A+ 100 for this unassuming from the outside and ALTOGETHER EXCELLENT from the inside spot just as you get off the elevated I-55 onto US 51 just before Pontchatoula. Lionel trains, Lionel trains and Lionel trains along with friendly folks to ask about and discuss them. Great to see youngsters wandering and wondering the place. Great also to NOT SEE anyone staring endlessly into their pocket hand held devices. read more

This is the kind of store that embodies all the reason you should shop locally, and my story really proves that point. With a young son, I wanted to get a train set for under the Christmas Tree last year. I was hoping to get a decent set - one that he could use with his own family someday. Against my better judgement, I opted for a great looking set at a great price on eBay, instead of just buying one here. The set arrived - and it did look great on the outside. The inside was another matter. All of the copper was corroded to the point that it powdered off the circuit boards. This is where my story with the Electric Train Depot begins... I stopped by there in early December, just to see what was wrong and what could be done to (hopefully) fix the train. Jeff (the owner) looked at it, and tried to run it to no avail. It was pretty much a paper weight, and my controller was toast as well. Next thing I knew, Jeff let me borrow a loaner locomotive because he said we needed to have a train under the tree while he sent mine out for evaluation and maybe repair. He also explained the controller I needed, as well as a bunch of other pointers for a newbie. This didn't necessary save Christmas, but it helped make it really, really awesome. My son's engine was eventually repaired, and is now in service. What was maybe going to be a Christmas Tradition has become a year-round hobby with a small folding table. For that, I must thank Jeff, Pam, and Jessica for all their help! Definitely a FIVE STAR out of five star experience. That and who doesn't love toy trains? read more

I try to shop here each time I visit the area from Texas. Good selection and great service with very reasonable pricing. Much more selection than even the best hobby stores in the Austin area. read more

Be sure to take your kid here to do a "birthday box". Your child will pick out all the toys etc that they'd like for their party and then they will be placed in a huge Rubbermaid container. You can tell your friends and family to go there to pick something and they'll receive 10% off anything in the box. Not to mention that when your child's birthday has passed, they'll give your child a $20 gift card just for doing a birthday box. Be sure to go support this awesome local business. Oh, they do complimentary gift wrap too.

I have found the most unique gifts for my niece and nephew here, and they gift wrap, too! Displays are grouped by theme, so it's easy to find what you're looking for- or get lost in all the fun stuff there is to look at, like I did. I even found a stocking stuffer for my husband, a win! There is also an impressive book selection. And right now, there's a red mailbox outside, where kids can mail letters to Santa. This place is an absolute treasure, DO NOT miss it when you're strolling on Magazine! There's something for everyone! #ThankYouThursday

It definitely has a lot of unique toys and games for your kiddos or even those kids at heart. My daughter came here and was in love with the little Japanese erasers shaped like food. They even have candy and party supplies. The sales associate was very helpful and was there to assist with anything we needed. From time to time they will have locally-themed toys available for sale, but you'll most likely need to pre-order it. Earlier this year, they had a crawfish boil set that was so adorable and regret not putting an order for it. It was definitely a local favorite - pot, crawfish, corn & potatoes; super cute! There are not a bunch of toy stores anymore, where kids can actually come look at toys, especially unique ones, so I am so glad they have this here.

If you're out of town absolutely stop here! Husband spent $50 & got 7 amazing vinyls (including an unopened one & a promotional funk music album).

Would've been way overpriced at the faire), & a nutcracker mug. I also spent $50; even after splurging at faire for our honeymoon, we loved every treasure we got here!
