There were so many things to look at inside and out. The grounds were just as cool as the inside ! read more

VAMPA Vampire & Paranormal Museum - Museums Near Me - Doylestown, Pennsylvania

VAMPA exceeded our expectations. The exhibits are immersive, thought-provoking, and often genuinely eerie, with an impressive collection that explores the line between faith, folklore, and the paranormal. We loved it... VAMPA was my wife's suggestion to check this out, though she was ready to leave before the museum was finished with us. There is an unexpected presence there. Not to be taken lightly. ‍ read more

This is well worth the trip out to see this place!! This is not just a museum, it's a world history tour of different places around the world and their folklore, their myths and legends! The artifacts are absolutely jaw dropping, and incredible to behold. Cursed items, haunted items, priceless items. The place the houses all of these items is just a walk-through history and through time. Fabulous adventure read more

I've heard so much about this museum but did not expect to see what a huge collection of vampire and paranormal pieces. Each room had its own history behind it. What made it special was the Director and Curator Ed who welcomed everyone and took the time to answer questions. I'm still amazed by his experience with the exorcisms he has witnessed and his participation at the Vatican. Also, outside on the grounds, he has statues, ponds, fountains on display, as well as for sale. If you get a chance to walk around, he also has beautiful peacocks! His staff were very friendly and made this a very cool experience. Thank you for opening up your museum and your experiences to us. read more

This place was so awesome. I was fortunate enough to be there when the owner was there. He walked around explained everything took questions. It made the museum so interactive. He even said he trained to do exorcisms at the Vatican, which gives an authenticity to this place that I was not expecting. They had a statue from the exorcist there. They had a chair where real exorcism were performed. They had trunks that people used to. Supposedly some paranormal people came there and found some of the dolls on display were possessed. They have special guests and events. Even the outside part that you don't have to pay for is so cool. There's a dinosaur yard and just tons of statues. Some of them are fairly reasonably priced. You can get a stegosaurus the size of a small SUV for 1500 bucks. I don't need a stegosaurus the size of my SUV but if I did, I'd be willing to pay 1500 bucks for it. Beautiful peacocks walk in and out of the store. It was super packed when we went. Had to be like 30 cars. I was so sad they were almost out of merch. This place was just so cool. I can't say enough good things about it. I can't wait to go again. read more

This museum is so cool. We found it by accident by browsing through google. We went over the summer and I must say it's bigger than it looks. It's really cool. I recommend giving this place a go. read more

Everything was so organized and so much to look at, they did a great job with putting this museum together and the story tells it all. The grounds were beautiful, they had peacocks walking around and near sculptures to look at! Megan was very helpful! read more

It was an absolute thrill to experience this!!! There were chills down my spine as soon as I walked in.

Me and my boyfriend and I love to go to unique museums and come upon this one when visiting the area. It was $15 a person, which I think is a pretty good admission price. The parking lot is pretty big, there is a ton of odd figures around the museum along with an antique barn. There was a room of vampire history and items to kill a vampire. There was a paranormal room with tons of possessed items in it. There were about 6 different rooms with a ton of artifacts to look at and facts written about some. The only downfall is that it literally smelled like death, haha it was a very odd strange smell. Other than that, I would go and check it out very interesting! read more

Whoa......my cold little heart is enchanted. Edmondo Crimi, the curator has quite a collection here. He has invested years and massive amounts of money into his collection. When I was looking at the maps application on my phone, this popped out at me when I was looking at directions from New Hope to Philadelphia and thought "why not? It's on the way and this is my type of museum. I expected a few cheesy references to fiction vampires and maybe some coffins. This was SO. MUCH. MORE. From caskets to exorcism chairs to hearse vehicles to stakes to busts to worldly art to Ouija boards from all over the world......this place has it all. It is beautifully displayed and well-preserved. The museum was moderately busy when we were there, but I didn't feel crowded or rushed. I did see Mr. Crimi on the property talking to some visitors and he seemed very open to answering questions and sharing information about his treasures. The grounds where Vampa stands are gorgeous. There is a dinosaur park for the wee ones and antiques for sale and peacocks freely roaming the grounds. It is such a unique place and I have never really seen anything like it. read more

