Been here a few times. Small, but very cool. Awesome exhibit to walk through inside as well as doing the snake venom extraction. Very intense and fun, but safe. They also bring out different reptiles for the kids and adults to touch and hold. Another little hidden gem in Deland that people have to check out with the kiddos

Had the pleasure of touring the Stetson Mansion, today (Jan4th, 2019), amazing architecture, the decadent Christmas Decorations, with thought to every detail and theme, loved all the nativity sets, and particularly appreciated the salute to our Military, Veterans and Families..and last but not least our tour guide Sue, and greatly appreciated her love and knowledge, not only of the home, the Stetson Family, but the very generous current owners..Don't Miss it!

Third time there and every visit gets better each time. The massage therapists are amazing and truly listen to your concerns and work on only your problem areas. They work wonders with arthritic hands and feet and were also able to get the knots out of my neck and shoulders. Such friendly staff and wonderful atmosphere. Can’t wait to visit again next time I’m in town!

We just saw Mamma Mia and it was probably the best show we’ve seen in a long time. Even better than Dr Phillips performing arts center. The characters were defined ,the voices outstanding, choreography wonderful and scenery so professional. Above all the theater is quaint and inviting, the volunteers so friendly and professional it had the Broadway feeling in a cozier atmosphere. Been coming here for years and it just keeps getting better and better

This is a small, fairly intimate museum with two floors. One exhibit was pairing permanent collection paintings and prints with poems and then voting for your favorite. The cashier was engaging and asked which one I voted for and why. Upstairs were additional permanent collection artworks which which piqued my interest.
