“First off, there is no better collectible store than Mr. Wayne’s. I am beyond happy and grateful to have the opportunity to visit this store. I came from an hour out and every minute was definitely worth it. Met the owner! He is beyond the coolest and nicest person to talk to and 9/10 you will end up walking out of here with a good find at a good price. Definitely visiting more often when I am in town.”
“I have a Bluey loving 4 year old. There is an episode about chess so she became obsessed with learning. I have wanted to come to this store for a while, so the Bluey episode seemed to be perfect motivation to do so. When I walked in, I saw beautiful statement chess boards and fun and quirky boards and some simple elegant boards. We were able to find the perfect chess board for a 4 year old (yes it exists; magnets to hold it to the board and a foldable board game for storage). There is also a book for learning chess and a meetup once a week so she can practice (or I can so we can learn together!). I loved our visit here and recommend it for anyone looking for a chess board or to improve their game.”
“Came in with very little knowledge about Magic: The Gathering, just looking for some fun packs to open. Tom was an absolute delight to us, and made the experience insanely fun and welcoming”
“A big shout out to Bill from Lombard Hobbies. He converted my DC Atlas Trainman® Plus NRE Genset II Locomotive to DCC. Awesome shop with awesome people. Thank you once again Bill for your help.”
“In a world where bookstores have all but disappeared due to the digital age and competition, it is nice to see Barnes and Noble is still thriving. This location is a nice entrance into Oakbrook Mall. This location has 2 stories with a Starbucks located on the second level.”
“First time in the Chicago area and long time collector of Charlie Bears and Jellycat. Upon a recommendation from a friend, I headed to Fairy Tales Inc. What a beautiful shop. Wonderful selection and the store associates are kind, helpful and patient. Very highly recommend checking this quaint store in Lombard.”

“This was one of the best experiences I had purchasing something online. The product was just as described and it shipped quickly. The best part was seeing my daughter’s face when she saw her Frozen Jeep restored to its original glory, she actually thought it was a brand new one, The decals were perfect!”
“Nice store for all kinds of kids stuff in Lombard. Lots of Dr. Who and marvel figures and toys. Prices were decent.Not many customers even on a weekend.Staff were helpful to look and suggest items.”

“We recently had our 1 yr old’s birthday party through Waterlemon at the RSC and it did not disappoint! The venue is aesthetic/beautiful (honestly don’t even need much in terms of decor) and perfect for hosting adults and kids with activities and more than enough space for everyone! Nina was extremely responsive and helpful throughout the planning process and in helping us set up for the party the day of. Appreciated all of her insight/guidance as I am not the best planner! We received so many compliments from our guests- super happy with how everything turned out. Highly recommend Waterlemon!”

“I called the store looking for some cake decor, and Manny was so polite and helpful over the phone. He was able to find exactly what I was looking for and more, and hold it up front for me. When I got there, Jessica and Manny were waiting with my items and happily checked me out. I am so grateful for their help!”
“If you are anxious to get your child’s first haircut as I was, just book with Ms. Sydney. She is so great at her job that my son was smiling whole appointment, it went smooth for us and the style is perfect even we let her do it by her reccomendation. Best at her job. Thanks again Ms Sydney cant wait to have another haircut with you.”
“Our first time here, Stopped in to get a small stuffie for a small child. There were several pleasant knowledgeable salespeople working. They offered a complimentary gift wrap!”
“Another Downers business that has changed its name since I was last in. it used to be called My Favorite Toy Store. Now, some of us might hate to admit it, but there is a little of Peter Pan in all of us. Don't be embarrassed, you will feel right at home in this store. There is a great selection of toys for all ages, actually for the ageless. Why didn't they have toys like this when I was that age? They have things to shake, ride, chew, watch, read, grow, manipulate, make, and wish you had thought of so you could be sunning on some beach somewhere instead of living the everyday grind. And.................. free gift wrap and a reward program. Did I mention that they welcome you to stay and play (oops, I meant shop) until closing time?”
“Great Store Always Stocked. Very clean AC works . Great Deals . Welcoming Staff. Thank y'all . Management is doing a great job
Neighborhood Walmart indeed ?”
“This is a good store to go to if you’re shopping for calendars. Make sure you go when they are heavily discounted. I went today and it was 75% off. We were able to get two calendars for $6.73. Besides calendars, they also have puzzles, board games, etc. I recommend checking them out. Just a FYI, they do open later than some of the other stores. On Sundays, they opened at noon. Service was good. It’s located close to the kiddie haircut place.”
“Even though theres ton of construction around I would still goto this GameStop. Just based off the customer service I received from the Sales Associate that was present at the time I know this is a good one.”
“I’ve frequented different Claire’s stores often for my daughter and have never seen this kind of exemplary customer service. Hailey went above and beyond trying to help me, with ideas and advice and going the extra mile. Kudos to her, this location has a gem!”
“Love this store! Such a great selection of toys- fun, STEM toys, but also has fun toys to just play with. They also have a large variety of Squishmallows and rotate seasonal ones and feature different cartoon characters. This is my go to for kids' birthday gifts. A huge bonus is the free gift wrapping- they do a wonderful job, too! We have been to both the Countryside location (much larger) and Clarendon Hills (we tend to go to this one more since welive closer to here).”
