The World Oddities Expo

Fall Page —

Let your curiosity lead the way! The World Oddities Expo (WOE) returns October 10-11, 2026 — and this year, its celebration of the bizarre and macabre heads to a new location: the Baltimore Convention Center in Baltimore, MD.

This traveling oddities festival welcomes curious minds of all ages, and children 12 and under enjoy free admission with an accompanying adult! Just know the content is delightfully dark by design — think taxidermy, insects, and live performances that include burlesque — so parents may want to peek at WOE’s Facebook or Instagram first to see if it’s a fit for their crew.

From the Lost Curio Marketplace, packed with macabre art, jewelry, home decor, and peculiar treasures from artists and small businesses, to the Oddity Ink Parlour, featuring on-site tattoo artistry in partnership with Villain Arts, every corner offers a new fascination. Attendees can step into WOE Labs for hands-on, fee-based workshops in taxidermy, butterfly pinning, diorama terrariums, and more — including an owl pellet dissection class open to all ages.

The WOE Theater hosts guest speakers sharing their knowledge on a variety of curious topics, while live entertainment brings music, live painting, and more to the stage. Plus, the De∙Formed Exhibit invites attendees to walk through a collection of real, ethically sourced animal anomalies (available as a ticket add-on).

Costumes are welcome (no weapons of any kind), and only ADA-defined service animals are permitted. Tickets are available online or at the door; VIP tickets offer early access to the show floor before the crowds. Check the convention center’s parking & directions page before heading out.

The People’s House: A White House Experience


By DullesMoms, Sept 2026

Just one block from the White House, The People’s House: A White House Experience invites families to explore the history and traditions of America’s most famous residence in an interactive, engaging way. This 33,000-square-foot museum spans three floors and offers hands-on exhibits, detailed recreations, and immersive digital displays. General admission is free (with a suggested $15 donation to support their educational mission), but advance timed-entry pass reservations are highly recommended.

Your family is invited to step inside a full-scale replica of the Oval Office, explore a meticulously crafted model of the White House, and experience the beauty of the recreated Rose Garden. Enjoy interactive exhibits, like “A Day in the White House,” where kids can follow a President’s schedule, attend a virtual press conference, and even deliver a speech from a presidential podium!

The First Pets exhibit offers a fun look at the furry and feathered companions who have lived in the White House, while the Family Theater showcases historic presidential moments on screen.

Since its 2024 opening, this privately funded attraction has earned national recognition, including a spot on USA Today’s “10 Best New Museums” list!

Good to know before you go:

  • While the official address is 1700 Pennsylvania Ave NW, the visitor entrance is located around the corner on 17th Street NW.
  • Passes to The People’s House are independent and do not grant entry into the actual White House or West Wing (which require advance requests through your congressional representative).
  • All visitors must pass through airport-style security screening upon entry, and guests aged 17 and under must be accompanied by an adult.
