“Super friendly staff, great selection, community oriented, im proud to support!
Just walk down the path.
We bough cat and panda stickers, a small panda toy, color and then fold origami paper, colorful painting glow in the dark make your own bracelet kit. All for a birthday gift. Fairly affordable.”
“Absolutely one of my favorite places. Downstairs is a wonderful toy store with each aisle crammed full of unique toys that you will not find elsewhere easily. Upstairs is a full on model railroad store. Has some great layouts to meander around, but also carries everything imaginable for trains and layouts. There really is so much to see. The staff is always helpful and super friendly. My children all love going there. On the visit the other day we didn't tell our 8 year old where we were going. When we pulled up you would have thought we were at a theme park giving away free ice cream and puppies. Just a great place all around. Update: still legit the best toy store ever!”
“Had to hunt it down in such a large mall but found it. It had a few Botanicals that I didn't see in my other store. People all helpful. Left with a new one for my collection.”
“This store is such a gem and a great place to visit with kids! It is very hands on. It was super fun making our own tin. The staff were very friendly, helpful and great with kids. They also have lots of cool kits to buy and would make great gifts. Prices are reasonable.”
“Shopped here during small business Saturday and would recommend. They have a great selection of toys and I loved that they had a little play castle area in the back where my daughter could be entertained. They also included complimentary gift wrapping - SUCH a nice touch!!!”
“This store, while mainly providing Comics also stock plenty of hobby models and kits including DnD kits, Army painter Paints, Blockeez figures, and even a wide selection Gundam (Gunpla) kits and action bases. Sadly they don't have tools or other paints but their selection of kits definitely makes this place worth visiting. They probably have the most RG (Real Grade) and HG (High Grade) kits out of any other hobby store in the area. They don't seem to have 40k kits but there are other stores nearby to make up for a lack of 40k and tools. Overall, a store worth checking out for comics and gunpla-esque kits.”
“I recently purchased a birthday gift from Ali’s Wagon. Not only did they wrap it beautifully and ship it the day after I placed my order, but they also included the message I requested on the card. Going ABOVE AND BEYOND is their standard! This is why I continue shopping at Ali’s Wagon, even after moving away from Philly. Simply the best!”
“super cute little place. the staff was very nice and they had a bunch of blind boxes :3. they were much cheaper here than back home. i paid about $26-28 per box :)”
“A wonderful store with top quality secondhand baby and toddler items. All the best brands. So many great finds! Clothes, toys and baby gear. Lovely and helpful staff too!”

“I had an amazing experience at this location. Kevin had exceptional customer service. He welcomed customers with a smile, care, and joy. This location exemplifies the base for customer service! Kudos to the team!”
“Trenate and Hunter were incredibly special and sweet. Trenate was very friendly, kind, and upbeat, making the experience truly fantastic. Additionally, Trenate was very witty and funny.”
“I've been going to Lucky Duck Toys ever since I was maybe 4 years old. My grandma used to take me all the time to get birthday gifts for my cousins. They have an insane selection of nearly every kind of toy, stuffed animals, calico critters, etc. I used to go here often to get Needoh squishies before people online started buying all of them from the website, (😭) but I've now started going to get Smiskis for my collection. The workers are incredibly sweet and give as much info on restocks as they can, the little playing area in the back of the store is cute too if you need your kids out of the way while shopping. This is kind of weird but it also smells really good kind of like new books.”
“Fantastic shop! Simply share the age and personality of the child/parents for whom you are shopping and within minutes the shop keeper will have a selection of perfect gifts!”
“Dustin is extremely knowledgeable and invested in the love of the game with this store. The walls are lined with comics and funko pops upon funko pops sold at market value. Hope to visit again in the near future.”
“Kevin and the other store associate were amazing! Really patient with us and I enjoyed being able to hold the products on our registry. Using the weighted baby in the baby carrier was particularly cool!”

“Party Center is a great one-stop shop with a wide variety of party supplies for any occasion. From decorations to themed accessories, they have just about everything you could need. I did find the prices to be a bit on the higher side, but considering the selection and convenience, it made sense. Overall, I was satisfied with my experience and would return when planning another event.”

