I am a recurring customer at this Lakeshore location and was disappointed during my visit today. The sales associate was standing at the front of the store and did not greet me. Shortly after, I clearly heard her loudly welcome a white family with "hello, welcome in." All customers deserve to be treated equally and with respect. A simple greeting makes a big difference, and I hope management addresses this moving forward. read more

AMAZING SERVICE! The girl who helped me, Bree, was SO helpful! she helped me with all of my laminating and cutting! Super friendly too! I will be back! read more

Ahh I wish I found this store sooner! This store is amazing for kids and teachers too! Basically everything a teacher needs for a classroom can be found in here. We loved the learning materials and games -- everything I have purchased here has been educational and engaging for my daughter! They also have toys here out on display for your kiddos to try out -- we discovered we needed to purchase the screwdriver set as a result! I'm super excited about this store and can't wait to go back. The employees are all so kind and helpful. The prices were not as shocking as I was expecting too. read more

I went in to buy books for my son. They were very limited on their selection of Spanish books, however, the lady that assisted me was extremely helpful in searching for more books in the clearance section. Besides that I would say it offers a lot for children to grow away from that tablet and be kids. Parents if you're looking for workbooks for spring, summer and winter break; they have those too. The price was reasonable but I'm more than satisfied with my purchase and I'm looking forward to reading to my son tonight. read more

Lakeshore Learning Store - Toy Stores Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

As an autism mama, this place is like Narnia! Miss Jennifer was super amazing and super helpful! There was also another super kind soul whose name I didn't catch. She had a super short pixie cut though! Looked amazing! Anyways, ANYTHING you need is here or can be shipped here. One stop shop for everything educational. read more

I always come here for birthday gifts. They have such a different selection in toys for kids that are actually learning. Everyone there is always very nice and helpful as well. The prices aren't any higher than toys at Walmart or anywhere else either. Highly recommend this place. read more

My son and I always have a total blast when visiting Lakeshore Learning Store. They have the best educational toys and materials! They also always have a monthly free kids event on Saturdays from 11-3PM. This month Feb, kids had the opportunity to make a car, plane, or a ship. Then they can put the creation into motion! Last month Jan, kids had the opportunity to excavate a dinosaur out of an egg and the chance to make homemade slime! In addition, there are over 30 different toys and games on display so that you can try it out and play! The staff are always so amazing, kind, and helpful! read more

This store is such a great find for quality children's toys/learning kits. My grandkids love the store and it's impossible to leave without purchasing something! They have a unique assortment of educational and recreational toys. This is my spot for birthday shopping! read more

today I was helped by Carlos. I feel that he has the perfect personality for this store; fun, joyful, and helpful. My daughter and I come here often and try out new toys and buy new toys often. Everyone has always been very helpful and we always leave with at least one new fun item. read more

I was surprised at how much my kiddo and I enjoyed the Lakeshore Learning Store. I came in since I had a coupon from purchasing a multiplication machine through their website. We walked in and an employee greeted us right away and asked if it was our first time. We said yes and they went over the various sections of the store, the little stations kids can try out and the reading corner that happens by the hour on Saturday. We walked around the entire store then my daughter played at several of the stations before deciding her favorite which we ended up buying. There's a small clearance section in the back right, which I ended up buying a marble toy for my oldest at a discount just cuz of damaged packaging, why not! We tagged onto the last few mins of the reading corner and participated in their in store scavenger hunt. My daughter really enjoyed the experience and asked to return next weekend. The store had tons of learning toys and tools. Lots of supplies and resources for teachers and at home learning. I will definitely be stopping by again! read more

My go to store for kids. They have the best selection of learning toys, games, and workbooks.

