    Really big lego store with so much selection! There are a few larger models that you can take pictures with, outside you can sit on a bench with lego friends. Inside they had a storm trooper. They had a couple of stations where you can build your own minifigure. Lots of staff willing to help you out. Since it had a larger selection then the other suburban stores we frequent, it was nice to see the fancier larger model sets. Expect to spend full price on the lego set, but at least they have reward points!

    Cool store and selection. The staff also go above and beyond. I will definitely come back next time I am in the city. A+++

    My boys love it here and enjoy creating sets. When birthdays roll around this is usually a stop for us along the way. My new 13 year old pilot had his eye on the Concorde. Instead, he chose a different aircraft so he can build with his younger siblings. The prices here are similar to what you find at other stores. There is also a rewards program. There is plenty to choose from and can also create your own mini figures. Service was awesome as they checked on us to see if we had any questions.

    Always a great experience shopping at the Lego store. My lids and I can spend hours in there looking for out next building adventure. The employees are also really great with interacting with my kids.

    If you were a kid like me, Lego has been a huge part of your life since as long as you can remember. This store definitely fulfills my childhood dreams. They have so many options, from creating your own mini figures (each figure can have 5 parts and 3 figures are $9.99) to full kits that range from inexpensive to "holy crap, why?", allowing you to find something no matter what your price range is. I personally recommend if the Lego store is your main stop to save up a minimum of $100 because the cool stuff is always expensive. If you're just looking to expand your basic block supply or a few lego people, you could probably walk out only spending $20. Outside of the products for sale, they had a fun area that scanned your hand and showed you what your lego character is. I also loved the lego dragon that was curved around the store and the lego people with a spot on the bench for a human, making a great photo OP. I am definitely glad I stopped in on my trip.

    Me and my friend built the absolute dopest dragons here. I highly suggest checking it out, it's decently spacious and a nice highlight of the mall.

    Nice place for kids and adults. The store is very open and you can see in through all the glass exterior windows before you even go in to shop. They have large figures on display and many items to choose from.

    Wanna go to this store? OK! Leggo! The LEGO store is expensive. It's too expensive. But so is this whole mall. It's located at Water Tower Place which is an extremely fancy Mall in the north part of the Loop right on Michigan. Parking around here is non-existent so don't even think about it unless you want to Shell out a lot of money. That's not a play on words - there's no Shell station here. My voice dictation just randomly capitalizes things, much like America randomly capitalizes on the rest of the world for its own ends. Ew. Bringing your kids here can be great for them but if they start wanting to buy stuff here than forget about it - unless you're loaded - or in so much debt that you don't care anymore which seems more likely these days - because you'll need a lot of money just to make that happen. It's like any other Lego store is, but just feels a little bit more fancy. Like Charli XCX. And Iggy Iggz.

    Pretty cool spot for Legos. Pretty much like all the other Lego brand stores. Had an great interactive Lego ID simulator which would tell you which Lego mini-figure you were. Famous buildings of Chicago were on point. But nothing tops the one in NYC or Mall of America. Had all of the new stuff including Home Alone. Even think I saw Titanic. Not much selection of for custom mini-figures. Would return again and purchase something if I can squeeze it into my suitcase.

    The employees at the Lego Store here at the Water Tower are awesome. I've been here several times before on previous trips and came back again recently. We actually visited twice during our vacation and were greeted warmly upon coming in. There are several building stations throughout the store for kids to just play and free-build their own creations. So what is special about this place? Face it, most of the time, Legos cost about the same in most stores. You can get Legos online, at retail stores and bookstores, but the selection here is pretty comprehensive, and the friendly service stands out. They have hard-to-find sets and a lot of Ultimate Collector Series sets. Another great feature is if you buy a mini-fig (we got some Harry Potter mini-figs), you can open them up right at the counter and if you want to trade for another one in their display case, you can pick one out that you like and put the one you got in their display. My kids loved that feature so they were able to pick out and trade figures they wanted for the ones they got. PROS: Awesome service, ability to trade mini-figures, great selection of hard to find sets CONS: can be crowded and busy with lots of kids running around. BOTTOM LINE: if you like Legos, you need to check out this store. We'll be back again

    Hit the Water Tower one as the staff is fantastic and they usually have the hard to find items.

They take credit cards, but are very reluctant to take them here. It's like she increases the minimum amount every single time. I guess I'd come prepared by bringing cash here. Sometimes they have their son working here who can speak some English, which is better than the other bookstore in Chinatown. I guess it forces me to practice the little Mandarin I remember.

The selection is not too bad, considering they are recovering from a flood. There are so many titles and a vast array of topics available. I found some classics, fiction, a wonderful selection in their non-fiction area, and translated books. They also provide you with lists of books that have won prizes or coincide with different regions in the USA and the world! I thought that was very helpful. It's a medium-sized store, but their displays are quite prominent. Everything is easy to grab (no ladders or staff needed to get to the high books). All the areas are labeled and it's visually pleasing. The staff was nice, too. Checkout was easy and they were friendly. Prices are standard of paperbacks and hardcovers. You are paying for an indie bookseller (I paid about $40 for two books, which includes tax). I wasn't at all disappointed with the price. They also have a loyalty program for those that are regulars. I really am happy I checked out this spot. It was beautiful and friendly. There was a lot of books and totes to chose from, it was hard not to leave with more in my bag!
