Looking for something unique, its here. I was in Nutcracker heaven. So many colors and themes. I wish I could buy them all. There is a price for everyone and you will love adding one of these pieces to your Christmas decor. Looking for that special gift its here. The train displays traveling through the Christmas towns made you feel the spirit of Christmas. And if you werent excited about Christmas when you arrived you will definitely leave excited for Christmas an a little lighter.

Discovered this place by accident. Wow, what a great place for Christmas. Even encountered a craftsman working on a project. Could have been Santa 🎅, not sure

My wife wanted to go. Thats how the trip began. Easy to find easy parking the building was much larger than I expected. We walked in the front entrance and was greeted by a sign that said trains upstairs... As we walked deeper into the store I slowly became in awe of the level of detail and variety of items they had. The displays were well staged and fun for all ages. Found toys that brought me back to my childhood. Lots of xmas decorations and gifts for younger. Upstairs they had 4 large models behind glass that simply were amazing.

Visited today, they are still forcing masks because although the owner doesnt care, other people do I guess they are willing to turn away customers who suffer from neurological conditions which prevent them wearing a mask because other customers are afraid (but apparently not afraid enough to get vaccinated or stay home). Too bad, we just bought a house in the area and we love Christmas.

Always loved the Christmas dove since I was little. Free outdoor concerts in the summer. Christmas trees decorated in a myriad of ways, including ones on the ceiling. Working lionel train sets upstairs. Even a working coin operating piano, its a must visit store!

I have not visited the Christmas Dove for quite a while. The store is just like I remember. There is a good selection of ornaments, but I noticed there were fewer than in past years. I assume Santas workshop and delivery schedule has also been affected by COVID-19. It was a joy watching the kids look at the ornaments and watching the working displays throughout the store. The pandemic has destroyed most of the holidays weve had this year, but walking around the store made it feel more like a normal Christmas shopping trip. It was worth the drive from MA.

Christmas Dove is a year round Christmas shop. Its legendary in the area as the go to place for all things Christmas. Ornaments, decorations, trees and far more. On top of all their items, its a wonderful place to stroll through. Room after room of Christmas decor that makes it feel cozy and warm all year. Ornaments are plentiful, including ones you can have personalized with names, dates etc by an amazing calligrapher. Make a visit on your to do list!

Part of our annual holiday tradition. Theyve really improved the products lines and the store is packed with beautiful options. Stephs gorgeous penmanship makes their personalized ornaments a treasure. Mrs. Moisan is a staple at the cash register and she is the sweetest! Definitely a place to visit with the entire family. Keep the little close as a few broken Radkos could set you back quite a bit.

Nice place many interesting seasonal items mostly Christmas of course, can be crowded during Xmas. Biggest gripe is they tend to be pricey, but they are a local small biz not Amazon.

Review №35

So many nice things, including a painting class! Everything from art to trees, to trains, and Halloween. Seriously everything, including Santas room. This is not your typical run of the mill gift store, this is the so much more store. Many handmade things, rare items... you have to see this.

You want an amazing destination any time of the year? Go to this beautiful store. Be greeted by local celebrity Portland the cat ask to hear Portlands story. A wonderfully nostalgic trip with tin toys by schilling a amazing model train that has a built in display spanning the entire length of a huge room. Enjoy and art class, look at impeccable christmas themed rooms and decor. This is not just shopping it is an experience!

I called and asked for something specific, the gentleman that answered knew they had it, gave me the price andd held it until I could pick it up.He also informed of current construction and gave directions on how to access entrance.I have gone there many times before as well. If you love Christmas Decorations, it is the place to go. They are also doing painting parties and have a florist.

I remember going here when I was a child and how wonderful magical it felt. A maze of rooms each with a different theme leading through an enormous building full of Christmas displays. Over the past 30-plus years it seems that the building has continued to expand with new displays including a reading room with a comfy chair and all kinds of Christmas books. Their toys are well made, very reasonably priced and include items that I havent seen anywhere else including stuffed animals, puppets andtin toys. My favorite part of the store was always the second floor where the enormous train display allows visitors to control multiple engines and towns in a space that, were it downstairs, would have taken up at least five rooms. Right now that area is a German Market with beautiful German made ornaments. This is a must-see shop but make sure you give yourself enough time!

Wow. What a place to shop for Christmas decorations or out of the ordinary gifts you wont find anywhere else, year round. Family owned and operated with better than expected service and customer engagement. Plenty of parking and two floors of amazing finds. You have to go see this place.
