“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”
“I use to come here, when I was little. Our grandfather would hook us up with some money and we'd come back with bags of candy. We loved the coin machines in front of the store and the Dragonball Z cards at the counter.”
“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 ??”

“Most 5 below sadly smell really weird and makes me feel gross. But let me tell you this new one has no smell at all. This is my new go to place. They have so many cute cheap shirts this is a huge recommandation. The only reason it is not 5 stars for me is because they were out of stock on a lot of things”

“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!”
“Such a wonderful family-run store. They are incredibly knowledgeable and always willing to share that knowledge with their customers. Their selection of vintage jewelry is outstanding, the prices are fair, and every visit is a pleasure. A true treasure to the community.”
