“This Five Below location is great except they've had the back part of the store blocked off for quite a while since November of 2022 since the store opened and the location is almost always out of stock of things and has the same item selection but other than that I really love Five Below you can find things under 5 dollars and upper and service her is great except they close the self checkouts and people have to assist you checking out which I don't understand why if it's self-checkout!”
“It has MANGA! This place is great, the people are cool, and it has manga too, which is apparently rare for stores around here (even comic stores). I didn't see a mention of it on their website, or on this google maps listing, or in the photos, so I only knew because I called and asked. So I'm mentioning it for others. (Oh and if they don't have a title you want, they'll order it)”
“I love it here, I can literally spend so many hours just browsing around the store! I’m a big sentimental stationery girlie and this little shop is literal heaven! Every lap I make around the store I find something new that I want to take home. I’ve been coming here once a week for the past three weeks lol love that staff as well! Everyone is so sweet, kind, and pleasant to talk to. <3”
“Awesome family owned toy shop. Wife and I purchased post cards and stamps during our vacation. Head on in with your kids to get some toys to dissect them from their tablet.”

“From small toys to scooters, this place has everything. Great place to find a variety of toys and activities for you or someone you love. The store employees are courteous and helpful. They will assist you if you need help.”
“There's plenty of parking, it's located by Aldi and Walmart, at North County Square. They basically have everything there that's anything Native. They also have a bunch of beads, feathers, fur, books, and crystals. There are tons of jewelry pieces to pick from that are made by Native Americans. They always have great deals on silver for 50% off. Service is impeccable, Ken and everyone else there are so friendly and helpful. They have new items every time I go so it's worth going to every so often.”
“Hard to find from where we entered the shops. Next to parakeet. Friendly service we had fun looking through the store a lot of items. I observed several families with multiple children find something for every child. Thank you to the employees.”
“I am hoping that this review reaches Moses, a current employee at the Big Shop. Recently, this week, my son bought a Ninjago set. Soon after opening, he lost a pretty significant piece and his building came to a pause. I asked around at the LEGOLAND hotel to see if there was a place to order just a part, they said I’d need to purchase a new set.
Later that day, we stopped at the Big Shop while waiting for rope drop at Ninjago land. I asked an employee, Moses, if I could ask a weird question to which he replied, “there’s no such thing as a weird question.” I asked if he knew where I could purchase a single Lego piece to finish our Ninjago set. He asked about the piece I needed. I explained it was a “wrench shaped” piece which acts as a hinge for a door type piece (real Lego builders will understand). He knew right away what I was talking about and went in the back and returned with 2 pieces (similar to the color we needed) and I later learned it came from his personal collection. I asked if I could pay him for them, he declined.
He literally made my son’s day! My son woke up that morning with the missing Lego piece still in his mind and Moses changed the mood for our day and even our trip. Thank you, Moses ??”

“This is a hotel like none other. Lego bricks and characters everywhere. The halls and rooms are themed and have lots of decorations made out of... You guessed it, Legos. Even the elevators are themed and play party music while you ride in them. Great family fun, especially for families where the kids love Legos!”
“Used to frequent the location in 4S before they became a boxing gym. This location is always busy and has all the toys a child can imagine and more. It's easy to get in and out from and items are reasonably priced. This time around my son wanted a police car. How fitting was it that they charged $5.0 for it!? Lol Be back soon when I'm in the area.”
“We absolutely love it here! Everyone is so kind and sweet! We love Jasmine so much! We also love their Maileg collection, so happy to have found a place that holds one of our favorite heirloom toys. I recommend this place to all of my mama friends!”
