10/10 Best Tabletop Gaming store in West Michigan!…read more Jesse has helped build an amazing community that has something for everyone. If you have ever wanted to get into tabletop gaming, modeling, painting, or TCG's like Magic: The Gathering Far Harbor is the place to be! Jesse (the owner) and the other players there are always willing to lend a hand and answer questions about any of the product in store. Which is a TON of product! You will never find a more knowledgeable staff and player base than the one at Far Harbor. They all actually play the games that the store sells, rather than other "game stores" that just sell product but don't know anything about the game at all. They offer a great discount on most items, and also host a TON of community events like tournaments, demo days, and even hobby days. If your looking to get the best value out of your hard earned hobby money Far Harbor is the place to go! Plus Ash is the best boy of a shop dog!

Hobby Recycling is located just west of Grand Rapids. Besides having new merchandise they have gently used trains and scenery too. I have assembled an almost complete Amtrak Empire Builder and Santa Fe Chief. I also have a good start on a UP passenger train and Sound Transit's Sounder. If you have champagne taste and a Budweiser budget, this is the place to come for gently used trains.

It's a…read moregreat place to shop for console games/equipment, board games and collectible card games, especially Magic the Gathering cards. I found the staff here just as friendly and laid-back as the staff at the southern GR location. I'm really a fan of how they have their cards organized set by set. I could also tell that there's a decent amount of community support as the gaming tables started to fill up with folks playing MTG and other games. I still had plenty of room to sift through old cards and collectibles while other customers browsed or chatted with the staff. I felt the selection of collectible cards was more expansive at this location, and will definitely be back. Certainly, a very solid gaming/hobby shop.

Lots of collectible card game materials

It closes soon and will open again next spring. Products are pricy, so I recommend checking prices at other places,

Reits Flea Market

There is produce, bulk candies, confections, a boot store, a shoe store, so many clothing and jewelry options in addition to vintage and handmade items. There are a lot of seasonal vendors there as well as new comers regularly. Some massive shops and some with a table and canopy. The atmosphere is always friendly people, both sellers and shoppers. Everyone was very welcoming and accommodating. We just finished our second weekend of selling, going back for the 3 day weekend for 4th of July and while I'm exhausted I am excited. Camping is on your site for the most part/ in your vehicle and there are air conditioned restrooms open 24h. Being able to come on Friday without extra charge is valuable if you are not seasonal, giving extra time to be organized without pressing yourself so much in the morning. Cathy's Kitchen has great coffee and breakfast, I've not had their lunch and they are not open for dinner. Everyone in there is so friendly. Free parking and admission make this a great value and must stop for shoppers and no one should be disappointed in doing so. Many people bring their dogs, of all sizes and breeds, some in strollers. They also have puppies for sale/ to adopt, though I'm not the biggest fan of that especially in the heat. There's a country market across the street (not affiliated) with a nice variety of offerings to accommodate your stay as well. Put Reits on your list if you haven't been yet, just bring your sunbrella, sunscreen and water for you and your pet if you bring them. Hope to see you there!

Someone had mentioned the stones in the driveways. They ARE difficult to walk on within the market area. The only other issue was the number of vehicles driving through the market area when open. There isn't enough room for cars AND walkers. Not interested in a further visit. I'd sure would have liked to see the variety and really wanted some wood planters. Oh well. FAR from the best.
