    Reservations required/recommended. They're usually sold out few months in advance. So plan ahead when going. Admission is $8 per person. The guide will start by giving a quick over view of the museum and a few key items in the museum along with who started the religion Wicca. Small gift shop in front that has an assortment of items to purchase. Doesn't have parking lot but can park on main road or side roads.

    Wonderful and thorough museum experience! The owner is kind and understanding and well versed on many subjects as it relates to numerology, tarot cards, crystals, witches (Wicca), and so much more related to subject. Highly recommend this place!!!!

    We loved every minute of our visit to the museum. Steven was a gracious host and added a ton to the experience. It's a must see for practitioners and non-practitioners alike!

    There are a ton of really cool pieces of pagan/wiccan history in this little place! The tour guide, who's name I can't recall, really knew her history and had great entertaining, informative stories to tell! Perfect way to start my 40s. 🧙‍♀️

    I can’t recommend this place enough! We drove all the way from Ontario to visit and it was absolutely worth it! It was easily the largest collection of magickal items I’ve had the pleasure of seeing and our guide was more than happy to tell us anything we wanted to know! I would absolutely visit again!

    Absolutely awesome place to visit! I have never been to a museum where it is so apparent the owner cares about it and the customer. Steven did a great job, he remembers guests names and makes the tour personal. He has a wealth of knowledge and it’s obvious he loves to share it with everyone. So many cool things to see with great stories and meaning behind them. We learned so much! The gift shop has a lot of cool stuff too and everything is priced reasonably. Some of the best prices I’ve seen in a gift shop.

    This museum is GORGEOUS. An alternative, witchy babes paradise. Take a journey to the 66-60's or just learn some fun facts about art and wicca, either way it is immaculate. The tour guide was so helpful and knowledgeable about what the topic they're sharing and you can tell that they genuinely care about the shop. They also give out pamphlets of their favorite haunts around town which is a list of other spooky things to do from oddities to confection shops. Make the trip!

    This place was so cool. And what made it even better was the guy who owns it (I'm terrible with names). He was pretty awesome. Whether you're into work craft or not, it's definitely a place worth visiting and learning some awesome stuff.

    Such a gem! Steven gave a great tour and had a story for every single piece in the museum. Despite its small appearance, my partner and I spent almost 2 hours looking at everything and reading all the descriptions. Steven would meander back to us every once in a while to give us a story about whatever we were looking at. His story telling is extremely talented and makes you want to hear more; he does an amazing job of giving you enough context without making each story too long, but has more details upon request. Not to mention the wonderful array of items at the gift shop, we spent at least 40 minutes shopping around. The employees will tell you of related events around the area in case you’re interested. I highly recommend this wonderful museum and encourage you to ask questions. Even if it’s just “what’s this item?” you’ll be glad you asked. Looking forward to coming back on my next visit to Cleveland!

    A must see if in Cleveland. The guide gives you a history of Wicca and witchcraft and explains the history of the museum before letting you look around and take photos. They are very knowledgeable and friendly, great gift shop as well!

    Fantastic museum. The proprietor does a lovely job of presenting the history of the collection. Super fun and informative day trip. *PRO TIP* Buy your tickets for the tour online before you go and pick your date/time for the tour. This is kind of a big deal.

    What a fantastic museum. My wife got us tickets so I didn't know what to expect, but shortly into the tour, I really began to enjoy all of the amazing history of some of the pieces. Very good information and could tell he really loved sharing it with the public. Bought some crystals from the gift shop!

    I visited Cleveland for the second time this last week and was so excited when my partner showed me this Museum was here! Incredible ownership, beautiful pieces and great information given. Their little shop out front is so beautiful too. I loved this little hidden gem and look forward to another visit when I get back down!

    100% would recommend for any students of the occult, or for anyone who just wants a cool museum. While small, it is packed with significant artifacts from modern Wicca, as well as an amazing smattering of occult art. This place is now on my to always visit list when I am in Cleveland! The Buckland Museum of Witchcraft and Magick is one of the coolest little shops/museum I have been to, and I have been to many!

    This place is fantastic and well worth the admission! The owner is very knowledgeable and charismatic and truly made the visit enjoyable. It's a small space, but totally crammed with fascinating artifacts. The gift shop is also bursting with cool trinkets! I was like a kid in a candy store and ended up dropping like $200 on a cacophony of nifty items

    Impulse stop and it paid off! This place is amazing and the tour is well worth the $8. Be sure to buy your tickets online ahead of time. Gift shop prices are super reasonable, and the tour was absolutely outstanding!!

