    Quirky and punny drinks
    Jenn A.

    Fun, quirky, family-friendly roadside diversion. After seeing this place advertised on a Facebook reel, our family decided to take the over hour drive on a Saturday afternoon to see what we have been missing. Pulling into the parking lot, we first noticed the small amusement park which seemed to have a number of child sized rides, but must have been closed for the winter months. (It instantly gave me Wally World vibes.) Parking selection was ample at the time of our visit. Upon entering, we navigated to the first available restrooms and were surprised to find how dilapidated and poorly maintained they were. Yikes! The lighting was poor, the stalls were out of order, and the sinks were in poor repair. Huge put off and negative experience here. I would never want to take a child into this restroom to have to change them. The advertisement for the petting zoo was a bit misleading as it depicted a cow and we anticipated seeing one. The caged animal area consisted of about 5 goats, 4 peacocks, 2 ducks (the pump next to the duck pond was in disrepair and disassembled), a turkey, and a flock of chickens. No cows, horses, etc. needless to say it was a bit disappointing. There was an additional area that was again non-operational and not well maintained. I don't know if this was due to seasonal influences or poor upkeep. The individual unisex bathrooms located a bit further into the store were a bit better maintained and stocked. Those were largely spaced for those who may use mobility assistance or who have strollers and young children. The store itself is absolutely massive with a huge selection of anything you can think of. It felt like we were walking through a maze of merchandise. (Don't shop here if you're on a budget or you are easily influenced by sale prices.) There is even a pet store with live animals, fish tanks, and a pet groomer located within the store. There were fun diversions throughout the store with animatronics that came to life at the push of a button. Many of them were Wizard of Oz themed; however many were also just fun and quirky. These certainly added to the shopping experience, making it more positive and interactive. Our shopping experience (which took about 2 hours from the time of arrival) provided us with some memorable moments and some good buys. While we weren't amazed, we wouldn't totally write it off and would consider making another trip in the future warmer months to see if the seasonal aspect improves the quality of the experience.

    I think I I found Annabelle... after I took this picture, I felt this weird sense of dread...

    I saw an Instagram reels that made me feel like this would be a decent place to kill time but I left with a weird sense of dread. Walking in, the first thing I saw was what probably was originally a McDonald's Apple Pie Tree from the 80's to be repurposed into the horror before me. There was also a bunch of dolls that reminded me of a combination of Annabelle and Robert the doll. Immediately, I felt this primal sense of dread that the end was near and God does not exist in this place.

    Yikes, Dorothy is looking ROUGH.

    More or less a dilapidated ancient roadside attraction that has a little bit of value if you're into cosplaying "old timey countryside general store" realness. Was probably really bustling and cute in 1983. More or less a huge warehouse that has a variety of types of establishments all piled in together for no apparent reason, including an ACE Hardware and an Ashely Furniture. (I'm guessing these were added at some point by the owners in order to make rental income when the main attraction stopped attracting.) Some notes: Skip the bakery. The baked goods are all flavorless garbage. Yuck. DO get a jar of jam. They're insanely delicious. The animatronics are TRAGIC. They're gross looking, run-down and creepy. Full on "Five Nights at Freddy's" vibes. Enjoy them in a sad way. The "petting zoo" is depressing. It looks like these poor animals are barely taken care of. It's just honestly tearjerking to see four peacocks kept in a smelly, wet, cold barn with a tiny outdoor space to roam surrounded by wire fencing. I imagine if you live in the rural boonies and you want a place to throw a kid's birthday party, most kids would be happy with their little gaming and party area, but it's giving "post apocalyptic Chuck E. Cheese". Overall it's an oddity of a former time in America when such roadside places had charm, but the charm is now dirty, rusty and bordering on grotesque.

