I can count on one hand the businesses I've been to in the last few years where you can tell employees genuinely enjoy their place of work! We visited Learning Express today for their Pokemon trading event advertised on Facebook. Imagine two seven-year old faces lighting up because toy stores with shelves and shelves of toys are few and far between. With their binders in tow, they explored the shop like it was a candy store while the smiling employees set up for the event. Did you know they do game demos in store!? Who needs a big box store!? Thank you for bringing my son and his friend joy one more time in 2024! Bring on 2025! read more

My husband and I decided to stop in just to peruse and ended up purchasing a couple stocking stuffers for our 6 year old! She loves stickers and coloring books and we found a 2-in-1, Pipsticks Color Your Own Stickers Book! And had to get the hilarious word game I loved since I was child, Mad Libs! As a family we pencil them in almost daily! Not to mention they're educational, they have helped both our 6 year old and the twins I nanny better understand their nouns, adverbs, adjectives and verbs! I picked out Dance Mania Mad Libs, since she loves to dance! I would HIGHLY recommend stopping into America's biggest toy store franchise! They have it all from our daughter's current obsession "aka" Squishmallows, fun tabletop games, cool coloring books, kids jewelry, puzzles, baby toys, crafts and even free gift wrapping just in time for the holiday season! I also couldn't help but notice that they had a birthday box registry, what a creative idea for those who are unsure of what to get the birthday boy or girl! If you're looking for the hottest toys with great prices and the sweetest staff, check out this amazing local toy store! We're looking forward to returning! SYOY! :D *Song Credit: Upbeat Fun Ukulele by REDproductions Website: https://pixabay.com/music/-positive-hopeful-upbeat-fun-ukulele-hope-pleasure-music-16525/ read more

Fidgets, books, kid toys, Squishmallows, Learning Express has them all! My daughter and niece discovered this store from the notorious Tiktok where all trends emerge from. Roseville isn't too close from where we live but it's always a treat for these girls when we visit. This is a fairly large store with all sorts of fun stuff for the kiddos and I over heard an employee saying they have actually been around for over 15 years. Wow! All the employees are very friendly and attentive. I love how they are also active on their social media pages to always keep their customers in the know of what's just arrived! However, this acts as a double edge sword for me because my girls will see their new post(s) and suffer from extreme FOMO, lol. LE will ask if you'd like to sign up for their emails. Do it because they send coupons! They definitely don't spam and majority of the time it's useful info if you have kids obsessed with their items. read more

I will start with the bad and then with the good. First, they do NOT honor the Yelp check in coupon for $5 off $25 purchase. It has been pointed out according to 2016 review that complained about this but yet its still on there. Second, I did NOT get the advertised sale price on Genius Cube even though I asked her specifically if this rung up on sale. She says yes. I leave the store only to find out it didn't. I had to turn around and come back and wait to get this fixed. No apology whatsoever. Guy asks her if she put it in and she says no I didn't. Keep in mind the time lapse was less than 5 minutes. Prices are a little more expensive on some items if not on sale. The manager (I assume) was greeting and talking to people and ended it with, "Thank you for shopping local." This struck a cord because it reminded me why Toys R Us and many brick and mortar stores are no longer in business. For that reason, I felt better about spending my money here. She also gave me ideas of what to get a ten a year old girl. Now the star was Caleb? He was able to answer my questions about every toy/game I depth of what it did and demonstrated the game I ended up buying. He was personable and very knowledgeable. I would come again to find that unique gift. I will just make sure to check receipt before leaving the register. read more

This toy store has such an amazing selection with great, friendly people working there! I love the birthday box concept where you can pick out things for your kiddo and they will put it aside for friends and family to come shop for them. read more

We value small shops and also enjoy seeing/choosing toys in person so we choose to support this business, even though we may pay a little more. I have spent thousands here over the years. However, for the first time I asked for some gifts to be wrapped and was very disappointed. I'll attach pictures. If you're offering a service you should do it well, in my opinion, rather than haphazardly slapping paper on. This is not something I would feel comfortable giving as a gift. The pictures speak for themselves. I'll also note I felt very uncomfortable when I looked at it and said "that's an interesting wrap job". Rather than offering to fix it, or apologizing, the woman who checked me out went over and whispered to the other 2 ladies working there and they all 3 turned around to look at me. What's that all about? read more

Ella helped me pick out all the items for my children's birthday presents and party favors. She was great! And she decorated my rainbow loom case beautifully! Great worker, she deserves a raise! read more

Great little toy store. I had no idea until recently that you can bring your child here to basically shop the store for their birthday and they will put all the toys the child picked into a bin and offer it at 10% off. Gone are the days of trying to figure out what a child wants for their birthday or getting the same thing twice. You can actually purchase something the child actually picked out and put in their own special bin. Oh and did someone say free gift wrapping? Seriously the best! Amazing customer service too! 10/10 will be back! read more

