I had a great experience at Five Below! I stopped in with a few girls I was babysitting, and they…read morehad their hearts set on getting some dumplings from the fidget section. We were told they were out of stock, and the girls were pretty disappointed. But as we were checking out, one of the associates went above and beyond and found a package for each of them. The girls were so excited, and their kindness really made our day. It's rare to see that level of customer service, especially for something so small. The staff was friendly, helpful, and made our visit memorable. We'll definitely be back!

This Five Below has its moments. Store can be a bit messy and disorganized at times but you can…read moregenerally browse and find random stuff. They have a lot of Sanrio (which I love, especially anything Kuromi), anime, HP, gaming (like Pac-Man, Mario, Minecraft, etc.) and trendy items. I sometimes really good quality art supplies like alcohol markers cute stationery. I also love blind boxes and find them a few dollars cheaper here vs. other retailers. I love graphic tees & love that they have a lot of them, however the displays on the wall don't match the cubes under. This area can also be ever disorganized. The checkout is setup like self checkout terminals but sometimes the staff stand at them and scan your items.

The kids love browsing around here. They have a lot in different price ranges so you could leave…read morewith something even if you only have a dollar. Prices aren't too bad here. Good location inside the mall so it's easy to get to. Usually only one person working there that just leaves you alone. They usually aren't that friendly to the kids either. It's not the best toy store selection but it's enough for a kid to find something they like there.

A nice toy store! They have a good variety of products, something for everyone…read more They have funko pops, puzzles, blind boxes, games, stuffed animals and so much more. Prices weren't too bad. Staff were kind of carrying on their personal convo even after i approached the counter to pay otherwise no other interactions. Store was clean and organized.

Every time I go to the Mall of America I have to stop here…read more It feels more than a toy store. There's many different stations/sections of the store that you'll find unique products for adults and kids. Staff are always ready to help. Demos will keep you in the store for awhile.

Toys AND outdoorsy gear?! Talk about an awesome combo! Just looking at the storefront says "Fun!"…read moreInside you'll find camping gear, warm clothing, silly animal slippers for all sizes, survival guides (like rope tying and more), many fun plush critters, toys/gifts/games that encourage outdoor play, etc. Definitely cool to look around and browse; I didn't have much room left in my luggage to buy much more stuff, but I'm super glad a place like this exists. Kind of gave off the vibe of an REI for kiddos, haha. Way better to get kids into going outside to play than always staring at a screen. =)

Super fun, all kinds of different stuff for a variety of ages and interests…read more Staff is very nice, knowledgeable, and helpful

Absolute best toy shop!! Best selection and staff knows about every item in the store. They have…read morethe best recommendations. This is our go to spot for birthday gifts. They wrap gifts too. They also offer a "registry" where kids/parents can make a custom list for friends and family to shop from. We've done it for out of town family for Christmas! We are in the thick of the birthday party circuit and are at the store weekly

Red Balloon is a kids bookshop, but with plenty of cool stuff for adults too!…read more I've been coming here for 20+ years for story times and book clubs and gift buying and all the good vibes. It's a true gem of a store. And of course the people who work here and who visit here are the absolute best too! There's even a nice bathroom and a great community bulletin board! My family still loves the summer reading challenges. I personally love human rights. If you're not into basic human rights, you might not love this place, but then again in you're not into basic human rights you probably don't love that much of anything.

Super cute book store in grand avenue and I would definitely recommend. This is a book store that…read morespecializes in children's books with a small section of young adult. Prices are good and staff are very nice. Definitely a fun place to go with a lot of events and activities .

He Said: For anyone who has ever watched the movie "You've…read moreGot Mail", you will know what I mean when I say this book store reminds me of that movie. I am very happy this Linden Hills store has been handed down to the next generation. Very few book stores have the intimacy and charm of Wild Rumpus. Have a young child or relatives? Check this place out! Make sure to say hi to the book store animals! Pros: - Neighborhood feel - Animals - Wide selection of kid books

One of my favorite spots!! I love taking anyone who is visiting here, especially kiddos. This…read morebookstore is pure magic, for kids - and adults too. Most known for their animals in-store, this is a visit to a bookstore that includes meeting the cat, birds, chinchillas, and other animals that call Wild Rumpus home. It's so much fun to see and read about them. There's even fish in the mirror of the bathroom! If that didn't sell you, the ambiance beyond animals here is amazing. There's murals all over - including on the ceiling. There's a house-type structure in the back. There's chairs to cozy up and read in. It's like walking into a children's book. And what about the books?! So many books! Mostly children and YA books, but they have a substantial wall section for adults too. Everything from manga to local authors here. Prices are reasonable and service is always so welcoming and friendly. Can't recommend this place enough - whether you're shopping for a kid, bringing one along, or want to feel like a kid again yourself.

When I think of used book shops, Dustjacket Books is exactly the kind of shop that comes to mind…read more It's small, and wooden shelves support thousands and thousands of books, floor-to-ceiling. A friendly grey tabby (Simon) welcomed us at the door, followed shortly by the shop's owner. I love little shops like this where you have to dig a little to find treasures -- but I walked out with four books for $12, which was very reasonable. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and I will definitely stop there again when I'm in Hastings.

What a great bookstore!! There are literally thousands and thousands of all types of books:…read morefiction, nonfiction, kids, rare and collectible, homeschooling, etc. The owner, Rick, is a genuinely nice guy. He is knowledgeable and very helpful. If he doesn't have the book you are looking for, he will order it for you. Another great thing about this bookstore is that you can trade your books for store credit. Just a warning--the store could use a little more organization. You might need to do a little digging, but then isn't that part of the charm of a used book store?
