Reviews of The Evolution Store
Such a unique store! Feels like a small corner of the natural history museum. Definitely the place for a one of a kind purchase.
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.
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!
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.
Cool store plenty of different things in the range of animals and rocks. Pricing seems decent, stuff can get expensive fast. The vibe is that of a museum which is fine but a little strange.
Absolutely love this cool, quirky shop for family gifts! Have been coming here for a few years and they never disappoint ❤️❤️❤️
The employees were very kind,helpful,and knowledgeable. The store itself has so many unique items to view and purchase.There were so many specimens that were attainable for an average person like myself. I had to fly back home that day and they were able to tell me what can go in a carry on,etc. i wish i could have stayed longer.
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
Amazing place! Best place to buy souvenirs for kids. I have two boys 7 and 10 and it was so hard to choose))) but all gifts are perfect for them) I spent here an hour, like museum
Great selection of items with okay prices (although I don't think I'm the best judge because I live in the South). The staff were extremely helpful and assisted me in picking out a great gift.
Always interesting to just walk in and browse at all their taxidermy collection! The butterfly they have are just amazing. This store is special in the sense that city people get to reconnect with the nature through taxidermy art. Every piece of specimen is very well done with live-looking and postures. It’s truly an icon for Manhattan. Almost like a mini- Natural History Museum. Give it a visit while in town !
The people who run this store are so nice! They have a genuine paleontologist on staff! On request, he went into cases to take out different fossils and explain their history. Like a tiny museum!
The stuff in here was wild and so fun to pick through. I now happily have a fossil of a Brittle star on display in my home.
A spider eclectic store that sells gem stone, fossils, animal bones and skins, to actually human bones. Your out of town friends will be super impressed if u take them here as a stop in your nyc sight seeing. A must see store with lots of instagram photo opportunity.
I could spend all day looking at their unique and interesting items. It's definitely not your average gift shop, just so much cooler. If you have any fascinating with rocks, animals, skeletons, gems, or anatomy, you'll find something to catch your interest here.
The store is full of interesting and unique things. A very beautiful collection of butterflies. There is something to see and buy ...
Unique store and environment. Staff was friendly too. Great prices on crystals and fossils.
This store was fascinating to say the least. I absolutely LOVED it! The products are very unique and they are reasonably priced to boot! I bought a strawberry conch shell and an urchin in perfect condition for less then 5 dollars. Bones, bugs, shells, minerals, and more: it was certainly my cup of tea!
Interesting, curious and distinctive shop. They have fossils, animal esqeletons, rocks. If you like archeology, biology and like insects and reptiles. This is the place for you.
Just happened to pass it per chance. And ended up killing about an hour in the store looking at all their items. I'm not sure how everything is obtained but i know one of the store clerks made user to point out that some items are molds from cast and not actual bones. There is something at every price point from $6-36,000
I have been to many unique places in my life but this place is definitely on the top of my list! Very rare meteorites, taxidermy, and more!
Interesting store with a nice collection of 'this and that' you may not find elsewhere and great gifts - who would not like a bat? I don't feel they deserve the $$$ they get - it is not overly expensive (sure one could get better prices online but this is Broadway and that costs).
This place is super cool. So much awesome stuff to see and to buy.
Love this place. Fun esoteric items. Lovely gems, crystal and jewelry.
Cool stuff inside. I like fossils and even bought some one of a kind jewelry!
In love with this store. So many cook and cute things. Price ranges from cheap $5 items all the way you up in the thousands haha. I will say I wish they had better wrapping options. I bought a couple resin items and they got scratched up in the bag rubbing against each other. So maybe some way paper? But still overall will deff be going here on my next visit
That place is a must go and is a museum in itself. All kinds of fossils, gems, dead animals (not as creepy as it sounds) and exclusive merchandise that you can think of from expensive to affordable. Anyone can find a cool gift in there.
Super unique shop and worth checking out!
Excellent and fascinating place to visit on a trip to New York! Contains a variety of interesting artifacts.
