Unfortunately the business with the relics and alien spaceship is gone, along with the artifacts. Across the street is a Pontiac Fiero monster truck though....

The spaceship is still there. I was there sometime in 2013 and it is just next to the Splendid China Miniatures. It looks like it's been there since it landed. The China Splendid Miniature buildings are way neat and wonderfully crafted not is a shame they've gotten so weathered. I wish they would have better preserved these items better indoors or under an awning, since central FL weather is brutal.
The Deco Gallery store had some really cool items for sale.

The Splendid China miniatures are in the parking lot in front of the Deco Gallery store, seriously weather-damaged, but still interesting.
[Larry, 10/15/2013]The Splendid China miniatures are still in the parking lot at Deco Gallery, north of Apopka on US 441. Not necessarily in great condition, but on display nonetheless. The Four Seat Spacecraft is gone. The owners admit they still have it, but it is dismantled and not on display. There are pictures of the Spacecraft for viewing.
[Randall, 07/28/2012]Looking at pictures of a spacecraft and actually sitting in a spacecraft are two very different experiences. Rebuild the starship!
The 4-Seater Space Ship that used to be on 4718 Edgewater Drive in Orlando, FL has been moved to the Splendid China Miniatures location.
