User Reviews of Evolution Nature Store

Yelp.com Review - by aaron k.

5.0 of 5 stars. Fossils! I'm excitable, and you know this has to be exciting, because It's not a food place, and really, I only review food. It's not that shopping is bad- or even not fun- it's just that every place…

4.0 of 5 stars. Man, are skeletons, alligator teeth, woolly mammoth fur, racoon penis bones, t-rex heads and pygmie seahorses are expensive...but so fun to look at! It's really a good time and a necessary stop in if…

Yelp.com Review - by Kimberly K.

5.0 of 5 stars. A cornucopia of dead things and dead thing replicas. I can't really explain it.. other than it's just cool. Butterflies, scorpions, skulls, beetles... It's better than the Natural History museum and…

5.0 of 5 stars. If you need a racoon penis bone on short notice, this is your go-to joint. If you just want to see a lot of dead things, but you can't take the crowds at the Museum of Natural History, this is also…

5.0 of 5 stars. As a sucker for natural history, I would recommend this place anyway but I have other reasons. It's part Ripley's Believe it or not and a museum store, and I particularly liked the collection of…

5.0 of 5 stars. I am a huge fan of botany and anatomy. That said, I love this store. If you have any interest in skulls, nature, biology, really any natural sciences, go here and love it up.

5.0 of 5 stars. One of my favorite stores in Boston was Flyrabbit, but sadly they've gone the way of so many of this city's awesome quirky stores, and are done now. Probably been replaced by a $tarbucks or something.…
