They are always friendly and helpful and I like that you can order cards online and pick them up. My one suggestion is I wish they had some cards on display.

I understand resale and small business pricing, but these prices felt unreasonable and not collector-friendly. I walked in expecting a place that supports the community: fair pricing, unique items, or at least a welcoming vibe. Instead, it felt like the focus was mainly on squeezing profit out of every product, rather than creating a good experience for customers or collectors. If you're looking to spend your money wisely, I'd recommend checking other local shops or retail stores first. You'll likely find the same products for a much better price -- and save yourself the frustration

It's always a thrill to step in and find a little trinket to take home with me. A true toy store. We are lucky to still have some like this in Austin. RIYL: Childhood wonder

She was mind blown to say the least! She loved how many toys she got to try out, climb on, and getting to see other kids playing and having fun too. We also had a good time seeing what she liked and didn't like which helps us when purchasing toys for home. I love the fact that it's so affordable and cost so much less than the Thinkery which actually does not have much for a baby to do. Here, we only had to pay for the "player" and you get in and out privileges for the rest of the day. Such a cool concept that even offers babysitting. We can't wait to go back!

We visited for the play session (not the toy rental membership) and unfortunately left…read moredisappointed. The biggest issue is that many of the nicest toys are displayed right where children can see them, but they're only available to members for rental and aren't allowed to be played with. Our son is almost four, and he spent much of the visit asking to play with those toys. We repeatedly had to tell him no, while the toys that were actually available to play with were often very worn, incomplete, or missing essential pieces. For example, the train set didn't have enough track pieces to build a complete layout, and there were two dollhouses (a fire station and a police station) that looked like they would have been great for imaginative play, but they were missing the figures and accessories that make them usable. A fire station without firefighters or a police station without people isn't very engaging. The entire play area felt tired and overdue for an update. Many of the toys, furniture, and chairs showed significant wear. Looking through older reviews and photos from several years ago, it seems this may have once been a much nicer space, but it doesn't appear to have been refreshed or maintained to that same standard. I think this might still be enjoyable for toddlers under about two years old, but for preschoolers, the lack of complete, engaging toys was frustrating. If the rental-only toys were kept in a separate area instead of being visible but off-limits, it would probably make for a much better experience for the children who come just to play. We really wanted to like it, but we won't be returning.