Awesome store to buy skull and animal decorations. They have a great collection
So many cool things to see in this store
Even if you don't buy anything (prices are a bit steep for some things but that's to be expected) it's such a cool place to just explore.
Visited The Evolution Store while I was on a vacation from Los Angeles and fell in love immediately. Totally reminded me of The Necromance Store that use to be on Melrose. Anyways, Mal was working when I went in and she was so helpful and friendly! She helped me pick out a very comfy sweatshirt and some awesome teeth. Will definitely make this a mandatory stop whenever I’m available n NYC!!
What an awesome store, everything for sale
Good selection and reasonable prices. Who would imagine that a dinosaur tooth can be bought for as little as $10. Can be a good place for last-minute gifts
One of the most iconic and unusual shops in lower manhattan.
Well worth looking around, for the fossils alone.
There's a wide variety of vaguely nature-y items om sale here, it almost has a museum-y vibe!
Bizarre place with interesting and cool objects (minerals, taxidermy, stones, gems, etc)
There are some places where it feels as if browsing if frown upon. This isn't one of those places. I happened to walk in at the same time as a mother and her young son. We were all browsing though the young boy was ready for his mom to purchase a taxidermied monkey.
I've walked passed this store so many times and occasionally stopping to view the windows. I am satisfied having finally stopped in. The items are unique, interesting, and reasonably priced--according to that mom though, excluding the taxidermied monkey.
The staff is chill, helpful, and pleasant. Purchased items are mindfully wrapped so that delicate items travel well.
Stop by. Browse. Buy. Spark your imagination.
This store can easily work as a museum! Unique and full of interesting artifacts!
Very interesting! Definitely worth a visit
my first time visiting new york and this store is easily the coolest place i got to see. the two beautiful workers there sydney and mal were so helpful, knowledgable, and friendly. they both helped me pick out the perfect butterfly and told me all the cool places i should see before my trip was over. i'd recommend this place to everyone!!!
Fairly priced specimens but also great for window shopping
One of my FAVORITE stores in all of NYC. It's one of those places you just have to stop and look around in even if you're not going to buy anything (but please buy something!) because they have such amazing artifacts as well as just fun stuff. It's like a mini museum without paying admission. I've actually noticed their prices are a bit lower for similar or the exact same items sold elsewhere, so I really appreciate that and love supporting them when I can!
I always love visiting this place when I’m in New York. It reminds me of my father’s study back before the manor burned down.
But a nice assortment of curios and trinkets and my only regret was I think I overwhelmed the staff, who were very young, thanks to my unflinching eye contact and bombastic voice. Sorry guys. You’re all great.
Love this store. Located in a fun area and filled with bizarre and interesting goodies. I always bring back souvenirs for my nephews from this store because they think it’s so cool! Artwork, bones, skulls, taxidermy, bugs, etc— all meticulously arranged or made into creative art pieces in their own right. Staff is wonderful, too.
Almost spent a few hours in there constantly finding new things. If you love collecting dead things this is the place
Such a cool store!!!! Perfect for enthusiasts of taxidermy or skeletons! So much cool art and preserved skeletons and oddities here
Yoooo the skulls are mad dope. I would hope to buy that lion pelt one day
This place is so interesting and unique. I got awesome presents for my kids and interesting stuff for my house. The guy with the puffy hair who helped us was the best he was so helpful and nice.
Fantastic stuff at great prices. Due to Covid, they're probably trying to limit the number of people inside the store, and how long they stay. Thus I didn't mind calling from outside, so that they'd open for me and take my first name. But then why was there this woman, chatting nonstop with the sales boys, with no interest whatsoever to purchase anything - and the guys were delighted with the chitchat?! Hey buddies, if this job is boring, there are plenty of people who want it! Management should look for more responsible personnel.
The employees were incredibly helpful and kind. Was picking up for my boss and even though I typically would not have entered this store (even though I passed it all the time!) I was glad to finally go in and see how interesting and cool everything was!
A truly unique store selling fossils, minerals, skeletons, rocks, gems, and other geology/paleontology related artifacts. I've never bought anything here, but regularly stop by to check out the interesting collection of items - it's almost like a museum with all the boring parts removed. It's definitely worth stopping for a browse or pick up a gift you can't find anywhere else.
