No foolin', I took my family to the Spam Museum on April 1 for a fun day trip to Austin. I feel it…read morehas to be a write a passage as a homegrown Minnesotan to experience the Spam Museum once in your life. This free museum is right in the heart of downtown Austin and offers a fun little escape from cruddy weather outside or just to step into something historically and culturally unique in our world. I mean, a whole museum dedicated to canned meat? Weird! You can tell that a lot of creativity and thoughtful care went into the design and creation of this museum. So many bright and fun exhibits, there is not a corner left untouched. Lots of unique, hands-on opportunities for kids as well as some very cool historical offerings make this a great place for all ages. All of the exhibits are of high quality and very thought out. After your visit, you might just be inspired to stop at the grocery store afterwards and try your hand at "spiced canned ham" or in other words SPAM!

This is a cool, kitschy road trip-type of stop that is amusing and fun. Plus, it's totally free to…read moreenter, though there is a gift shop packed with branded goods to tempt your pocketbook! The museum is located right in downtown Austin. The lot immediately behind the museum is small but there is abundant other parking around. I didn't notice any meters or paid parking. A stop at the friendly front desk clerk helped us to get the layout. Everything is on the first floor, which is level. Many exhibits are located along wide aisles, though there are some cubbies such as in the international area. The museum guides visitors through the history of Spam, where it is found around the world and what the flavors are (the commercials are delightfully cheesy), and how it is made. World War II is quite a focus in the history section. There are interactive screens placed at an accessible low level for kids and wheelchair users that share quizzes and trivia. As we wandered through, an employee came through with samples speared on pretzel sticks. We got to try smoked Spam and maple Spam. The gift shop was a good final stop. This would be a great place to get a gag or white elephant gift. I collect smashed pennies, and I was happy to find a machine in the gift shop.

The tables and chairs look like they came from a 1990 auction. I ordered the house Cabernet. My advice is DON'T DO IT. I am not a wine snob, but this wine was not palatable. I sent it back for the J. Lohr and it came back tasting just like the terrible house wine. After a little investigation, we figured out it was the house wine again. The server was accommodating and the third glass I got was sufficient for my palate. For dinner I ordered the Asian Stir Fry. Again, my recommendation is DON'T DO IT. Stick to what Minnesota is good at, meat and potatoes. That is a much safer bet. The plates my fellow diners ordered looked much more palatable than mine. My dish was basically teriyaki sauce soup with veggies and rice. It was not edible and in my opinion should have never left the kitchen looking the way it did. I ended up having a Kind bar for dinner. My overall experience was unpleasant. However, I think if you order fish, meat, or a salad and you splurge on the wine, you will have an okay experience.
