It's always reminded me of the book store in You've Got Mail and just that lovely old school toy store feel. It was the only toy store we had but it was perfect. The marbles were always one of my favorites and the large stuffed animals of lions and tigers and bears, oh my! Worth the trip every single time

Pumpkin Patch is one of my favorite stores in all of Iowa!…read more It's a wonderful local independent Toy store, with fun for the whole family! I always loved walking by the huge stuffed animals in the windows when I lived in Ames! They have classic toys from the 50's, to modern stuff kids today would dig! Great selection of stuffed animals, books, nut crackers, games, toy cars.. you name it they got it! They also do a fantastic job of wrapping those Christmas gifts for the little special ones in your life! The store is a fantasy world of fun, for all ages and I highly recommend stoping in here if you make it to Ames ever! I feel like JOSH from the movie BIG when he walks into FAO Shwarz for the fist time! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Yu62StlsMY

Cute name and cute clothes. I was in Ankeny and wanted to find a gift for a friend. Clothes that…read moreyou can't find at chain stores. Something original and with personality. I found that and more at this store. When I walked in I was immediately in awe and knew this was exactly what I was looking for. I will admit, I was almost certain that prices would be over the top, but that's not the case at all. The prices were more than reasonable for these original pieces and some made right here in Iowa! I believe the clothes size ranged from newborn to at least toddler, maybe a bit bigger, I didn't inquire. Besides clothes they had other fun gifts as well. I encourage you to support small businesses and this one is a definite must if you have a child or any children in your life.

This review is for darling online selection and service…read more I love bamboo Kickee Pants for baby (especially classic or loose fit which is hard to find since they converted to fitted/snug onesies) and Peek-a-Boo had a rare find online. Upon ordering, it arrived very quickly, beautifully wrapped, and with a handwritten note offering to help me with any other kickee pants needs. Since I am not local, I've bookmarked this store on my computer. Wonderful experience and customer service - check them out online as well.

As usual, they had good pricing on a number of items, so I was able to nab a couple of joggers and long sleeve shirts at a great price. Customer service was very good.

This is such a fun store! Tons of unique and interesting toys, books and clothes for kids. It is…read morea bit pricey, but more than likely it is due to the quality of the items and the uniqueness that most items possess. We could have spent hours in there just exploring, but of course, would have spent hundreds if we did! The clothing is incredibly cute and for babies and toddlers, they have items such as muslin blankets and security blankets, bibs, onesie sleep sacks and more. Completely recommend. Made me want to have another baby!

Both great But I like this side better for some reason!

They have a nice mothers section as well that I would check out if you're expecting you can get most things here for a fraction of their online prices. Highly recommend!
