The Giant Shoe Museum uses the term ‘museum’ loosely. In homage to peep show history, this museum uses that sideshow-style presentation to attract passersby to an array of giant shoes. The museum is located below the arcade level inside Seattle’s popular Pike Place Market. Visitors will recognize it by its playful boardwalk display announcing “The Greatest Shoe on Earth.” There are four wooden steps guests will use to look through the peepholes and see the giant shoes for 25 cents. Shoes are from an actual collection by Seattle resident, Danny Eskenazi. This is a must-see for those drawn to the odd and unusual, one-of-a-kind attractions.