“Be careful going to 5 below it's cheap for a reason because you can spend a million bucks in here. I spent 400.00in here the other day. They have a lil bit of everything and for five bucks you need it all and you buy it all. Cashiers are friendly and security is to. Safe area with plenty of parking”
“I have taken all of my kids to build the bears over the years multiple times. I just took my daughter for her first experience and I’m so glad Andy was there. He has a ton of enthusiasm and positive energy. My daughter enjoyed spending the time we did with him so grateful we will be back because of Andy.”
“Lakeshore Learning in King of Prussia is such a fun spot if you’re into educational toys, teaching supplies, or just cool learning games for kids. The store is bright, organized, and packed with hands-on materials, from classroom decor and book bins to STEM kits, manipulatives, and arts and crafts stuff that actually feels durable and well made.
It’s a great place for teachers, homeschool families, or parents who want more than just basic toys, since a lot of the products are designed to build real skills while still feeling like play. Staff are usually helpful if you’re trying to find age-appropriate items or need ideas for a classroom or gift. Prices are a bit higher than big-box stores, but the quality and selection make it worth the trip, especially if you catch a sale or need something specific for school or learning at home.”
“We try to prioritize pre-loved/second-hand toys for our kiddo, but when going to children’s birthday parties where we know the parents would prefer new, we always pick up a gift here. We love supporting small, local businesses. They have an awesome selection and we usually have to drag our kiddo out because she wants to play with everything, ha. The store is organized very well and the employees are very warm and helpful. Lastly, they have a really cool option to purchase a gift bag for a few dollars (can’t remember the exact cost) and the full amount goes to a local animal nonprofit. We always choose that option.”
“Omg, where do I begin? My shopping experience at "Kids Sweet Repeats" was one of the most pleasant, helpful and inviting customer service moments. Not only was the customer service OUTSTANDING, but as was the product quality, selection and reasonable prices. I purchased like-new quality brands, such as North Face, Ralph Lauren, Gymboree, Gap and Abercrombie. You can tell the owners take pride in their product selection and business. I can't wait to return! The way my glambabies are growing I'll be returning within weeks. Thank you Bo & Chris for turning my day into a consignment extravaganza!SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESSES EVERYONE!”
“Very big B&N compared to Cherry Hill. Security guard by the main entrance and escalators. Huge selection of books and other items available. I'd definitely go here to get my books.”

“HIGHLY recommended! Stopped by on Tuesday. Dominique greeted me immediately in a friendly and professional way. I needed a little assistance in picking a fragrance. She was terrific and I left with the perfect gift!”

“Great idea for a LEGO® vending machine. They offer LEGO® kits for kids of all ages from Minecraft® to Star Wars ® to Lion King® to cars to a New York City scene. Pricey, but worth it for a long layover or a delay.”
“Workers need better training, tired of being discriminated against when I walk in and I'm going to start calling the manger and giving names because I spend money, I'm afraid to steal. Okay so what I take my time and look at everything smell everything I wanna get the right shit stop making people feel uncomfortable to shop!!!!”
“Love being greeted at the door. Loved the music and vibe while shopping.Not too fond of the self- checkout! Found out if you began to pay for your items and come up short, there's no way to refund your money or remove an item. Five Below needs to add this process to their self checkouts or bring back the registers operated by people!”
“Out of town but needed a personalized gift basket for quick delivery to Devon. Mia worked with me over the phone and made a beautiful basket and delivered it. My very sick friend was delighted with the items and so am I! My go to gift and basket store from now on!”
“Love this toy store, which is so much more than just toys. Curated and superior books, wooden and sustainability sourced games, and absolutely the best stuffed animals and soft baby gifts. My kids are teens now and we still find something every time we visit (hello cool paper sculpture kits, origami, lamps,
and temporary tatoos!). Last but not least, the Staff is super friendly and helpful. Hope they get more Professor Astrocat books soon!”
