I used to work for an airline. For fun I flew up to see this museum. Marvin was still alive then and I met the man. He was so happy that someone flew from so far away just to see him and his oddities that he gave me a guided tour and all he asked was that I sign his book. One of the nicest people I have ever met in my life. I didn't spend a quarter but I bought tshirts from him to remember the trip by. I still have that great Tshirt and the great memory of meeting him. Thank you Jacob for stopping in. I know Marvin would have treated you well if he were still around.
The Green Cross Code is a road safety measure created in the UK to help remind people to cross the road safely. They even had a series of PSAs promoting it starring David Prowse, the actor who played Darth Vader, as Green Cross Man, teaching kids proper road crossing safety.
This place was a huge part of my childhood growing up in Michigan. I have such fond memories of this place. I went back there a few years ago and walking into the door felt like walking back into time. Such a unique and wonderous place, truly one of a kind!
I honestly love stuff like this, I wish we had one in the UK, I was always the kid who loved dolls / puppets / robots and everyone else is like “tHeYrE sO ScArY” 😂😂
I absolutely love Marvin's. Go here a couple of times a year to play pinball and mess around with whatever they've got out. Happy to see you in Michigan!
This place is the whole reason I found your channel! Searching for automatons and watched your visit years ago now, stayed for your personality and adventure. Still great to see!
This has to be one of the coolest thing I have seen in a long time. Like a Circus, Game room and Museum all in one. Some of that is creepy, but love it. Thanks for the tour. Cheers from Florida.
This is one of my absolute favorite places that you visit. I love automatons. Love your channel so much. I am along for the ride with you every day on that long lonesome road.
Wow…I had totally forgotten about the single rider Ferris Wheel…I used to ride those as a child when I went to the grocery store with my mom or dad…Thank You for restoring a memory for me…
My best friend lives in Michigan and took me there several years ago on a visit. What an amazing place! Thanks for sharing. This brought back great memories!
Some of those egg machines brought back memories as a kid. The monkey one is supposed to shake up and down like its jumping. I remember the spinning chicken one. Also rode that ferris musical wheel when I was a kid at a Chuck E. Cheese, it had Chuck the mouse instead of that clown though.
Being British I recognised the Green Cross code immediately. We had it drilled into us as kids. Think, stop, look, listen etc etc. It's so out of context in an egg dispensing machine 😂😂
That place was great, some o f those reminded me of the old penny Arcade they use to have on Main Street USA in WDW. I always loved going in there when I was a kid, it was a great place to go when there was thunderstorm. I miss that and the magic shop too. Loved this video keep up the sensational work!!
I love your channel! So much cool stuff to see in there! Amazing eccentric collection!! Love the singing alien I’d be stopping to see everything you stop at!! Thank you for what you do
That mini Ferris wheel used to be at Major Magic’s pizza (just like chicly cheese before there was a chicly cheese!! In Toledo Ohio. My sister and I would go for our birthdays when we were little!!! That was my favorite little ride!!!!
The chicken is Helen Henney, and the other chickens are the Warblets. I forgot the Pig's name, He used to have Chuckie and Pasqualli as well, but he sold those to a collector. That vibrating hand is supposed to rest on your shoulder or back, it's a rather elaborate back massager.
It’s amazing to see you visit a place I’ve actually been! Wish I could’ve seen you there! I hope you enjoyed such a chaotic but amazing place! Edit: the three black crow looking birds were first and I’m pretty sure the lady birds were a revamp or replacement for them! One of my favorite animatronics from Chuck E. Cheese that I never actually got to see perform. They are called The Warblettes! I don’t know if the girl ones had a different name
What an amazing place. Would spend all my coin on the pinball machines . Some of those machines you tried out are very old and it is wonderful to see they still work . Loved this. Keep Safe ❤Keep Well❤
3:43 - that would be Helen Henny and beside her is the colored Warbalettes. Also at 4:01 we have Madame Oink and beside her is the original Warbalettes, along time ago when Marvin, the owner was alive. He also had Chuck E Cheese and Pasqually but he sold them if I remember right
Dude, you went to a place from my childhood!! I hope you had a blast there!! It's an awesome slice of memories including taking bike trips there all the time!!
I used to go to the3se place when i was younger. This place was near my grandparents house. Unfortunately they passed away last year.. at least my grandmother, my grandfather passed away few years before that. This place brings back so much memories.
Amazing that those PTT bots are still there! Back when I was in the community there was quite a lot of discussions on those bots and trying to get the owner of Marvin's to sell them, This was back in the 2010's. It's amazing they're still there and look virtually the same.
Wow! In my hometown. I wish we could know your road plan so when you are in our area we could maybe meet you on occasion. Glad you came to Farmington Hills!
Great to see you visit this place again & cool to see some of the new stuff/stuff you didn't show us last time, but it's pretty sad to see several of the attractions are broken, namely Mr. Bingeandpurge, Crankenstein, & the monkey band.
I was there a few months ago and Bingenpurge worked as intended, as much as I wish he didn't since it's so gross. Maybe he just needed a refill at the time of recording? Unfortunately, the gigawatts dude didn't send any electricity when I was there
Tally Hall was the name of the food court before it was torn down and made into a strip mall. Marvin was in back of Tally Hall. There were other stores to the side of Tally Hall. Those are also gone and replaced with more national type stores. Its a cool place.
Again, I can't belive they made the album into a real place
Dawg it was a place first

