The title of this Yelp listing is a little deceiving. Yes, there is a gift shop here. But Wheeling…read moreArtisan Center is also a venue with a little gallery upstairs and a restaurant downstairs. The gift shop is great. There are lots of Wheeling- and West Virginia-related items to purchase. I was looking for some kind of Mothman something-or-other, and I found a few cool cryptid knickknacks. I've said it before and I'll say it again: West Virginians love their cryptids and myths, and I love it. The gift shop also had lots of clothing, soaps, durable edible goods, art and other things. There's a restaurant inside the Wheeling Artisan Center, but it looked closed when we visited. Upstairs, there's a gallery with historic Wheeling items on display. You can learn about things that were made or originated in Wheeling, like Bayer aspirin, Mail Pouch Tobacco signs, and even a type of cigar. It's fun to peruse while you're in the area, and it's also free to visit.

Mocassins are made by Minnetownka which are all over the store. Check out the Native American headdresses on sale as you browse. They are very expensive as well as beautiful. They also carry suede and leather jackets, coonskin caps, Indian jewelry, pottery, carved gift boxes as well as some budget food. The boots are quality with famous names associated with them. Feel free to try them on before you purchase. The store is basically what you make of it. I was looking for Native American dolls and having found a few noticed that they were not authentic. Take time to check it out if you are in the area. Located near Dallas Pike exit on I 70 in WV, they have their own parking lot.

It's a gift shop! It's a dinosaur museum! It's an ice cream parlor! It's an educational store!…read moreSMART Centre Market is all of these things and more. This place does not have any real internet presence. In fact, I'm just now adding their listing to Yelp with this review. SMART Centre Market is definitely a hidden gem. It's well hidden from everyone, but it shouldn't be. This place is great! I just happened to come upon SMART Centre Market when visiting Wheeling. They have a gigantic dinosaur torso busting out of the front of their brick building. "What the heck is that?" I thought. And then: "That looks derivatively like the dinosaur that's busting out of the front of The Children's Museum of Indianapolis." Well, after talking to one of the owners of SMART, it turns out that the dinosaur at the front of the building is in fact based on the dinosaurs at The Children's Museum! How weird to be so far away from Indy and yet come across something so dear to my heart where I live? Anyway, SMART has all kinds of dinosaur treasures to look at, including displays of fossils. There are STEM toys to play with, books to read, and science-related things to purchase if the mood strikes you. The store used to be the site of a bank, so the restroom is inside a safe! You have to see it to believe it. SMART Centre Market might just have the most interesting restroom in all of Wheeling. I didn't get to visit the ice cream parlor inside SMART Centre Market, but I did peek inside, and there were several flavors of ice cream to choose from. There are little tables in the ice cream parlor, so you can sit and enjoy your ice cream before or after perusing the rest of SMART Centre. The owners are former science teachers. They have a real interest and passion in STEM topics and dinosaurs, which you can tell just by visiting. They also love interacting with children! My children were delighted by them, and my youngest asked me if we could visit again the next day. SMART Centre Market offers classes and camps for kids throughout the year -- just visit their social media to learn what they are and when they take place.

We purchased an original piece of art for ourselves as a birth present when our son was born. We took the art to a local framing company and they wanted in excess of $900. We took it to Braun's when we were up visiting family and they charged half of that and it was an amazing experience. They took the time to understand the type of framing we wanted and made excellent suggestions. I wouldn't trust my framing to anyone else now that I've found Braun's.
