All shopping should be this fun! The national brand Yankee Candle created a huge village of different shops that include toys, a general store, Pandora, candles (of course), and more. Each "village" offers something unique; the Christmas shop has snow that comes every four minutes. It's very interactive, and kids love it too—they can make their own candles, paint shapes, and form designs they can take home by dunking their hands in wax moulds.
