Awesome finds!
Awesome place! Walking into the building through the store, they have so many amazing pieces including collectibles, fossils (authentic and replicas, big and small, ranging about $30 to thousands), jewelry and novelty items! There’s skeletons, bones, teeth, claws, geodes, stuffed animals, decor, dish-ware and more! I really like they all have written when and where it was found. Further back there’s the “Adventure Zone” which I didn’t go into because I ran out of time but wanted to see as they have listed there’s live alligators. I spent about 2hrs between store and museum (read just about every write-up on the exhibits). Find the museum counter off to the right, pay entrance and enter the elevator to the exhibits on the 2nd and 3rd floors. Very well put together exhibits from the write-up (had time period and location!), to the display, the wall art and flow from one exhibit to the next. Could use some updating and more interactive parts, but overall was very informative and entertaining!

Tourist draw type place
It is really a typical tourist service place. Everything was for sale, no freebies except the entrance in the main store. You were required to pay to get into the museum and the play area for mostly children and teens. There are some nice things on display to look at. Most fairly expensive though.
