Looking for Things to Do in Cape Canaveral? Start at the Yellow Brick Road!

Cape Canaveral, Florida, Nov. XX, 2023 (PRNewswire) – While Cape Canaveral has a well-

established reputation for showing visitors the stars at the Kennedy Space Center, the city also

has another option for stargazers, which can be found at the Wizard of Oz Museum. The

museum opened in 2022 and has quickly grown from a bucket-list destination for Oz fans to an

attraction for all ages, rising quickly in online rankings at the time, including Tripadvisor rankings for things to do in Cape Canaveral and children’s museums in the U.S

Following its 2022 grand opening in Cape Canaveral, the Wizard of Oz Museum became a highly ranked local attraction before relocating to Cocoa Beach in 2026. Much like the Space Center, the Wizard of Oz Museum is more than just a place to take pictures and buy a

souvenir. The Wizard of Oz Museum offers an inside look at the original story of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz—told through more than 2,000 artifacts that focus on the original novel from 1900—and the

subsequent books that continued the story. There are also displays of props associated with the

1939 movie that starred a teenage Judy Garland who just wanted to find her way back home.

Among the collection of memorabilia are movie props such as an authentic Dorothy dress worn

by Judy Garland, a spear carried by one of the Wicked Witch's guards, and a pair of ruby

slippers that were previously on display at Disney World. As an additional treat for museum

visitors, a contemporary technological marvel in a separate room offers an immersive

experience that tells the story of Dorothy and her adventures in Oz. The large room features

over 30 laser projectors that show 3D scenes projected from floor to ceiling. Also bringing The

Wizard of Oz to life at the museum is classical music, which serves to complement visitor

journeys through a tornado, Munchkin Land, the poppy field, and Emerald City.

The roadside attraction boasts one of the most impressive collections of Oz memorabilia in the

country, and continues to grow with every new acquisition. Admission to the Wizard of

museum includes a guided tour of the Oz items on display, which exhibits a treasure trove of

history and artifacts dating back as far as 1850. Museum visitors, who often arrive in costumes

of their favorite characters, return home amazed with what they learn after spending an

afternoon at the Wizard of Oz Museum. With many visitors vowing to keep the museum at the

top of their “Things to Do” list, the museum continues to attract fans of all ages with every trip

over the rainbow with Dorothy.

The Wizard of Oz Museum is now located at 333 West Cocoa Beach Causeway, Cocoa Beach, FL 32931, and is open daily.