We absolutely LOVE this store. One of the greatest things about it is their gift registry. Your kid can walk in there before their birthday and fill up a tub full of items that they would love to have. Friends and family can then be notified and they can go in and pick what to buy your child from his/her selection. Whatever is left un-purchased the family can buy at a slight discount (if memory serves). Inventory here is plentiful and unique. Items available are in all different price ranges. Excellent books, puzzles, science kits, trinkets and etc. The icing on the cake? The customer service. Absolutely fantastic. read more

Great toy story. They have great learning toys as well as the trendy stuff like pop it's and Pokémon cards. I'm glad to still have a toy option other than target and Walmart! Me must keep toy stores alive! Support small businesses!!! read more

Drove 45 minutes to get a birthday gift on Friday 10/30/2020. Yelp says open till 7pm on Fridays, but they actually closed at 6pm. Owners/managers should keep the hours up to date. I'll report the correct hours to Yelp. read more

Great selection of fun gifts for kids. They do a great job wrapping and really make the present look adorable.

I needed a baby gift and had no idea where to start. Amanda helped me pull together a basket of items she knew were popular with moms. And to top it off she personalized the basket which made it a total hit! Friendly, easy shopping for something. That was unique. Will come back for kids presents again. read more

I've been shopping here for 12 years so it's about time to write a review. :) This evening I went in to shop for small gifts for 7 kids ranging from 8-17. Isabella and the other people working tonight patiently helped me and brought me ideas and suggestions within the price range I gave. Then all the gifts were wrapped for me! (Best perk ever!) Over the years I've been shopping here I've always enjoyed the great service and the complimentary gift wrapping. It's the best place to go when you're shopping last minute. And all the team members are always ready to help and make suggestions. What I especially enjoy is the size of the store- there's a great selection without the big warehouse feel. read more

Cute toys store, they are hard to come by. We bought a Magna-Tiles for $43.99 and in target, Walmart, Amazon... it costs 39.99 so basically $5 more but they have some deals like toys outside on clearance. Then buy $25 or more on a certain table and get a pencil box free (mind you the pencil box is huge). they offered free gift wrap, which was great. Even though my son was there to pick out his toy he loved opening it at home. They also gave him a freebie which was a sensory toy. very sweet. Thank you p.s also mind you the gift wrapping is free, the worker did a wonderful job gift wrapping but I saw a comment below me about the gift wrapping, let me remind you Amazon now charges about $7 to gift wrap. Either do it yourself, pay for someone to do it or don't complain how it looks like. that's it. Thank you read more

I came here part in curiosity and part because I needed some things within the store. It looks smaller on the outside but when you get inside it is quite bigger. My grandfather had just had a couple of strokes and we needed some items to help him build back his general motor skills. I asked one of the workers who was able to give me some ideas, they were really nice about it and tried to think of the best possible things. Their slime section is really well put together and well stocked. I also asked about it and they were very helpful in answering my questions. I didn't know there were so many different textures of slimes! They even had little testers for each texture and scent. I ended up finding a few things for myself as well. Do recommend for literally just anyone who has some free time, there is something for everyone here read more

My six year old daughter and I were told to leave the store because she is autistic and can't wear a mask, she was in tears. This is discrimination and they just lost a customer for life. read more

There was a "Meet Peppa Pig" day event and thought it would be fun for the little one. Since this place is a toy store, it's already a win-win. What a cool toy store!!! More than cool! I was excited to see so many things! If I were to have a toy store, this place would certainly be the kind. Something for all ages. Really! You and the kids can spend quite a long time there. Prices are decent. There is a lot of a lot, if that makes sense! I may have had more fun than my kid. Possible. Felt like it. The Peppa Pig event was a great way to get people to come in, not that they really need it... but, something for the kids to do on a Saturday afternoon. We will definitely return because they have calendar full of events. read more

Our favorite local toy shop!!! The kids love coming here and so do the parents The staff is awesome and always willing to show how the games work or show the new toys that came in. We love Learning Express!!! read more

Lots of fun and educational toys. Things to play, things to craft and build. Things to cuddle. Love this place!

Where was this store when I was growing up? There are thousands of toys and games packed into every corner of this store. With every step a new novelty draws your eye, as well as some of the classic items that are always fun. One could spend hours perusing the inventory. It's wonderful how many of the items are also educational. There were even live baby frogs. I really liked the eye-catching LED jellyfish and emoji pillow that were super plushy and soft. Kids of all ages will find something they like from infants to seniors. Being in this store definitely brings out the kid in me. There are also some really great discounts if you get the Learning Express stamp card. read more

We have been going to Learning Express for years! This store keeps up with popular items, and great prices. The staff is always so sweet and helpful. We enjoy looking around the store at all the fun items they have. This is a great place for birthday gifts, or a special reward for your kiddos, read more

Everyone who works here is an absolute joy and as a squishmallow collector I appreciate that I can keep up to date with their stock on Instagram. Always incredibly well organized in there as well. read more

