Looking for that stuffed wombat head you've always thought would look perfect over the mantle? Paxton Gate is like a zoo full of exotic animals – big (giraffe!) and small (mouse!) – only that, at Paxton Gate all the animals are dead. Bugs and butterflies too, all expertly stuffed and mounted (I like trying getting up close, staring deep into the fur and seeing if I can see where the bullet went in). Plants, dead animal art, books, premium looseleaf tea, and other oddities make this place truly unique. Classes in the art of taxidermy if you're interested in the same.
