It was a small, cute little retail area, probably best for baby-boomers who are seeking to relive a time when polyester and large jewelry was the best way to show success. Today, it's two streets with several unique shops, and it's worth stopping if you fondly remember the moon landing, love antiques, or are exceptionally interested in Pokemon.
Beautiful area of eastern Florida on the Indian river. There are many things for someone to experience while visiting the Historic Cocoa Village area. There are shops, restaurants, historic theater and amazing scenery at the near by Waterfront park. The only drawback to the area is lack of parting during events.
W you know Inever z m
Not a whole lot of parking, especially during the craft fairs and other events. The Playhouse is a rest stop, as well as some of the stores and restaurants. It's a cute little place to just walk around in, too.
It's a great place to take your kids and explore your towns history
Great little shops great way to exercise
There is a parking lot across from Travis hardware(great store) That has the chains down on Sunday to bait people to park there, there is a tow truck waiting for you to park in a customer parking only parking lot, Parking has always been a issue in the village, how ever on Sunday the wells Fargo business is closed, but there parking lot is open, if you ignore the customer only parking sign your car will be towed in 3 minutes as the tow truck is right around the corner, The man Aron that owns the sugar shack also owns the lot the tow truck Quick Tow rents from on the other side of the village, The village knows about this and says there is nothing they can do or will do, So in my humble Thinking I feel they are condoning letting people travel to see a historic place and get Towed off for 175.00 for doing so. I I owned a business in the village there would be no way I would allow this to happen to my customers, After our car got towed. I spent the rest of the day on the side walk letting people know that if they parked there the guy right over there would tow there car in minutes, I was thanked over and over, most after parking else were walked by me on the way to the sugar shack and thanked me some more, not knowing the doughnuts they just bought were from the same guy that owns the lot that quick tow rents from, I just called the village association and was told there is nothing they can do, I replied the merchants in the village could do what I did and make sure non of the people visiting the village got ripped off from this scam, He replied he would sue me for slander. My review has my name on it and I will be on the side walk serving the public this Sunday and as many as it takes, please share this on face book and with friends. Our tax dollars spend a lot on bringing tourist to Florida, this type of behavior legal or not can not be overlooked.
A lovely area to walk around.
We were there on a Sunday and most of the shops were closed. The ones we did visit were nice and the people were friendly.
Fun places to explore with family or solo. From theater shoe's, bars, restaurants, ice-cream shops to walking along the water side. Park for little ones to enjoy. Has lots of gift shops and just so much to offer. Prices range from low to high.
We had a great time with our family. My kids love the huge playground there, and walking around Cocoa Village. Great Farmer's Market there too.
