The Dinosaur Store, Cocoa Beach

Do you love dinosaurs? Do you love ancient cultures? Do fossils, gold and crystals make you happy? If you answered yes to any of these questions this is absolutely the place for you! I have been to this museum many times and used to go to the store before the museum ever existed. I knew when my nephew was coming to town that I had to take him here, what six year old doesn’t love dinosaurs?! Not only did he get to see The best exhibit ever, he also got to have the time of his life in their arcade. Even the adults were having a blast! This place has everything! They have a beautiful store with priceless artifacts and replications, a stunning two story exhibit of dinosaurs in ancient Egypt and many other cultures, they have an arcade and a room with so many living reptiles that all looked very well taken care of with clean cages. Truly, as a resident, this place is such a rare and beautifully done adventure. This is the spot to take anyone who loves history, animals and having a looking glass into our past.

They have a very cool gift shop but also can be extremely pricey (fossils and what not). The museum itself is still enjoyable. Not really the best for kids but if you bring them don't expect to stay long in the museum (they will just want the game room) if you are interested in reading the history you will enjoy this. Overall we enjoyed the experience but the game room/reptile room kinda saved it. Maybe some repairs to the game but the games are free with admission to the room.
