“Stopped for the first time on Tuesday May 28th. Spoke to Andy, the manager and owner. Great comic shop! An excellent selection of current comics, back issues, and trades. Plus their selection of toys and action figures was really good! I found two trades that were tough to find for me. Andy asked me if it was my first visit. I replied yes and ended up receiving a very nice gift/ thank you bag! Looking forward to my next trip!!”
“Shananigans is a well stocked & friendly neighborhood toy shop with everything under the sun & owners are knowledgeable & helpful with free giftwrap service - I stop here before every celebration or special occasion .”
“Parking is off Falls rd. For gps, use 1813 Falla rd which is the Baltimore Bicycle Works. There's a small lot under the bridge and LOTS of stairs up to the front door.”
“Has a Starbucks inside. It also has Legos, games, and toys, along with books and magazines of all genres and for all ages. Great selection of books, pretty well sorted in the store too.”
“Great place to shop for excellent quality children's items! Very reasonable prices and impressive selection. Owners are so sweet and friendly. Highly recommend!”
“I've been coming to this shop for over 25 years. Amazing selection of whatever nerdy stuff you might like, big back issue collection, and a giant TV that's always playing movies. There's anything you can imagine here, funkos, toys, t-shirts, posters, trade paperbacks and hardcovers, and most weeks there's a sale going on. I used to come all the way from Silver Spring on a weekly basis just to get my new comics, and if I hadn't gotten married and had a few kids, I still would be. I love this place, and I love this town, and I love these people. Come check it out, if for no other reason than to see the space, it used to be a movie theater. It will become your regular weekly hangout.”
“I have come to this location several times to get my rescued Build-a-Bears restuffed, and the staff there is very professional and very friendly, and they know their customers and their faces. They are very enthusiastic about their jobs and they pass it on to the customers. They're always excited to see what rescue I bring that needs to be given new life :3
Every time I come, I leave with more accessories and clothes for my stuffies and I got a new one on one occasion. They are willing to talk with you about what you're looking for and work with you on picking something out, whether it's a new friend or a rescued one. The staff make it a very cozy place :3”
“Had a great experience today with my mom. Was shopping for my baby and the staff was so nice and attentive. Great advice and not pushy at all! Enjoyed my shopping experience. Got two outfits that are adorable and so soft! Such a fun store.”
“I did not realize it was a book a million when I was there. Sign reading bam. Went in there yesterday to look around and found something I wanted right away. While looking I could hear a customer at the register being a bit loud, which caught my attention, and I was waiting to get my item rung up. Listening from my perspective the customer was being quite rude to the employee, and I observed the cashier maintain a calm, professional demeanor the entire time. Doing all they could to help the customer. The nastier the customer seemed to be, the nicer and more friendly the cashier became. I was so surprised I wanted to give the store top notch feed back”
“Blown away!!At the quality of character and just how knowledgeable and well mannered the employee was at this store!!She was able to not only answer every question I had surrounding games and platforms but was also able to personalize it for my specific benefit!!How often does a brilliant employee at a retail store make you feel important?Very grateful and if all retail experiences were this good who knows???”

“The experience over all was great and I found a good quality hammer that I really enjoy. There is also an employee named Jake that was absolutely amazing. He was very professional in addition to being friendly and adept. He actually saved me and my siblings from a burning building back in 2009 and I have never forgotten his heroism. He is the perfect man and quite frankly, I would marry him if he wasn't constantly surrounded by beautiful suitors and scouts for D1 athletic agencies. Over all my experience was outstanding, all in part to Jake, the light of my life.”
“I'm a big fan of Barnes and Nobles and love bookstores in general. My only issue with this location is no coffee shop. They do have a few spots where you can sit and read, but if you want to stretch out with a laptop and an iced mocha like I do, you need to buy your book here and then go a few doors down to Starbucks. So not a one stop shop like I am used to from the midwest.Otherwise they are a clean and well stocked store. I hope the internet doesn't kill this chain as well. I tend to buy from bookstores and happily pay more then online just for the presence of store where I can truly browse and get surprised by titles I would have never seen online.”
“We took a detour into here on our way to another store inside the mall. They have a ton of board games inside. That's what I was really impressed with. Every variation you could think of they have. They even had niche types. Such as Jurassic Parks tribal game. The store recently transferred to a new owner/management and they have some big changes. The plan seems to turn it into a true toy store. The employee make it feel like a local hometown type store. It's definitely worth a visit. Especially in a few weeks when they undergo the changes. If you are looking for games or the mini figure collectibles or kinetic sand. It just a neat little store that seems to be getting its footing. You also can't beat that it's locally owned!”
“Very knowledgeable about games, release dates, consoles, and pretty much any other question you would have about gaming in general. Friendly staff is a bonus when you come here too.”
“Excellent variety, great customer service, and good prices. I love coming into the store because I always discover something new and fun. The staff has always been knowledgeable and friendly, and they make great suggestions for other products if they don’t have exactly what you are looking for. My only suggestion is that I would love the Funco wall to be a bit smaller to make room for other product, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the Pop figures are profitable enough to warrant the shelf space.”
“This Sister keeps her peace no matter what energy comes to her I know working here can be hard but keep your head up Queen ? your service is always great Blessings are always with you Thank you for the Great service and advice ? ?”
“Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. They know their games well and make you feel welcome. Great play space in the back. Decent selection of games and gaming material.”
