looking for in stock. A couple of trains passed by that ended up shaking the bobble heads which was really cool to see!! We saw so many familiar bobble heads and it was funny to see some mimic memes. We purchased a couple of bobble heads and magnets to add to our collection. I’ll definitely recommend this place to family and friends as this is a good place to take your kid or even go with a friend.

We were there on a Saturday afternoon planning to spend about 30 minutes. We ended up spending 1 hour and 45 minutes in the place playing their scavenger hunt and enjoying the quirky collection that they had. Yes, absolute fun for sports fan. But rest assured that their collection outside sports is also pretty huge with famous people from all walks and diaspora to famous cartoon characters. Also learned a lot about the (surprising long) history of bobble head.

Madyun Wilson

Such a fun and addictive experience to have in Milwaukee any time of the week. This location is great for children and inclusive to all! They have so many bobbleheads with 70 percent of them involving sports. My only wish is that I could have interacted with a large-sized bobblehead and have had more arts and culture references on display.

Keysha Valentin Pedrosa

Loved this place. Nice, fun and low cost thing to do if walking around Downtown Milwaukee. They have more than 7,000 Bobbleheads from different sports, cartoons and personalities.

Andrew West

Finally got to visit the National bobblehead HOF and Museum for the first time after 2yrs of waiting to travel. It was well worth the trip from Canada. Phenomenal displays and overall setup. An absolute must visit destination in Milwaukee for any bobblehead fanatics or collectors in general! Would like to see more Toronto and Canadian sports teams on display in the future. Will definitely be back for another visit at some point to see the new additions and continued progress to the current 7000 bobbleheads on display. Keep up the good work!

The kids loved the museum. The price was 5 dollars per person and the staff was friendly. It was pretty awesome to see different bobbleheads.

Kon Gruffey

Come here!!! It’s cheap, $5. It’s really organized in a smart way as to not be overwhelming!!! They have baseball, football, basketball, and everything else you could imagine, including Jesus. 8000 in total!! Wowza!!

Shopping Bag

Wow. Who knew that the collectibles passion of two friends could grow into an amazing spectacle of niche toy manufacturing that captures cultural and historic context in an amusing and entertaining way. Kids will enjoy it, but adults will MARVEL at the collections. Kudos to museum staff for developing an interactive scavenger hunt that engages youngsters while the old farts like us spend way too much time marveling over the tiny caricatures of sports legends, historical figures, and pop cultures icons. This is a must-see stop in Milwaukee.

Gretchen Schwartz

This is a do not miss when visiting Milwaukee! Once you enter the doors, you enter into a Bobblehead fantasy land. I thoroughly enjoyed the thousands of Bobbleheads organized by genre, plus Bobbleheads lining the window ledge with great historical information regarding the real person. Make sure to checkout the Bobblehead time line - very informative. Staff are AMAZING, super friendly and helpful. As a side, parking is limited, but available on the street, close to the building. This is a fun time and must see! 100% exceeded my expectations!

Kevin Walker

A little hard to find, as there is just a small sign above the door. Nothing that I could see to tell you to turn into the parking lot. But once inside, a very cool collection.

Martin M

I love bobbles! This place was so cool. It looks more like a great private collection. Super cool to see all of them!

Jack Champeau

Well worth the price of admission! A really fun ways to spend 1-2 hours, no matter your sports, political, or popcultural preferences.

S D

Cute little stop. $5 entry per person. A little sad they didn’t have a Mr. Hanky in the gift shop for purchase.

Andy Hoskins

I had the most wonderful experience. The staff was so friendly and they truly went out of their way to see that each person has a great time. The bobble head collection was really something to see. I was even able to get a picture with one of the owners which I plan to frame and put near my collection. Plus I have 2 members bobbleheads that they signed for me as well. It was an awesome experience.

April Balagna

The staff and co-owner were lovely and provided a scavenger hunt to participate in while checking out the collection. A lot of entertainment for only $5 a person!

Mark Smith

We like to get out and find unusual things to see and the Bobble Head Museum fits the bill. We were the only ones there on a weekday morning. It was fun to see the wide assortment of bobbles on display.

