It's an everything store for science geeks, and it's awesome!
Can't be beat for its combination of the weird and the practical. Bring your sense of humor.
A quirky science & army surplus shop, American Science & Surplus has it all. From Russian-made microscopes to 1950s Geiger counters, it stocks loads of educational science kits, games & toys for kids.
My kind of place... too much geeky stuff to get into! Venus flytraps are being sold too at the checkout counter!
Everything
Every product description is worth reading. EVERY ONE.
This place is amazing. Beakers and army stretchers and dental equip.
Take time to read the price/description signs for each item--some are hilarious!
They actually close at 5pm on Sundays.
Don't buy the $2.99 pedometer. They flat-out don't work, even with new batteries.

I feel like Macgyver every time I come in here!
Lots of motors!
Every time I come here they're out of Flubber.
Look for Venus Flytrap plants, so cool!
Great place for science project stuff for school!