Fantastic store carrying amazing things. Everything is laid out on the tables or in display cases clearly, so that it can be handled and examined. They have a large assortment of beautiful and unique natural items atan assortment of prices. (Most seem reasonable, through some indeed expensive.) The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I spent over an hour looking around, and never felt any pressure. I could easily have spent more time.
I bought a shark in a jar for my sons birthday! The website confused me, so when I called about my order the representative assured me he’d have it out by the night!
I couldn't buy anything cool, but it was neat to look at. not exactly what I was looking for.
Fascinating items for sale. Small shop but packed with goods.
Special place. I did not find any similar place in NYC. It opens but from outside, it looks closed. You need to ring a bell. Inside, incredible pieces of stones, insects. Butterflies, so many and incredible price !!! I bought two pieces of neckless abd excited. Must go.
Fun place to go to! They have a range of prices on items here. I think it’s definitely a place worth going to!
A bit of a natural history nerds paradise.
This store is well over priced for the taxidermy items they sell, but it still seems to attract the customers with it's weird and wonderful items anyway. Upstairs you'll find larger items, which if just visiting, probably won't fit on the plane ride home, but are great to marvel at anyway.
If you want to take away a souvenir they have smaller items at better prices, like beautiful framed butterflies, small animal skulls etc. Everything in here is done with love and respect for the animals in which they're selling, the taxidermy is made to showcase the animals beauty rather than freak people out. Worth a visit!
This is a fantastically interesting place. Although I can't imagine buying any of their larger products (snake skeletons, model human skeleton, etc.) they do have a lot of happy knick-knacks available that make fine souvenirs. Overall, it's a lovely store to visit.
If you are in the NYU area, stop in and look around at this shop. They have tons of interesting fossils, skeletons and general oddities. The prices actually seemed reasonable for the type of items they are selling. It is almost a museum where you can buy the artifacts that are on display.
What terrific store! It's like a little natural history museum where everything's for sale. Fossils, asteroids, taxidermy, dinosaur bones, rocks (They're minerals, Marie), etc. Such an unusual store filled with atypical, creepy things like a dissected rabbit encased in resin, and cool science souvenirs. A little expensive. Wish the store was bigger and I hope they stay around for a long time. There needs to be more shops like this.
Super interesting and unusual shop to find the perfect out of the ordinary gift.
Super cool store.
Unique objects if you like the natural sciences.
Even stuff like meteorite fragments, fossils.
Fun to look around and always a place to pick up an unusual unique gift for someone or Yourself!!
Interesting place, if you're a science and/or archeology fan, though I think it's more for souvenirs than for "serious" science. Not everything is just fossils and bones though, they also sell some nice mineral sample collections, for those who would like to own a variety of different minerals. I would say the collections are the kind for beginners who appreciate minerals from a scientific perspective, not for beauty or decorative attributes, though they may have those too. The samples are large enough that you don't need a magnifying glass to examine them, about 2 cm long, give or take.
This place is INSANE! Never seen a store like it. If you are one of those people that likes to collect bones, skeleton models, eyeballs, corpses, animal furs, stuffed life size animals, etc...well, this is your place. It was just insane walking in there to see what the store was all about. I thought it was some sort of Gothic clothing store at first. It's always a fun stop to go by when in the area.
Very intersting and unusual place. Has a lot of shells,minerals dry insects,batterflies,and sceletons of animals. My grandson 7 y .o. was very excited to visit it.
This store consistently offers the strangest items at different price points. From rocks and minerals to shells and preserved octopus, there are tons of weird things here. It seems like the footprint of the store is small, but there is a lot to see. There's skeletons and taxidermied animals too, which are interesting and super creepy.
Interesting shop, makes it easy to collect fossils when you’re nowhere near Montana, Nevada, the Carolinas, or Arizona to get down in the sediment and dig yourself. I walked away with a pretty good size Meg tooth for a cheap price. The stock changes based on what is brought in by the store, so it’s never the same materials.
