Are you kidding me with this place? I’d say it’s a kid haven but I’m a full grown adult and didn’t want to leave. My kids, 4 and 6, were encouraged to touch and discover things all over the store-museum. There is SO much to see. I was worried it would be all hokey little dinosaur toys (they do have some toys) but we were looking at real fossils, resin encased bugs, shark teeth and more. There’s a sand pit to dig for fossils, you can buy bags of sand to sift for gems or even buy a geode and have it cracked open in store. It’s just an interactive place. They offer classes and I definitely plan to enroll my kids. I didn’t catch his name, but the man who runs this place is insanely knowledgeable and happy to share his facts with customers.

Wide selection of merchandise. I was treated like a dignified guest in a museum. Staff were plentiful and acted more as guides than salespeople. When i asked to use the restroom the toilet paper roll holder was a bronze dinosaur head! The dedication to make the place feel cool was amazing. The staff would walk up and actively engage in sharing knowledge with a bright attitude. I was impressed. I am visiting family for the holiday and am dragging my family back because I am so excited with this...
