When you think of Yankee Candle Village, it sounds like a candle store. Wow, is it so much more. We spent about 4 hours there. However, that does also include lunch at Chandler's Restaurant. The village includes a toy store, home store, candy shop, Bavarian Village, Christmas Village and even a place where you can make your own candles or cast your hands in wax. One of my favorites was the candle-making museum. We also stopped at The Old Deerfield Country Store, which is right down the street.
In the Bavarian Village section of the Yankee Candle VIllage, it snows all year long.
It's Christmas all year long.
Yankee Candle takes guarding its candles quite seriously.
All real German steins are expensive (and worth the price) but this one will set you back $6,000!
The Yankee Candle Candy Store is enough to make any adult feel like a kid.
Some people put pickles on their burgers, some put them on their Christmas tree

Have you ever seen such huge mums?
Nothing says Fall like a wagon full of pumpkins
Horse drawn wagon rides
Yes, that is a cow with Yankee Candles painted all over it
The porches around Yankee Candle Village are the perfect place sit and enjoy the Fall weather. There are also rocking chairs that are way more confortable than these church benches.

I would've bought some pumpkins but lugging them back from Massachussetts might've been a pain.
