hotrod4ever Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I'm going on vacation in Florida on Mar11. Are there any good hobby stores to visit? I'll be in Orlando, Miami and in between, as well as a 2 day trip to the west coast. Thanks for any info! Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jefropas Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 In Orlando, off of SR50 (Colonial Dr) is Colonial Photo and Hobby. Easy to find, they've been the go to since I lived there in the 90's. After that, Orlando is pretty dry...IDK about Miami.... Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 It's been a LONG time, but you can try Crown Hobbies on Coral Way in Miami. The used to have a pretty good selection. The best hobby store in Miami by far was Orange Blossom Hobbies, but sadly they closed in 2001. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil's in Pinellas Park (St. Pete area) is good, but pretty far out of your way. Micro Macro Mundo in Miami has a nice selection, but the service is atrocious and the hours can be erratic. Family Hobby Center here in Naples is a nice old-school hobby shop if you're in the area. (if you do come this way from Miami check out the Revs Institute, which is a truly amazing auto museum focusing on vintage sports and racing cars!) Orange Blossom Hobbies was truly a great hobby shop, and it's a shame that it closed. It was worth the drive from Naples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymcminn Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Also K&K Hobby in Port Charlotte, extremely nice selection but a little pricey. Nice folks, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
