Dirty Things Tours
Has it been awhile since you’ve been out for a night of fun? Don’t answer that. There’s no need to air your dirty laundry here. These 50-minute tours cover a variety of topics that are all dirty in one way or another. Sometimes dirty means grimy or gross, like WWII gas masks, the disgusting ingredients of early paints, or the history of the Pure Food and Drug act of 1906. Other times dirty means … well, you know (wink wink). You’ll learn the mystery of eel reproduction, odd trends in Victorian era seduction, and much more. These tours present new information each year.
We will talk dirty, tell dirty jokes, and *gasp* even say a dirty word. We will! But don’t worry, nothing racier than an R-rated movie. These tours are for those who are at least 18 years old. We’ve done all the dirty work to arrange a great night out.

If you’ve had fun on one of these tours before, join us again! Our 2024 Dirty Things Tour features ALL NEW topics! Don’t give us that dirty look: these tours are perfect for Valentine’s Day–or a Galentine’s celebration. For a good time call: (402) 461-2399. Walk-ins for tours only welcome if space allows.

Space is limited, register today!
