However, John Preble himself is usually running the ticket desk/gift shop- he’s great to have a chat with, and he’s been known to let artists in for free. The Abita Mystery House is open every day of the week, and only costs $3 to get in. Mixed in with the junk are unique folk art creations, like a jazz funeral diorama with moving pieces and a giant sculpture of a “bassigator.” Bring quarters if you’d like to have a go on the vintage pinball machines. The owner and creator, John Preble, built the museum from outbuildings and filled it with the most random items you can imagine. There may not be much going on in Abita Springs, but it’s home to a classic roadside attraction- the Abita Mystery House. The tiny town is located across Lake Pontchartrain, about a 45-minute drive from downtown. For those visiting New Orleans with access to a car, a side trip to Abita Springs is a must.