John Gloss

When in Milwaukee it is a must visit. $5 entrance fee is ok and over 10000 heads makes for a fun visit , not just sports but every walk of life. Presidents entertainment people line the shelf.

Peter Evans

A great little museum dedicated to bobbleheads. So many fun and unique ones in the collection. Very fair price.

Andrew Schaefer

Quirky and awesome! So glad I saw this museum. They have nearly everything you can imagine in bobblehead form, and more. Not too big either so you can see the whole thing in a reasonable amount of time. I will definitely be back.

Christine Knoespel

I had a great experience at the bobblehead museum. So much to see and brought back a lot of memories from my childhood.

Jeff DeMuynck

Fun affordable ($5) way to spend 45 mins. Its mostly sports bobbleheads but they have a fun pop culture and politics section as well. Would and have recommended to friends.

A. Pierce

Decent way to kill some time after visiting something else. They'll have plenty from whatever sports team you're a fan of provided it's an American team. I wouldn't recommend bringing small children here though-the bobbleheads aren't behind glass or anything so a child might struggle to keep their hands off.

Cathy Von Eschen

We founds this hidden gem while visiting Milwaukee. Something for everyone and an interesting collection.

Jami Oyster

This is a great place to visit! It is a hidden gem and only cost $5 a person! Our 12 year old and 14 year old enjoyed the scavenger hunts! The staff was extremely friendly! We highly recommend this place to anyone who visits Milwaukee!

George mardini

This place is amazing and so unique. The staff is very welcoming and friendly. They took the time to explain the rules in a very nice way. If you are in Milwaukee, this place is a must see.

Dan Cesaro

Cool place to check out. Only $5 admission per person. Great deal, you can easily spend an hour checking out all they have to see there.

Christine Brettingen

Literally thousands of bobbleheads and the admission is only $5. It's also in the same building as Colectvo Coffee and Stack'd Burger Bar that I would also highly recommend for lunch. The only downside is parking. There is a small lot but it fills fast, and the street parking has 2 hour limits.

Mary Hart

A great little random museum to visit. I loved laughing at the bobble heads & enjoyed the history of bobble heads as well. The staff was very nice and informative.

Zane Ecklund

This place was founded by a couple guys from my hometown and I picked up a bobblehead from my alma mater so I approve

Kathryn Goral

When I think of bobbleheads I think of sports for some reason but this place opened my eyes to a whole new series of bobbles!! Seriously, there's a "Karen" bobblehead, a Captain Sensible (Cheep Trick) and Charlie Berens (Comedian). It was sooo hard to "not touch" in this museum! We were surprised when we were getting ready to leave that we spent over an hour and thirty minutes looking, discussing and marveling. You must add this to your bucket list when visiting Milwaukee!

skillert69

Amazing experience! Bobbleheads are so unique and interesting!

Adrián Peña Hueso

A nice place to visit, most bobbleheads are sports related with some of famous people, cartoons and movies. They also have a store, if you want to buy one as souvenir. While they have more than 13000 bobbleheads, only about 6500 are on display and they plan to rotate the exhibits

Matt Simmons

Awesome museum. So many different Bobbleheads. Well worth the stop. Several bobbleheads for sale in the store.

John Burns

Such an awesome place. Highly recommend this place. Staff was amazing too! The collection this place has is absolutely amazing.

Brooklyn Legg

Nice stop if your in the area! They have a fun scavenger hunt in the bobble heads

Shaun Hayes

Stopped in while visiting town and had an awesome time!

Michael Davis

Very interest to look at it and wow the bobble heads are a lot and a lot nice and clean place inside the museum

Rachael Giallongo

Quirky museum but totally worth the trip! I laughed out loud so many times while strolling through this museum.

Adam Hodges

I became a member for the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame last year and had been waiting a while for the opening of the physical location. My wife and I finally made a trip from Detroit, MI to the museum and we were not disappointed! Phil (and Brad) were extremely accommodating for my trip and were so friendly! The museum had thousands of bobbleheads and completely shattered my expectations! I thought my 80+ collection of bobbleheads was impressive, but their collection blew mine out of the water lol. Thank you guys so much and keep doing what you are doing!

