“I’ve been shopping here for years. There is never a shortage of options for thoughtful, unique and often local gifts. The store is a delight to explore and it is owned and staffed by delightful humans.”

“Stopped in for a last minute birthday gift and the staff was super helpful recommending the perfect gift for a 4 year old! Great selection of toys and crafts with a book section as well. They also gift wrap!”
“I have been to many Lego stores around the world and the one at the Burlington Mall is one of the best in the US for an AFOL. First, the series minifigs were sorted so that you could buy the ones you wanted with reasonable certainty. Although LEGO probably frowns on this, I for one, bought many more because I only wanted certain parts or certain minifigs. Second, thankfully, they had a baseplate with all the elements that they had in stock, both in front and it the back. That is incredibly helpful. Unfortunately, I didn't need any PAB. Their in-stock set selection was good also. However, I didn't know whether my visit coincided with re-stock day or whether this was normal. The employees were super, super friendly and had just the right amount of "do you need some help" while allowing me to just browse and take in the ambiance of the store. Definitely one of my favorite Lego stores in the US.”
“The Corvette game for ps2 is awesome. I was excited to see this game there. C1-C5 corvettes on this game. It’s from 2003, the 50th anniversary C5 is on this game. Any corvette lover will love this game.”
“Great and informed staff.
Especialky thankful because in-person was a better choice than online given my needs.
I am part of a program called Book Buddies that provides books for 3rd graders who might not otherwise have a library of personal books at home. The goal is to foster a love of reading by providing books our students ask for.
I was matched to a young woman. Who never tells me what books she wants, but with the help of the knowledgeable staff, we were able to identify a couple of books that would be both at her reading and interest level and one a bit more challenging to encourage her to read over the pending break.”
“Great location! Drive up here from the South Shore to pick up Agricola. They were nice enough to hold the game for me for a couple days! When I arrived they helped me locate an expansion as well! It was a popular store with lots of people playing games in the back. That was nice to see. It’s also in a very convenient location on Route 1.”
“I had the pleasure of working with both Matt and Pat yesterday morning/afternoon (1/25). I'm pretty new to lego since I played with it as a kid. Both Matt and Pat were incredible helpful and friendly. Rarely do I find the customer service, care, friendliness and professionalism they both provided! I will be sure to come back to this specific store because of their help. Thank you so much for all your help!!”
“I went into the store with my 3 year old today (who uses a walker). The manager was super friendly and helpful. Great selection of educational toys. Will be returning! :)”
“I stopped in to browse while I was passing through the area. Super cool place! Great music?, huge selection of comics and memorabilia. Will stop by if I pass through again.”
“Great little spot full of really cool and unique gift ideas, I find myself here often when I'm on Market St. sometimes it's something in the window that draws me in, other times it's just curiosity but this place never seems to disappoint. Worth a visit if you have the time and worth making the time for if you don't.”
“Oh my gosh Shane was amazing and did the entire experience! He made my daughter’s birthday so magical! This is the first time someone really went above and beyond. He did the whole heart ceremony, the bath time for the bear, and helped my daughter dress her bear. He was also extremely kind, we didn’t feel rushed at all which was so nice. Reminded me of when I was a kid and the magic was there.”
“They might be a little more expensive but it's a family owed busines. I would rather bring my child there and spend my money so they can have that toy store expensive. I had toys R us growing up.They are super friendly and they have tons of fun toys for all ages”

“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.”

“This type of store didn't change much over the years. Different items, plenty of t shirts, phone accessories, promo items etc.. still found some books and other stuff. Had an ok time. Will visit when back in the area again.”
“Lovely store. Lovely accessories. Just like Disney! Except that they sold an offensive snapback hat with a middle finger. Why is that type of clothing even in stock?”
“SO MUCH CUTE STUFF AND IF YOU'RE A KPOP OR SANRIO FAN YOU'D BE OBSESSED. Minus a star though because some things are overpriced and some don't have price tags on them so you always have to ask an employee.”

