“love seeing a local business with such a large collection of supplies! the staff went above and beyond helping me find what I was looking for while creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere! highly recommend”
“The staff here is always super sweet - The last time I visited, the person at the register overheard my friend and I talking about Quagsire. They asked if we were fans and went to the back to bring out a Quagsire plush that wasn’t on display yet. This made my day and I really appreciate the staff here always going the extra mile :D cutest selection of trinkets and collectibles eva!!”
“I have gone here for last 26 years. Always holds up in quality and service. It’s definitely worth the trip to multnomah village. Nice selection of legos, play mobile, trains, dolls, it feels good being in here and kid friendly”
“Folks like Black Wagon is what makes Portland great. Hopefully our mayor can get crime, homelessness and anti-biz policies figured out so this wonderful business can keep going strong.”
“Extremely helpful staff, a store full of parts products and ideas for the hobbyist. From radio control boats cars and planes. Model kits. Model trains all sizes. Slot car tracks also in stock. And it's a local business.”
“We love Hammer & Jacks! We adore Jillian. She has been a huge part of our lives ever since she welcomed us in for a new parent support group back in 2018. Not only was her vision of becoming a community hub and staple something that I could get behind as a FTM but over the years all of her support in helping to get my littles through their developmental milestones with thoughtful toy and activity recommendations have been invaluable!She also was LIFESAVER during the pandemic, doing toy and balloon deliveries and truly bringing love and light into our home. But since the new location opened with all the fun activities (our favorites being Toddler Art and Books & Bubbles) and playscape, our littlest human has grown to wake up Wednesday mornings to ask for "toy store & bagels"-- his idea of the perfect day.If you are looking for a wealth of knowledge on toy recommendations and fun ways to reimagine play... shop local and stop in and visit Hammer & Jacks!”
“I do love going to this location. The staff is always super helpful. I came to get a gift for my sister and ended up getting a couple things for myself also. Of course, I also filled a box from the pick a brick wall. Such a great value when you pack everything in tightly.”
“I’ve been consigning and purchasing at the children’s consignment store for several years now. They offer fair prices when consigning and their inventory is well stocked and quality. I went in yesterday to consign my children’s clothing and popped over to their new women’s boutique. What a delightful experience. They have nothing but quality clothing and accessories and the styles were on trend. I don’t usually buy myself things but I couldn’t help myself. I can’t wait to go back!”

“Wow, we are so thrilled with our new play structure! Dave was so helpful designing an amazingly fun and unique structure in our tight space. His son, Ben, installed everything in a few days and was able to integrate it with an existing patio so the kids can access it from multiple directions. My girls couldn’t be happier and we have many years of fun memories to make. Thank you!”
“A delight. I trust the staff's recommendations; they’re so knowledgeable about the material, and it’s curated beautifully. Get a punch card: you’ll be coming back.”

“A Beaverton landmark. This is such great place to get comic books. The toy selection is definitely geared towards adults, with an impressive selection of hot toys. The toys are somewhat pricey, so kids will struggle to find something to suit their tastes. Glad to find a place that carries Heroclix.”
“I needed a last minute gift for a baby girl and the employees at Grasshopper were super-friendly and helped me pick and match a cute outfit! Thank you Grasshopper.”
“If you want your kids to enjoy being kids again, this is the place for your 2023 Christmas season! If you can't shop in person order online, don't miss out this year! Make it easy as this is a one stop shop to get all your gift ideas!”
“We went in and saw a cute Axolotl Zombie. It had an eyeball shirt on. Asked Droux about availability, and they went through the trouble of giving us the display shirt. Later Droux sold us the display so that we did not have to wait in line. Thank you Droux!”
“We recently had a birthday party here for my son and it was great. The staff was friendly provided lego building for the kids and also gave my son a birthday lego gift. These guys were just awesome. Thank you for making it fun and easy for us.”
“Lots of candies, sodas and silly knick knacks. Has various vintage devices like the photo booth and fortune teller. Gives off a retro futurism vibe. Stop by if you ever see it.”
“This is one of my favorite stores in the mall. Never had customer service like Serenity's. She was kind and knowledgeable on Pusheen which I love love love. She was super helpful and helped us out greatly!”

“MudPuddles Toys and Books—formerly Child's Play—is a great place to get a gift for kids of any age. They have a large variety of toys to choose from. Legos, plushies, puppets, little toys here and there, board games, etc.I would recommend checking it out.”
“Attended the Trailblazers holiday party the other night and OMSI didn't disappoint. The live animal exhibit was great. Although the little turtle said he wanted to come home with me,I had to turn him down.”
“Great selection of high quality kid stuff. The owner and staff are awesome to talk to. I look forward to doing all of my kid shopping for holidays here, as this will be the year that I am sticking to my plan to shop only local and second hand for the holidays.”
“Exactly as advertised and more fun than I expected:) I'm 49 years old and my mom (72yrs) wanted to take me, my twin sister, her sister (71yrs) and childhood friend (72yrs) for a light-hearted bonding experience. Most of the theme specific clothes (i.e. Star Trek, Doctor Who, etc) r only available online which was a little disappointing but it also forced us to be creative to create our own unique outfits. The store can be overwhelming because everything is so cute and it's hard to pick the one critter or teddy bear that's going to be your buddy. However, just letting your inner-kid out and immersing yourself in the experience was fun. The staff were friendly, helpful, and didn't make us feel weird for being there. They explained each step and gave as much or as little guidance as requested. It's not a low cost excursion but it feels like u r getting a well-made unique product while creating a treasured memory. I will probably never do again for myself but would take young family members in the future:)”
“This is THEEE best place for vintage toys. The owner is knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The more you look around the more you'll see, so make sure to visit each case more than once. Buy local from a dedicated collector.”
“Awesome little store. More Pop Funko’s than you could ever need and a bunch of other cool trinkets. Staff were very friendly and helpful, and I got a good deal on a pretty rare collectible. Thanks guys!”
“We bought a Gear Bot for our school. Our Gear Bot remote control did not work, so we called the Lake Oswego store to ask what we should do with the toy that wasn't working. The person on the phone treated us great. She was kind and very helpful. We took it back to the store and they helped us exchange it right away. Thank you!”