Tommy Dyson

If you love bobbleheads then this is your place. Over 7000 bobbleheads on display. The owners and staff were really nice and took the time to talk to you about the museum. My nephew and I had a great time.

Virginie Metivier

Great products, well packaged. The company initially made a mistake with my shipment but corrected their mistake to my full satisfaction.

Nat Dubz

Good store. Really friendly lady who helped us figure out a parking situation (came from out of town). Only suggestion would be using a red rope or some kind of divider/sign to show where the "store" section ended & the museum began. Wasn't exactly clear and we felt bad going past but didn't intentionally do so. It was adorable they had all kinds of Bobbleheads on display that weren't just sports-related.

Ulrik Hvid Mistarz

Fun and unique experience in this small museum. You can see everything in 45-60 min. There is a huge selection of bubblehead figures of all kind of celebrities, even though there is a majority of American sports persons.

Jessica H

Completely fun idea and at only five dollars it's worth the short stop. I already want to have some of my favorite bobble heads donated here.

Shawna

Fun place to spend an hour or so. Great collection of Bobbleheads.

Madison McKay

Fantastic experience! I loved the scavenger hunt and the staff was great too.

Peter Schrenk

Fun experience for our family with kids 10 and under. There were a few activities for kids, including a scavenger hunt, but I think that could be an area for improvement.

Lucky Palo

Definitely worth a visit if you have kids. Expect to spend a mini of two hrs. Vast collection ever seen of the Bobbleheads! Surely value for your buck. They have Find a character, treasure hunt kind of fun games to keep the kids engaged. Staff was very informative and nice. Good experience. Thanks

P B

This company is great! Always have great stock on their online store, fair prices, rapid shipping, great email communications and if you need to call for any reason, they actually answer the phone. Charles is always awesome on the phone and super helpful when I call regarding orders / updates etc. He actually cares and listens to customers. Sad that it’s rare nowadays. I look forward to one day eventually traveling to WI and visiting their physical location.

Kari

What a unique & charming museum! Great value, cool gift shop and absolutely worth a visit.

Pamela Warner

Super fun scavenger hunt and really helpful staff. Definitely want to return.

Katherine Davis

You could spend all day here. It is a very neat place.

Kyle Neely

This place is so much fun. Take the scavenger hunt and find Waldo.

Keith Markano

Fun little place! I did not realize that there were that many different bobbleheads! You can go through it in a relatively short amount of time. It made for a fun morning.

Lesley Marchan

So much fun! My boyfriend and I had such a great time wandering around and working through the scavenger hunt!

Nancy Geary

So interesting....over 7000 to see

Chris Hernandez

A fun quirky museum had more categories of bobbleheads then I expected but the largest section is dedicated to sports related ones

Kurt Smith

I ordered the Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear and his sign language interpreter Virginia Moore boobleheads. Although I was initially perturbed at how long it took to receive them (I had never purchased anything from them and was feeling like I might have bere scammed.) Boy howdy I get to know gleefully eat my words and thoughts. I truly love it when I am wrong. Yes, it did take a while to receive them. BUT the quality of the bobbleheads are extraordinary and loving card in which the were packaged and sent was exemplary as well. If my singular EXCELLENT experience with the National Bobblehead Museum and Store is any indication of them, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM!!!

Nicki Nault

Very interesting and well kept

Brad Hebert

Neat place! A wide variety of bobbleheads. The place is clean and well-organized, and it's in a nice location.

Shoumit Karnik

Amazing place. Friendly owners. Do try to find Waldo, we found him, n it was an amazing experience.

Harry Oei

It was fun to see some of my teams represented. Even some entertainers were included.

Jon Lehman

Wow a lot of bobble heads and a very cool place to visit 😀

darren huenefeld

This company is amazing. They are temporarily closed, I am guessing due to the pandemic. Even with that being the case, I noticed they are making donations to people in equally or worse situations through fundraiser campaigns. If I am ever in Wisconsin I will 100% be visiting this establishment. I suggest locals or tourists do the same!

