Hi, I’m Michael Johnson with Film Compass - and I had the awesome opportunity to explore the many strange and weird places in Austin. So sit back, grab some popcorn, and discover what makes this city so weird.
1. Chicken Sh*t Bingo
Located at the Little Longhorn Saloon, this is the weirdest game of bingo you’ll perhaps ever play. This game of bingo with a twist is exactly what it sounds like. Patrons buy randomly selected numbers and line up around a large bingo board to see which number the chicken will do his business on.
2. The Cathedral of Junk
Standing quietly in the backyard of a man on Lareina Drive - this whimsical masterpiece of art is just minutes from downtown Austin. The Cathedral of Junk is three stories and over 60 tons of junk. It’s one of the weirdest places in Austin that you can see because it’s incredibly design and absolute magnitude are something you just can’t truly appreciate until you walk through it’s halls.
3. Hippie Hollow Park
This park is famous for being Texas’s one and only clothing optional public park. Originally known as McGregor County Park, Hippie Hollow is located on the shore of Lake Travis in northwest Austin.
4. Shopping on South Congress Avenue
The vibrant strip of South Congress, also known as SOCO, is filled with weird shops and things to do. This iconic street has been helping to keep Austin weird for decades and is the perfect place to window shop or grab a bite to eat.
5. Peter Pan Mini Golf
Whenever I think of a fun chill night out in Austin I think of Peter Pan Mini Golf. It’s one of the best things to do in Austin and they even allow BYOB! You’ll commonly see lots of people on a Saturday night having a party!
