You can take kids here and adults a lot to see and do, we love this place but only go when company comes, should try to go more>

Was unexpectedly surprised when I went to the Shell Factory. We just went around the place and ended up being there for several hours. We need to go back to the Nature Park and Mini golf. There's lots of other things there besides shells. They have a wonderful sweet's shop with awesome fudge. They also have a small cafe. There... More

This is one of the best places to get all your south Florida souvenirs.

A budget of less than... More

We visited the store and not the nature park. Overall this is a very large collectible store that appears to have started with seashells but diversified over time. First a large collection of shells... Then a large stuffed animal exhibit... A section about pirates (small) then a Christmas ornament section. Overall- if you like seashells or such stuff- this is... More