“I've been traveling to Massachusetts for the last 14 months for work. While it's been difficult to be away from my 7 year old, I've been able to win some points with a periodic gift from Magepie.Karen is super helpful and friendly. This place has become a sort of beloved staple on my New England routine. Highly recommend!”
“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.”

“Nice shop. Friendly staff. Got back to hotel to pack gifts. EVERYTHING MADE IN CHINA. I personally try to buy made in America. In such an important place to our country's history, I hoped to find merchandise made in America.”
“Very friendly and helpful staff, great variety of toys including puzzles, outdoor toys. You can find toys for all ages here, including STEM/educational toys. There is also a wide variety of Lego sets with different price ranges, perfect for last minute birthday gifts. Finally, there is plenty of parking around.”

“I've been going here for a while and Its been a very welcoming environment with a great community. The owner is understanding and polite, and he has a great selection of cards, miniatures, and games for good prices. I've always come in and been able to play whatever I want or buy whatever I want with little to no issue. Whenever I am there he's always polite to whom ever walks in and will answer all their questions to the best of his ability. For example last Saturday a boy and his dad came in asking about Warhammer 40K and he answered them and showed them a set that might work for what he wanted, but before they spent any money he recommended that he do research and come in the next day to watch some more experienced players. Overall it's a great experience and cannot recommend it enough.”

“I love the store, excellent products with discounts all year round.
Excellent quality and without a doubt the best children's clothing store/brand! The staff are very friendly and attentive.”
“Had a great experience here when looking for boxes for some rather large gifts (boxes used for bowls and/or vases). Angie was super helpful! She showed me the type box available, and even put it together for me, and when I went to get the item and tried it, it worked perfectly! I felt so happy to find these boxes, and bought several. Angie was friendly and very customer service oriented which I really appreciated. Karen also was helpful at checkout. Although I didn't look around too much on this visit, the store seems loaded with nice gift items! I highly recommend this Paper Store. Kudos to their outstanding staff!”
“I took both boys to Build a Bear North Shore Mall sat. It's not too expensive there are deals going on 2 for 40 . It's an interactive experience. The kids have to step on a pedal that makes the giant clear bear stuffing machine turn round n round. It honestly was so cool. After the bear or dinosaur in our case was filled the woman has kids select a heart ♥ to first hold to thier own heart before putting the heart in thier new stuffed animal. It was only like 5 bucks to upgrade to the real heart beat to add into it. One the kids selected real Dino noises but you could be there just an hour actually looking at every noise or you can record yourself . The accessories are also inexpensive giant beds for the stuffed animal and cars for them to go in. They advise the kids now go brush your dinos and give a bath it was a very interactive activity alot to it then for free you can go enjoy the kids play space at North shore mall which is in front build a bear so minimum 20 to make the bear then spend hour at playspace decent afternoon out for families on budget !”
“My little brother (13) and I absolutely LOVED this store!! The secret area is so magical and pretty and it truly heals my inner child, and my brother had so much fun showing off his basketball skills and there’s an area for painting although I’m not sure if that’s something you just do, or if you sign up for it. It was so fun and had super cute stuff I would’ve totally bought more if I had the money!! The girl who checked us out was super kind and I didn’t even know that the back area existed until she asked if we wanted to check it out. if you’ve never been here, GO. It’s SOOOO fun and cute and nice there. I can’t wait until I can go back!”
“This Paper Store has recently relocated to inside the Burlington Mall.Located right next to Fogo de Chao, this new space is much bigger now which means there's more product to shop! The design of this new location is also clean and very modern feeling. Same as at other locations, you can find jewelry, apparel, toys, greeting cards, and more. I also saw that they offer ear piercing which I've never seen inside of a Paper Store before. Glad they moved to the mall because parking is a LOT easier now.”
“Visited and bought some books, Vallejo paint, and an Eevee mini for the wife. It was a packed store with a lot of fun finds! Prices are fairly priced for most of the store and I'm sure there are gems if you look ahead enough!”
