There are so many options for paint, glitter, accessories and objects to paint. The staff kindly walked us through the steps and process providing excellent customer service. There is a wide selection of anything mermaids in this store as well. I searched online and Etsy for similar mermaids and they do not exist. I found this service and product is very much worth the value to create your own piece of art and souvenir unique to Norfolk. You can also bring your own wine, have a date night or ladies night here. I have tried a few paint nights and similar craft shops, this one is by far my favorite.

ABSOLUTE SCAM they charged my brother $487 FOR 3 SHIRTS. 2 shirts for free and only pay for the designs. They never mentioned the prices and they STAYED around him pressuring and persisting. My boyfriend was around him and they managed to separate them so their next steps were never questioned. They had glorified both of them in weird ways and they persisted about their printed shirts. I will tell everyone right now question everything and never enter these kinds of stores alone. We were separated and that was our first mistake

This store was one of the few places open at the time so we went inside to see what they had. Typical tourist gift shop with souvenir clothing, toys, beach apparel and toys, snacks, alcohol beverages etc. They're basically an all-in-one shop if you need anything from food to clothing! Of course everything has the tourist price tag though. My brother in law purchased a beach hat so he wouldn't burn up in the summer sun and that cost him a whopping $50. They definitely have some cute stuff but you'll be paying the tourist pricing for it! Cute shop though.

If you enjoy outlet shopping, the Williamsburg Premium Outlets are definitely worth a visit. The…read moreplace is enormous--probably twice the size of any outlet center I've visited in years. Just about every major brand you can think of is here, making it easy to spend several hours shopping if that's your thing. The only downside is the layout. Instead of being designed so you can start at one end and work your way through the entire center--or follow a convenient loop--the stores are spread across multiple sections. We noticed a lot of people parking, visiting a few stores, then getting back in their cars to drive to another section and repeat the process. It doesn't make for the most efficient shopping experience. We happened to visit during a stretch of 100°+ temperatures, so walking from one section to another simply wasn't practical. We visited the stores we wanted to see, then called it a day. In cooler weather, it would be much easier to spend several hours exploring everything the outlets have to offer. Overall, the selection is outstanding. Whether you're looking for clothing, shoes, accessories, home goods, or specialty stores, chances are you'll find what you're looking for. Just plan ahead, wear comfortable shoes, and if you're visiting during the summer, be prepared to use your car to get between sections.

Also they have a homemade ice cream cafe in the rear of the store called Bigfoot's Ice Cream Shack (formerly Bubba's). All ice cream is made in house with unique flavors such as strawberry cheesecake, pistachio almond, peachy peach, southern blackberry cobbler, orange swirl and many more. There's option from cups, waffle cones, shakes and sundaes. I try their southern blackberry cobbler, peachy peach and salted caramel brownie. They all have their own unique flavors but the blackberry cobbler was creamy, smooth and delicious. All their staff are amazingly friendly, knowledgeable and patient. If I am ever in the area again, I will definitely make another visit to get some gifts since holidays are approaching and can't leave until I try other flavors of their homemade treats. They also have outside seatings too.
