I am a great fan of Gepetto's. It is not a toy store but it is a magical world of creativity…read more It is my first time here at the Gepetto's Forum. There are ample parking spots in the Forum. The shop is spacious and well organized. They have a lot of great merchandise to explore. For example; puzzles, board games, Legos, gel pens and other stationary items. In addition to an amazing collection of toys,stuffed animals, dolls, arts and crafts. The staff were very nice. The service was efficient. It is just an awesome place to shop at or buy some gifts.

My grandchildren, like most children whose age is a single digit, think that every store should…read moresell toys and that more is better. They have a point. Grocery stores stock toys at kids' eye level. Target has several aisles stocked with toys that have their own television shows. Best Buy displays toys next to the checkout line. Gepetto's in Carlsbad is a small store stocked with top-quality toys, and in my experience staffed with people who are always eager to help and often able to help. The place is insane during the week before Christmas, but the staff somehow copes. I try not to go there at Christmastime. Shopping with a child for toys in a store whose inventory is not advertised on television is much simpler and more satisfying than taking the same kid to Target. Trust me, I've done both. Since in general the toys at Gepetto's are unknown to the child, there is far less of the "gimme gimme" that happens at Target. And whether a toy is still interesting and unbroken the next day is unrelated to its advertising. A 5-year-old in my family was astonished that there were no Minecraft toys at Gepetto's, and asked if we could go to the nearby bookstore because it would for sure have Minecraft toys. I find Gepetto's selection of child-compatible art supplies to be superior to what's in stores like Michael's, but they cost more. I don't mind.

The place was super clean and even had a space to open packs. They even provide mats so that you can lay out cards without damaging them! My son who is quite young enjoyed the 2 free arcade games. The staff is very knowledgeable about cards, nice, and accommodating. The products were reasonably priced even for the rare hard-to-find packs, and I even got a few gems from their hanger packs! They also have Pokémon cards for those who seek them. I love that the location is conveniently off of the main street and has a quiet setting. They had tons of cards sorted by sport and price that you could flip through. I appreciate how nice this place was and I will come again. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and I shouldn't probably post this so I can keep all of the cards to myself! A+ Coastal Sports Cards and Collectibles!

I had a faulty Tungsten sharpener and, instead of sending it back through the mail, I decided to drive over 30 minutes to resolve the issue in person. I called the day before to let them know I was coming, and they were prepared for my arrival. Upon walking in, I was greeted by Lucas, a knowledgeable and friendly sales associate who made my day! He quickly assessed the faulty sharpener, and although I realized there was a bit of my fault involved, which I did have to come out of pocket no more than what I would pay for a good meal, he handled the situation professionally and graciously. Without hesitation, he honored the product and replaced it with a brand-new sharpener, as well as a Milwaukee tool! This level of customer care is exactly why I believe it's worth investing in quality products from companies that prioritize their customers. I left feeling valued and appreciated, and I can't recommend Arc-Zone enough. Thank you, Lucas, for going above and beyond! I'll definitely be back!

It had a little something for everyone! Some places are willing to barter; people were buying, selling, and trading. We have friends whose kids are into Pokémon and would love this place! We have returned a few more times - we just enjoy family time with a drive down to San Diego area. The mall that this place is in has some cool stores, as well as food establishments and a Regal theater. If you're driving down, make a day of it and enjoy various offerings there.
