“Loved our experience here! Had zero prior knowledge of strollers, and needed one in the coming days before baby arrives. Not only do they take the time to explain all the different products, they were patient with us when we were going back and forth between brands. Plus side is they are great with communicating on your order and not shy with letting you know about ongoing deals! Thank you Kyle and Eunice, highly recommend Queens Baby!”
“By far the best hobby shop around NYC, has been for ages, not many left. Amazing selection of rc cars, planes, boats, model trains and loads of diecast cars of all makes, models and sizes.
Worth the trip, staff are also super friendly and helpful.”
“Came in here on a whim with my 3 year old looking for cars and from the moment we walked in the staff was so friendly, helpful and kind. We spent a lot of time there browsing before my son finally decided on his cars and never felt rushed or unwelcome. Truly a gem to find and they had so many collectibles, figurines and other toys.”

“Thank you for making my mom's Mother's day special. She has Alzheimer's so isn't able to enjoy much at this stage.....but to see her smile while enjoying a Clark bar that she used to loved made everyone tear up. Thank you for giving her a good day.”
“Went here a few months ago and was blown away by the spaciousness! Definitely more expensive than the other arcades and be prepared to spend more money. However, the merch and plushies are official and licensed, as far as I know this is the only arcade in flushing that does not have bootlegs so that may explain the higher price tag. I will say, I really liked the Lunar New Year promo they had and they should definitely have similar events more often to offset the difficulty and high cost-but at the same time, it's still skill and luck based!Machines are definitely harder, but ask employees for help! The last time we went, we were trying to win a derpy looking dinosaur, and it was very difficult (claw was too weak and plushie was very big and chubby) and the worker helped us reposition. The app did glitch and take away 2 tries for us that we weren't able to play, but the same worker helped us (I never got her name but she had glasses!). She was very encouraging and sweet and helped us win it!”

“I love shopping here and the employees here are very friendly and always helpful . People who have made complaints about how they are treated poorly maybe they should have stopped and think hey maybe I deserved the poor treatment from the employee/s and don’t be a stickler and always expect to be greeted the minute you walk in.You are not a KING or anything ?. So be mindful of your actions first before pointing fingers at others.”
“We stopped in at TrainLand, and it didn't disappoint. We bought a NYC Subway Holiday Train set. It's so refreshing to speak to polite, knowledgeable sales people. Wonderful store, fun guys and GREAT stories!!”
“Awesome place , definitely recommend going for more than one visit
2026:great store i really enjoy coming here i vist twice a week to see what they have in stock , definitely recommend”
“It was a pleasure to visit this place. The owner and I have had a relationship for more than 30 years, and he is truly the best technician. He always knows exactly what I need, and most importantly, he is very honest with his customers. His integrity and expertise make every visit a great experience. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for reliable service!”
“As a new mom, and someone who has 1 million nieces and nephews and a different friend having a baby what seems like every month I would be completely lost without KJ’s. The store is organized by age grouping and the people working there are so knowledgeable on all the newest fads. There’s truly something for every age group and occasion there. They’ve revolutionized one stop shopping: birthday party? Check. Dance recital? CHECK! Stocking stuffers? Check. Easter baskets? Check!!! I feel blessed to have this in my backyard, and to see my money going somewhere local.”
“My toy store! I buy house items for kitchen and bathroom and fun and holidays and I buy work toys and books that are ridiculously good prices. I make sure to check out Amazing Savings every time I'm near one!”
“I absolutely love the pharmacy! The attention I receive is unmatched. I appreciate the communication about my refills and the staff is so friendly. Best pharmacy!”
“Bought two canvas and some other things from here. They had a larger selection than the one I went to previously. Really enjoyed painting these and their perfume/beauty selection. They have a very small array of vegan skincare which I was happy they had at all.”

“No weekend is complete without a run to 5 Below. It's always for something that's needed like a phone charger cord and then I wind up seeing so many other things that I feel like I must have. This location is usually pretty well stocked and the staff is friendly. Every once in a while they're short handed up front but they seem to make it work. On this trip I got pillows and a throw for my guest bedroom because they were super cute and affordable. I also bought another bookcase/organizer because I used one of theirs for my pop up shop set up and it works really great. Even though some things are more than $5 most of my items were actually $5. If you have a very small child, I'm warning you they have lots of cute toys and a lot of candy especially near the checkout so either prep them before you go in or don't bring them.”

PopnGames was excellent. I received my shipment only a few days after ordering. It was packaged well and in great condition.

“Had the pleasure of meeting Bobby today, he is incredible! He is smart, knowledgeable, and glad he was able to give me more information on the new Batman Lego I purchased for my 10 year old nephew! Thank you again for such an amazing experience at Legos in Garden City :)”
“On behalf of The Collective, we want to extend our deepest gratitude to the incredible team at Lakeshore Learning in New Hyde Park. Over the past several years, this location has consistently delivered an experience that goes far beyond customer service. It feels like genuine partnership, community, and care for the field of education.
Every single time I walk through those doors, Mary has been an absolute powerhouse of support to both myself and my team. Her professionalism, patience, product knowledge, and warm spirit are unmatched. She never simply “sells products.” She helps us think intentionally about how materials can elevate the experiences of children, classrooms, and educators alike.
The same can be said for so many others there including Narisa, Kayla, Michelle, Joy, and countless additional team members who continuously make us feel valued and welcomed. They remember our team. They ask about our families. They take the time to truly understand what we are trying to create for children and provide thoughtful insight that helps us make meaningful decisions.
As leaders in early childhood education, we know how important it is to create environments where people feel seen, supported, and inspired, and this Lakeshore team models that beautifully every single visit.
Thank you all for your consistency, kindness, and dedication to educators everywhere. Your work matters more than you know, and the impact reaches far beyond the walls of your store.”

“The Funky Monkey is more than just a toy store, it’s a trip down memory lane. At a time when so much shopping happens online, The Funky Monkey brings back the excitement of browsing shelves filled with toys, games, and surprises waiting to be discovered. The store captures the magic of childhood, creating a nostalgic experience for parents and grandparents while inspiring a new generation of kids to explore, imagine, and play.”
“We bought the Nuna Lumn from Bebeang Baby, they ship and deliver the car seat very quickly. Our kid loves the car seat, installation was easy. Highly recommend buying products from Bebeang Baby!”