Acceptable prices and great selection/variety, but their $5 check-in coupon is a lie. Me and my friends drove all of the way from Elk Grove to this store, only to be told my the manager that they don't take the coupon at this location. This is false advertising. To the owner(s): if you don't honor the coupon here, then take it down from Yelp. I felt very mislead and I'm turned off from visiting again because of this. read more

I have been a big fan of Learning Express on Douglas Blvd for years. The service and employees are fantastic. Here's the best kept secret: Being so busy with work and family I love how I can call the store and order a last minute birthday gift... Just call LE, and state age, girl /boy, and dollar amount...they take over from there. The gift will be waiting fully wrapped! I can attest the gifts are often the coolest, newest toy at the party. We also had our 6 year old's Birthday Party at the store and it was a 10! There's no reason to shop anywhere else if you are looking for great toys or gifts for children. Doug Clifford, Auburn, Ca read more

Absolutely LOVE this Place!! I have been looking for a place I can take the kids that have toys that help with learning and make learning fun and thankfully found this GEM ! They have something for literally every age and the BEST PART, THE STAFF!! They are the friendliest people when you walk in to the moment you walk out. They are knowledgeable on everything in the store and will gladly show you and/or play a game with you before you purchase. They offer gift wrapping! They also have the best idea, Birthday Boxes for your child to create for their special day!! I had the pleasure of speaking to one of the owners and told her how much we love her business! We are loyal customers and are thankful for them! read more

Went to this place for the first time with my 5 year old son and 8 year old niece. They kept busy for 90 mins easy just exploring and playing with the diverse variety of toys. Staff even helped them learn how to play a few board games. Will definitely go back. read more

Not only does Learning Express display an excellent selection of books, games, art supplies, and toys that are appropriate for ages 1 month to 100 years, but they also have really great products. What is a "great" product? One made with quality materials, is educational yet fun, and has current characters and themes to excite the kids. Games like Rush Hour, crafts like Sticky Mosaics, and outdoor toys like stomp rockets are always hits when we give them as birthday gifts. Speaking of birthdays, they offer these clever "birthday boxes" where kids can place what's on their birthday wish list into a personalized bin. I know, I know....at first, I cringed at the thought of a gift registry for children. But, as someone who has now been on both sides of the birthday box--as a mom of a recipient and as a purchaser of gifts for many friends--I love knowing that I'm giving the child what (s)he really wants. And, not only do they give a 10% discount on items purchased from a Birthday Box, but they gift wrap all purchases for free! If I happen to be in the store mid-morning on a Saturday, I'm guaranteed to see friends in the store grabbing last-minute gifts for that day's birthday parties. No more shoving stuff in a gift bag as you run out of that big business box store! Whenever I am in doubt about what to buy, the staff is available to help me find just the right gift by asking about the child's interests and making excellent suggestions. They often have samples and open boxes set out so that you can play before you buy. I'm always telling my kids, "OK, we can stay for 5 more minutes," because they never want to leave! read more

My first visit. I love all the variety of toys and books ! An excellent place! Caleb and a gal were wonderful. Excellent customer service. So glad I found this gem read more

So I use to come here for beenie babys when I was like in 5th grade and completely obsessed with them.... despite the fact that LE basically fueled one of the most embarassing addictions of my life... they still get 4 stars because whenever I buy my little cousins toys from here they ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEM... but I cant justify giving them 5... I mean its not like LE is FAO Schwarz. read more

When I walked in the shop I was like "wow!" This place had loads of fidget toys everywhere. I was a little bummed out because the needohs weren't there. They did say that they were on back order and they would come soon. They had a lot of slime,pop it's,unique dimples,regular dimples (I bought the glow in the dark one)fidget spinners,stress balls,e.t.c I would definitely recommend stopping by if you love fidget toys. read more

What a GREAT store!!! I am SO impressed with this business from the staff, owners and FABULOUS customer service!! It is rare to find a family owned toy store anymore. There products are extremely high quality and the pricing is great! I have a son and daughter and feel they could find the perfect item for each of them at this store! GREAT variety! I feel the staff takes an incredible amount of time with the children to help them figure out exactly what they are looking for. You do not find this type of customer service anymore! They are GREAT!!! I would highly recommend Learning Express (Both locations) to anybody!! They know how to treat there customers and treat them like family!!! Thanks for the great experience! read more

Best independent toy store I've EVER been to!!! So glad they are in town. Great toys and books. Legos, Playmmobile, American Girl, Usborne, Hello Kitty, as well as all the latest Kendama and YoYo products. I also like the science based products and inexpensive items near the cash register for unique gifts and sticking stuffers. They have classes and contests. We stop in after school to get a Jamba juice and to peruse the toy store, very fun for all! read more

Joe is the best! He's so knowledgable and always has the best recommendations. I only come in when he's here, because it's always such a good experience! read more
