Let your instincts lead you through the many treasures found in the area’s antique shops. The Jackson area is known for its great “antiquing”. Valuables can be found in the many shops dotted all around Jackson County.

Downtown Jackson is dotted with unique shopping opportunities from boutiques to specialty stores. One of Jackson’s premier shopping destinations downtown is Toy House and Baby Too. They have the largest selection of toys in America and are Michigan’s only full-line dealer of Little Tikes and Step 2 products along with other quality toys and baby products.

Interspersed among the stores are restaurants ranging from soup and sandwich shops and delis to tiny full-service specialty cafes and larger restaurants. The central core of downtown Jackson caters to pedestrians, many of who work in the central city.
