Spongeorama Sponge Factory, Tarpon Springs FL

The captain on the boat was threatening to our boat. He said he was going to cut our lines if we didn't move our boat. This a state park first come first serve parking. They do not have a set spot at the Anclote state park. They continue to try to intimate people. Sad that a business would continue to employ people that give their business a bad name.

Overcharged by $18 for shea butter and no returns. Asked this really rude woman. I just walked out five mins ago and she wouldn’t return it. Can get same product on Amazon for $5. Do not buy from here. No returns. Extremely rude staff. Also charged 3.75% service fee for credit card which is unheard of. I dunno what kinda greedy person is running this place
But don’t be deceived like I was by their must see. There’s no informational movie or anything.

Lovely, hidden, "treasure-of-a-store" located within the Tarpon Springs Sponge Docks! I love going there b.c. Of their "dolphin boat rides" and drink specials at that great restaurant, Yianni's, right in front of the store.

I thought this place was going to be huge and filled with millions of sponges. But it was just like all the other shops. Not saying it is a bad place just not specular like the name says.

Great place to visit if you go to the sponge docks. Make sure you visit the original one between Yannis and Docks Waterfront Restaurants. It's been there over 100 yrs. The employees are great too!

Boat ride was excellent! Dolphins, herons, pelicans, uninhabited island to stroll. Interact with people from around the country. Beautiful.
