I was given a warm welcome and greeting when I walked in! "Let me know if I can help you find anything!" In the front of the store there was a display of Covid prevention products for sale. I picked up some hand sanitizer and a few other things there! Did I mention the gift shop? A whole corner is dedicated to Yankee Candles... I bought two jars and a car freshener too! They have some different fragrances, lots of summer scents! Other sections of the store have shelves of sports and team gear, garden, flags and housewares, jewelry, seasonal items as well as candy and toys. A great spot for unique gifts. The pharmacist came and helped me find a few other things I was looking for and was so cordial. No, there's not as much variety as those chain pharmacies, but the customer service and Mayberry feel is worth the experience!

Absolutely wonderful store for kids! They have clothing (definitely high-end quality and price),…read morebut the huge draw for me is that they have such thoughtfully selected books that promote diversity and environmental stewardship. The books that you find there are so full of quality content, the type of books that help parents raise children with intentionality and teach kindness, empathy, and open-mindedness. The organization of the store is fun. When I went, there was a section for summer themed items and travel toys, STEM, dino toys and clothes, and more. I was truly wowed by the quality brands. You find brands like Haba and Usborne. I was particularly taken aback by all of the great Usborne stuff! I'm a major fan, and it's expensive to get that stuff shipped. The books end up being like $20, so it was nice to see them priced so reasonably here. I saw some great write and wipe books on letters, numbers, and math. There were some great sticker books (the type that teach), and I was able to snag a seek-and-find bug sticker book that teaches counting for like $8. It is incredibly engaging and effectively reinforces counting skills in a very fun way. Plus, it gives kids something to do with stickers that's fun and doesn't involve finding them all over your house. They also had some great quality Canadian brand of kids toys that I cannot remember, but good craft kits from them. Aside from the clothing, prices were quite reasonable, and the clothes, admittedly, were better quality than you see at typical kids stores. They were made like stuff used to be made. You know, like actually quality enough to pass down. I definitely plan to make this a regular stop for my birthday and Christmas shopping list. There are no yap yap toys, but pretty much kid-powered stuff that requires a brain to be actively engaged in creative thinking. My kind of stuff! Honestly, this store literally looks like what I would put in a kids store, if I created one myself, so I'm so happy to find that it exists. It is truly a magical place, as my fellow Yelper said. It really can't get much better. Please support this wonderful business. It is SO worth the drive, if you're out-of-town. If you have any doubts, just plan add a stop to the Discovery Museum for some great play and La Flor Michoacana for delicious ice cream, but you'll see that Whimsies alone is worth it.

Never heard of this ever. So they are concerned we are going to spill all over their products? My wife and I, confused at what to do, just decide to walk out and leave. It was ten minutes until closing time on New Years Day. My wife previously heard another attendant audibly taking about wanting to close early. Okay we get it, you just want to be done. Next time, instead of being rude and enforcing inane policies that discourage people from parusing your wears; just lock up and don't let us in in the first place.
