lunch box museum

Ok, so unless you are an avid lunch box collector I have no reason to recommend this place. When I think of "museum" I think of all kinds of history to be included in what I'm about to experience. I think of ways to introduce and elaborate on what I'll be looking at. You WON'T find that here. It's literally a room with lunchboxes on the wall. My only amusement to this was trying to find a lunchbox that I owned as a child, other than that, it was completely boring and a waste of $5.00. My husband who enjoys "old and different" was also completely bored.

cost $5 to see lunch boxes. Over rated. It should be free. Seven older cars. Some furniture, but its in poor shape. The model airplane collection is free to see. I wonder if owner put his own place on trip advisor?????

A bit off the beaten path but fun. This place had my husband and I singing cartoon jingles all day. It isn't elaborate or posh by any means. The place was musty and had no air conditioning. But the attraction here is the nostalgia factor. Don't think kids would find this interesting. We left ours back at our hotel!

This is not for everyone, but if you like something out of the ordinary and a little bizarre then this is for you. At the very least, you will impress your friends with pictures of the largest collection of lunch boxes in the world. Of course, one of the most iconic boxes from my era was the Beatles lunch box, and it's there. I saw a "Flying Nun" lunchbox with Sally Field flying alongside a helicopter and casually conversing with the pilot that I really liked, and a "Daniel Boone" box showing Fess Parker fighting with the Indians that is too politically incorrect nowadays. For five bucks, great fun.

My husband and I had been looking forward to visiting the lunch box museum for several months, and we were so disappointed when we entered the back room of the building in which the museum is housed. There were rusty lunch boxes lining four walls and arranged alphabetically, which was quiet different than we expected. The scene did not measure up to the pictures we had seen in advertisements and on the travel channel. Admission was $5.00 each to walk around the room with no real commentary by the person who owns the museum. In fact, he left us after making a few general statements about the collection, and he never returned. To exit we walked through the antique store that was being run by a young man.

My husband & I were in Columbus for the day and I had actually planned to visit this museum. I like interesting places that are kind of out of the ordinary. We really enjoyed this museum! It was very different and really cool to see all of the lunchboxes of old days. We even saw a few that we owned and out parents owned! It is really more like a collection and not necessarily a museum, some informational signs or dates on the lunchboxes would be really cool. When we were there the owner was giving an informational bit to a college doing a video story on it, so we heard lots of neat info that wasn't anywhere in the room. It would be really cool to have some of that information somewhere to read, or maybe even have the owner do a little 10-15 min video you could view somewhere or even just have playing in the room. I think people would love that, we certainly would have! There is a small fee to get inside, $5 I think, but it was worth it for us. Would really like to see some info posted up though! Thanks!

Wondertwin powers activate...form of...the largest lunchbox collection in the world. They are all here. All the superheroes, all the cartoons, all the tv shows, all the child stars of the 70's. All of the Beegees are represented on separate lunchboxes. The Muppets...he's got them too. It's an overload of school lunch memories. Mr. T would pity the poor fool that doesn't visit and see the A-Team Luchbox. There are also Thermos's and TV trays. For $5.00 it was worth seeing. It is located in an antique store that also has lots of Coca-Cola memorabilia and classic cars. I believe there is a Southern Stoneware Museum in the store as well, separate charge though. Prepare to be taken back in time and you can purchase some of the lunchboxes that he has duplicates of. Prices averaged around $65.00 for a Partridge Family or Hong Kong Fooey Lunchbox. Enjoy your childhood and see the Lunchbox Museum.

Eh, I mean, I guess to each his own. But really, dude? Six bills to look at some cartoon tin boxes? It worries me that there is someone out there in the world planning a trip to Columbus to check this place out.

This "museum" was a bit of a disappointment. It certainly stirs up nostalgia for those 1950's 60's and 70's TV shows and movies but the presentation and setting was less than spectacular. The event is presented in the back room of an antiques warehouse so that "museum" feeling is absent. There are plenty of lunch boxes and TV tables to look at but the feeling would be more special if the boxes were actually in a museum setting. Nice place to visit though for only $5.

http://lunchboxmuseum.comAllen Woodall has the largest Lunchbox Museum in the world! A wonderful collection from nearly all decades. This collection has been recognized by the Smithsonian Institution and featured on The Food Network. You could spend an entire day exploring through this vast collection.Allen Woodall owns the station and the museum. His eyes tighten at the corners with glee as he talks about this passion for acquisition that has embraced everything from Coca-Cola memorabilia to Southern pottery.He began collecting lunch boxes many years ago, because, as he puts it, "they're just so neat!" He now has more than 1,000 lunch boxes and related items, including thermoses, coolers and even tobacco tins that doubled as lunch boxes.Located inside Rivermarket Antique Mall 318 10th Ave. Columbus, GA 31901

If you are bored and looking for something to do while passing time in Columbus you have to visit this museum. Don't go with high expectations and you will have a blast in this odd, somewhat creepy, antique store!

This place is about as unique as it gets- a lunch box museum is not something you come across in traveling. They have a very large collection and I can remember a lot of the lunch boxes once I saw them. I even spotted my beloved poodle lunch box that I had forgotten about. The flea market that surrounds the lunch box museum is filled with treasures, too. Staff very friendly.

Far more extensive than you would ever imagine. Literally, thousands of antique lunchboxes for sale. Although pricey, if you're in the neighborhood it's worth the visit. At the back of a strange "antique mall," initially it's hard to find. But once there, you'll enjoy shopping for other antiques.

Vacationing with some friends & kids and picked this as a joke to do something funny. This museum was so great! They have so many lunchboxes, TV trays and such. This place was like stepping back in time to when I was a kid. Our young kids all really enjoyed it too!

Happy to hand over the $5 bucks to see this huge collection of lunch boxes. Maybe because I loved my lunch boxes, it was about the only thing that I remember liking about school was buying a new lunch box, oddly the only one I remember was Scooby Doo.What really shocked me about the Lunch Museum was that it was inside an antique store. This antique store had pristine vintage cars, life size Ronald McDonald, cracker machines, drink machines, art and I managed to score a MC Hammer barbie doll. Hell Yeah! You can't touch this.
