An amazing place. Could spend hours wandering around there. Great variety, even had some ephemera. Unfortunately due to the volume of items, nothing is priced. So I had to carry it with me to the front and then - while prices were ok - I was looking as a reseller and nothing they quoted would work for me to make any money. That's my problem, not theirs. The prices were about what you'd expect to pay as a collector, so just don't expect any "deals". A fun way to kill some time before returning to the airport - literally ten minutes away read more

Decided to stop by here with the family, including our sailor, during our vacation in August. We were greeted upon entry and checked up on to see if we had any questions regarding their items. This place could charge a fee as a museum. They have so many interesting things and I have to say it was more organized than most antique stores we have visited and was surprisingly clean. They have industrial fans everywhere to keep the place cooled down and enjoyable to walk through. We would have bought this beautiful grandfather clock, but too far from home. Highly recommend you stop by for a look. read more

What a gorgeous selection of treasures. The shop owners are wonderful and knowledgable. I left with a gorgeous piece of history and I cannot stop staring at it . 10/10 experience. read more

Do you have a like for Jimmy Buffett? Do you like the nautical look? Do you like antiques? Did you like the songs of Gordon Lightfoot? If you answered "yes" to one or more of these this will be the place for you. I needed a tetanus shot after but what great fun. Lots of rusty stuff. I got a diving helmet and a spear gun. My friend got a mermaid statue and a harpoon. Looking for a whale gun from the 1700s? They got it! There's an old-timer there that has verbose long stories about everything. But you know what? He's very knowledgeable and interesting. Some of the things are priced higher than "Balls" on a giraffe, but it's worth the trip. After this, we went to monkey Island. read more

This place is bonkers. I have never seen anything like it. In 1964 Stone Age Antiques was founded by Milton and his son Gary Stone. The business started out from father Milton's landscaping business started after WWII. Milton started using nautical ornaments in his landscaping projects. A collection began and soon he had a warehouse full of odds and ends. Milton decided the antique business would be easier than landscaping and Stone Age was born at 733 NW 27th Ave. After they outgrew the space they opened the store at its current location at the Miami River at 3236 NW South River. Dr. Milton was a bit of a character who had a reputation of enjoying kicking people out of his store who tried to haggle prices with him. It is said that he liked to order people to leave more than he liked to sell to them. Three years ago new owner Lou purchased the business. He has a background in selling antiques and had done business with Stone Age in the past. He claims to not even know everything that is here. The nautical collection grew to include thousands of items from all over the world. Items range from a few dollars to many thousands. Some items are rented for films and commercials. This is the place to visit if you need an old Spanish cannon, African tribal mask, or a suit of armor. This place has to be seen to be believed. If you like a treasure hunt head on over to Stone Age where the most oddball items in all of Miami reside. read more

Still a five stars for me. I went today for a poke around, a nose and ideas to be peeked for my home. It never disappoints. Albeit dusty, do yourself a favour and go visit! Go for a history lesson if nothing else. Go for dust! Go for interesting conversations. Go to support local. Go to see what History Miami has. We enjoyed our time there and were welcomed warmly and enthusiastically from the young gentleman who works there and who knows the store well and could offer so much information of the history and where abouts, of the source of most items. I want a job there! read more

Intriguing place. I certainly feel it has the look that makes you want to stop and take a walk inside. While there are many antiques here I do feel that there is a lot of redundancy. There's so much clutter is hard to appreciate some of the fascinating things that can be found in this place. With that being said, it has a very old and eerie feel to it which I think makes for a great antique store. I walked inside and was by myself and i got chills from hearing the metals above me creak with the wind and the smell of OLD and not a sound to be heard. Definitely a sight to be seen in person. I've been living in Miami since I was 10. 16 years later I come to find out about this place. I'll probably go back with more time and check it out further. It really is interesting. read more

