While recently shopping in Smithville we decided to check out this artsy gift shop and ended up…read morepurchasing a few things for the family. It's a nifty spot with all kinds of cool trinkets, glassware, and chotskies. Some cool stuff here. A mix of estate merchandise and items of all kinds, including musical motion clocks, flickering light canvas pictures, antique looking colored glassware, statues, jewelry boxes shaped like animals, religious items, small furniture pieces, ornate picture frames, stuffed animals, and many other fanciful artifacts. Definitely worth checking out if looking to buy a present for mom or grandma. Pleasant service and reasonable prices too.

The staff was nice, knowledgeable, and not on you like vultures (like some of the surrounding Smithville shops). I had nothing to buy, but it was definitely fun perusing.

From cook books to T-shirts to Patron Saints medals, candy, pasta, jars of sauce, even beautiful leather goods. I purchased a lovely St. Brigid medal for Mini-Me and she was very happy with her gift. I can't wait to come back and spend more time.

I spent 4 days in the Village -midweek-during June 2026. Lots of fun shopping. Plenty of gifty…read moretype shops, but also some specialty shops like a cooking gadget shop, a store selling lovely things from Ireland, a shop selling things from Italy and a Christmas shop open all year long. Prices are what you'd expect from a tourist location. Staff were friendly and helpful. Plenty of places to get food and beverages. Definitely worth the trip, but I understand it's absolutely packed on weekends. I have some mobility issues, but there are plenty of places to sit. I think most of the grounds are accessible for a wheelchair or baby carriage, but the ground is a bit uneven in places so you need to be careful. One thing to note is that most shops are not really wheelchair accessible, nor can they accommodate a stroller, although some have ramps. The shops are quite full of merchandise, so it would be hard to move around with a wheelchair or stroller.

Small Cutesy little Village…read more We came on a whim around noon and walked around shoppes. I liked them, but they weren't very unique. Ate at Fred and Ethel's Lantern Light Tavern. The wait for 2 people was 45mins around 2pm, but as we finished eating around 330pm the restaurant was getting emptier. Food was average. There isn't much for kids to do. Just a carousel, s'mores, train ride ($4 per person for a 5min ride) and the talking tree. You can do everything in under an hour and everything is more fun after dark of course. I was very excited for the "light show," which was extremely underwhelming. There was maybe 20ish little trees made of lights, spread out around the lake area and they were flashing synced with songs. Seriously... that is it... Lake was dried out so maybe that took away from the experience ? Doubt it. My partner and I had a great time, but it is not somewhere I would like to visit more then once.
