Until now, I have had to do all of my purchasing online or driving for several hours to reach a store that sells these awesome miniatures!

They don't always have the exact JellyCat or blind box my kids are hoping for, but they always have dozens of things I want to buy for everyone in my life, not just kids! We go here to get our Smiski fix. And right now they are showing their good hearts and their strong belief in human rights, so that's super cool too. Thanks Mischief! Great assortment of stickers and pins and lawn signs.

Poor service and very pricey for a toy store. Was disappointed, won't be back again.read more

When you walk in, you'll be assaulted with floor to ceiling displays of toys in the best way possible. I could see how it could be overwhelming for some, but I loved it. Felt so magical. I stopped in while in the area to get some ideas for holiday gifts and ended up getting my auntie gift duties done here. It's a very large space spanning three different areas, with the areas categorized by theme/age. You'll find everything from plushies to puzzles and everything in between here. Truly so many options for all ages (even those harder to shop for tween/early teen ages). I found some adorable play kitchen items for my 1yo niece, and some sweet dinosaur and car toys for my 3yo nephew here. I also love that I could browse, try things out, test quality, etc here unlike shopping online. I even found something for myself here! I was introduced to the magic of NeeDoh and had to get one. Now I already want to go back and test out some others to get. Service was very friendly - I asked for some recommendations for my niece's age, and one team member walked me through options. During checkout, another was very kind. Prices were reasonable, and I'd much rather spend my money locally than on Amazon this holiday season. Highly recommend swinging in to check this place out for holiday shopping season - shop local!

It's refreshing to see toys- like actual TOYS- available for kids to play with, rather than screens. This place was utterly packed to the gills with stuff, from floor to ceiling. Plush snakes and hoola-hoops hung from the ceiling like streamers and decor. I spent a long time wandering slowly looking at it all, but I truly doubt I saw everything in there; it'd be almost impossible to. Lots of plushies, educational toys, craft sets, slime kits, knick-knacks, stickers, candy, construction toys, trains and planes and emergency vehicles, coloring materials, puzzles, books, etc. I can't possibly name it all. You're just going to have to go see for yourself. Some of the staff were busy unpacking more boxes of stuff and finding places to put it all. Two different team members went out of their way to ask if we needed any assistance and were friendly. The bathroom was clean and has a diaper changing station if you should need. We were fortunate to be there in the middle of a Tuesday, so it was fairly quiet. I can only imagine at other times of day, kids would be tearing around in here loudly and excitedly (I daresay understandably so).
