The painters can personalize your ornaments for you and it's completely free! It does take some time for personalization, about 1-2 hours. Personalized gifts are one of my favorite things to give during the holidays.

    when to visit

    Bronner's is open 361 days a year. Over 2 million guests visit Bronner's annually. It isn't much of a surprise but Thanksgiving weekend is the busiest weekend of the year. 50,000 guests can be expected to visit Thanksgiving weekend.

      This looks like so much fun!! I am a huge lover of Christmas, and so I would be all over this. I think it would be especially fun to visit in the middle of summer. I'd be interested to know when the fewest people visit. I bet in January & February people are less inclined to stock up. But who knows?
