Lonely Planet review for Evolution

A great cabinet of curiosities, this old-fashioned storefront sells natural-history collectibles of the sort usually seen in museums. This is the place to buy – or just gawk at – framed beetles and butterflies, bugs frozen in amber-resin cubes, stuffed parrots, zebra hides and shark teeth, as well as stony wonders, including meteorites, fragments from Mars and 100-million-year-old fossils.

    Fully awesome

    TheMummy recommends this,

    Such a cool store. My daughters are 5 and 7 and they loved this store and were both begging me for skeletons and various taxidermy samples! Maybe when they're older and have houses of their own I'll embarrass them by only buying housewarming gifts from here, a tasteful giraffe skull for the porch, framed butterfly collection for the hallway and a school of dried pufferfish for the bathroom.
