I'm definitely not a fan of going shopping, but there's something about this "Village" that I really enjoy. I like strolling from shop to shop, perusing all the things I don't really need. Great place to find unique gifts, though. Maybe it's the absence of "chain" stores that makes this more palatable. Speaking of palates, don't miss Franklin's General Store!!... More

This is a must do if in the area. Parking is free. The village is full of local shops from souvenirs, clothing, and lunch. The grilled cheese, bacon, tomato on sourdough at the Bleu Squid is an absolute must.

The sign says 60 shops. It is a nice little shopping "village". Good variety. Pet gift shop, Christmas shop, clothing shops, etc.

This was my 4th trip to Old Mistick Village to shop. I live 2 hours away and enjoy this shopping excursion every time. I always find something here. The shops are small, quaint, clean and charming. I will return in the future.

We found quite a few gifts to bring home. Not too expensive. Definitely fun to walk around. A local and tourist attraction.

You will probably buy something you don't need.Nice shops, great to kill some time and walk around. Lots of small shops that sell everthing from Jewlery to Home made Fudge. Kids enjoyed it as well.
