The Quacker Gift Shop

Reviewed By csu70 - Aurora, United States

This is such a fun shop to stop into when you are on Main Street in Grand Lake! Hundreds of Rubber Ducks of every size and persuasion and delicious Home Made Fudge for sale, as an added bonus! Even though the shop had already closed, the owner saw our granddaughters peering through the front window and reopened just for us! After our big purchase of one Unicorn rubber ducky and one Dalmatian rubber ducky we will be dropping by every time we are in Grand Lake to add to the collections.

What a delight to discover this wonderful gallery in the heart of Grand Lake! Studio 8369 offers stunning paintings, pottery and photography, featuring local artists. We could not resist doing our souvenir shopping here and will be back the next time we visit Grand Lake. We also enjoyed chatting with the friendly owner, Keith. A must-stop when you’re in town.