My wife and I met an old friend in Doylestown and decided to go to Vampa. None of us really had any preconceived ideas of what to expect. I was picturing one room with a few artifacts but it was actually the entire first floor of an old farmhouse. Lots of artifacts, skulls, dolls, artwork, sculptures etc. It's on the property of a large Antique store (barn) and the property itself is worth a visit (and that part is free). Lots of strange and interesting stuff to see there including fake dinosaurs and other animals. But back to the museum. It was cool and fun and a little creepy, which is awesome. I took a gazillion pictures but I'm only going to share a handful. I think the less you see ahead of time the more fun it will be to go and then be surprised. If I could make one suggestion -- they need a big sign out front that you can see from the road. We passed the place at first cause we didn't realize where it was. The sign on the road says, "Antiques". read more

Let me preface: if you are okay with traveling to visit this museum solely as an art installation, go ahead. If you are seeking true paranormal and occult history, keep reading. Watch the interviews: the owner's claims are bold - from being Vatican trained for exorcisms despite not being a member of the clergy to owning Marie Laveau's voodoo kit, Carl Jung's vampire kit, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's ouija board (which is inconsistent with the style of board that would have been produced during his life) and Aleister Crowley's ouija. None of these pieces come with historical documentation or purchase proof, they are items that have been auctioned solely in the New Jersey region for decades. This farce has been propelled for decades. The theme is that the museum is good triumphing over evil, the owner claims demonic possessions start with tarot and ouija - modern day satanic panic. The owner, Ed recently claimed he was 18th and 19th century ouija boards and in one interview said they date to the 1500s. Nice try, they didn't exist then. Save your money, there are plenty of actual occult and paranormal museums worth your time. read more

Art lovers, historians, and occult enthusiasts will all love this place! The grounds are full of sculptures and unique victorian style garden furniture. Also includes dinosaur sculptures so kids are welcome as well. Say what you will about the validaty of the haunted items in this museum. You can absolutely feel the spirits here. I am not a psychic or medium, but could feel the energy attached to some pieces. Coming back from the museum I am completed drained from the evil presences. My only wish would be that more pieces would havd further historic investigation. If you know anything about anthropology and museums, you know the field is grossly underfunded and having expert research is time consuming and constly. Some objects are borrowed from personal collections as well. I hope in the future the museum can start adding historic information to some pieces. Overall an amazing experience you will not be disappointed. FYI: the grounds and gardens are kid friendly, NOT the museum. Many items are not blocked off and its going to be a rough day when your child damages a priceless artificaft from the 17th century. read more

This place was AMAZING! I would for sure go there again. The man at the check in thing was very friendly and even told us about some of the exhibits (which were really cool and in depth). Any fan of vampires or ancient paranormal stuff should totally go! read more

The authenticity of the items isn't there. They are cool to look at, lots of used furniture pieces that have been worked and painted to look old and assembled as "vampire kits" there are actual old things mixed in but the majority has that 90s style of making newer furniture look old is prevalent through out the place. read more

We had a lovely time in the museum, its surrounding gardens, and the adjoining antique shop (which is more or less a museum as well) read more

Are you kidding me?? Vampires? C'mon. This gem is located over an antique store so feel free to walk in. The museum is on the second floor. If you're not sure, ask. The people in the antique store are super nice. With that out of the way, lets get on with it. This place is awesome. Its floors are creaky which adds to the creepy affect of the subject materials. And what might that be? Vampires. Old, creepy vampire and paranormal materials. Ever see a real vampire hunting kit? They've got dozens of them. Ever see a real Ouiji board that wasn't a board game? Yup. They got a bunch. Haunted ones too. That's just it, much of this stuff may or may not have spirits attached to them. Creepy. Weird. And it's right there. Not behind glass in a snotty, stuffy museum. Feel free to touch it. Don't be a jerk and start breaking stuff. You'll ruin it for everyone. Just touch something. Be amazed in it's age, it's history. Because these artifacts are well over 100 years old and were hand carved in Europe. Connect with the history of the items like you can't do in a regular museum Most of the stuff is for sale so you might even be able to bring the stuff home. This place is absolutely amazing. It's not very big and an hour is plenty of time to meander through these displays. It'll be an hour you won't soon forget. The closet with the haunted dolls may well visit you in your dreams so tread lightly. read more

A good 30+ minute walk around. A mostly wood carven history of vampire execution weapons, afterlife ideologies, and other paranormal, religious, and oddity art. read more
