Brought our kids here many times over the years. They were always excited by the barrels of candy!Stopped in for the first time in a few years. It's as large as I remember and a great place to kill a little time. Lots of unique things to look at, some useful, some fun, and some grossly touristy. :-)A must stop if you're passing through, but the prices on some items are considerably higher than you can find elsewhere.

Took a girlfriend that has never been here before, we were early for one of the stores Nextdoor, so we decided to walk through the store, so she can see what the store is all about, and see how I told her, that they had a little of everything, a place you can find a gift for anyone. She was surprised that she lived around here for around 1 1/2 years and never been there., I believe she enjoyed everything that she saw.

12/3/22 Had a great time at this little shop- well it's really not so little!! My friend came to visit me and due to the weather our plans were cancelled. We were thinking of something to do and my friend suggested this idea and I was game. It was a lot of fun! When I first saw the shop I thought it was small not realizing how big the place is! We walked and walked and walked through!There are all kinds of price ranges - Jim Shore/Heartwood Creek are a featured brand, so are Swarovski, Pandora, Puravida and many others. From barrels of candy items, to gifts for the dog lovers, bear items galore, dip/soup mixes that are giftable, to Baby Yoda Vera Bradley this store has something for everyone! The sales people are actually friendly, professional and helpful. I enjoyed the visit and I could see how people could spend a long time there.Have you ever seen Buffalo Wing Soda? How about pickle flavored cotton candy?? Lots and lots of unique items. A fun time!!I especially loved the selection of cute bears they had there too. They sell fancy beers and wine and I also enjoyed the food samples. It's worth stopping in if you're in the area.

I'm giving this store 2 stars basically for some of the issues I encountered with certain candles. The store itself is amazing! Huge selection of different items. Definitely a fun place to stop and visit when in the Poconos. However, I purchased several candles whereby the wicks were /are horrible. Some slid right out of the candle, others burned down to the level of the wax and won't light. I have to scrape off the wax around the wick to relight. Some of the scents are not strong. Some really stink like the almond cookie one. Every time we light this one, after a while we are saying, "what's that smell in the house? Smells like plastic burning"! And I love that almond smell but this candle doesn't give off a pleasant scent. This may not be the case with all the candles but the bunch I bought, are not the greatest!

Five stars just for being a classic. I was here probably more than twenty years ago and considering how crazy this place is, the most amazing thing to me is not remembering the scale of it back then. From candles, to wine (and some beer), to candy, to Christmas stuff, to more candles, to jewelry, to some clothing, the buildings that make up the maze you walk through inside are mostly separated into shopping zones.Whether it is for yourself or gifts for others, you are going to find something here. I ended up buying a small bag of dark chocolate malt balls. For the most part, I eat zero sweets, but these are my weakness during times of availability. I even had to add a piece of 'European candy' to the bag. It seems to be Egyptian. How Egypt got to be in Europe I don't know, but it sounded interesting enough to try.Oh, and then there was the Sh!t Show wine. It's probably not a great wine, but since it is advertised as being a sign of the times it is probably better if it is bad. Either way, the holidays are coming, and I am ready.Someone I was with was interested in buying candles for some reason while I was off on my detour, so we both ended up leaving happy.

Great place. A lot of different shops. Always find something unique to buy. Big barrels of old time candy & new. Always very busy, a lot of people from out of town for sure.. but will continue to go back.

This is a nice stop if you are visiting the Poconos and are looking for something to do or kill some time. They sell a wide range of products from candles to knickknacks to old time candy. You'll likely walk out with some sort of purchase.

We enjoyed exploring the shops, a lot of unique things to see. Especially liked the rolled ice cream. We never had that before and it was really delicious.