The store staff also answered a lot of my questions as to how the operation is ran and where all of the stuff comes from, pretty fascinating arrangements they make.
This shop is like fascinating museum, beautifully displayed. And the prices are excellent. Certainly NOT overpriced. I left with 4 cool gifts for under $40.00. The staff are friendly, informative, helpful, no-pressure.
From reading reviews as well as gauging the reactions of the customers in the store, this is among the more polarizing shops around. Anyone who has done any kind of research or read a tourist guidebook is aware they sell human skeletons (completely legal and displayed tastefully) as well as taxidermied animals and butterflies. So if that kind of thing isn't your cup of tea, why go?
From my perspective this was utterly fascinating and unique. I view nature as something interesting and worthy of study and admiration. All their specimens are expertly worked on and displayed. Prices may seem high, but the amount of skill needed to fully disassemble a lobster (for example) as a natural history museum quality piece is really difficult to come by.
For those not interested in the museum quality pieces, there are plenty of fossils, geological specimens, books, and educational pieces. Gloriously strange objects like cross-sections of mineral encrusted water pipes, Fordite, meteorites, and the like. Some more basic 'museum giftshop' pieces as well, but it helps ensure people without hundreds of dollars to spend can find something of interest as well.
Absolutely amazing!
Super fun to check out. Found a small alligator head for $20. Greatest gift ever for an animal loving nephew. Staff were reasonable for a pretty busy store, I thought.
The Evolution store is the only one of it's kind in nyc! If you love looking at fossils, shark's teeth, preserved butterfly specimens and a wide variety of bones and gems, this is a great store! It's like being in biology class again or the Natural History museum on a small scale.
OMG I simply loved looking at all the oddities in this interesting store. The lady behind the counter was so informative and delightfully animated when asked about their many treasures.
A must stop shop. Lots of trinkets and interesting items to peruse. Skulls, skeletons, bones, taxidermy, crystals, etc... informative staff. Interesting gift finds. I could easily spend an hour just looking.
Super cool! They have neat oddities and the staff was very sweet, we got a nifty turtle specimen from here and it was great experience!
Staff very helpful and patient. It's a small store but there is good breadth if not so much depth to each category: taxidermy, shells, bones, butterflies and other insects, rocks/ crystals/ fossils.
Pretty remarkable collection of skeletons, taxidermy, preserved specimens, and related art. Creepy, sure, but this place is respectful; more about marveling at anatomy and nature than grossing people out. Very high quality rare stuff, so not surprisingly everything is either very small or very expensive.
If you are looking for an unusual experience, this is the place. It is a science based store, ergo the title in the heart of the Village. They carry butterflies, moths, beetles, all sorts of skeletons, posters of flora, fauna and insects. There are taxidermy alligator heads, hides, birds, etc. You never know what you might find.
This place is so unique and interesting, it's worth venturing to the area just to see it. I've never seen anything like it in NYC and it's surprising that you can find lion heads, stuffed creatures, etc. in the heart of such a liberal city. It's so different that it's awesome. You're likely to walk into the shop with your jaw wide open and when you leave, you are going to say "wow". There are some little cheaper trinkets you can buy there as well as tens of thousands of dollar stuffed animals. There's enough things in each nook and cranny of the shop to spend an hour or more browsing. Marvel at the wonders.
This is a lovely trinket store down in the village. My partner had been following them on Instagram for years and it was a bucket list item on our trip to New York. He was fully satisfied and even purchased a beaver skull which is in our bedroom. If the previous sentence makes you chuckle rather than squirm: this is the place for you!
I was very surprised by the quality of the stuff found here, and the prices seem way better than other places that sell similar fossils. Highly recommend coming here if you are interested in bones, shells, fossils, or taxidermy of insects.
Going down hill.
I love the store and have for years but on my most recent visit the store was not nearly as great as it once was. It no longer has as many skulls and the ones it does have a lot are replicas or relatively common animals. They didn't have a leopard or lion skull for example. Also Alex is gone, I guess he left or maybe was fired, but he was great. It still has a lot of cool insects, a few common cheap things, and a nice interior decoration, but its loosing its luster.
