🦴 Must-Visit in Madison | A Shop That’s Open Only by Luck!

I first visited this place a year ago, and it’s absolutely on my "if-you-come-to-Madison-I’ll-take-you-here" list – a hidden gem! But beware: it’s rarely open (only for limited periods each year), so catching it requires luck 🍀. Why is it special? This shop sells dinosaur bones 🦖, mammoth fossils 🦣, and other ancient treasures – yes, you read that right! The owner (a super friendly guy) works with museums on excavations but isn’t making much money from it, so he sells some of his finds in a legal gray zone (but not illegal!). He joked about being "a little bad," but he’s actually awesome – last time, he showed me his private collection (including a vintage Apple computer!) and patiently explained dinosaur trivia. This time, he even gifted me a small fossil and printed a dinosaur illustration on his old Apple printer! 🖨️ When the shop’s closed, he’s out digging bones. He’ll likely stay open until June – so hurry! Don’t miss the $10 mystery fossil balls – each contains dinosaur bone fragments with info cards (perfect unique gifts!). I bought four for friends back home – the best Madison souvenir ever! 🎁 📍 Address: 1330 Williamson St #HiddenGems #StudyAbroadLife #USALife #Wisconsin #MadisonWI #DinosaurLovers 🦕✨