This store customer service is awesome!! I am no longer a teacher but I do allot of laminating. I also buy things for our granddaughter(7 yrs). They have a great selection of educational toys that are really fun. read more

As a teacher I am always at this store. The staff is friendly and always willing to help you. At the beginning of the school year they are so busy. They set up extra checkout stations which is great customer service. You can laminate your items for a lot cheaper then office max or staples. Large variety of teaching items. read more

A teacher's Paradise and a place parents should love too. This is a very neat and well organized store with school supplies. Lots and lost of school supplies. From very early development through at least middles school. I don't understand the method behind the way that it is organized. But I know that the staff was able to help me find things I was looking for and I had no idea of the name of some of the items. "Uhm, I'm looking for this card that teachers put stickers on for little kids. They collect stickers on them as rewards..." That my dear Yelper is called, "an Incentive Card". But my point is that I was looking for several things to donate to a school, but not being a teacher, I had no idea what those items were called. The staff in that store was amazing. They have a rewards buying program, so be sure to ask for the card. I'll bet anything the sales person won't forget to suggest it. I have heard some people complain that hte prices are too high. I comparison shop just about everything on Amazon.com and I found the prices for the items I went in there to buy were comparable. (If someone knows of an online site that offers cheaper than here, PM me.) read more

What a lovely place to spend shopping and browsing. Great layout and helpful staff. Their selections are unique and well made. As a teacher, I am always looking for something to make my life easier and for attention holding products for my classroom. It is the must visit teacher supply stop. My children even love going there because they have games and activities on display for little hands and expanding minds. Be sure to check out the coupons because there are some great deals! read more

First time shopping here for my son who is blind. I wanted to buy some sensory and musical toys and books. The staff was very helpful and answered all my questions. I found a few toys and 2 balls. My son loved his toys. Plus I did get a coupon for a free tote bag. Cant wait to go shopping there again. read more

You can get all the things here cheaper on the internet. However, sometimes you don't have anytime to waste waiting for things to arrive in the mail. Lakeshore has great learning material and helpful aids to teach children of all ages. They staff is friendly and helpful and they do have good sales occasionally. read more

Being someone that's needing more toys for nieces and the profession I'm in, I love the store. They have toys that allow for creativity, unlike Toys R Us which seems to have every toy in the world meant for every purpose. I hate specific toys for specific types of play, I feel it stifles creativity, which is why I love what Lakeshore has. If it's too far away, they do have a website with more than what they have in store. PLUS, I love that they have baby and family dolls in all different races, much more realistic than what you normally see with the blond, blue eyed babies that are everywhere. My biggest minus is the exorbitant price of everything. But you can get on a text discount thing where they send you discounts over the phone, and if you sign up for the mailing list they get you coupons to your door. I did do the check-in deal through yelp last time I was there and they hassled me about it saying that it was't from their store. Yes it is. Your corporate advertising person put it there, please learn before you speak. Luckily they took it after I explained to them that it was a product of their company and not of my imagination. Otherwise, the store is great, but I will be waiting for paper coupons from now on. read more

It's like going to Costco... you always come away with more than what you came for! Love this place!

Cute place, lots of variety, prices are very high compared to online. The weekend "Science Fair" is very small, not really what I'd call it. More like 2 or 3 crafts/learning centers... but still nice. read more

This place was awesome. My kids love everything about it. They have different stations for kids to play in and also on saturdays they have an art activity that kids can do and take home. They always have sales as well. Great place to find different educational materials. read more

You don't even have to be a teacher to take advantage of the value this store provides. They have tons of toys, games and learning tools that you wish you had as a child and a lot of fun genuinely valuable scheduled events to entertain your children. Awesome Store. read more

This store can make you go bankrupt because they have almost everything you would need to set up a classroom and not at cheap prices! They do have a members card, but I believe you get the same deals that are going on in store. I went crazy at their boarder selection! It's nuts and fairly priced. The store is small, but packed. If you're looking for pocket charts, boarders or politically correct skin colored markers,this is the place for you. read more

Very nice ladies that work here. Go above and beyond to help you out. Lots of cool learning aids. I could spend all day in here.

What a wonderful store!!!! This is beyond a teachers paradise it's everything a kids could ever want. They have 20 plus tables set up with merchandise set up for kids to explore, hints why my kids want to stay there all day Staff was super friendly and helpful and even informed me about their free craft for kids on Saturday's.!!! read more

Lots of cool, cute and educational things here for my two kiddies. I stop in here for each birthday/Christmas to balance out the "junk" toys. I love the art project portfolio that is divided by school year and the school memory books. :) read more
