Love this place! Friendly and helpful staff, nice atmosphere, and very interesting things. I’m a oddities and curiosities collector so if you are one too I highly recommend this place for you!
Really weird store (in a good way). Definitely worth stopping by if you are in the area and are into bones, taxidermy, and fossils.
this store is so cool! really amazing pieces and the staff, Niko and Andes, were helpful and friendly. they explained the concept of the store really well and were open to answering any questions i had. this is definitely going to become a store i show friends and family when they visit the city.
What a fascinating store! I highly recommend to at least stop by if you are in the area. If you like science and evolution this is a store for you. It could be a store or an amusement experience. I would give 10 stars if I could.
i can easily say it was the most unique store i've ever been too. it i can justify spending $250+ for the taxidermy of a chipmunk i'd do it. maybe at some point in the future! the employees here are beyond friendly however. i'm sure most people coming in are just browsing and not coming it with intentions of buying something, but there's definitely a large selection of cool stuff!
I bought some magnets that were fun and are still working on my fridge. The custom novelty jewelry is fragile and irritated my neck but the CS was cool and the place is in a good location.
If you're looking for the perfect set of skulls carved from vintage billiard balls, a 5' long snake skeleton, pieces from that special meteorite, a mounted butterfly collection, skeletons for your family closet, slices of colorful minerals, or geological decor . . . this is the place.
It's pricey, a little snooty, somewhat aloof staff, and a whole lot of fun. When our kids were younger, and Evolution was in Soho, we couldn't keep them away from the place. After it moved, we lost track. Just happened to walk by Saturday.
The store has improved. It's bigger than it used to be and seems more varied. The oddities are great! It's very entertaining. Prices are a bit high, but I think that's what you'd expect for the unique
