To expensive and nothing really to see. You pay to enter a store basically. Simply a tourist ripoff. More

The store is a great place to shop for fossils, jewelry and other 'expensive' treasures. Adventure Zone was okay, not really a lot going on in there but the kids seemed to have fun - you do have to pay to go in the A Zone. (There is a ride in there not for anyone who gets dizzy easily.) We... More

lots of fun like the store the best Good supply of dinosaur and other gifts. Like the children's hat that looks like it has been in a dinosaur fight. Sorry that they did not have the figures from Germany. The child age 4 had a good time looking at all the dinosaur things. More

Great little place in Cocoa Beach for the kids to play inside for a couple of hours. Good amount of stuff for the kids to see & do packed into a fairly small place. My kids enjoyed it, but don't expect to spend anymore than 1-2 hours there. More

Adventure Zone was a cute place tucked in the back of a store that had all kinds of neat artifacts and fossils, gemstones, statues, etc. The staff was very friendly and interacted with the kids. There were a few arcade games, some science experiment equipment and even a room with real reptiles. Probably a bit overpriced at $8 for each... More

A rainy day in Cocoa Beach brought us here (we planned to go anyway) and it was worth the visit. My 6 yr old son had a hey day with all the displayed fossils, replicas and gift store items. We left with a Nat Geo kids Shark book and a genuine 16 piece fossil kit! He was so happy and... More

I took the kids, 5 and 12, today. They spent two hours enjoying the games, science and reptiles. Don't expect a huge place. It's just the back half of the store, but it had a nice variety of activities. There is a boat ride that costs $2. When you think about the fair where I paid $4 for the small... More
