“I've been coming here for almost a decade. Originally as a board game collector but more recently as a Warhammer player. Excellent store for many different kinds of games and the staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful. Also a great spot for Magic the Gathering and other card games.
My go to gaming store for a long time!”
“I love this shop with its great selection of trains, models, and toys.
The staff are particularly knowledgeable about plastic model kits, tools, and supplies.
America's Best is one of my favorite Chicago area shops.”
“THIS PLACE IS THE BEST. My husband and I visited on a random Wednesday, just to see what we could find. We easily spent 45 minutes here (but honestly, you could probably spend over an hour, depending on how much you like nostalgia). If you love Star Wars and Marvel, this is the place for you. I, being a Disney nerd, found some cool Disney memories here (old school Happy Meal toys!). Great record selection, too! A Ron, the owner, is a kind, down to earth guy, who obviously knows what's up! We can't wait to visit again, and are so grateful places like this exist!”

“A bright, cheerful little cube of chaos tucked into Woodfield Mall. The displays are fun, the shelves are packed, and the whole place has that unmistakable “you’re definitely leaving with something you didn’t plan to buy” energy.
The store does feel small, especially when the weekend crowd rolls in. It’s not cramped, but you’re definitely aware that every square foot is doing overtime. Even so, it stays organized and well‑stocked, so browsing never turns into a full‑on obstacle course. A solid stop if you’re even mildly susceptible to impulse purchases or just want a quick hit of color‑coded joy.”
“They’re super nice they usually let us go back and look at everything since it’s a lot of stuff they have. Went today for the Mother’s Day sale and got 3 things for only $9!”
“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.”
“I had a great time during the tenth anniversary of the store for my first time being there and would highly recommended for anyone to come even if you don’t buy anything and just look at the great builds they have in store and the ships are awesome”
“Went here for the first time since my daughter had a gift card. Really cool store with a good toy selection and staff was friendly. One of the last few toy stores in the area I’m aware of.”
“My absolute favorite store for gifts for children of any age. Everything is made specific for children’s growth and brain development. I am so sick of glittery, loud useless toys that do nothing but promote some created character. Any choice in this store would be a good one. It is perfectly laid out with informed and engaged employee’s and a ton of parking. Forget Bluey and choose something that will bring a child genuine growth and development in addition to the pure joy of having a new toy!”
“To be honest I actually missed what it used to be in hhgregg I really like to always have so much stuff even the best toys. It reminded me of Toys r us.... Kinda.”

“Orderly store on a Saturday afternoon. When I first came I saw a sign that store was closed due to a power outage. But soon enough they opened the doors and I was able to get in and shop.”
“I want to give a shout out to Ness for making my son feel so welcomed and cared for as soon as he walks through the doors. The way she gets down on his level, makes up stories to go along with him and stims right along with him, the way she explains and is patient and caring omg I couldn’t ask for any better associate to help my son, also a shout out to Toby for making things fall threw when my son puts requests in on certain ones, and being so kind and caring, this store is by far has the most kindest amazing caring patient staff I have ever met, you guys have made us dedicated customers for life thank you”

“I was on the hunt for blind boxes and saw that Too Cool had some, however, when I visited, the ones I wanted were out of stock (i.e., studio ghibli). Overall, their blind box selection was limited. They did have a lot of anime figurines, keychains and plushies. And, a small section of Kpop.”
“I had an awesome time at this Build‑A‑Bear location. There were so many options, and I had a lot of fun choosing my plushie with my friends. They also have great deals on certain days, which was a nice bonus. The staff was super friendly and made the whole experience even better. This is by far the best location I’ve been to, and I’d definitely come again.”
“Other reviews are a little harsh - if you aren’t looking for the hyper popular singles you can find a couple of decent deals here! Most of the cards I saw were in great condition and the ones that weren’t mint were priced down accordingly. Nice guy at the desk too!”
“God bless the whole staff at this location! They did a GREAT job on the Mega Evolutions release. Shout out to Michelle, Dana, Dakota, & John for not only being super organized, but also maintaining their cool & patience with the insane line & endless calls! ❤️”
“I've been bringing my son here since his 1st haircut. Its been six years so far and he still gets excited to see Mirjeta! She has not disappointed us yet. The salon has a fun environment for kids and the staff are very friendly. Haircuts are fast and efficient and turnaround is fast. Always amazes me that as much as my kid fidgets and shimmies around, Marjeta still manages to do a better job on his hair than my barber does on my hair (with me sitting still). I think if I fit in the kid seat, I'd get my haircuts here too. A+ service and quality, repeatable results. No complaints! Highly recommend.”
