The museum recently announced it’d soon be moving to a new, larger location in Cocoa Beach. The Cocoa Beach location will keep all the same beloved elements of the original museum; however, they are adding in elements from I Dream of Jeannie, an American fantasy sitcom television series that was set in Cocoa Beach.
