Yankee Candle Village In South Deerfield, Massachusetts

I’m sure you are familiar with Yankee Candles. But, did you know that Yankee Candles has a Village in South Deerfield, MA where you’ll find one of the best toy shops complete with a full-size sleigh, gifts traveling above you, and a fun boat to explore? You’ll also find a candy shop, a fudge counter, a coffee counter, an ice cream counter, ornaments for every occasion, unique household items, unusual foods, candle making activities, a place to write letters to Santa, a chance to meet Santa, and/or Mrs. Claus, a room filled with working snow and

Halloween villages, snow falling every four minutes (in the form of candle wax), a medieval room, a nutcracker room, several props for Kodak moments, and of course candles are galore – all under one roof. If it’s fall time, and you’re looking for a great fall picture with the kids, Yankee Candle has your back. The outside is elaborately decorated with fall displays! Phew! That’s a lot to pack into one place!

After all of the excitement inside, head outside onto the wrap around porch to sit in one of the many rocking chairs, or relax at a picnic table in the yard. If you’re still hungry after sampling the fudge, follow the sidewalk to Chandler’s Restaurant and get a bite to eat.

Favorite Season To Visit:
Definitely Fall. I love the smell of candles on a nice, crisp autumn day! The fall displays outside to make a great Kodak moment.
Winter is also a great season. Most of the entertainment is in the HEATED indoors. If you celebrate Christmas, the sleigh pulled by a giant, stuffed reindeer make another great Kodak moment.
