This was a fun find! I was planning a roller skating party for my girls big double digit birthday…read more All the reviews on Amazon for roller skating balloons were horrible so I happened to do a local search and found this party store not too far. They had the balloon I was looking for (twice the price) but. Was able to get it blown up in store and picked up shortly after opening on Saturday morning. They had tons of party supplies, costumes, Halloween decor, party signs, gift wrapping, balloons you name it! It was very much like the old party city. I'm so glad I found this place! Stop in if you need a costume or are planning a party!

What's more fun than attending a party? Throwing a party, of course! Zurcher's has everything, and…read moreI mean EVERYTHING, you could possibly want for a themed party. I always forget how vast the inventory is until I stop by looking for a particular item and I become mesmerized by the aisles and aisles of celebratory goodness. It puts me in an automatic happy mood. On this particular visit, I was looking for solid colored latex balloons filled with helium. The nice girl at the counter pointed me to where I could go pick them out then return to have them filled. I was in and out in only a few minutes, minus the time I spent browsing and daydreaming. Until the next time I have an event to decorate for, I'll see you then.

This is a great toy store. Toys of all kinds, not the Walmart or Target chain toys, but great toys…read morethat actually engage children, and I'm not talking about just educational toys, either. So much variety and toys that you wish you had a bottomless wallet to take them all home. Even the "cheapo" niknaks are so cool! And you want games? Tons of such interesting games. Again, would love to buy all of them and then somehow find time to play them all. Figurines, die cast cars, outdoor toys, collectables, of course Lego sets, etc. etc. etc. Such great inventory. Stuff you can't find anywhere else. They have a frequent buyers program, too, to earn points and discounts. They do kid workshops. I recently took my granddaughter to make a Lego race car and she got to keep the car. They do free gift wrapping. If you want even more fancier wrapping paper, there is a nominal charge, but I've always found that their free gift wrap is absolutely fine. Been there several times, but each time I always end up spending a long time looking at stuff and finding things I never saw before. The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable about their inventory and can come up with suggestions if you are looking for something in particular. Great for adults and kids! 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs!

The employee straight‑up lied to an 11‑year‑old, claiming the Dr Pepper one was "super rare." The real company has never even made one.

I usually go for the greeting cards, wrapping paper, balloons, accessories for the event like (birthdays, graduation, party) I urge everybody not to buy anything that isn't pre wrapped. If its out in the open, who knows where it's been or with whom. I have bought from this store: dream catchers, scrubbing brush, dog waste bags, balloons, birthday stuff, basket, wall decor, mirrors, kitchen supplies, etc. If you search around there is stuff you can play with and organize your bedroom or house. They sell lots of different boxes for organization. That's been great for me getting organized. I sometimes get candy but I try to stay away from their food knock offs.

They have cute items. My complaint is with their employees. All the employees are really grouchy…read more Not a single cashier ever says "Hi, how are you today? Did you find everything okay?" Nothing. They don't say a single word to you. The cashiers are unfriendly, and act like they hate being there. They also shove everything you buy into one sack. When I was just there, I was buying breakable items. The male cashier just tossed them into the bag along with everything else. Not caring at all he was going to break what I was buying. Also, when I was just there, there was a man standing by the outside entrance bugging everyone for money. Customers don't want to get harassed by panhandlers. The managers should tell panhandlers to leave, or call the police on them.

This place has every imaginable (and some that I could never have imagined) item you could use to educate your students. There are games, toys, science, art, craft supplies-name it, they've got it. I'm not a teacher, but was here supporting one and I was blissfully rocketed back to my elementary school days as I perused the bulletin board posters and felt story boards, to name a few. The finger paints are sealed, so I couldn't waft the happy scent of kindergarten across my nose...yes, I tried. Even if you're not a teacher, this store has neat things for parents as well. After all, parents are teachers too! And, heck, if you're not a parent or a teacher, I'll bet you a crisp 5 spot that you'll find SOMETHING in here that you'd like to have. Try me.

I've said it before and will say it again that toy stores and collectible shops generally are…read moredependent on selection. In this case, it's a relatively tiny shop, but he has that covered, literally all the way to the ceiling and all of it new. I don't know if he has used toys; I definitely didn't see any on display anywhere, with everything NIB (new in box). The vast amount of stuff he has in a fairly small space can make things a touch cramped if there are a lot of people in at once, but the owner is quite friendly and generally pretty good about handling pricing. Speaking of which, a number of these are definitely on the pricey side, but he does have various sales and so on, if you're not in a hurry, and he's not reticent about passing that along to help meet budgets. This is one of the newer entries into the market and there is a lot of rare finds here, that I've literally not seen elsewhere, and in several cases, was not aware existed at all until I saw him on the shelves here. Definitely a very strong start and a shop that probably needs to go into regular rotation, if you into that kind of thing/market at all.

Jacob and Lee are fun as they run the board game league. They also have casual play night on Tuesdays where people are welcome to come and play games for free. Available games to play are downstairs. They are attached to a Mexican food restaurant so there are sometimes food smells that waft in to the game side, but it is not bad. If you come for game nights you are welcome to bring your own food as long as its not messy. I recommend you bring your own drink as there isn't fountain as part of the store. They have a pretty good selection of games.
