Emma is so helpful as well! We've purchased a little princess tent for my little girl and she loves it. I also picked up some sensory toys for my boy and he carries them around everywhere now. We will be back at least once a week now. Highly recommend this place. They have a great selection of toys and the service is great.

We visited Learning Express today for their Pokemon trading event advertised on Facebook. Imagine two seven-year old faces lighting up because toy stores with shelves and shelves of toys are few and far between. With their binders in tow, they explored the shop like it was a candy store while the smiling employees set up for the event. Did you know they do game demos in store!? Who needs a big box store!? Thank you for bringing my son and his friend joy one more time in 2024! Bring on 2025!

She loves stickers and coloring books and we found a 2-in-1, Pipsticks Color Your Own Stickers Book! And had to get the hilarious word game I loved since I was child, Mad Libs! As a family we pencil them in almost daily! Not to mention they're educational, they have helped both our 6 year old and the twins I nanny better understand their nouns, adverbs, adjectives and verbs! I picked out Dance Mania Mad Libs, since she loves to dance! I would HIGHLY recommend stopping into America's biggest toy store franchise! They have it all from our daughter's current obsession "aka" Squishmallows, fun tabletop games, cool coloring books, kids jewelry, puzzles, baby toys, crafts and even free gift wrapping just in time for the holiday season! I also couldn't help but notice that they had a birthday box registry, what a creative idea for those who are unsure of what to get the birthday boy or girl! If you're looking for the hottest toys with great prices and the sweetest staff, check out this amazing local toy store! We're looking forward to returning!

I love to shop year-round to find fun unique things for her and this is the place to do it, they have everything a child could possibly want! We also really enjoyed re-living memories together of the games and toys we played growing up when we were children ourselves! Support this small local business that's been in business since 2014! We found everything we needed and for the quality and well stocked store, it's definitely worth a re-visit! Good luck leaving empty handed!

The store had been completely reorganized since the last time I was in so I couldn't find anything…read moreI was looking for on my own. Fortunately there were workers circulating the store offering help to guide me to the new location of the items I needed. I went in for some classroom supplies and I was excited to find items I needed on sale. The service was great and I love to feel like I'm getting a deal. There was a "buy one get one half off" deal going on and I didn't know, but I also had points which took $15 dollars off my order. Wow. Super grateful for all those deals and the cashier was happy to put me in the loop. I'll definitely be back soon for more cute and practical classroom swag!

My wife got a gift card to the Lakeshore Learning Store which was great as she just transitioned as…read morea pre-school teacher at a new school, so there is a shortage of supplies and some supplies that was ordered had not come in yet. This store is know by teachers for educational supplies, tools, toys, etc. browsing through the store with my wife, it seems like most of the stuff geared towards elementary school kids, particularly the younger kids. There is seems to be a nice selection of items and educational aids throughout the store. My wife was able to easily spend the $50 gift card and then about $38 on top of that. If you sign up for their email list, they will give you a free store branded reusable bag. The employees seem very nice. It was a pleasant store to shop in. I'm sure my wife will want to come back sometime in the near future to purchase more stuff. We live closer to Walnut Creek, so next time, we may try going to that location to see if there are more items not available at this store.

While hanging out in Folsom the other day, my husband and I decided to visit The Cave to see if we…read morecould expand our growing Funko Pop collection. I really liked that the Folsom location had a way bigger selection of Funko Pops than the Arden location. There is so much stuff to look through in general at this location, since it's roomier. I specifically scoured the shelves for some Funko Pops to take home, and came across the cutest Jurassic World one (shown below) that I just needed to buy. I also discovered a beautiful Elvis Funko, but that one I decided to hold off on for now. My husband bought a Mewtwo Funko as well (not shown). Most of the Funkos were in really good condition. There was a Stranger Things Funko that I really wanted but alas the previous owner had damaged the box. From a collector's standpoint, the prices are fair. Of course this location had other collectibles and items for sale, such as clothes, records, and whatnot. I've got plenty of records at home and only want to purchase very specific records these days, so I didn't really bother to look in their record aisles. The staff were friendly and chill. I will definitely return to check for more Funko Pops in the near future!

Answered all of our questions, gave us some insight on the challenges small businesses face, and was just overall a pleasure to have a chat with. We wound up getting a few packs of Pokemon cards, and my friend really loved the value he got out of his two packs for $16. In regards to the Labubu they sell a good amount of clothes and accessories so if that's your thing then this is your place. Additionally they had board games, rc cars, and various other fun toys. Highly recommend you support a local minority owned business if you're in the market for any of the items mentioned in this review.
