Had a great experience in the activity area. We were at loose ends at the end of the day and the play area was too loud and busy for them. We just went to check out the toy store and found the activity area and kept them busy and happy till the mall closed. They were so excited to see a live axolotl and watch the snake being fed. The owner helped my youngest figure out the marble run and oldest had great time with nerf launcher and Turning Toy. If you are looking for a good place to keep bored kids occupied that's not the screaming madhouse the mall player was is, I would highly recommend.

This is a wonderful little science store with a very friendly staff.Although most of the shop items are geared towards kids, there is still a fair amount of merchandise for all ages. I picked up an adorable Giant Microbe plushie set for my office because I enjoy macabre silly things like that. Definitely give this shop a look when you pass by!

My two kids and I went to their shop today for an experiment, play time, and to visit with the animals. It was so fun! My kids really enjoyed all the hands on aspects of the shop and we bought some fun activities to take home as well. It was a great experience and I hope that we are able to book a birthday party with them in the future!

Happened upon the store in the corner of the mall and my 4 year old was delighted. We're big fans of science kits and have gone through so many. Browsing the aisles there was so much variety and so many options that we haven't seen in other stores. I appreciated that there were options for little ones all the way through older ages. I would definitely come back to shop again. We peeked at the play space and it looked super cute and well designed for kids.

Great people and a great little shop. The kids can come and play with many different educational items for a very reasonable $5/hr. Mary and her husband really like what they do and have curated a pretty cool store too! We’ve played at the their store, bought items and my kid has even visited their traveling van. All experiences have been great!

Decent selection of games upto age 12 focusing mostly on age 8. Prices are pretty higher than its competitors. Good local business to support but you should be ready to shell out $$$. Beware, there is a 20% restocking hidden fee for returns even on unopened toys!

Pros: One of those hidden gems that make me appreciate brick and mortar storefronts as opposed to ordering everything online. Really great selection of unique and interesting STEM activities, projects, experiments and games. Mostly geared towards people aged 0-18, but honestly there were a number of items any adult would enjoy. I purchased a soapstone carving kit for a brainy scientist I’m friends with. I couldn’t figure out what to get him for Christmas and the owner of the store suggested it. I think he’ll love it. The owner knows her stock very well. I felt like I was having a curated experience based on my interests, rather than just being sold a line of goods. Excellent customer service.Cons: I wish the storefront were more obvious from down the mall corridor. I thankfully found the place from the mall directory, but what the store is and sells isn’t obvious from the name. I think a lot of people may pass by this gem without knowing what it is.

Outstanding Customer Service & Smart Game SelectionI would absolutely recommend this store to family & friends for in store or web based purchases. The website is easy to navigate with info on games for purchase with great descriptions. I called the store and received excellent customer service from Mary. During the Covid-19 pandemic Purple Me Green at Woodfield provided me curbside delivery for the games I ordered. During the Holiday season they even wrapped and identified with numbers each game they wrapped for me so I could tag for the kids.
