    Fair value, innocent fun.
    Kellen_P, May 2024
    A fun little stop for families with younger children (2-6). We spent about an hour there and our kids walked away with several days' worth of noise making fun.
    Fun

    If you've never been to the Kazoo factory, you should go. We were warmly greeted by our tour guide with a kazoo. At the end of the tour you get to assemble your own kazoo and learning a song.
    Interesting and fun--"Keep Calm and Kazoo On"

    We had a great time seeing all the different kazoos from years ago, learning how they are made, and then making our own. Our tour guide was full of energy and information. There was also a nice gift shop with lots of fun kazoos, etc. Amazing that all the plastic kazoos come from this business in Beaufort, SC1
    A history you wouldn't know

    Unique Experience in this Hidden Gem

    Took my mother to this museum for her 88th birthday accompanied by my 25-year-old daughter and her boyfriend. We loved the family feeling of this business and the welcome we received. The talents shared and the behind-the-scenes tour were great. Making our won kazoo and sharing a quick tune together were icing on the 88th birthday cake! Thank you for offering this experience!
    A must see if in the area!

    Wonderful presentation and interesting tour, topped off by the making and playing of our very own Kazoos!

    Worth a visit. Fun!

    Excellent tour guide. Her genuine love for kazoos and pride in the company was contagious. The collection of kazoos through the years and the history is presented very well. I love the American flag created with over 1000 kazoos! My visit was lots of fun.

    A lot of fun, great for all ages and the team puts on quite a show for the visitors. Our favorite was the video with the Kazoo people. Great gifts for kids and people you know that are still young at heart
    Delightful, Whimsical Experience!
    Charmaine_T, Jul 2023
    What a delightful and whimsical experience! Loved the films and especially the demonstration of all the various horns, whistles and sound effects equipment. Bought an expanded kazoo and trombone kazoo for musician friends.
    Great fun!

    Thank you for taking the time to say these kind words!!!
    It is worth the trip.

    It was a lot of fun. The grand kids loved it. Even the 16 year old. The history was interesting and the factory tour was prefect. Everything took 45 minutes and it was well worth it. We came from Hilton Head. It's not that far from Bluffton or Beaufort either. You walk away with your personalize Kazoo and there were very interesting items in the gift shop.

    Karan_H, Sep 2022
    Enjoyed seeing how the little paper was installed before the last piece of the kazoo was pressed and then how the final touches were added to the kazoo.
