A fun, unique place to visit for 1-2 hours. Our children enjoyed making their own jar candles and making the wax hand molds. Worth stopping in if you're in the area. more

YC is an unique place. You can spend a few hours there just browsing thru all the different areas. Check in Tourist Books for coupons to dip candles. Recommend the hand wax, it was so fun for the kids and also they can make their own candles from an assortment of colors and scents. The clocks are magnificient, the toyshop... more

With the slumping economy my family found that the shopping in Williamsburg was a little lacking. Yankee Candle company was the exception. The store was beautiful. My daughter really liked the dipping activities that were available to her. I liked that there were plenty of free coupons available to let her do those things for free. We all liked the... more

It was hot and we needed a break from outside so we decided to stop. It was like a mini-mall but it was awesome! They have all sizes and scents of Yankee candles and some interesting "make your own candles" The employees were friendly and helpful. We saved the Christmas shop part for last. The kids loved the trees and... more

Thid place was great. We spent like an hour in there just looking around. My kids ages 7 and 14 loved the christmas store where it snowed every 5 minutes or so. They also dipped their own candles for about 3 dollars. You can also make a wax hand. They have discontinued scents as well as new ones. more

I would have given a 4 star except for a rude clerk. When you enter the Yankee Candle, it smells wonderful. My kids headed for the candle dipping area. They each were dipping a 4" taper candle and having a good time. The first clerk was friendly, but another clerk replaced him halfway through the dipping. My son, who is... more

We visited the Yanke Candle store on afternoon after touring Colonial Williamsburg. It was a great place! They have candle dipping stations set up. We had a free coupon from one of the coupon books so my daughter dipped 2 candles for free. It was a lot of fun. The Christmas are of the store is neat and they have... more

My 6 year old son was reluctant to go into a silly candle store but once he got inside he didnt want to leave! This store is simply huge, very well organized and an absolute delight to visit. It smells great in there and all the staff are very friendly and not pushy at all. In addition to thousands of... more

First off, I live in "Yankee" country and most of the stores that once carried these candles have stopped or drastically reduced their inventory. I have read about this place and couldn't wait to see it in person. I was not disappointed! This kids loves the Christmas Village and the snow and trains. We were there a good 90 minutes.... more

I have always been a candle person, so of course we had to stop in here. First of all, it's huge! Apparently there is only one other store like this in the country. I was surprised at how much there was to see and do. The kids loved that it "snowed" in the Christmas section...every 3 1/2 minutes foam snow... more
