Additional Buildings

Garden Center

• Unlock Requirements:

The Garden Center is run by Leif and sells seeds and tools to make your village look nicer. You can get different flower seeds and sprouts each day, and it is the only place to get a Watering Can or an Axe. Once the Nooklings Store is upgraded to T.I.Y, the Garden Center will merge with the Nooklings Store into one large building.

Museum Gift Shop and Exhibition Rooms

• Unlock Requirements: Public Works Projects

The second floor of the museum is managed by Celeste, Blather's sister. There, you can purchase items exclusive to the gift shop, including improved, silver versions of tools like the Silver Fishing Rod once you have donated enough of a certain category to the museum. You can also rent out an exhibition room for 10,000 Bells, which is an 8x8 room that you can place items in much like a room in your house. The 2nd floor lobby also contains lockers to let you access your stored items, making it easier to get items needed for exhibits.

Fortune Teller's

• Unlock Requirements: Public Works Projects

On random days, a fortune teller named Katrina may arrive in your town, giving out readings for 500 Bells, telling you your luck for that day and recommending an article of clothing to increase your luck. After enough consultations she will decide to move in to your town and give out readings every day, and the shop will be added to the list of Public Works Projects. Once built, Katrina still does the same routine when consulted, but staying there permanently means that players can get readings every day. Katrina will also occasionally offer to sell a rare item for 10,000 Bells.

Dream Suite

• Unlock Requirements: Public Works Projects

The Dream Suite is where players can access the Dream Town feature. The suite is run by Luna, who will instruct about the process of uploading and visiting Dream Towns. Dream Towns are the towns of other players that you can visit. As these towns are just a dream, players can do anything they want, like chopping down trees, without affecting the real town. However, visitors cannot access the town's Main Street or enter the Town Hall or Re-Tail. Players can also get custom designs from the town's residents if the player who uploaded the town agreed to share them.

In the suite there are two different furniture that you can lie on. The couch at the back lets you submit your Dream Town to Nintendo's database, as well as update the town each day. Frequent updates are recommended as the Dream Town will be removed from the database if it had not been updated for a long period of time. Updating daily also lets you get an effortless 5,000 Bells from Luna. As for visiting Dream Towns of other players, you'll have to lie on the bed. You can choose to go to a Dream Town by entering a specific Dream Address, searching a particular region or just find one at random.
