    WACKO is a fun gift shop, you never know what strange trinkets you'll find each time you pass through the door. Also an art gallery in the back.

    If you're looking for an alternative gift, oddball ephemera, or a unique book, this is the place. It also houses the amazing La Luz De Jesus art gallery in the back. Easy to spend a pay check here. :)

    The most fun gift store in LA. From a range of books to a whole variety of bobbleheads, latex figures and even an art gallery in the back this place embodies kitch at its finest.

    Wacko has everything from action figures, cool books, Tiki glasses and tons of bobble heads. If it is strange and cool, you can find it at Wacko. Don't forget to check out the art gallery in the back. Read more

    This is a strange little shop that is worth mentioning. On the outside it is covered with brightly colored psychedelic images that looks as eye catching as clowns pants. It really is odd but great.

    Very eclectic mix of items. Some are definitely not for the kids. But a great place to pick up tiki mugs

    In 1924 Walt Disney rented this vacant lot for $10 a month. Here he did live action filming of child actors for his Alice Comedies, an early film series combining live action with hand animation.

    Effing hot as fack! Packed as fack too! But it is a Saturday afternoon. My suggestion if you can, come on a weekday during the afternoon, skip the long hot lines and see/get some sick wacky gifts:)
