Plan your visit!
Parking
The Medicine Factory has its own gravel parking lot just past the building, between it and the railroad.
Parking is also permitted on the street.
If the entrance is open to the raised parking lot just before (to the left of) the Medicine Factory, you may park there as well!
Please be wary while parking at night and stash all visible goodies.
Free to visit
Monster Market is totally free to visit!
We do not collect admission to enter the store; please be wary of anyone online claiming to sell tickets or soliciting booth spots.
Most all of our in-store events are free as well! Please note Monster Collage Party asks attendees to register (for free) in advance online, and the Dinner in Hell event is a paid ticketed event with a limited number of seats.
Accessibility
The main entrance to the Medicine Factory is up a 1/2 level staircase.
There is a secondary entrance on the right back corner of the building that anyone may use on request. Wheelchair users can access this easiest from the front sidewalk, following the path along the building.
Please call or text Lauren at 901-258-2185 to open this entrance as it is normally locked!
