It's a huge building housing a quaint little indoor "town." Looking a bit like Mayberry USA, it's designed to look like a series of shops around a town square.
And it was rated as one of the "top Williamsburg Destinations by Disney Family Travel"!
Candle-lovers: We really don't need to talk you into this, do we? Suffice it to say, your only problem may be choosing from their huge selection.
In addition to shops selling any candle-related thing you can think of, they offer a little village of other shops. Don't miss:
- The toy store (with a train that runs continuously just below the ceiling--perfect for keeping little ones occupied while you shop!)
- The Christmas store, complete with a starry night ceiling that actually "snows" about every 15 minutes (little tiny soap bubbles!), animatronic characters, and ornaments galore
- A cafe offering gourmet sandwiches, coffee and yummy desserts
- The Dip-Your-Own-Candle Station, where you can dip your wax ornaments ($2-3), make a jar candle ($12), or a wax mold of your hand ($8)
- The Hickory, Dickory, Dock Show in the "town square"-- at the top of each hour the clock face "talks" and opens up to reveal animatronic mice performing a fun song.
- Unique gifts ranging from Popcornopolis, Vera Bradley, and Dylan's Candy Bar
Cheap Tips!
Tip #1: Bring your lunch with you, pull up one of the elegant, wrought-iron chairs in the courtyard, sit under the blue "sky" and enjoy the clock show for a totally fun and cheap experience you'll want to do again and again.