I HOPE THEY CAN GET IT BACK.
A little overpriced but definitely better than Obscura. You can find much better prices in a less trendy store, certainly. But it's well decorated and managed, the people are relatively friendly & knowledgable. The store is a little cramped and can be not worth going into when there's a lot of people there, though.
What a cool store. All the skulls remind me of Lord Byron setting his table with wine goblets fashioned from human skulls. And other cool stuff. Not for the squeamish, though
Don't go if you're afraid of death. Lol.
LOTS!!!!! Of good quality things, I wish I could buy it all. And they have many learning kits for kids. I'm definitely going back for some items that my nephews will love.
A natural history museum where the displays are for sale. Downstairs has small items that range for smaller skulls to metalwork jewelry and more. Upstairs seems to have more of the bigger mounts and skeletons. Worth a stop whether you're looking for something unusual to add to your collection or don't want to wind your way through a big museum.
A wonderful collection of things long dead! Expensive, but to be expected considering the epochs of time needed to create some of them. Also rocks.
This place is crazy cool.
Real seashells, natural stones, all kinds of curiosities and oddities, if you're looking for a unique science related gift for anyone of all ages, make a trip here, you won't regret it.
It's my 9-year-old son's favorite place. There are a lot of fossils, models of human organs and systems, skeletons, minerals and dried insects. Plenty of things that will be interesting not only for kids, but for their parents.
It’s a nice store with scientific gifts. No public bathrooms. Which is normal but the door was open so I thought it was... it’s all good!
Good place for gifts!
Had a cool selection of miscellaneous things. Quite overpriced though.
Really cool store with cool products.
Always fun to visit and see all the cool things they have!
Coolest shop, truly scientific in nature but presented in playful, iconoclast way. Staff is patient and knowledgeable, prices are high but there's great gifts at a lower price point too.
Neat collection of unique items.
Unbelievable skeletons of small animals! Being an artist, winter at home anatomy acrylic and ink sketches beautiful experience. Note: need medical credentials to purchase human ones. Oh well!
The most curious shop I have ever been to! It feels like a museum because of all the cool stuff you can see (and buy of course)!
Awesome. I edited my review i had 5 stars and it said 2. How could i put 2 stars for a great store that my daughter's attention for over an hour. I'm glad i looked at your reply and noticed mistake
This place is really cool. If you're visiting NYC and you are in the area (or if you live in the area), it's worth dropping in and looking around. Lots of unique gift ideas also.
Been coming here for decades. Love this store. Cute little trinkets for kids who are curious about creatures & rocks.
This place is full of cool stuff! Skeletons, trinkets, hand carved skulls, freeze-dried creatures, and other collectibles/decorations for weird people and science enthusiasts. I'm both and I loved it.
Good place to get unique gifts if you like stones, shells and other animal stuff (obviously not for someone who likes to see them alive). Even funny gifts, like flavored cricket snacks.
Love this store. Staff are very friendly and helpful.
Wow! A real apothecary shop, semi precious stones, all kinds of fossils, bones, furs, all kind of strange merchandise and very pretty jewelry.
Prices are decent
Awesome place to visit if your into taxidermy and like collecting the awesome cased butterflies. They had many butterflies but they didn't have a female morpho amathonte. Maybe I missed it.
Really cool place to look at fossils and really cool historic stuff. Bought a sweatshirt that's amazing quality and has a great design. Overall great place to check out.
Cool place for fossils, bones, rocks and gems, preserved insects and taxidermy.
Nice store with an eclectic collection of stuff, ranging from world globes to tortoise shells. Bring the kids. Prices are very reasonable.
Visiting from Texas. I am a collector of all things nature and biology, the weirder the better. I collect bones (and feathers and shells and fossils and vintage scientific illustrations etc. etc.) and this place is absolute heaven!!!
Very very very cool store. 10/10 would recommend.
