Everytime our family visits the strand, a visit to Play on The Strand is always a required stop…read more My youngest daughter and I get bored with the whole bougie shopping scene on the strand, so my wife turns us loose while she shops. My daughter and I always head over to Play on The Strand with our pockets full of quarters. We head straight to the back and hit up the arcade. They've got some pinball machines back there along with a couple of arcade games. We fill their machines up with quarters then check out all the cool toys they have. They have a lot of cool toys in there and my daughter seems to always sucker me into buying her something when we leave. I always enjoy supporting small businesses here in Galveston, and their toys are of good quality. I highly recommend a visit to anyone who visits The Strand. Grab you a pocket full of quarters and stop by. Enjoy.

If I could give this place zero stars, I would. This gift shop knowingly sold a fake toy that was…read moreclearly not as advertised. When I brought it to their attention and asked them to correct the situation, they didn't just refuse--they were unbelievably rude about it. There was no attempt to fix the issue, no apology, no basic customer service. Just dismissive attitudes and outright hostility, as if I was the problem for expecting to receive what I paid for. It's one thing to make a mistake, but it's another to double down and treat customers poorly when it's pointed out. Avoid this place at all costs unless you enjoy being ripped off and disrespected.

Yes, this is just another one of those fancy gift shops located along the strand in Galveston…read more However, it does have some interesting things going for it, such as the antique ceiling, which looks totally unfinished from 100 years ago. Inside, you will find lots of candles, toys, kids clothing, puzzles, gift cards, jewelry, books, and some ladies fashion wear. Everything is very well laid out and well merchandised. However, nothing in this place is cheap, you can expect to pay top dollar. Nonetheless, I have to give them credit for such a well thought out boutique shop,.....***1/2 stars.

This was probably my favorite stop on my trip in Galveston!…read moreI've been to manyyy antique shops and this one was so well curated. You will seriously not be able to go in here and leave empty handed! Lots of beautiful jewelry at the front. I was able to buy my grandmother stunning earrings and a brooch for Christmas! She loved them!! I wish I had spent more time in here as I'm sure I missed a lot. Lucky Charms Antique Mall will be a new regular stop when I visit Galveston. *check the photos for a feature from their sweeeet shop cat*

Target just isn't the same. It reminds me of an over-priced bargain store. At least this one does…read more It's very disorganized. The shelves are sloppy. Why would I buy a pair of pants at Target for $40? I'm having a hard time making that one make sense for me. The service is good, but you could hardly find an attendant to assist you. I went in looking for some warm and cozy winter socks for my husband and sons, and I found some, but that was about it. One of the pluses is that I discovered the Tesla charging station is now open. Galveston has its own Tesla charging station and it's at the Target. Now that's exciting!

It's our first one and we learned we needed small bills. We tried Walmart money center and was told they don't exchange larger bills for smaller ones and a few banks and got shot down due to not having accounts with them. Our last hope was Target before having to embark. The sweet woman who helped us was named Jaleesa. I think she could see the exhaustion on our faces and was eager to assist. I know a lot of people like us (who leave on cruise ships) come in often with the same requests and it can be overwhelming but she was so patient and understanding. Thank you so much, Jaleesa for making our first trip to this target location one to remember.

I haven't shopped at a walmart in years so these methods afford me the opportunity to shop with them without the hassle of going inside the store. On my last pickup order they handed us a gift, a cute little goodie bag filled with samples and coupons. I was totally appreciative. Pickup service is easy to use. Just pick a spot and check in on the app when you arrive. They'll come out to your car and will pack the groceries for you. It saves me so much time and energy especially when I'd rather not wander through busy, overcrowded isles.

So I put back the spoons and went out to my car. I was inside my car and about to leave when a different Spanish woman who was also working in the store walks up to my window - I rolled it down and she tells me the woman (from behind the counter) wanted her to check my purse - WHAT THE HELL? First since I have worked retail I could understand that if I was inside but not in my car, two you don't send employees to strangers cars to do that - it is dangerous. I showed her I had nothing in my purse and then told her exactly how I felt about her management. Needless to say I will never go to another Dolphin World store - they need to train their employees and take customer service classes.
