The wagon looked amazing and could not have been more perfect for our display - We received SO many compliments!

Just visit their shop or website.

Holy crap! This place is a beautiful nightmare if I've ever seen one…read more Deep into KCK, this is more than simply a costume shop, and I was thoroughly impressed in my tour. I came in to browse random costumes, but was immediately taken aback by the sheer magnitude and variety of offerings. If this place doesn't have what you want, it doesn't exist. Where to start? True to the name, this place has just a ridiculous selection of prop guns. Some are fake, but many are actually real guns that have been deactivated. With all types of firearms from all eras, I felt like I was in some secret backroom belonging to a separatist movement, and I mean that in the best way possible. Oh, and the same goes for swords, spears and anything else you could use to pretend to kill somebody onstage. The costumes they have are pretty dang legit. Period clothing and uniforms in excellent condition. This isn't a costume shop strictly for Halloween drunkenness, this is a place for when you REALLY need to look the part. I was astounded by the quality of costumes. They also have full mascot costumes! Like you'd see at football games! Man oh man, I would love to just play in that room for a while. And no, I'm not a furry. There's also the typical Halloween stuff, fake blood and crappy wigs and cheap decorations. But on top of that, there are just mountains of awesome props. It all seems incredibly disorganized, but the staff seem to know where everything is. I would LOVE to spend hours just digging through this place, as I think it might just be Kansas City's best treasure hunt. Highly worth checking out.

Like many others, I did not have a good experience on a recent trip to this Party City location. I…read morewanted to go get a balloon for a birthday, and there were a couple of folks in front of me in line. There was one cashier, there was one person filling balloons, and a manager of some kind who didn't seem to be much help to either one of them. This person was clearly overwhelmed by the fact that several folks wanted balloons filled at 4p on a Friday night. The cashier was having some issue with the first person's transaction, but the manager was no help. I waited in line almost 20 minutes before someone behind me in line asked the manager "How long would it take to get my balloons filled once I pay?" The manager's reaction was super rude and she said to no one in particular "We aren't filling more balloons tonight." The person asked if they could buy them and pick them up in the morning and the manager just walked away. I was next in line by this point, so I waited. When it was my turn, I asked the cashier if I could pick up my balloons in the morning, and he said he didn't know. So I left my items with him, and left. I went just down the road to Hy-Vee where the selection wasn't as good, but the service was way better. I would recommend going elsewhere.

This is a full blown costume shop, full of wigs, masks, fabrics, props, and even rental costumes. It's become the first place I think of for any type of costume, and you can usually find something solid here. Props to the staff who, on a Saturday before Halloween, handled a jam-packed shop with aplomb. I was impressed with how friendly and helpful everyone here was. Most of the costumes and props here are priced in the expected range, with a couple things jacked up a notch. I grew up having my seamstress mom making everything for me each year, so it's a bit of an adjustment to see everything store bought. It doesn't mean it's not as good, but it would be cool to feature some local crafters or costume maestros here to give it a personalized feel.

This is a place where you can buy beads, brightly colored plastic forks and knives and blow-up gorillas. This is a great store to buy things for specialized items for parties. They have a wide selection of themes and colors to choose from, too. They have almost everything you would need for a party. Recently I needed a few things for a quick throw-together party and they had everything I needed at a decent price. Parking is plentiful and you never have to circle the block to find a space. The sales associates always seem to be helpful and in a good mood. I have never had an issues with customer service at Party America. The store seems a little old but that does not seem to be a factor. I do think their prices are high on some things. Often it is difficult to judge because the bigger WhateverMart stores can do volume pricing. Perhaps just the products that I buy at Party America are more expensive. I have been able to get some great deals, though. There are no coupons of which I am aware but that would be a huge help. Good selection, friendly customer service, easy access. Yeah, not a bad store for niche needs.

Not horrible since I had to run other errands and you can come back for your order. The downfall was a few employees were loudly complaining about another customer who wasn't expecting to wait for the balloons to be filled with helium. 5 standard balloons with polka dots was $7.06. Not cheap but not horribly expensive either. They were out of stock on half the basic colors for plastic plates. Not ideal but can't really complain for not being prepared the day of a party.

I have had balloons float for WEEKS and they say 6 hours is pushin it? When you are paying top dollar for a premium service- I think it's normal to EXPECT the best, but instead you tell THEM what you want blown up and they will make it happen, but for 6 hours. I was told they can "try" the gel, it "might" work...Boy. You can't just walk up and be like "yo, my kid is having a bris, I need some blue colored balloons and maybe somethin like a hot dog or eggplant shape" and expect them to be right on it, nah. You'd have better service at the dollar tree down the street, and probably 1/4 the price too! smh
