Here's a short video about why we love Seaport Village. We actually entered it into a Seaport Village contest and won a free night stay at the Manchester Hyatt. Thank you to Seaport Village's blog!
Shops
One of our favorite shops is the Apple Box toy store which specializes in personalized wooden toys. If you’re interested in having something made with your child’s name on it, there’s plenty to choose from. To give you an example of price, a wooden train is $20 plus $5 to personalize it with your child’s name. A few Christmases ago, we received a wooden puzzle with my son’s name on it. He still loves to play with it and it helped him learn to spell his name.
Pictured below on display is a cat for Jordynn.
Another neat store is the Carousel Music Box Company. As you can imagine, this is a “look, but please don’t touch” kind of store. It’s fun for kids of all ages to see these magical scenes brought to life in miniature.

EntertainmentNot only is there shopping, there’s free entertainment on many days in the afternoons between 1-4 pm. As you stroll around, you might hear a jazz band, steel drums or see Polynesian dancers. Caricaturists, face painters, balloon sculptors, and oriental brush artists are often working at Seaport Village as well.Click here for an entertainment schedule. 
And don’t forget to take your kids on the Looff Carousel. This carousel may be old (it was originally placed in Texas in 1895), but it’s fast! It starts off slowly and ends slowly too, but in the middle, you’ll get some speed! The carousel is beautifully carved, with horses, elephants, giraffes and other animals to delight your kids. But stick to the horses if you want to move; just the white horses go up and down in this carousel. The $2 fee per ride is well worth it.