Tyler Mason

As someone who has a small collection of bobbleheads at home, I was excited to check this place out — and it didn't disappoint. Right when you walk in, the amount of bobbleheads is overwhelming, but in a good way. There's no way to truly see them all in one visit. Even my family members who weren't as into bobbleheads thought it was cool. And the $5 admission is a great price. I'd highly recommend checking it out.

Stephanie Zeiler

I had low expectations but the person at the front desk was very friendly and asked “Would you like to do the scavenger hunt?”. Your answer should be “Yes, yes we would.” We had one page / clipboard for two adults and one 10yo. We ended up spending a couple of hours and had a lot of fun answering the questions while discovering a lot of unique Bobbleheads. Go!

Chucky Rosenfeld

Really awesome place! Over 7,000 bobbleheads! We spent about an hour here, could've easily spent 2.

Barbara Levin

We are locals and finally took time to visit. This is an absolute gem of a place. Great for all ages. So so fun!

Dorothy Scherck

The bobble heads I've purchased have been great, true to caricature, packaged well and shipped timely. My grandson is a Big Bucks fan so I watch for any new idea.

Stormy Kara

$5, 7000 bobbleheads of all kinds, really fun experience!

luis d

Small, but packed with a lot bobbleheads. Plenty of sports memorabilia, but much mor than that as well. Easily spent an hour in what was my first visit. $5 visitor fee was more than reasonable. Free parking available.

Danielle Aprea

This was a great experience ! So glad we went

Eric Lovellette

Issue resolved. Thank you for the assistance, it's greatly appreciated! A+

Christa Dunker

Cool displays but a tad overwhelming at times.

Richard K

This place is truly a remarkable and one-of-a-kind jewel! I am not much of a sports fan and don't collect bobbleheads myself, yet I was still in awe of the collection here. I can only imagine how amazing it must be for sports fans and collectors! We stayed for a couple hours and, if we had the time, could have stayed for hours more. The Bobblehead Hall of Fame is clearly a labor of love and so much care and thought has gone in to its presentation. It is a whimsical, unique and enjoyable experience not to be missed. There are many fun little additions as well, such as a giant bobblehead that you can take your picture with, a Where's Waldo bobblehead to search for and lots of fascinating descriptions about the history of bobbleheads. If you are in Milwaukee, make sure you do not miss the Bobblhead Hall of Fame.

Kevin Bram

Kool! Always Awesome in there! the Collections you could build . Glad Covid gonna be gone soon. Part my Bobblehead song for roads . feelin like a Bobblehead tryin these potholes on bumpy road of life UpsidedownClown ..

chris shaw

We enjoyed our visit. There are many truly unique Bobbleheads here. I'd recommend it to anyone who visits or lives in Milwaukee.

Tracey Spinelli

I had an issue with an order from a few months ago, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the manner in which one of the Co-founders, Phil, was able to resolve the situation. He reached out to me personally and listened to my concerns. Phil was extremely professional, and it's evident that this company cares about their customers. I love my Saquon Barkley bobblehead! Thank you to the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum for doing things the right way. I'm looking forward to shopping again!

Will Enderley

Very nice place and informative associates.

John Graff

Placed order for custom bobble heads in April. For awhile I received updates but now for last two months no response to my messages. UPDATE: They did respond after I posted initial comments, which was good, but still waiting for bobbleheads, or even expected ship date.

Greg Pastor

I placed a presale order for a Mount Union Purple Raiders Bobblehead. It arrived today and has exceeded all expectations. The bobblehead is beautiful. Large size, sturdy design (not cheap plastic) and colors are spot on. Extremely satisfied! Go Purple Raiders!

Max Romanaggi

Super fun and affordable way to spend some time! Cool gift shop as well.

Ralph Yard Sr

Interesting, fun, over 6500 bobbleheads. $5 to enter.

