    Busch Gardens, great time with family! Even good for toddlers. Antique Mall was fun as well with tons of choices.

    Who knew that honey and mead could be so interesting? Our hostess was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions with aplomb. If we are ever again in the Williamsburg area, it will be a stop we will make.

    This place has some great shops and is so much more laid back than other outlets I've been to. Great deals on shoes at Reebok. Cool place

    Williamsburg Premium is a nice outlet mall that I usually visit when I'm in the area. It's nicely laid out and well maintained. The stores are typical for an outlet mall and often have pretty good deals. I found a nice pair of tennis shoes on this trip.

    It's worth the stop

    I have been buying peanuts from Whitley's since the late 80's when I lived in Williamsburg. I now live in Fredericksburg Va and make trips to Whitley's several times a year. Last year during one of our visits they had a LTO of Asiago cheese peanuts. Luckily I bought 5 boxes of them. I was so hoping during my visit today the would still have some. Unfortunately not but. All of their peanuts and cashews are extremely good. But wow I so hope they will bring back the Asiago ones. Thanks for great peanuts and such nice friendly and helpful managers there.

    Independent bookstore beneath Kilwin's (near Peanut Shop and Parking Garage). Smaller selection of seasonal books than on previous trips. Also sells ephemera (postcards, maps, etc.).

    During a couples’ trip to Williamsburg my wife and I visited A Touch of Earth on Richmond Rd. A Touch of Earth has been in business for 45 years and advertises itself as “An American Craft Galley.” Everything in this store is an original work of art made by American artist. We have visited Williamsburg many times and shopped along Richmond Rd before, but this was our first time visiting this pleasant little shop.
    From the moment we walked in we were warmly greeted and had a nice chat with the storekeeper who was eager to talk about the store and its products. As we browsed around, we were very impressed by all the attractive artwork – especially the colorful, decorative glass and ceramic artwork, and the amusing dog and cat clocks with swinging tails.
    So, if you are in the Williamsburg/Lightfoot area and interested in buying or browsing crafts or artwork, A Touch of Earth is certainly worth a visit. A Touch of Earth is in The Gallery Shops strip mall in Lightfoot, VA about ½ mile North of Lightfoot Rd, where Richmond road is divided by a median. The stores in this strip mall are set back from Richmond Road.

    Yes the candy is a little on the high-end, but I will say the chocolate is definitely worth it. We bought a pound of various chocolates, just great, especially the mint cream square thing, delicious!! Also enjoyed all the other choices behind the case, gummies, licorice and more. Things on the main floor are priced a little higher than you can get elsewhere but it is a tourist location, and there are a LOT of choices in one place. Love going here, a Williamsburg tradition.

    This was fun to visit. The staff was very knowledgeable about the product and introduced us to their reward program. We got some wonderful peanuts and plan to stop again.

    Incredibly kind employees! I think each of them spoke to myself and my husband in the course of our time here. They were incredibly helpful when it came to picking out spices and just chatting in general.

    Quirks is exactly what it promises-quirky, whimsical, and an amazing little gallery! It is always a pleasure to stop in and see what new art they have in the shop, and with the owner, manager and staff being so friendly it is impossible to not return.
    Plus, they basically have me addicted to Houston Llew Spiritiles, so being able to stop in and see what new tiles are out is a HUGE plus.

    This store has a lot of great t-shirts and souvenirs for tourists to check out and buy! The only thing I'd reccomend is that they make a website where you can shop online too.
