Hobby Shops near Algonquin, IL

“I was about to walk out of the store looking sad. I needed some colorful sand for a craft project. One of the workers asked if I needed help finding something and I told her that it looked like they did not have any sand. She laughed and said it is over near the flowers. I was able to buy a bunch of things since everything I needed and then wanted was in that area!

I was very grateful! It is after midnight and I am still working on my project and will be prepared for tomorrow!!

I wish I would have asked her name!

Thanks!!”

“Birthday party location— truly a hidden gem!! Wanted to share a review because I was looking for a place my crafty 10 year old daughter could have her party. She wanted something different than all the jump/activity places— Michael’s was it!

We did the TieDye Party. The girls loved all of the crafts! It was a nice way for each of them to be creative and bring home some things too! The room was small, but perfect for our group of 9… I don’t think I even realized it was right at the front of the store. Everything was set up upon our arrival!

I was able to select a date/time and pay online. Cost is VERY reasonable for a 2 hour party. Supplies and shirts were all included. We were able to bring in our own food and drinks which was definitely a bonus!

Greg and Kaylin were great hosts and helped ensure everything went smoothly. It was nice that a manager even stopped by at the end of the party to see how everything went! Love the service and care!

If you are looking for something for your artsy child— this is definitely a great place!”

“Went there today. They were great and easy to work with. I had tons of notes and they took the time with me to go through how I had it organized. Highly recommend.”

“I have used them a few times but not for a while. I placed an order and the following day realized I forgot to add a 0.50 spring. They allowed me to add to the order saving me the shipping. With no problems as all. Just sure. Customer service, not dead.”

“We had such a phenomenal experience with Jeff! He helped us diagnose the issue with our pinball machine quickly, got it up and running, and then went out of his way to give us info on proper care, maintenance, and resources for our machine.Arcade Adventures is a great choice for knowledgable and efficient service. 100% recommended.”

“A person who knows his business very well. I'm looking for good coins and bills and some advice and I think it's the right place. I will surely return there permanently whenever I have the opportunity.Thanks for your attention”

“Have been coming here since they opened. Lots of stuff, clean, organized and very nice employees. Able to return items without any issues and a couple of times they went above and beyond while helping with items. This is why I was extremely surprised when they declined to accept a $50.00 bill as payment. The reason given was that the bill was too old. The bill is from 1974. They didn't have access to the marking pens used to identify true currency and the bill did not have the small strip in it, so I was turned away. I know this is not a big deal but it really was an eye opener that a business is willing to lose money because they won't invest a couple of dollars for a marker to see if money is real. Very long story short, No money older than 1990 accepted at Hobby Lobby.
I gave them 5 stars because I still like the place and will continue to shop there.”
