Everything from charming décor to unique, magical little treasures. Some items are definitely on the pricier side, but many are totally justifiable for the quality and craftsmanship. My wife picked up two gemstone crystal necklaces that she absolutely loves, and they even gifted her a free little snowman plush/decoration, which was super sweet. The outdoor displays are beautiful as well and really add to the whole enchanted vibe. Absolutely love the vibes here! Highly recommend stopping in if you're exploring the River Place Shops!

We stopped by yesterday when in the River Place Shops, although nothing piqued our interest. I last shopped here in May 2021 with some friends. Worth stopping by if you are looking for a gift or something unique though. Lots of fairy-related items too and things like that.

This place was very cool. I've always wanted to stop by but they close at 5:30 p.m. and I'm usually…read morefurther into town at that point. However we parked at the mall across the street on this trip and this was right across the street. My husband really wants a grandfather clock and he was very excited to check out the selection. Prices seemed kind of high to me but to be fair I don't know anything about grandfather clocks, lol. They also have a nice selection of Frankenmuth magnets, they ranged from like $4 to $10. I ended up buying one of the $4 ones. The reason I'm bumping up this review to five stars is because I lost my Fitbit there (Fitbit Zip, an old one that sits on my waist, not my watch) and when my husband and I got to Kern's and realized it, we rushed back to the store to check there first (it was 530pm). The (owner? Employee?) welcomed us back, and another customer immediately pointed to it on the floor. Saved us a lot of hassle and had they closed immediately at 530pm, the doors may have been locked. Looking forward to checking this store out again the next time we are in town.

The friendliest, coziest clock shoppe, ever. It doesn't matter if we have business here, it's a…read morestopping point every time we come to town. The sweetest folks work here. Always a great conversation and an education in time pieces. The group in the back can repair or restore most anything. We've had two intricate grandfathers restored and they do incredible work. One took six months and the other seven. The wait was well worth it. Back to the store. They have clocks of all sizes and price ranges. On our initial visit to the store we spent over an hour, like it were a museum. This isn't the dime store, so know that you'll be paying a hefty price for most any clock here. Again, it's an investment that justifies the price. This is also your place for authentic German Christmas pyramids. We bought the pyramid with Seiffen church for under $100. A neat little wooden pyramid with a German church, carolers and a Christmas tree. When the tea lights are lit, the rising heat causes the blades to turn. I recommend that on your first visit you take in everything. If something grabs you, you grab it back. Otherwise, bring your funds on all future trips! 05/22

This is an interesting store with a lot of knick knack type of gift shop items. We saw a lot of…read morefigurines, jewely, ornaments, wood carving, clothing, knives, and other items. Some of the knives were really cool but pretty pricey. It was $100 for a nice small knife. We weren't too interested in the other items in the shop.

I can't…read moresay I buy something EVERY l time i enter, but have always been impressed with all the staff and the merchandise is always great quality. Over the years things have become more pricey, as has anywhere else that's touristy, but I will say they have some very cool and unusual things they carry that if I did have loads of extra cash I would purchase! Like these really cool heads, all the fairy things, leather products. Have some pictures included. The one thing we went in for this year a couple weeks ago was to check out the new bar. They even have a pretty good size outdoor patio that unfortunately we didn't get to take advantage of because of the rainy weather. It was still open for late October though which was nice. The bartender was extremely nice that day(we were in town from Oct 23-26)and very knowledgeable about the Zehnder family, Bavarian Inn, etc. It was a nice conversation we had for sure since I've been coming to Frankenmuth for so many years. Going off the Fall special drink list, I tried the Cranky Mule, my daughter tried the Frankenstein Monster one. For $8, it was a good size and decent price. No complaints they were both good! Will be going back here for a quick drink next time shopping here again. One special note, I believe there is a coupon for a free gift in the visitors coupon book. The minimum purchase has gone up, but the free gift has always been something nice here.

Finding Vintage items to place in my Printers Drawer that I have in my kitchen can be a challenge. But at Paradise Vintage I've found several adorable pieces that fit the tiny spaces. Also purchased a trio of standing Porcelain Frogs that are dressed up for Halloween. This item was a limited edition and will be cherished forever. We used Frogs on our Wedding invites 28 yrs ago. it is very difficult to find Holiday themed Frog items. Also was looking for a Vintage Ironstone pitcher to place on the table with florals. At Paradise Vintage we found one and it was 50% off. We have been extremely Happy with our items and the store is well organized and clean. Staff is friendly and the various vendors keep their areas well stocked. Go there to look around and you will be very impressed.

There are so many incredible, quaint shops to explore, and a bunch of them offer free samples, which makes wandering around even more fun. We've still got plenty to come back for too, like the Ultimate Mirror Maze and the Blacksmith Experience. Some of our favourite stores we visited this trip were Sticky Situations, Enchanted Forest, Zac & Mac's Chocolate Haus, and Cherry Republic, all packed with personality and great finds.
