There are plenty of facilities and shops to visit, unlock, and upgrade in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. This page covers how to unlock every facility, how to expand them, and what they all do. Click on their individual pages to learn even more! Make sure to see How to Unlock Everything in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, too.

Resident Services

Resident Services is at first a solitary green tent inhabited by Tom Nook. Inside, you'll be able to accept and complete tasks from Nook and access the Nook Stop terminal where you can turn in Nook Miles for items. This is also where you can buy things from Timmy and Tommy when you first arrive.

Tom Nook will upgrade Resident Services into a full-fledged office building after attracting three more villagers to your island, which will enable you to change your town tune, add bridges and ramps, and move existing buildings. See Resident Services for more information.

Blather's Museum

Blathers the owl will come to your island in a small tent at first after you give Tom Nook five differentCritters.

After that, once you donate 15 Critters and/or Fossils to Blathers, the full Museum will be built. The Museum will host and display any Bug, Fish, or Fossil you find and donate to Blathers.

See Museum for more information!

Nook's Cranny

Once you upgrade your Tent to a House, speak to Timmy inside Resident Services. Hand in the materials he asks for and they'll build Nook's Cranny, a shop with more inventory. See Nook's Cranny for more details.

Able Sisters Shop

After building Nook's Cranny, you'll run into Mable there. She'll start appearing nearby Resident Services on a random weekday and weekends to sell clothing and accessories.

To unlock the permanent Able Sisters Shop, purchase at least $5,000 worth of merchandise from her, and Mabel will set up Able Sisters Shop permanently in town the next day. See How to Unlock Able Sisters Shop for more information.

Sahara

Sahara is a camel that that wanders on a random day of the week. She'll sell you rugs, Mysterious Wallpaper, and Mysterious flooring. Buying rugs from her earns you tickets which can be redeemed for either her Mysterious Wallpaper or Mysterious Flooring. These items are interesting - you may get wallpaper that looks like a stormy sky, or flooring that looks like a stream! Read more about Sahara - Rugs, Mysterious Flooring, Mysterious Wallpaper.

Label

Label is an independent designer of label "Labelle" who won't show up in the town square until after the Able Sisters Shop is built. She'll give you party top first, and a cap to go with it once you model it for her. (This section is under construction)

Kicks (Shoe Shop)

Kicks is a skunk that will set up in the town square occasionally after Able Sisters Shop is built. As his name implies, he sells shoes, socks, and types of footwear. (This section is under construction)

Campsite

Much later in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, after you upgrade Resident Services, Nook will have an idea to attract more visitors to the island. You can then craft a Campsite Construction Kit and place it somewhere. Once built, visitors will stay here. You can meet them and occasionally convince them to stay!

There's a lot more to see, so make sure to read How to Unlock Everything in Animal Crossing: New Horizons as well!
