What People Are Saying About Wacko

In Short – Whether you're in the market for a glow-in-the-dark dashboard saint, Dirty Girl bubble bath or outsider art from the Deep South, this cavernous shop is the place to come. The staff is just as eclectic as the merchandise. Billy Shire oversees the gallery, and staffers will happily help you with everything from the pricey, mixed-media tableaux of Madonna and Child and flirty vintage Chinese posters to va-va-voom girlie cake-toppers and Coop's naughty "devil girl" stickers.
Editor's Tips
- Parking:
- There's no lot here, so grab a handful of change and keep your eyes peeled for a meter.
- When to Go:
- Once a month or so, adjoining gallery La Luz de Jesus throws a gala opening that's one hot party. Call the gallery for info.

best toys in town
by sarapork at Citysearch
The best part about shopping at Wacko is that when I am done I have to run to Home Depot and build another shelf on my wall. The Toys here are the best finds in town.
- Pros: best toys; art gallery
- Cons: I need more money

One of a kind store!
by goodfellamikec at Citysearch
One of the signature stores of Los Angeles. Wacko carries everything from incense and lava lamps to Tiki art and great toys. The crown jewel is the bookstore. This ain't Borders. Wacko carries books for the discerning reader: cult, film, classics, photography, death, and anything else. The staff is courteous and knowledgable; lots of fun. Parking on Hollywood Boulevard is possible, but your best bet is the neighborhood streets.
- Pros: Extensive selection, great staff, top atmosphere.
- Cons: Sometimes pricey, but the money will still leave your wallet.

Best novelty gift-shopping in LA
by amiegleed at Citysearch
Whever I need a gift for a friend (or myself), I head to Wacko. There is literally something for everyone--an impressive selection of books on high- and lowbrow topics, a stunning array of tiki barware, fine art, collectible toys, cards and stationery, wrapping paper, party favors; the list goes on and on. I always take my out-of-town guests here, as it is a guaranteed good time!
- Pros: Unique, Fun, Inspiring
- Cons: Parking, Sometimes crowded