Remember it well.
i met him once in person and he told me it was the best thing he ever did such a shame he died tho

I used to go here as a kid. Rip Marvin. He was a great man.
I'm so glad this place survived the pandemic. It's my favorite place that you've been to.
Honestly, you’re a braver man than I am when it comes to things like this. Some of those machines creep me out!
Lol so I'm not the only one who gets slightly creeped out by those things. The place still looks fun though
Really ? I love things like this !!
Laughing Sailor was the worst.

@@darklordojeda everything else wasn't all too creepy to me, but laughing sailor was the creepiest
You've done it again, Jacob. Another place on the bucket list.
It's a blast!
Jacob you’re like 20 minutes from me! We were scared this place was going get shut down during the pandemic!
I grew up only 20 minutes from there in Oak Park.
I absolutely love Marvin's. Go here a couple of times a year to play pinball and mess around with whatever they've got out. Happy to see you in Michigan!
This place is the whole reason I found your channel! Searching for automatons and watched your visit years ago now, stayed for your personality and adventure. Still great to see!
same thing here lol I love animatronics and old timey machines
This has to be one of the coolest thing I have seen in a long time. Like a Circus, Game room and Museum all in one. Some of that is creepy, but love it. Thanks for the tour. Cheers from Florida.
This is legit my favorite place me and my friends are gonna be there tommorow on our way to the Dead Fetus concert
The Burt Reynolds bit really cracked me up 🤣 great video!
That's the name of my favourite album
AYY SAME
This is one of my absolute favorite places that you visit. I love automatons. Love your channel so much. I am along for the ride with you every day on that long lonesome road.
I went here a few years ago as it's only an hour away from me, and it's like the best place to go for fun for all ages.
Henrietta is wrong, but close. it is actually Helen Henny. And the three bird looking things are the Warblettes. The pig lady is "Madame Oink".
So much fun AGAIN!!!!. Childhood memories a plenty!!
Wow…I had totally forgotten about the single rider Ferris Wheel…I used to ride those as a child when I went to the grocery store with my mom or dad…Thank You for restoring a memory for me…
I've been going there since I was 6 and I still enjoy this place.
I played that chicken game with a live chicken when I was younger!
Me too!
My best friend lives in Michigan and took me there several years ago on a visit. What an amazing place! Thanks for sharing. This brought back great memories!
Lol the laughing sailor had the bee from Bee movie in it
THIS IS THE AESTHETIC.
Its janky, bright, colorful, and rusty.
I definitely need to visit this place in my life.
I was Marvin’s first employee. Next time you are going to go there let me know and I’ll give you my little tour.
Great video Jacob, love these kinds of attractions.
You know what what would be cool?
If a band named after a way of counting with lines would make a killer album about this and disappear forever.
I totally forgot about the Chuck E Cheese applauding hands!! I haven’t seen those since I was like 6, so 30 years ago 🤯
15:01 THE CATALINA WINE MIXER!!!
I recognize that song!!
Some of those egg machines brought back memories as a kid. The monkey one is supposed to shake up and down like its jumping. I remember the spinning chicken one. Also rode that ferris musical wheel when I was a kid at a Chuck E. Cheese, it had Chuck the mouse instead of that clown though.
Cool story bro
I'd probably spend the whole day there and try everything, lol
Love following your journey through michigan i haven’t been here yet but really need to
Thank you Mr. Carpetbagger!! It's always a joy to hang with you. Enjoy your holiday!
This looks like such a fun place! Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. You are awesome and sending you all the positive vibes :)
That was really fun. Thanks, Jacob ❣️