A very unique store allot of oddities in here. Be aware this place is stupid expensive. They were selling a lobster shell taken apart inside a glass case for somewhere around 3000$
I thought it would be cool, but it's pretty horrible to look at lion skin rugs, dead frogs and turtles. Made me sad.
The rocks and fossils were cool, though.
On a side note: Actual human skulls? Ew!
Good vibe! Nice people! The prices are high but reasonable. Love love love this store.
Evolution should definitely be in your list of places to drag friends visiting from out of town. They have all sorts of odd natural ephemera, from skeletons (human & animal) to rocks and crystals. A nine on a scale of ten for Interesting, and luckily maybe a two on the scale for Gross.
Amazing spot! A great place to take your kids and/or for anyone interested in odd and unique things. Took my 13 year old son and he couldn't get enough. FANTASTIC!
Great and hard to find collectibles and oddities! Great if you're looking for that special gift no one else will buy!!!
The place is very nice it has very interesting exhibitions and great items some are weird like the scorpion lollipop but it has pretty AMMAZING THINGS for you to see you have to see it for yourself
Beautiful place with crazy things to see and wonderful jewels to buy. I’m amazed by their crystal’s necklaces. The staff is very patient and nice.
Price wise, its probably not the best. But if you are at all interested in animals & anatomy... what a fun place! Basically a well-curated museum.
Wow, super neat place. Was really impressed by the collection of oddities. Definitely worth perusing to scoop up neat things for your home decor or study.
A great selection of really cool nature-themed gifts. A bit on the pricey side for some of it, but some of the smaller items seemed good as gifts.
The staff is friendly and the store has many cool and uncommon oddities.
Amazing place filled with human skulls and ancient treasures. I would recommend an hour roaming around this beautiful collection of artifacts. Some affordable stuff too!
Oddities and curiosities are the name of the game here, with embalmed two-headed snakes, freeze-dried frogs, and skeletons of just about everything that's ever lived. On the less grisly side, there's a great selection of crystals and stones. A Spring Street highlight.
Awesome store for weird gifts. Whatever the occasion, whatever item to give to someone would definitely be the main talking point.
I’ve ordered things from them online and wanted to visit the store in person. Smaller than I expected, but definitely worth stopping in to look at all the interesting things.
Interesting items in a beautiful shop. Perfect for the scientific or quirky individual. Also have an online store and will ship items for customers.
This place is neato! I'm a meathead, with a sprinkle of goth. My friend Trilogy bought me a trilobite fossil from here as well as some other great oddities!
Come for the edible insects, stay for the racoon's penis bones. Amazing store, their natural history prints are really great also.
LOVED THIS PLACE. Thanks for such a rich experience. They even helped me identify a fossil from my personal collection
One of my favourite places in New York City. Some fascinating pieces available if you have a morbid fascination with Natural History.
Nature means skulls. And skeletons, lots of them. While there are large pieces of agate, geodes and other items that stand the test of time there is a large selection of skeletons or skulls. Expensive ones, not cheap but especially if you're doing anatomy studies or you like to be surrounded by items that remind you of the complexity of nature. You go here.
Perfect place to pick out gifts if you know people who have eccentric tastes and/or appreciate natural history, entomology etc.
The best store in the world, and now more that has a new layout of the place, i went for the first time like 6 years ago, and each time i go, it doesnt stop surprising me
Super cool spot to check out cool bugs fossils and skeletons. Totally worth cruising through when your nearby!
Walked by the store and it caught our eye. It has a lot of neat stuff. I felt like a kid at a candy store and purchased a dinosaur fossil tooth!
This place is so cool! Something to buy at all price points and the staff are exceedingly lovely.
Love this store I can spend hours inside it's small but it has the coolest things inside my kids love going inside even if wee just look around
One of my favorite places to take people when they are in town in the area. Just an oddball shop, feels a little like a museum.
Fun store to visit, but didn't find anything I had to have on my trip there, still really cute ambiance
Really great shop with such an eclectic collection of odd and neat things from shark teeth to meteorites, it's a world of weird, fun and evolutionary enjoyment
Interesting and a bit odd. Reminds me of peter the great museum with embrios pickled in a jar. Priced are high... Ay least for my taste
Cool unique store
This place has some interesting specimens, but they're interspersed with generic junk. Worth stopping in but if you're looking to spend less than a couple hundred dollars there's nothing worthwhile.