Arthur Clifford

I originally had an issue with trying to cancel a presale order. Customer Service was not helpful until this was escalated to the Co-Founder. Based on my experience, they are changing how customer complaints are handled and I am satisfied with how the company resolved the situation.

Sean

I'm always on the lookout for offbeat museums. Sometimes this means you end up strolling through some real disasters, but for the most part you end up spending time in the collection of someone who was totally passionate about something the rest of the world barely takes notice of. The bobblehead hall of fame is exactly what it says it is. It's a huge collection of bobbleheads. There are a lot of the sports bobbleheads you'd expect to see, but there are also all kinds of other strange things like politicians, religious figures and musicians. There's something interesting for nearly everyone.

Jamie

It was so interesting to see all theses different types of bobble heads. I didn't even know some of the ones they had were even something that was made. A great family experience, cheap admission fee with lots to look at.

Wendy Blanquel-Garcia

My dad has some of his bobble heads here and the whole place is simply an amazing and different experience. History and amusement is found on the shelves there, definitely recommend.

Megan McQueen

Fun little museum with something for everyone! Only takes about an hour to look at everything. If you are in the area, you must go!

Nicholas Ischer

This place was super cool! Tons of interesting bobbleheads and lots of history!

Karen Anderson

It only took 1 email to cancel my order, but it took several calls and emails to get my refund.

Tory Brown

Absolutely worth it!

Dan Spielbauer

If you have any interest in bobble heads, it's a great $5 investment

It's a little quirky, but they have a massive collection of bobbleheads. And not just sports. It was a little hard to find, but it was worth looking for. A lot of fun.

Cole Brenkman

Holy cow, what a good time! We ended up here on a whim and the staff was so polite and friendly

A really cool spot to check out in MKE. The staff are so nice and it's truly an amazing collection! Some of the bobbleheads are ridiculous and ridiculously cool!

Dave McCoy

This place is worth a visit if you're in Milwaukee. There are over 10,000 bobbleheads to look at, a couple scavenger hunts and a store. We ended up spending an hour looking at all of the fun bobbleheads. We plan to stop again on our next visit in town and bring a couple bobbleheads to donate to the museum!

UK TOMO (Trip the world and Sports)

(Translation) You can see many bobblehead dolls. Admission is $5.28 including tax. The entrance is a little confusing, so open the door behind the coffee shop and go up the stairs to the second floor. I only know baseball, but there are many dolls of Ichiro in Japan, and I can see that he is popular in the United States. Other Japanese players I have spotted include Daimajin Sasaki, Iwakuma, Hideki Matsui, Igawa, Fujikawa, Fukudome, Otani, Kazuhisa Ishii, and Hideo Nomo. Also, for some reason, Norihiro Nakamura from the Kintetsu era and Coach Nashida from the Kintetsu era were displayed side by side. As a Kintetsu fan, I was surprised and happy at the same time. Besides baseball, there are American football, hockey, golf, movie and anime characters, and even politicians, so you can enjoy it quite a bit. It's a small museum that takes less than 30 minutes if you look lightly, but if you take a closer look, you can discover a lot. (Original) 数多くのボブルヘッド人形が見れます。入場料も税込み5.28ドル。 入口が若干分かりにくくコーヒーショップの裏側の扉を開けて階段を上がって2階です。 野球しか分かりませんが、日本人ではイチロー選手の人形が多数飾られておりアメリカでの人気も伺えます。他の日本人選手で発見出来たのは、大魔神佐々木選手、岩隈選手、松井秀喜選手、井川選手、藤川選手、福留選手、大谷選手、石井一久選手、そして野茂英雄選手です。あと、何故か近鉄時代の中村紀洋選手と近鉄時代の梨田監督が並んで飾られていました。近鉄ファンとしては驚いたのと同時に嬉しかったです。 野球以外にも、アメフト、ホッケー、ゴルフ、映画やアニメのキャラクター更には政治家などもあり結構楽しめます。軽く見れば30分も掛からない小さな博物館ですが、じっくり見れば色々と発見出来るのではないでしょうか。
