“Such a fun experience! The employees were super nice and went out of their way to show me products that weren't even on display. I left with things that I loved (all Pokemon products).There are a ton of Studio Ghibli things, so definitely stop by if you like that. I was surprised to see that they had Ponyo merch. Haven't seen that anywhere!”
“Such a sweet place with a wonderful selection of toys and cutesy items. I stopped in to find a gift for a family member who was getting out of the hospital and found the perfect thing.”

“I love this store ! they have such high quality clothing! I buy my nephew clothing here for his birthday and the holidays. The people working here have always been so helpful as well!”
“I shop here everyone once in a while and they have nice sets at both locations and fairly reasonable pricing.
Where they lose a 5 star review is when they go through the effort to repackage a set for it to be missing a lot of its critical pieces. Rebuilding a 2002 AT-TE I purchased here and missing easily 30 pieces critical to the technic and structural supports are gone. If you’re going to repackage a set it implied it was complete. Maybe in the future notate that if you’re gonna go through the effort to rebag something you’d have to know is incomplete”
“Love this cute, little bookstore!! It’s a wonderful place for gifts for children. Their book selection is perfect and the owner gives great advice on what kids of different ages would like. They also support local authors—we actually met one in the store who drew a custom drawing for our son. It’s obvious a lot of love goes into this place.”

“Made my first visit yesterday for my 5 month old baby. What a cute store with such high quality goods. It's so nice to shop in person at a local business and see and feel what you want to buy! I got a cosy sleep sack for my baby and hope to be back soon.”
“This is a toy store(visited the Brookline location)with a variety of toys, books, creative projects and various other items. The little friends love visiting @ Henry Bear's Park!”
“I wanted to share my fantastic experience we had at Lakeshore specifically with Meghan ( I hope that was her name) From the moment we asked for help she went ABOVE AND BEYOND for us. We have a grandchild who is severely disabled. She took the time to ask just the right questions in such a polite manner to find us the best toys and activities for him. I’m not a big reviewer but I believe, we have such terrible customer service in general in a lot of stores. Most employees hate their job. Not this young lady, she absolutely loved her job and it showed . I felt so good to see someone who enjoy what they were doing and it beamed through her to me and my wife’s experience. The service she showed will stay with her no matter where she works she will always put 100% into everything she does.
We were so lucky to have her help us that day find just the right activities to help our little one enjoy his gifts. We will be back and thank you again for making our stop there an enjoyable one .
To Lakeshore specifically, this employee is someone you want to hold onto for a lifetime . This is what will make your company grow !”

It is full to the brim with treasures - the most beautiful children’s clothing and thoughtfully curated selection toys that you can enjoy in your home and make the most magical gifts. Everything I have purchased there is treasured by me and my children. The owner and her mother who work together there are a dream and such a pleasure to shop with, they have helped me on countless occasions. ❤️❤️❤️”
“Our family loves Battleground! They're one of the few places that still carries Lorcana cards, and we're so happy they do. They're very kid friendly, and are always so kind. They've consistently gone above and beyond offering answers and solutions. Brianna has been especially wonderful, and has even given our daughter free promotional cards and stickers. They make our day every time we come in, and we're so happy to have such a great local game store so close by!”

“A really cute toy store. Amazing people, amazing products. It’s always a joy to go to and I go out of my way for this one specifically due to their stock and personality. If the other Henry Bear’s Park stores don’t have it, this one is for sure to. There’s a puzzle actively being worked on when you go in, there’s a very welcoming energy.”

15/10 I had a lovely time here.”

“Great toy store. The automatic gift receipts on the bar code are very convenient. The MBTA trains are a great gift to bring a taste of Boston to out-of-town friends.”
“I had the most wonderful experience at the Toy Shop. The ladies that work there are amazingly helpful. The selection is quiet good and I always get compliments on the gifts that I buy there. It's always nice to have a local store to shop in.”
“I attended the fabric ornament-making workshop at Maxima Gift Center and absolutely loved it! We created beautiful handmade ornaments by pinning fabric onto foam balls, such a fun and relaxing process. Our instructor, Candace, was wonderful. She explained each step clearly and was right there to help whenever we got stuck.
I left with one finished ornament and a full kit to make another at home. Highly recommended!”
