2 Best Shopping in Bucks County, Pennsylvania

Peddler's Village began in the early 1960s, when the late Earl Jamison bought a 6-acre chicken farm, moved local 18th-century houses to the site, and opened a collection of specialty shops and restaurants. The 70 shops in the village peddle books, toys, clothing, jewelry, candles, cookware and housewares, crafts and other items. The Grand Carousel, a restored 1922 merry-go-round, still works, and Giggleberry Fair offers a bonanza of games for its loud little visitors. Crowd-drawing seasonal events include May's Strawberry Festival and September's Scarecrow Festival.

Near Peddler's Village, Rice's Market is an open-air market open every Tuesday and Saturday morning with bargains on new and used items, including clothing, jewelry, handbags, toys, produce, meats, and baked goods. There are some antiques and collectibles, too. It's generally open from 7 am to 1 pm.