Good variety of items and prices, something for everyone scientifically minded to weird.
Unqiue store for a unique taste. Sells skeletons and corpses of small animals and insects. Along with fossils and aesthetic elements.
Neat assortment of things to look at, interesting place to stop and browse w/ kids. Is pretty pricy.
Wow wow wow. Decorate your study with items from this store and give people the impression that an enigma gave a paradox a very special hug and the result was your eclectic taste in all things naturally selected.
A collection of the bizarre, the unusual, the fantastic, all for sale. Great for gifts for people of all ages, especially for the weirder people you know.
A little bit spooky. This place does not need my review. Is a plce to go ones.
My daughter 6 years old love it.
Amazing everyone's so nice and informative , I got a spider and some butterfly wings . Not that pricey either unless ur getting a framed creature!
This place is still great however I feel like it was more interesting when it was down on prince street. Strictly a shop now not a cool place to check out-so I do respect the change
I literally want to own their entire inventory. No hyperbole. And the staff is always nice.
Really interesting shop in SoHo. Its worth a visit if you are in the area, but I will probably never buy anything from here.
Awesome store. One of a kind skulls n bugs n things. Check it out.
This place is seriously underrated. In many ways, it's more like an exhibit than a store!
Very interesting but may not be for everyone. Relatively inexpensive for a NYC gift shop.
Great store for unusual skull and bones related stuff
The Evolution Store is a great Store I got a Mosasaurus tooth and it's in great condition
This is a bizzare unique store perfect for finding animal bones, stones and other collectibles like arrow heads and shark teeth
Unique sick of meteorites, geodes, skulls, skeletons, and other natural history oddities. Friendly and helpful staff, funky vibe.
I loved this place and i’m looking forward to go back, they have wonderful things!
Very unique items. Something catches your eye at each turn of your head

I bought several unique items at this fantastic store! One thing was a replica shrunken head!
Very unique, lots of interesting items, prices set for the true collector

Ένα μοναδικό μαγαζί στην Νέα Υόρκη! Απίστευτη συλλογή μέσα στο μαγαζί όπου δύσκολα θα αφήσει αδιάφορο ακόμη και τον αδιάφορο!!! Πολύ λογικές οι τιμές του σε σύγκριση με την μοναδικότητα των προϊόντων του. Είναι πολύ καλή ευκαιρία να αποκτήσετε μοναδικά ενθύμια ή ακόμη να προσφέρεται μοναδικά δώρα. Αν είσαστε κοντά στην περιοχή πρέπει οπωσδήποτε να το επισκεφθείτε έστω και αν δεν θέλετε να αγοράσετε τίποτα. Θα το καταλάβετε και από τις φωτογραφίες!!!

It's a fairly small shop but you'll find a whole bunch of oddities to buy there, whether it's insects to eat, animals kept in various shapes or just things that are a little out of the ordinary. Even if you don't buy anything, take a look there if only for the pleasure of the eye. The saleswoman was nice!
(Original)
Vraiment un lieu à voir à New York si vous passez dans le quartier. C'est une boutique assez petite mais vous y trouverez tout un tas de bizarreries à acheter que ce soit des insectes à manger, des animaux conservés dans des formes diverses ou juste des choses qui sortent un peu de l'ordinaire. Même si vous n'achetez rien, faites y un tour ne serait ce que pour le plaisir de l'œil. La vendeuse était sympa !

Ein absolut verrückter Laden. Ich stelle mir aber jedoch die Frage ob man das was man dort sieht auch in Deutschland einführen darf, da meines Erachtens einige Sachen unter Naturschutz stehen. Aber ich lasse mich gerne eines besseren belehren.
(Translation)
Absolutely crazy store. However, I ask myself the question of whether what you see there can also be imported into Germany, since in my opinion some things are under nature protection. But I'd be happy to be taught better.
