Had a blast at Alien Fresh Jerkey road stop!!…read more Driving from LA to Nevada this was one of our major road stops. It's super cute and I'm obsessed with the theme. Definitely a worth while stop! The Jerkey is delicious (from what my friend told me) and I love the Alien and X-Files theme!! Totally Area 51 coded.

They have deals like $22 for 8oz bag Or select 2; 3.5 oz bags for $22 Their AC is blasting, even the restroom felt great, selection of other snacks and drinks etc... pretty cool place to visit! Even my 9 year old was the one that told me to stop by on the way home

Thank you wonderful hubby, I am so glad he did. I LOVE, Loved this shop, it sure brought back nostalgic memories of my childhood days, growing up in the late 80s, everything brought back memories. I had the greatest time shopping here, I was so excited , emotional at the same time, I shared with my big kids about each items, product, my memories-and hubby & kids thought I was crazy.. hehe. The Station Joshua Tree is a funky store in Palm Springs, after 29 Palms, with quirky merchandise and nostalgic collectibles. The one thing that I wanted to get and miss are those colorful charms with the necklace, $125.00 for the entire set, those were one of my favorites to collect during the 80s. That is so vintage! The friendship bracelet was another memories, I remember making those. All in all, what a surprise, such a fun store to take it all in and we had so much fun taking photos, great photo opt in front of the statue, use the selfie stand, we did so many different selfie photos. Don't miss out on this shop, a must stop with the coolest stuff and vintage vibe- I would visit again and again!!

It's a very fun store to explore taking your time to see what they offer. They had toys for decent prices, tshirts, hats, and so much more. Good selections of snacks and drinks as well. My son had some organic lemonade which was refreshing especially on a hot day. There were small rides for little ones to enjoy. Make sure to bring quarters for them. The owner was completely nice and gave my son a little toy for free. I thought it was so kind of him to do so. Don't forget to take a picture with the tall statue of the tall cowboy holding up the Joshua Tree sign. Excellent spot for great pictures for memory. Put this on your bucket list when making a trip to Joshua Tree.

There are so many shops here, ranging from food spots to souvenir shops, and it's honestly a really…read morelovely area to walk around! Some of the shops have their own unique spark, which I really liked. At least not every souvenir shop feels exactly the same, so there's a little more variety when you're browsing around. I also really liked that there were different themed restaurants and dessert shops throughout the area. It was nice to see those little pops of something different instead of everything feeling too similar. Another big plus is that there's plenty of parking, with lots of different parking lots around the area, so we weren't too worried about finding a spot. It was also pretty cool to see a horse-drawn carriage going down the road! It was definitely moving slowly, but it was unexpected and made for a fun little thing to watch while we were walking around.

Those following my Yelp reviews are reading this following my review for Big Bear Lake where I…read moremention my connection to bears (my name meaning "Little Bear"), to Big Bear city and my obsession with Jackie and Shadow: the bald eagle King and Queen holding court from 165-foot Jeffrey Pine tree overlooking the lake. I also mention the benefits to Angelinos to escape our smog-ridden city and escape to fresh air and a slow pace for hiking, boating, skiing or even relaxing in a cabin. But Big Bear also offers something we are all familiar with: wining, dining and shopping! When you've spent the day experiencing Big Bear's natural wonders; you can cap the day off in Big Bear Village. Big Bear Village is the charming tourist hub quarters of Big Bear where you will find the Big Bear Welcome Center, gift shops ranging from toys, crystals, beef jerky, leather and everything in between; bars and restaurants and even public restrooms. The village features all levels of dining from casual neighborhood eateries to elegant romance perfect for dates and holidays and is the ideal place to purchase Big Bear tourist merch and trinkets. Big Bear Village is perfectly walkable and offers a free public parking lot and street parking but beware that even in 'off-season' - it is busy as a bee hive! For those SoCal residents familiar with Solvang (near Santa Barbara) and Old Temecula; Big Bear Village is a similar esthetic. If you are a fan of bears, then Big Bear Village is your playground as it is filled with bear statues curbside on every corner, each and every shop seems to brand itself with a punny name referring to bears and there is bear imagery everywhere! Even though not in Big Bear Village; my favorite bear in the city is a bear statue dressed as a marshal at the Big Bear Superior Court. I am sure this is very intimating to the bear criminals! Big Bear Village is bear-y adorable and the ideal area for tourists to dine and shop. Note: Big Bear Village is not where you will find stores like Dollar Tree, Marshalls, Starbucks, Verizon, Vons etc; as these are in a different area at the east shore of the lake. I don't know if this is just towards tourists or simply the Big Bear way of life but everyone is so kind in Big Bear with amazing customer service! Employees are endlessly complimentary, friendly and guarantee a pleasant experience. We even met the kindest waitress, Janet, at nearby Benny's diner who told us her life story and is probably our friend forever now. This is certainly NOT Los Angeles! Big Bear Village is the tourist shopping/dining hub that will sure to be(ar) a delight to all tourists and is a must-see when in Big Bear. Be sure to take a photo with one of the bear statues: it is basically mandatory!

I want to go back sometime. I happened to stop by during one of their art classes, so I didn't…read moreexplore the back of the store or watch the class (I did overhear here and there: the instructor was very encouraging and addressed the students by name.) I would like to try a class or two in the future! For the store itself: I was greeted right away and the sales associate (forgive me, I do not remember her name at the moment) made herself available for questions. Think of this store like a mini-locally-owned Hobby Lobby or Michael's (knick-knacks, seasonal decor, decor accents for the kitchen, living room, den, yard, etc.). Everything was organized, displays were easy to maneuver around (explored this store while wearing my napping 10-month old so ease of being able to move in a store while babywearing is a priority!) So yes I am impressed and will return again. If you need a gift or a craft I would recommend this place, especially if the larger craft stores are intimidating, your first time in a craft store and don't want to be overwhelmed, or are just curious--like I was). Looking forward to getting to know this store and tapping into some kreativity soon!
