“I get inspiration in here. It us a calm place, but people are happy in the bookstore. The staff is always helpful, and I find good gifts for kids. They have an amazing selection of jigsaw puzzles if you want to get away from the electronic world. Trust me, all generations will add a few pieces to your project, even if they are not into jigsaw puzzles. We get them for rainy days inside. Books you can't find are easily ordered to the store, to avoid wet packages on your steps... It happens!”
“This place reminds me of what toy stores should look like but usually don't anymore. The shelves are packed but well thought out. Similar things are grouped in the same areas, which is particularly helpful in the board game area. There's a huge variety, from Lego to puzzles to pretend playsets, tactile / fidget toys, things that fly, things that roll, suckers and sweets and so much more.A staff member asked us if we need help - turns out she was the owner, was extremely knowledgeable and gave great recommendations while making us feel welcome as out-of-towners. Next time we visit family we'll be sure to return.”
“They got a nice Manga and anime related good section, not sure if it's in the middle of building or they were cleaning out though. But if they expand on it I think I could see myself coming back.”
“I went to Kiddywampus in Hopkins for the first time the other day! What an amazing toy store! They literally have a little bit of everything including, Barbie, Legos, and Playmobile. I saw art kites, puppets, science kits, books, dress up clothes, stuffed animals and games just to name a few. They had toys for all ages from 0 to 100! They offer gift wrapping and there is even a space for parties or events! It will take a few visits to see everything! Since I have a bunch of kids in my life I will definitely be visiting again and again!”
“We absolutely love Kiddywampus and are fortunate enough for it to be our neighborhood toy store! The staff are so knowledgeable so it’s a great place to go for gifts (plus, they wrap it for free!), a wonderful selection of toys and games, many of which are educational, and some fun events as well! Support this business over online retailers when you can, you won’t be sorry!”
“This was my first trip to a Games by James store the puzzle selection was wonderful. The staff was amazing a big shout out to Steven for holding the puzzle for me and to William plus Anthony helping me get home via Google maps.
Great service overall I will be back.”
“So much fun! Clean and very diverse stations, something for every child from dentist station to baking muffins, to camping in the woods to being a firefighter, this place offers a lot for children and their adult.”
“Store manager Jessica is awesome. She had a lot of patience with my questions and helped me a ton with a discount she provided in the store. Definitely coming back when we’re in town!!”
“The Thinking Spot is a welcoming haven for book lovers, especially those with a passion for STEM. The thoughtfully curated collection offers a wealth of resources for both students and adults.

Plus, they host a variety of engaging events and meetups, (schedule published in their website). I’m looking forward to my next visit!”
