    Such a fascinating place! Truly a talented couple that have turned their personal collections and creations into a museum and showcase they share with the public with enthusiasm. Definitely a worthwhile stop if in the area!

    I can't even begin to tell you how amazing this place is! I brought my daughter to Pittsburgh to visit a Mortuary Science School and she found this place online and asked if we could go. This was right up her alley! We had the best time and Velda was one of the most interesting and nicest people we've ever met. My daughter hasn't stopped talking about her since we left. We hope to come back and bring the rest of our family. Our description of the things we saw will never do it justice. This puts any of the Ripley's experiences we've seen to shame. I can't believe that anybody who has been here could leave anything less than a 5 star review! They run on donations but could easily charge a set cost for this experience as it's like no other.

    Trundle Manor was amazing and creepy!!! It's full of human and pet parts, A secret door, Weapons, Autographs, Inventions, Dolls, Legos built of their manor, Stuffed animals including their own cat stuffed in the living room that they pet every day, A birth chair, A old lady painting where her eyes follow you and more!!!

    Bizarre little tourist tour that I found from reviews like this. You do have to contact the owners ahead of time to arrange a private tour time, this was not a problem at all, and they were very responsive. This is their personal collection, in their personal home that they actually live in!

    Trundle Manor is an experience and no mistake. You could spend hours here and never see everything. There are so many miniatures of the rooms you're standing in that you can easily miss or not recognize that are art in and of themselves. If you like taxidermy, weird old medical equipment, art, weird art, the Addams Family, Legos, things in jars collected ethically and with stories attached, cyberpunk, coffins-as-couches, velvet, and the classiest host and hostess that ever stepped out of another century, Trundle Manor is the place for you. It runs on donations, so call for a tour and bring cash and your childlike sense of wonder.

    What a fun and eclectic place to visit! We enjoyed our tour, the stories and surprises from the moment we arrived. It’s a neat and unusual show of two wonderful, creative and ingenious minds. We’d definitely visit again. Free, by appt only, donations accepted.

    It’s impossible to take it all in on one visit. It’s Weird, exciting and loads for fun. You’ve never seen a home like this. If you haven’t experienced the oddities of Trundle Manor for yourself, you’re completely missing out. It’s a must see for locals and visitors alike.

    Totally Rad little spot to visit. The owners were extremally pleasant and excited to show off their collection of oddities. Really a unique experience and something we will remember for a long time. My pics don't do it justice and something you have to see in person to appreciate. Remember to visit the website and text them ahead of time to secure a time slot. The tour is one on one and while small it's is definitely packs a punch.

    What an amazing collection!! I'm so glad the owners chose to charge it with the world! The tour was super fun and it was awesome to see the amazing unique creations and the entire collection.

    What a fun and intriguing place to visit! Was able to schedule and get in the next day and they even let me take photos for my photography class. Such a sweet woman who was so knowledgeable on everything there. Loved getting to see something so unique and had a blast! Photos are from my iPhone not camera. Thanks again for the great experience!

I know LOADS of artists, goths, alt kinds of folks that ISIS the right place for. keep your eyes out for the various mermaids!

    This place was a very pleasant surprise given the large amount of odd and unique exhibits. And our hostess/guide was awesome, spending a lot of time with us and answering all questions.

  • 5/5 Nicole H. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place. Zelda was very nice and inviting. Tons of awesome things.

  • 5/5 Kelly L. 9 months ago on Google
    This house is an absolute must see. So, so much to look at. The Lady of the Trundle Manor is very knowledgeable, super friendly. Her and her husband are incredibly talented artists, as well as her in-laws. There’s a lot of their work on display and the pieces are gorgeous. It’s a little hot, wear cool clothes out go on a cooler day. So glad we went.

    Anton hates low paid physical workers and considers anyone who questions his hate for them to be harassment. I'd avoid going based on principle.

  • 5/5 Toddalena l. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best collections I have seen. Being the owner of a death museum with a large collection myself it takes alot to impress me and I can say I am truly impressed. Hands down one of the best displays I have seen A+++++++++++. I would give the experience more stars if allowed.

    Loved this place. Family was in town for the weekend and it rained. Contacted them for a last minute tour and they got us in for a last minute tour! She was great and my family loved her. Worst thing about it was we couldn't spend more time with her and all her oddities... Loved looking at their collection of oddities.

  • 5/5 Cassie M. 1 year ago on Google
    I loved my experience here and Velda was a great tour guide!

  • 5/5 Catherine M. 1 year ago on Google
    This place was fab! The tour was great & I would definitely recommend. So many creative & inventive pieces (both incredibly talented), even down to the way the kitchen appliances are disguised. Esoteric and fun; loved all the oddities and unique artifacts. Wish we had something ghastly to bring for the collection. I'm sure you could visit several times and still spot something new.

  • 5/5 Janeka J. 1 year ago on Google
    You will not be disappointed!! Just an incredible attraction, you'll want to come back because there's just so much to take in! So much to see and so many interesting stories to accompany them! I'm obsessed and I'm sure you will be too!

  • 5/5 Meghan 1 year ago on Google
    A total gem for things to do in Pittsburgh. An endless amount of oddities and taxidermy to see. I'm sure you could visit multiple times and see new things everytime. I loved seeing all of the personal touches done by Velda and her husband. Would recommend to anyone who finds themselves in town.

  • 5/5 Micheal S. 1 year ago on Google
    Had the BEST time at Trundle Manor! Velda was a wonderful tour guide, ready to answer any questions and we had a fantastic conversation. Thank you for helping my fiancée and I celebrate our engagement with you! We will certainly be back this summer

  • 5/5 Kassandra D. 1 year ago on Google
    A MUST SEE if you're interested in oddities, gothic or victorian style, steam punk, or vintage animal parts. Such a welcoming and friendly tour that embraces all things weird! One of the best spots for tourists and eccentrics alike 🖤

  • 5/5 Cassie C. 1 year ago on Google
    So much fun! And what a collection! Velda showed us around and we had a great time hearing about all of their treasures. Will return again someday.

  • 5/5 Lynn D. 1 year ago on Google
    Went a few years ago. Wonderful & fascinating hosts. Loved the garage and the friends tumor.

  • 5/5 Leo L. 1 year ago on Google

    I took a tour today with my family and it was absolutely amazing! We weren’t sure what to expect fully before coming in but it exceeded all of our expectations! There were oddities from floor to ceiling in each touring area of this beautiful home. The guide (owner of the home) was extremely lovely and was so knowledgeable about each item in her home. She was so bubbly and energetic and wanted us to have the best experience as possible. I will definitely plan on coming back! We left a money donation but I wish we would have came with something weird or creepy ourselves. A lot of their items have been donated by them, some by tourists which always ads to the fun! Taking an Uber or driving would be the best option to get here. They have some serious hills that you have to concur if you decide to walk from the bus stop (very doable though). 20/10 experience!
