Normally if I get anything Vera Bradley anywhere, I only get it while it's on sale. I needed a bag and so I took a closer look and decided to purchase one. The employees were really helpful.

As I am more into gifts, I'll have to revisit on another day to check out their other selections - seems like a cool spot. Visited June 2024.

It was bitterly cold the day we went and Santa exited the trolley and went to a bench area in a doorway , but there was no organization, parents letting their kids photo bomb others photo ops....it was messy. The little craft room was cute with hot cocoa and cookies, but it was far too small to be enjoyable for the amount of people In the room. The miniature train was cute but kept coming off the track on our visit and needed repair. We did enjoy going in the train cars although it was freezing in that area. The trolley ride with Santa and Mrs. Claus was cute and fun. This was the whole purpose of our visit and also the favorite for both the kids and myself. It was really beautiful as it had just snowed the night before so it really provided that special atmosphere a recent snowfall brings to an activity. I loved feeling like we were riding through the forest and I know the kids did too.
