We stumbled upon a hidden gem during our trip—the town of Point Pleasant, featuring the Mothman Museum, Point Pleasant Trading Company, Mothman Blacklight Mini-Golf, and What’s the Scoop. All within walking distance of each other.
Mothman Blacklight Mini-Golf is a vibrant, blacklight-lit adventure featuring sci-fi props, sound effects, and murals that bring the Mothman legend to life. Each hole offers a new experience, and the 9th hole, in particular, was a standout with its creative design.
The Mothman Museum allowed us to delve into the local folklore and history surrounding the Mothman sightings. The museum offers a fascinating glimpse into the events of 1966 and the cultural impact they’ve had on the town.
We treated ourselves to delicious ice cream at What’s the Scoop. Their creatively themed “Mothman” is not only tasty but also perfect for snapping some fun photos.
We also explored the local shops, including the Point Pleasant Trading Company, which offers a variety of cryptid-themed merchandise and souvenirs. We walked away with lots of fun shirts, buttons, and a fluffy Mothman plushie.
This unexpected detour turned into a memorable adventure, and we’re already planning our return for the Mothman Festival.
