Very fun and unique place! It was hard not to buy it all! Everything from Serial Killer memorabilia, taxidermy, x-rays, bones, the list goes on. I could look for hours and not see everything!

A unique, one-of-a-kind "mini-museum" with items that are historical and disturbing, bizarre yet fascinating. A hidden gem located in Andersonville amongst other great retail stores, men's day spa, cafes and eateries.

Today, I had the pleasure of visiting the shop after following on social media for years. We were able to meet the lovely gentleman running the counter and his cute pup, Phil. What a blast this shop is as an oddities lover. Can't wait to come back!

Not only is Woolly Mammoth the coolest oddities store I've ever been in, with everything from fossils to magazines to tarot to taxidermy and more, they are the KINDEST people who truly went out of their way to make our day special. They conspired with me to help make "the luckiest day ever" for my girlfriend before I proposed to her, by pretending we were their "one millionth customer"! They even made this piece of art for it! I couldn't be more grateful and we can't wait to come back again and again. THANK YOU!

Unique, curated collection of offbeat and funky goods. Lots of secondhand and antiques, plus some pieces that veer more towards art. Really fun to walk around and super friendly owner. Give it a visit!
