“I had been recommended this store by 2 different friends when I mentioned having questions about certain stroller brands. There unfortunately isn’t a store super like this close to us (we went to Nordstrom & the worker there wasn’t super helpful). My mom, sister, husband & I drove almost an hour to get to here & it was so worth it! Chris was so helpful & helped alleviate some stress I’m experiencing as a soon to be first time mother. Thank you for all of your help!”
“I am from California and every summer I come to visit a friend. This place is ALWAYS the highlight of my trip. The owner is a great guy who’s more than happy to stand around and swap stories about nerdy stuff while offering a great choice of toys at prices that are beyond fair. 5 stars, I’ll see you next year during my visit!”
“Zombie Unicorn Comics is that me of the best comic shops in Chicago. They have a great selection of comics and comic adjacent collectibles and offer pressing and cleaning services. The staff are super friendly and knowledgeable! This place is everything you need in a Local Comicbook Store!”
“I ordered a hard-to-find toy from them online almost a month before a beach vacation. It got hung up with UPS and I didn't notice it until more than a week after placing the order. I was told by a store employee that they checked with UPS and were told to just let it ride. The toy store manager, Angela, decided to ship a second item by hand delivering to the UPS store herself, in an effort to get me the item before I left for vacation. Unfortunately, the item didn't arrive in time. However, upon returning from vacation, I found that the package was delivered with a very apologetic note and a couple of extra goodies for the inconvenience. The second item arrived and we were told we could also keep that one too. Ultimately, I was disappointed that my kids couldn't enjoy the toy while on vacation. However, it was nice to see that they were considerate about the situation and did their very best to make things right. You don't see that every day and I commend them for that. If only the larger companies could take note of this level of customer service!”

“I used to live nearby & spent many hours in this store. The owners are wonderful! I bought so many collector Barbie’s & a few Gene dolls. I met the designer of the gene doll, Mel Odom at an event at the store, got his autograph. It was such fun! I plan on passing all those Barbie’s down to my 2 granddaughters (ages 16 & 18) when they get a bit older. They have picked which ones they want. I live in cali now & miss shopping at gigis dolls. It’s a great place to shop & I highly recommend it! Wish I lived closer so I could go say hello & get some more dolls! If you love dolls you have to check out their store, you’ll be in heaven!”
“The fastest way to relive your childhood! I spent an hour reminiscing with all the toys I had and those I wanted as a kid. Even better when shopping for gifts, giving a piece of shared history back to my loved ones.”
“Making this review partially so I can find the comic store again next time I'm in Chicago land: the tpb selection was pretty good here, I saw some things that surprised me like tpbs of shadowpact and hawkgirl 2006. No guarantee that these will be here when you go, but the point is it's not all the newest stuff (tho I did see the dc Finest imprints and some new tpbs as well) but also got a lot of variety on slightly older stuff that is hard to find at my lcs.”
“These guys are the only place I will do business with. Very helpful and kind, incredibly responsive - every person I’ve worked with. 12/10 would recommend”
“I recently needed an adorable, stylish & quality baby gift and stepped into Babydreams. The staff were warm, friendly & extremely knowledgeable. They offered great gift ideas that fit within my budget and helped me find the PERFECT gift!!”
“the barista, Carrie Ann in the Starbucks inside the B&N is just the best! She is so sweet and makes her guests feel welcome. Andm she makes a great cup of coffee too!”

“The Wild Child is hands down the most amazing toy store I have ever visited. Beyond the incredible selection of toys, what truly sets this place apart is the owners. They are incredibly warm, friendly, and genuinely care about every person who walks through the door. It’s clear they have a deep commitment to Glencoe and take their role as community business leaders seriously. If you want to support a local business that gives back and provides a wonderful experience for kids and parents alike, run do not walk to this place!”
“This is the second time I’ve ordered from this store & both experiences exceeded expectations! The first time, I was looking for a specific product. It was shown on their website, but currently out of stock (in the middle of the supply chain issues). I called to check when/if it would be back in stock and their communication was stellar! They let me know that it had been ordered and kept me apprised of subsequent delays.The second time I ordered (today), I was given the option of free local delivery as one of the shipping methods. The gift appeared at my door wrapped complimentary.Both experiences, the people who work here couldn’t be nicer; they truly understand the value of good customer service!”
“I stopped by to get holiday gifts for my nephews and the salesperson gave excellent suggestions for things they might like. They provided the cutest complimentary gift wrapping, which saved me time during the busy holiday season. Will be back!”
“It is an adorable little shop, when I went they were incredibly helpful and rapped everything up super nicely. My daughter loves to go there. I definitely recommend this store if you are looking for a great kids shop”
“This is a great and quite charming little toy shop. The owner is super nice and very helpful. The array of toys in this relatively small space is wonderful. It was a very nice find on our way through Winnetka. I can't say enough good things about Beat Street Toys!
Highly recommended.”
“Great place. Very nice and knowledgeable owner. Great selection for any interest! Prices are reasonable for reality as it is now. Tidy, bright, convinient location. Big parking lot.”
“I need special party type items for volunteer work I do. It's become increasingly difficult to find the things I need since many of the exclusive party stores have closed. I found everything I needed online at Windy City, and though it's not a store you can walk into and browse, they made it easy to order what I needed online and pick it up at there warehouse. Much appreciate what they offer.”
“Valerie did a great job with my almost 2 year old. He does move around a bit but she was very patient and kind with him. Definitely had a great experience, thank you 😊”
“Wonderful selection of toys for both smaller and bigger kids. We live in Oak Park but frequent this store from time to time and pretty much always find something for our daughter. Friendly, helpful staff. Very patient and kind to the children. Love coming here!”
“My family and I went to buy some loose Pokemon cards that my sons were interested in. The cards that they wanted were very random and consisted of Pokemon using all different energies as well as Trainers. The owner Jester was there and he was extremely helpful, helping us find over 30 of the cards that they were looking through by going through binders and loose cards in a box, which was extremely tedious. We've been to many Gamers Worlds where the employees running the store seem like they couldn't care less about their customers. We were fortunate to have the exact opposite experience here and want to thank Jester so much for his kindness and patience!”
“Big shoutout to Brian.
Came right before opening to purchase riftbound boxes and was able to get them for extremely reasonable prices. they had some supply issues but still allowed me and my friend to make the purchase. Brian even talked about other releases and their events being hosted every week.
First time coming and definitely not my last. I highly recommend if you’re looking to buy some cards.”