    I was very curious and had to stop in on my way back home to NJ. They claim they are the biggest Country Store in the World. They have a very large parking lot, and have handicapped parking up front and in several areas. Be prepared to do a lot of walking. This General Store is really many stores in one all connected. You start at one end of the store and follow the yellow brick pathway through tons of aisles and along the way you can see many animated displays that are interactive and give information to visitors by touching a button. The path will eventually take you through to the many different sections of this Huge General Store,and you will wind up on the other side and come full circle. If you continue there is a fun Kids Section. They have an automated 6 lane bowling alley, and an arcade with all kinds of games. Country Junction General Store has private areas so they can host birthday parties and events. Outside kids love it. They have carnival rides, farm animals and hay rides. Country Junction hosts a number of special events yearly from Spring thru Fall. Back in 2006 there was a huge 10 million dollar fire, 80,000 sq ft was destroyed in their main building. The owner Everett knew the locals needed a place to shop and most of their Christmas items were stored off the premises. He erected a very large tent on the property and was back in business in a week. This place remained like this for two years until it was rebuilt. You will also find Street-Homespun Fudge, Candy, Pies, and more. Bulk candy is sold by the handfuls. There is a Pet Section. You will find pet supplies of all kinds.Pet Foods and Treats, Live Animals, Dogs, Cats Fish, Small Animals and Reptiles. They have Pet Grooming, and Nail Trimming, Do it Yourself Large Wash Stations for rent. You can even purchase puppies of all breeds.You can check online for the different breeds. There is an Ashley Furniture section they have sofas, bedroom sets, dining room etc. Ace Hardware Section for home improvement. Lumber and tools, BBQ Grills etc. There's a Rental Section we're you can rent Excavators, Small Lifts, Dumpsters, Party Equipment Rentals such as Cotton Candy Maker, Popcorn Maker, Hot Dog Roller and more... They have a Service Team that can do Expert Installations of Vinyl Siding, Sturdy Garage Doors, and kitchens. Their indoor space holds a little bit of everything with potato peelers, canned jellies and jams to candles and clothing. If your squimish beware, they have tons of animal heads, and full size animals of all kinds that are stuffed. They have a retail Wine Shop, and Bakery where you can purchase Pennsylvania Dutch desserts. There is something for everyone here. Prices vary, but overall you can definitely find some good buys. It can be a bit corny but that's part of its unique charm.

    Amandalynn W.

    WOW WOW WOW WOW. GET YOUR KIDS, your grandma, grandpa, your aunties, your cousins and ALL in the car rn and GO. So much fun!!!! It is wizard of oz themed throughout the vicinity. There's something to look at around every corner. And lots of buttons to press!!!

Why are you still reading this and not planning a trip there???

    Peacocks outside
    Michelle S.

    Had a lot of fun here! Outside has a nice little petting zoom with goats, chickens, a turkey, peacocks, pigeons and did i mention cute goats? Inside is a very well laid out store with a yellow brick road path to follow and a pretty cool small arcade. Ate at the restaurant; the pizza was amazing!

    5/14/22 My first time at Country Junction. It's in a beautiful setting and I thought it was a fun place to visit. It reminded me of a cross between a low budget Disney and Cabellas with the animatronics. It's definitely different- there is a carnival area in the back that wasn't open when we were there. It was really unique for sure. The place is large and it's a fun place to visit. There's an Ashley furniture store, ace hardware, a snack bar-restaurant (I did not eat there) home decor items, patio furniture, and a grocery area for shelf items. There was also a good looking candy counter. I felt some of the prices were higher than other places but that's understandable given the size of the building. We had a terrific time here and I kept wondering if I would ever find my way out! I did after 45 minutes. The old lady in me kept thinking "God help you if you have a medical emergency". ‍ I'm not sure I would travel a long distance to go but if you're in the area I encourage you to swing by. I didn't purchase anything here but I made up for it by buying a golf cart from Don's down the street.

    Arcade inside
    Kathy T.

    Even with the covid rules in place and following them. It was still very much a pleasant experience something fun to do. Very very diverse place. One minute outside you can be taking a hayride or a corn maze in the fall then the next, you see animals. Then moving inside it is very diverse. Many different kinds of foods. Confections. Around the next corner you can pick out new kitchen countertops, the next minute getting Christmas decorations, the next minute having pizza and video games with the kids. They sure offer a lot of options. I never leave without something from the bakery area.

    Pretty much the only locally farmed "product" for sale here. :(

    1. They sell puppies. Google where pet store puppies come from. NOPE. 2. Years ago, this used to be a fun tourist stop with a unique selection of food items. Now it's more like a lame dollar store that also sells preserves. There were two entire display walls of no-name socks but only a couple of vegetables.

    Interesting place to check out, all kinds of random stuff in the shop, there's a mini bowling place and some arcades. Walk around and explore the store. Pizza and ice cream are pretty good, great space for kid's parties :) friendly staff too! Good to check out if you're looking for something to do around the area. Kids loved it!

    See all

    The store acted like a sort of maze where you had to follow "the yellow brick road" around the store...
