Paranormal Books & Curiosities and The Paranormal Museum are located in the heart of Asbury Park’s historic downtown shopping district.
OK, so you made it to Asbury Park – now what?
If you’re not familiar with the area, you’re in for a treat. Asbury Park is rich with history, haunted locations, and great places to explore. From The Paranormal Museum, you’re just six blocks from the Atlantic Ocean and the iconic boardwalk. The historic and architecturally significant buildings along the boardwalk are well worth your time.
You’ll also be right in Downtown Asbury Park, home to fantastic shops, restaurants, and nightlife, including several famously active locations. For the best overview of the area’s haunted history, we recommend the Ghosts & Legends Tour if you’re able.
If you can’t make the tour and just want to check out some cool (and occasionally cold) spots, be sure to visit our friends:
- Parlor Gallery: An active location and a beautifully curated contemporary art gallery.
- Reyla: Fantastic drinks and tapas, plus a reputation for paranormal activity.
- Barrio Costero: Located in the haunted former Asbury Park Press building, serving excellent cocktails with Mexican fusion flair.
Parking
There’s no way around it, parking can be challenging in Asbury Park. If you can take public transportation, that’s ideal. If not, be sure to download the local parking app so you can manage your meter remotely. A few reliable options include the municipal lot on Main Street and the Transportation Center. And remember: if you see lines on the street, paid parking is in effect.