    I chose to take this tour to celebrate my birthday and when we walked in I was given a birthday witches pin. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and comedic. He made the tour very fun. He answered all of our questions as well as shared so much knowledge about the history of Wicca in the United States. There were a lot of cool artifacts and collectibles and things you will not see anywhere else. The gift shop was full of anything you may need to start your journey or they had tshirts and statues if you wanted something to remember your visit. I'm not going to post any pictures of the actual museum because I want you to go and see the wonderment for yourself!!!

    I would absolutely recommend this place! The staff was super knowledgeable and helpful, they were also very friendly and seemed happy to answer all the questions posed to them, absolutely non-judgmental as well. There are tons of really unique and interesting artifacts here, we were there an hour and I'll bet there were still things we would have to visit again to see. So glad we stopped in, but also make sure you budget time to explore the gift shop, there's a ton to see there as well.

    This is a must see! Whether you’re into witchcraft or possess natural curiosity about all things, you’re going to have a great time. Owner is incredible and took the time to speak to all guests on the museum tour, talked about certain objects, and kept things light and fun. He even let us in despite not having bought tickets in advance since we were from out of state. Spooky and open-minded :)

    Very cool visit for me and my two kids. Steve and Alex were wonderful to meet me so full of interesting knowledge. It is so easy to get lost in the artifacts. There are so many cool things to see and read about. The gift shop is full of goodies and very reasonable prices. We’ll definitely be back again.

    We loved this Cleveland hidden gem! Endlessly impressed by the collection of curiosities. The tour guide was warm and friendly, yet mysterious and humorous…all while remaining respectful of the craft. The gemstones, books, tarot decks, etc were INCREDIBLY low priced…I purchased a rather large Tigers Eye for $5 and told my husband while leaving that I felt like I should have given more. We will be back!! Thank you!

    Just a crazy story....my fiance and I visited the museum February 2022. While we were there I spotted a Venus of Willendorf replica statue-a fertility statue (I had always had a fascination with this artifact and had been looking for a replica on Etsy for awhile). During our tour I started to feel really sick with cramps out of nowhere. I almost passed out but I stayed for the tour. After the tour I bought the statue. Fast forward 4 days we are back home in Columbus and I was still sick, went to the dr and they did a pregnancy test. I was pregnant. I was shocked bc I was 39 and always thought u was infertile. Gave birth to a beautiful baby girl in October. Probably just a coincidence.

    I knew when I used the restroom & saw the sign “Employees must carve Slayer into their arms before returning to work”, that this was my type of establishment. They really know their stuff, and present it in an enjoyable fashion. Pop culture pieces, relics, art, and history galore. Make sure to explore all of the nooks and crannies! We had a great time in the museum and in the expansive gift shop. VERY pleased to see so much support for local zines and local artists too.

    This museum specifically focuses on the birth of Wiccan covens in the United States and the connection to the older beliefs of Europe. The guide was incredibly well educated on Buckland and his roll in helping to keep Pagan beliefs alive. The museum also takes advantage of its connection to other museums to bring in specialty exhibits to enhance their ability to tell the story of witchcrafts history. There is a shop attached to the museum that is filled with a large selection of books, new and used, collectibles, and spell craft tools. I hope to make it back to Cleveland to visit again soon.

    Passion, love for the craft, and knowledge of the art can be found here at the Buckland Museum of Witchcraft and Magic. Steven knows all and tells all within these walls. If this is your passion or a curiosity you're looking to expand on, Steven would love to help you every step of the way in your journey to new adventure that awates you here at the magical store. Ask him how his mandrake root and the history that's comes with it.

  • 3/5 Nothin Fancy Home C. 8 months ago on Google
    This would have been a 5 star review per little man if the Demon In A Box was there. The whole reason we made the trip over to Ohio was because he wanted to go to this Museum particularly to see a Demon In A Box that he saw on YouTube. They need to update their site to let folks know it is not even on the premises. Loved the Tea Reading room. Lots of odd things to see. The staff was great and loved the gentleman's story telling. He opened up with the history of how the Museum came to be. Would let you browse them pop in with other stories of particular items.

    Cool little museum in honor of Raymond Buckland…the man who was known as the father of American Witchcraft. A must see for those interested in varying degrees of the craft. I particularly liked the gift shop where I picked up a Fluorite tower at a relatively good price! Super friendly staff (both the curator and our tour guide)!!

    Evil Not Jesus PLEASE GO HERE!!! This place was super amazing and worth way more than the price of admission. So much history and awesome items here even if you're not a witch. Steven was an amazing tour guide and has a wealth of information. The world needs more places like this
