Kazoobie Kazoos, Beaufort SC

The right music can turn your road trip from a bore to so much more! On our way from Charleston to Savannah we decided to make a stop at a really quirky roadside attraction. As we were driving there I almost thought we made a wrong turn, we were entering a tech park full of uniform looking businesses. We got to the address and discovered we were right on track, there was Kazoobie Kazoos [12 John Galt Road Beaufort, SC 29906] just where it was supposed to be!

kazoo_factory_beaufortTo be honest, I was a bit apprehensive about taking the tour as we were on a bit of a time constraint – but I’m so glad we made the commitment. We walked around the Kazoo Museum learning about the history of this ingenious American invention, how it is made, and saw some really cool versions in the zany collection of kazoos on our own.

This was an amazing tour filled with silliness, one I am sure I will remember forever – don’t miss it! For just $5, this experience provided us with the gift that keeps on giving. Our kazoos kept us giggling the whole trip and now even at home, as we always play them in the car and remember our time in South Carolina.

    What fun! I can’t believe I used to live so close to this place, and never heard of it before! (The kazoo place, that is – I’ve been to Beaufort.) Sometimes the quirky places give us the best memories.
