Such a cool place. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area. I felt like a little kid playing with everything inside. The staff is extremely nice, too!

Fun place to take a kid to. Beyond the obviously unique building look, a decent amount of the toys are available for kids to try out. There is also a selection of older kid/adult hobby items available as well. The worst part of the place is getting the kid to pick something with all the options they have.
