If you are a movie buff, or love museums and unusual facts, The Wizard of Oz museum in Cape Canaveral Florida is a MUST. If you are cruising in on a cruise ship and looking for something to do close to port think no more. It is a 3 mile ride from the cruise port to get to this immersive museum. It's more than the Wizard of Oz. It has a Van Gogh art vibe and also sticks with the theme in Florida of The Space Capital in Port Canaveral. You will get immersed in Space and Art in the Immersive room. Who doesn't want to see Judy Garlands dress from the movie and Ruby Red Slippers. IT'S THERE It has been voted as the #1 Children's Museum in Florida as well. This is a must "TO DO" When you are vacationing or visiting Florida. Special thanks to the owner for showing us around and I wish you continued success and hope to get back soon.
