Enchanted Highway Gift Shop
Regent, North Dakota
Open since 2001, the Enchanted Highway Gift Shop is essentially the welcome center for the Enchanted Highway. For those traveling south from the interstate, any pent-up needs for souvenirs will be satisfied here. The shop sells t-shirts and wind chimes of all of Gary Greff's monumental sculptures, as well as Enchanted Highway shot glasses, souvenir plates, and sculpture miniatures -- and ice cream.
The Enchanted Highway Gift Shop is open daily during the summer months, though even during the off-season you might find someone down the street at the Enchanted Castle who will unlock the door for you and run the cash register.
Outside, at the push of a button, a large animated Greff sculpture of a family in a cutaway house swings into motion: children jump on a bed, other kids are dunked in a tub by grandma, mom cooks dinner, dad leans back in his recliner.
There's a head-in-the-hole photo-op of the Tin Farm Family, and visitors can pose in a photo-op herd of 2-D painted bison.
