They sell everything from Thomas the tank engine all the way up to huge garden scale trains.

They have all different styles and scales, from cheap plastic toys to brass models worth thousands. Totally cool! Bring the kids... They have a web site at staubintrains dot com

I think a few of them have a little charge for materials, but it's relatively low, like under $5. The staff here have been kind and I would highly recommend.

I had a very disappointing experience with the balloon service at this location -- twice. For both…read moreof my daughters' birthdays, I placed balloon orders a day before the parties, and both times the most important balloon was missing. In addition, many of the other balloons did not have enough helium and started deflating before the party even began. Unfortunately, there was no refund offered, and the customer service attitude was unprofessional and unhelpful. This experience really affected the celebration and caused unnecessary stress. I would not recommend ordering balloons from this location.

Last time, it was a new girl with someone shadowing her, I figured i was good since she had someone monitoring her. The monitor was pretty distracted with chatting and when i got home, i realized that i had been charged full price for paper plates and napkins which are ALWAYS 50% off. why not just price them that way? anyways i got taken that day. Today i bought 8 of the tshirts that are marked $4.37 but are again always 30% off or $2.99. i honestly think the cashier was the same new girl from the last visit (3weeksago). she rings up the first two shirts at $4.37 each. i told her that they were always 30% off and she just blankly stared at me and grabbed another shirt to ring up at $4.37. i said please stop as i am not paying that price so please look on your sheet to see that they are $2.99. She really didn't seem to have a clue what to do at this point so i said to the cashier at the next register "how much are these shirts?". trying to assure the young girl that they were $2.99. the other cashier said they are $2.99 30% off and told me to not scold her as she's new and that i should be patient with her?! what? who wasn't patient? i got that she didn't have a clue what to do and was trying to get her some assistance on how to proceed as she had frozen. The nerve of that woman to criticize me in front of many others when i was supportive of the young girl without mindlessly paying twice the cost so she wouldn't have to deal with the real price. So.disgusted. if someone needs extra training - please provide it to them but don't yell at your customers when they try to work through the situation.

I'm a big geek and love craft-like activities. Usually I get my best ideas wandering around stores…read moreand looking at various items and thinking of different ways to use them. Hobby Lobby is a land of a bazillion potential ideas. I walked around for an hour and a half (much to my sister's dismay) and had to stop myself from starting too many projects at once. The home decor items are at the very least interesting and the very best unique and fantastic. You'll find your fair share of ceramic roosters, but there are some great treasures there as well. I don't like buying things there unless they are on sale. It seems to rotate through the sections. One day ribbon is full price, the next day it is half price. Just don't pay full price unless you have to. The paintbrush section is a lot better than Michael's selection. There are more brands and higher quality brands with more brush shapes. It's no Blick, but for suburban McHenry, it gets the job done. The paper options are also notable. They had a LOT of different types and prints. Some Michaels have a good selection, but I have yet to see one as good as Hobby Lobby. If you are like me and like picking up items and getting ideas, the clearance section is like a treasure hunt. I picked up a lot of very cheap items that I know I will use in the future. It's quite fun to dig through. Why 2 stars? The owner of Hobby Lobby has no interest in supporting women's rights or gay rights. WHO DO YOU THINK SHOPS AT YOUR STORE??? While I think the employees I've come across are fantastic and truly enjoy the store, I just can't give it more than 2 stars. And sadly after writing this and feeling rather hypocritical about shopping here....I will put my money behind companies who care about the rights of their customers and employees.