THIS PLACE ROCKS! of course after you get over the shock of what this place looks like ;) My mom found this place, and when I went with her the first time, I was like "what the hell is this place?" This place has sooooooooooooooooooo much stuff it's incredible, & the place is HUGE!! Items piled on top of each other in some sections, other sections organized but in a dysfunction kind of way... It sounds weird but if you stop by, you'll understand completely! Do not I REPEAT do not come in heels, or wedges ladies, wear sneakers, or sandals due to the uneven walkway up to the store! OK So the only reason I come here is because of all their cool African, Buddha, & etc., masks, shields, & spears that they carry. My hubs is a HUGE fan of this section, and what they carry some is actually real. Last year for Christmas, I bought a movie prop from them - (Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls) - a funny looking shield. So neat! The owner (family owned/ Father&Son) also told us that the show Burn Notice comes in and purchases a ton of things to just blow up, when they have those explosion scenes, seriously how cool!?! If you are in rush do not come - you need to have time to go through this place! You get sucked in when you see what they have to sell. I brought my friend here a couple weeks before Christmas to show her what this place is all about, and we ended up staying a little over an hour. She could not get over how amazing this store was. If you like the boat theme, they have cool items for you! We bought thick rope from them as well as poles with the rope around them as if at a boating dock. They have sail boats, wheels from boats... the list goes on and on... They also have silverware, an old scuba outfit - hmm OH like the one Cuba Gooding Jr. wore in the Men of Honor movie. This place is awesome - & a must to checkout! I added a couple pictures - check them out! read more

Just go there and take your time! This place is almost beyond words. Look carefully. They are not known to be receptive to haggling but try your best charm. There is magic in these walls. read more

An incredible assortment of antiques. Mostly nautical but plenty of Americana and mid century stuff. Five stars for the products but the proprietor is quite surly and basically considers it an affront to offer to pay less for anything. Just be forewarned before you have an awkward conversation; absolutely worth going. read more

Being a picker and an antiques dealer for the last couple of years, this place is a honey hole! There's off the wall things, collectibles, junk, Americana, taxidermy, carvings, fossils, etc. You name it, they have it. Everything is decently priced and not above retail, you can so haggle with Gary, who will give you a great price. I highly recommend anyone looking to incorporate any maritime theme to a bedroom or house to definitely check this gem out. It's the Mecca for marine antiques! read more

It's been years since I last visited Stone Age Antiques on the Miami river and what a change for the positive! It's still the best museum of Miami that's not a museum. The new owner has taken great efforts to improve lighting in the warehouses and remove obstacles. It's a must visit for the Miami tourist! You'll find something you need. We did! Kid fun and friendly from around age 8 and up. read more

Really cool place, it just kept on surprising me with all kinds of treasure, room after room. Giving 4 stars because almost everything is expensive. You could probably find the same items online or somewhere else for much cheaper. read more

Please don't ever close! If you're too afraid to get dirty and don't want to pick through the amazing items, then don't go. if you're like me and want to get filthy while finding gold, then go! Prices are reasonable and the items are hard to come by. I've used items here for prop rentals and items to decorate my home. This place is a gem... read more

I love this place so much. Room after room after room of cool and interesting nautical antiques will tickle your fancy and make you wish you had more luggage space. From binnacles to carvings to anchors to portholes, the amount they can fit in here is simply staggering. They use a number of items as props for movies and it shows. read more

I can lose a whole day to this place and not even notice.... I've been coming here since I was a young boy. My dad and I would roam the dusty, salt licked isles for hours and find something new and interesting every time. I must admit, I haven't bought too many things from here because the prices are pretty steep, but the workers don't seem to mind you perusing the nooks and crannies of this great Miami landmark. read more

I have visited Stone Age over the years--always looking for clocks, architectural pieces, a hidden antique, repair materials... In fact, the unusual, things you do not find anywhere else. Although I am not into nautical stuff, something they have plenty of, they usually have a ship bell's clock or two. I love "digging" for surprises on the shelves or outside, and never leave the place without buying something. read more

This place is huuuuge and loaded with antiques (mainly boating antiques but they have a bunch of other random stuff). I went there with the intention of buying an antique whiskey oak barrel and spent at least an hour wandering the halls of this place admiring all their stuff. I did end up buying the whiskey barrel and it's awesome! The guys that run the shop are good people too! read more

Great place with great prices. The guys were very friendly and easy to deal with. Bring cash or your check book!

This is absolutely one of the best ... Stuffed to the 'gills' with nautical items of every imaginable variety.. The barnacled personalities of the shopkeepers alone are worth the trip . read more

Owner is too full of himself. And really surly. Prices are absolutely retail plus. No bargains here. And watch out since there are lots of new things, especially brass from India, and art work that is not antique. . Don't ask for a bundled price for multiple items. He gets nasty and says everything is priced fairly and there is no haggling. Well, given that yiu have to dig things yourself from under piles of other junk, you'd think he might be a little more. Negotiable. Read too many of his own press clippings. read more