Hi Jacob, I used to live down the street from here! Now, I'm in FL
This place is amazing! Thank you for showing us all those great mechanical wonders

Best place to go to in the area! Thank you for completing my memories by running the machines I regrettably overlooked!
So happy you stopped here! sweet video!
These were some fascinating old animatronics.
I love your channel!
So much cool stuff to see in there!
Amazing eccentric collection!!
Love the singing alien
I’d be stopping to see everything you stop at!!
Thank you for what you do
That was fun to watch! Don’t forget to recycle the plastic eggs 😉
That mini Ferris wheel used to be at Major Magic’s pizza (just like chicly cheese before there was a chicly cheese!! In Toledo Ohio. My sister and I would go for our birthdays when we were little!!! That was my favorite little ride!!!!
"Ask the Brain" was the best. Thanks for sharing!
Just watched your visit from several years ago.... you've come a long way. You're commentary is priceless

Marvin's is awesome, didn't know about the place until seeing it on your channel once before.
It’s amazing to see you visit a place I’ve actually been! Wish I could’ve seen you there! I hope you enjoyed such a chaotic but amazing place!

One could visit this place a hundred times and see something new each time
I did laugh out loud at the Polka twins and the picture of you and the mouse in the car.. what fun.. I wanna go
What an amazing place. Would spend all my coin on the pinball machines . Some of those machines you tried out are very old and it is wonderful to see they still work . Loved this. Keep Safe ❤Keep Well❤
I've seen you go to many horror themed attractions, but that Laughing Sailor was, by far the scariest thing I've seen on this channel.
feels good to see jacob enjoying the arcade ❤
Those 3 birds are called the Chicettes Jacob!!
This is my favorite place of all time

That's pretty nice they still got the pizza time theater characters here but I did wish they would perform
Uncle Oscar sounds like he was voiced by Mel Brooks

The green cross code, is a British thing, invented by the safety Committee to raise awareness for children crossing the roads in the UK.
We’re in the mini mall, workin the carnival, we like to play it all, welcome to tally hall!
We were just there on Monday! Gave a quarter to the poor, hungry anteater as well.
There's nothing that makes me happier than when you go to places I've been to myself. Hope you like MI
Ooooooh! I've been waiting for you to go back here!!!!!
Used to go here all the time. Bout to go this weekend
Glad you made it to Michigan!
Tally hall, someone?! I really did just know about that true tally hall, and now its just real.. 🖤😌
This place is pretty awesome I love all the little complex machines. Might have to travel to see this one someday!
This place looks fun.
Brilliant! The perfect start to my weekend 🤗 thanks Jacob and best wishes ☀️
P.S its Marie he is looking in to it....If there's a way he will look into changing the current situation.. Marie XX
@@mariehendrick7173 that's cool and thanks for letting me know 😊
I'm so glad they found a new home!! If you have never been You Should Go!! I have an amazing story about Marvin!! 😻🤩😉
Some of those machines are pretty creepy and weird. If I were nearby, I'd go just to play that Rush pinball!
What a wonderful place!
Another great video. Enjoy seeing places like that.
I love your channel. So many places you take us-really appreciate it and enjoy it
That was fun!!
The airplanes mechanism looks like a device from an old slaughter house. Super awesome video! 👍👍
pls sign a petition! they wanna replace it w a grocery store!!
Wow! In my hometown. I wish we could know your road plan so when you are in our area we could maybe meet you on occasion. Glad you came to Farmington Hills!
hey! mr. tarheal!.... good to see you sir!!!

Video: his hypnotizing gaze

That’s a really cool museum Jake! So many Ms in that museum title and it should be a movie about it.
Theres an album with the same title made by some guys that grew up in the area the band is called tally hall and i lovvve themmm
Very interactive arcade games created by marvin
Yes it is because I live next to Detroit it is a good place I wish I could come see you

An hour away, and never heard of it!
Great video! Love your Michigan videos especially!
I had no idea Tally Hall was talking about an actual Museum
Tally Hall was the name of the food court before it was torn down and made into a strip mall. Marvin was in back of Tally Hall. There were other stores to the side of Tally Hall. Those are also gone and replaced with more national type stores. Its a cool place.
That place is soo awesome. It's one of the things that makes me proud from Michigan haha!
marvin's mechanical museum looks fun.
Stop, Look and Listen, Those was the days of the 80’s Green cross code,,
