Had alot of fun, really nice little place hidden away of Rt. 1 near Ninigret Park. Always enjoy dropping in totally unexpectedly and easily able to spend an hour or two just checking out the amazing plants in the greenhouse and then walking the grounds and checking out all the little quaint stores on the grounds. Picked up these three beautiful little gems on my last visit. Will be back again for the end of the season sales.

The Fantastic Umbrella Factory is a must stop!! My entire family had such a fun time walking though the eclectic stores, exploring the bamboo forest, and enjoying the beautiful grounds. Make sure you are not in a rush when you go, and enjoy leisurely strolling through the entire place. I highly recommend the Fantastic Umbrella Factory!!

Strange and not really worth a stop unless you have nothing else to do. Guide books do NOT clearly explain what to expect here. It’s almost like a commune of random hippie-style arts and crafts shops. Some crafts are authentic, others are not.

You can technically bring them, however they have to remain in the car. They have free range chickens and guinea hens, as well as emus and goats that are fenced in, so no pets unless they stay in the car.
