“I brought in a bunch of games to have checked out and sold. The process was very simple, but I called/emailed first of course. This place has such a nice atmosphere! Haha, it made me want to keep the games I sold! I’m a little old person now… and well, I just don’t have the time to game like I used to. So, I’m glad I got to sell the games at a fair price :) Great store and friendly staff.”
“I’ve been consigning at Kid to Kid since my daughter was a toddler. She’s now 11. The process is seamless, the service is great, and they have so many quality items (new and gently loved)! Now I shop for my niece and nephew - 3 year old twins - who live overseas. It’s also a wonderful feeling to know that the clothes your kids have outgrown are going to families at a great deal. Thank you Kid-to-Kid!”

“Just wanted to drop a note to say the employees are absolutely wonderful. We were in there this weekend on Saturday, which in hindsight was an overwhelming day to bring five little boys to look for their Christmas wish list. My nephew was not having it with the crowds and lack of nap, etc. He was just inconsolable and one of your employees, whose name I forgot to get, noticed and instead of being irritated helped deescalate the situation so that we could let the other kids finish looking around. She was so kind and gave him a little piece of Lego which was so kind and worked like magic. She really saved the outing for us and did it with such kindness rather than judgement. He felt very seen and special. Thank you so much!”
“We have become obsessed with the Toy Nest! My 3-year-old asks every day to go and it's SUCH a win for me because we have a tiny apartment, so being able to borrow toys and not have to store them in our space has been so nice!
Lisa and the rest of the staff are super friendly, helpful, and genuinely care that my daughter and I have a great experience every time.”
“The best local store! I love going there to buy my Pokémon and one piece products and accessories to play Tcg, they also have a huge selection of funko pops. I also love to spend time playing cards there, they have a lot of tournaments during the week. The workers are also really friendly!”
“The LEGO store is always a fun place to go to have fun and just look at sets. I’ve been to this store many times before, and my favorite part is the Build-Your-Own Minifigure stand they have.
This time they didn’t have many good pieces, so you gotta come in on different days to make a cool figure. LEGO sets are also a bit pricey (but they always are); 3 custom minigures were $10, basically for tiny pieces of plastic, but I love them so I got them.
It’s a pretty average LEGO store, but the employee Pablo was stand out. He’s very energetic and likes to help out and talk to the customers, and he’s great with kids. He’s the highlight of our visit.”

“Took my granddaughter here to celebrate her birthday. This is a large store and overwhelming at first. There are 2 levels. Several play areas. And lots of dolls! The restaurant and salon areas looked cool, but we're closed when we were there. We will definitely go back to experience those. Employees were friendly and helpful, but gave us plenty of space to enjoy the experience.”
“Very nice and friendly toy shop, with a large selection. I always thought it was really nice to see the children's reactions in front of the store when they saw the panda blowing bubbles.”
“A shoutout for the curbside service. We were going to a birthday party, but my kid fell asleep in the car. I called the store. They helped pick the toy, gift wrapped it, and brought it to my car. All done within 10 minutes.We also visit frequently when my kid is awake to pick up birthday presents. The store has great toy selections covering a wide age range.”
“What a wonderful independent toy store! Tons of fun and educational options for kids. The store owner graciously wrapped two presents for me and they looked great. Very impressed, will come back.”
“We have now built 3 bears in the past month on two separate occasions (grand parent birthday and overnight stuffies foe the kids for their 1st sleep over with grandma). The stuffies are so soft and they were great at the store helping us through the process!”
“The staff made my niece's experience amazing today. The store felt extremely inviting. I couldn't have been more pleased with the customer service and the multitude of stuffed animal selection. Will definitely be a return customer and will be telling all of my friends and family to come check out that store.
A+++++++++++ Rating”
“Lil Waffle said "if they just stayed put at the register..." As if they don't have two floors of toys to stock and clean up after your poorly supervised children. You just want this small business with 4 rooms, 2 floors, and 3 exits to sit at the register and wait on you? Then when you leave, they can just spend the whole night doing everything else required to run a business. Even Walmart cannot stand by their 45 registers waiting for you, Walmart makes you check out yourself and then audits your work ethic on the way out. Idiot.”
“Kids had fun. Though we did forget the birth certificates after we made them on the tablets and no one reminded or handed them to us after we made them. Not sure if we were supposed to grab them from somewhere.”
“The staff is consistently helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable, the storefront and game room are pleasant and comfortable, and the product selection is excellent—the RPG selection going well beyond the typical D&D-5e-only is a great feature.”
“Nice collection of better toys. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. Free wrapping of even difficult items like stuffed animals. Easy access to parking, very safe area.”
“It was really impressed with the atmosphere of this store. I ended up buying 3 DnD books worth about $150. I heard that they're one of the oldest game/hobby stores in the country.”
“We were shopping for new shoes for my very picky 8yo. Elba measured his feet, listened to what his favorite colors were, brought out multiple shoes, and was very patient with him. She was terrific!”
“No one harassed me when I entered the store. When I needed help, Miracle was right there…ready, willing and able. I was returning a pair of sneakers from Christmas and this was two days later. And everyone was still awesome!! They actually didn’t have the size, so Miracle found a store that did (Pentagon Mall) and gave us the name of the associate over there to ask for. We did just that, and the Pentagon Mall employees were equally as fast, friendly and helpful! Thank you Journey! I’m coming back!”
“Absolutely gorgeous children’s clothes! The store is always very well put together and clean and tidy whenever we come. Probably the best place to get children’s clothes in the galleria. The store is never too busy but the staff is always kind and helpful. Perfect place to pick up a baby shower gift!”
“Ahmed, is absolutely amazing with customer service. He took the time to show my father, the correct cable and ear AirPods for his phone. he is an asset to your company.”
“Marcus, Antoinette, and Soyombo are very friendly and have not only exceptional customer service skills but also great recommendations. They quickly solved my complex exchange and provided great information about the Switch 2. More importantly, I really enjoy that this location began selling retro games. As long as there are retro games and good service/recommendations, I will continue to be a regular here.”
“The lady that helped me yesterday was great I had her piece both my sons and my daughters ears. I tried to call the store this morning to find out what we can do because one of my daughters earrings already fell out when she was sleeping I have never had that happen before and can't get ahold of anyone in the store. I think the price we are paying the earrings as piercing earrings should not just come out.”
“I am a Popmart purist because there are way too many scammers out there but it was really hard to pass up the Stitch Hacipupu I discovered in the store earlier this evening. I knew they were difficult to find-even from resellers-and the price of $130 wasn’t too bad.
When I was checking out I asked if I could return it if it doesn’t authenticate and was told no, which I wasn’t too happy about. I bought it anyway because fake or not my daughter LOVES Stitch, and I’m so happy I took the risk!! They gave me the shrink wrapped box and when I scanned it after purchase, it was authentic! My daughter took it out of the box the second we got home and he’s perfect ?. Everything he’s supposed to come with was in the box and he’s in perfect condition. I could not be happier!
A note about the prices: there is obviously an upcharge over retail for the items, which is a small price to pay to ensure that they are authentic. I’ve gone to mall stores in other states and they unapologetically charge $100 for a Lububu regardless of series. I won’t buy over retail something I can get relatively easily on my own and I have good luck with Labubus, but I was impressed that they were charging 20-40 dollars less for Labubus than I’ve seen charged in other places.
(Pictures are from a Google search to show the product I am referring to. As I said, he came out of the box as soon as we walked in the door and his costume immediately came off ??♀️?? so I didn’t bother taking a picture of the one we actually got, but I promise he’s just as perfect!)”
