So many beautiful items to choose from but I bought a multi color tuxedo cat painting , since I have tuxedo cats. I would add I did see some small Trump and Desantis items at the register area but the owner has a right to carry items of their choosing, and people have a right to purchase or not.What is deeply troubling to me in previous review , is a visceral reaction which apparently entitles someone to unleash a tirade on a store owner they do not know , it defies logic. This is a lovely store and it is definitely worth checking out if you are in the area.

Really hesitant to give Lovegrove Gallery and Gardens anything more than a 1 star review, but I…read morefeel that a lot of her prints are worth more than the lesser rating I'm giving. The pro-Republican / Trump / DeSantis / GWBush items shut me off from wanting to contribute to a local artist, which is sad because this mix of stances can jeopardize a lot of people (tourists beware). Although there are plenty of Beatles pictures around (on canvas, on paper, on coasters), the sunsets and palm trees were just as splendid, I think the political attitude needs to be kept out of the gallery unless it's a national museum or part of an installation piece. Like a lot of users have stated, there's a disconnect between supporting your rights and supporting nature, surroundings and people. Sure, everyone is entitled to an opinion, however, the Beatles aren't the only band who promote(d) peace and love, and I feel their discography doesn't completely jive with one portion of a governing body. Do painted coconuts know what our leaders do, unless we write something creative on them before we mail them? Are the palm trees fanning the ocean and bridges as the sun sets, or are they shading something wicked from eyesight? After seeing the giant Trump 2024 flag and a corner case full of other Republican memorabilia, I can't put myself on a political bus that looks like it is going down a one way street. I know there is more out in this world than following a one track mind, even though the sculptures and colors were pretty cool. If, by chance, there were positive paintings of Democrats or Liberals alongside the canvas of DJT, I'd totally be on board with this place. Even with the slight obsession with the aforementioned Fab Four... I wonder what they would all think about facility selling their image next to "we love you, George Bush!!"??? Lennon would probably dig it and say there's nothing wrong, but what about the Quiet One (Harrison) or the snare kicker (Ringo)? Macca would probably want his face out of the picture or take 45 compeltely out of the picture. Whatever is easier to remove. Thanks for giving me ideas on creating neat pictures from memorable lyrics, Lovegrove Gallery. I wanted something new to do (and put on my wall)! It just won't be one of your pieces.

The clothing is unquestionably feminine without being "foo-foo." The styles won't suit everyone of course, but with just a couple of odd exceptions (related to strange prints), I found the clothing tasteful. I picked up an adorable little dress here for $36 that may fit better than any dress I've ever owned. (For real.) And, the owner is super friendly... as evidenced by the fact that she said nothing as a perused after she'd turned off the lights and music after closing. (Would you believe I didn't even notice?

I unfortunately didn't have time to wait for the planetarium show, but it's cool that it is a part of the experience. I enjoyed walking around and would recommend it.

We both walked out in desperate need of a chiropractor adjustment. The feature was like watching an old reel to reel home movie complete with rough imagery and popping sounds in the audio. I'm going to venture out here and say they need new equipment because the feature we paid to see was supposed to be a visual marvel. The presentation left us uninspired and not impressed. Exhibits. The tanks were dirty, the exhibits were run down old and outdated. If the ppl there are volunteers some need to be asked not to return, if they're employees they need to be fired. When we asked questions they acted annoyed that we were even there. The animals. I'm hoping they'll be able to improve. I know they're probably still trying to recover from the storms but they need to do more, faster. I shouldn't feel pity for the animals having to spend their life in captivity and wondering are they truly better off. We visited a wild bird sanctuary in Key Largo which was wonderful. We were so impressed we wanted to and did make a separate donation to help keep their doors open. They operate on donations for entry, not an entry fee. Fort Myers, you have a good foundation but you need to step up your game. What started out as new in 1970 is in desperate need of repair. Inspire us!! Also, I'm not tourist. We will go back and continue to pay for entry but I'd like to see some improvements being made between visits.

And if you're lucky enough to meet the owner, he's sure to put a smile on your face. Onofrio is a wonderful man that cares deeply about the community. Matlacha has suffered back to back to back to back loss. The type of loss no one can really imagine or understand. It takes years to even find clarity and words to describe what this community has gone through. So instead of focusing on what happened during the devastating hurricanes (yes more than one and add in direct hit from a tornado after the great flood). I encourage everyone to take advantage of the honor and privilege it is to walk through the doors of places still standing in Matlacha. This place is extremely special, because you can get custom made. If that doesn't "I love you" in some sort of token or momento, what does? Walk through these doors often and support as much as you can. As if dollars were smiles and smiles were dollars.
