“They were amazing everything was instock and they had needs and dumplings an we could get any amount we want!!! ᰔ🤩they also showed the difference of a fake Vs REAL”
“First time being to this place, my sister and mother are the ones that told me about it and for the first time me being there it was really nice the associates talk to you. Make sure that you understood what was happening and it felt like I was back at uptown cheapskate with the selling process of the clothes and then getting a email or text message letting you know processing is done and I will definitely come back because I did find some cute clothes for my son.”
“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.”
“Staff are friendly, accommodating, helpful. The store layout makes the shopping experience feel almost like going through an antique store. Good mix of modern and classic games.”
“Visited today to check out the new world cup sets and Karen helped me throughout. She was very sweet and helpful! This is why the Tyson’s one is my favorite lego store!!!”
“Wonderful place to check out toys. Wonderful and friendly staff. The place is clean and unbelievably organized. Every detail is thought of. Great place to take young kids.”
“Came in around closing time and expected grumpy sales staff. They were friendly and positive and bought more because of their great attitude. Had a great selection to choose from in stock.”

“Lego keeps improving and staying relevant by adding so many different types of sets for all ages. I feel like it’s the one thing that has continued to evolve and grow along my daughters. It’s a must see store when we visit Westfield Montgomery.”
“Trading in my old phone for an upgrade at Verizon next door, my eight-year-old daughter convinced me to pop in beforehand. It's a large, charming toy store with lots of toys, books, and games for kids of all ages. My daughter loved the corner of stuffed animals and the squooshy toys.”
“My husband and I took our daughter to celebrate her first birthday around noon. The staff (wish I got their names) were truly amazing, positive, and fun! We got the birthday bear bundle for $35 which was sweet. I really want to shoutout the staff that were amazing and helpful . Thank you”
“We love our neighborhood toy store, Doodlehopper. They have an amazingly curated inventory packed into a charming, engaging space. And it is the best place to go for birthday party gifts--with gift wrapping included!”
“We love this toy store and visited frequently when our child was young. They carry toys mainly for younger children, though they also have a lot of fun games for families and adults. It's a very small shop but well-stocked from floor to ceiling, and over time we got to know Charlie pretty well. We still go back whenever we need to buy presents for younger children or for charity toy drives. We would much rather support a place like this than Amazon or big box stores, and Charlie has a loyal clientele. Their hours can be erratic, so it's best to call ahead to make sure they're open. Highly recommended!”
“Well stocked toy store in McLean with parking available. They have everything from soup to nuts and the puzzle selection is excellent- the staff is very helpful and knowledgeable, especially Katrina. They also wrap presents for free!”
“Great A/C spacious play space and friendly staff.
Update 4/24: Henry handled a large buy for me and was incredibly polite as well as knowledgeable. Treated me with extreme professionalism along with setting expectations and time constraints”
“We stopped by today for the first time in years when we were in the area. It was absolutely fantastic, with loads of things even for tweens! We will make the drive for future visits for sure!”
“Yesterday was my birthday and my girlfriend took me here.
Had no idea what I was doing but knew I wanted some pokemon cards.
Minnie (I’m so sorry I don’t know how to spell his name) spent about 30 minutes helping us and chatting with us. He was so kind and really just elevated the experience. Thank you for helping make a birthday great!”
“My almost 2 year old daughter had a wonderful time creating her bunny here. The staff were very friendly and included my daughter in the entire customizing process. We were greeted upon arriving and had help the entire time we were in the store.”
“I've visited the store all year and love their sales.
They do a lot of BOGO 50% Retiring, BOGO 50% Almost Everything, Friends & Family 20%, and Gifts with purchase sales.
My son age 5 years old absolutely adores all the bugs and mothman Squishables. The employees are also great! One employee I think his name is Momo he's absolutely funny and gets me to laugh when I visit. He's a great addition to the team and helped me with the standard Tarantula Squishable!”
“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!”

“Mind Games says that it is the creative shop for minds at play. In some areas they are highly successful. They have the largest and most diverse collection of jigsaw puzzles. I have a friend who loves jigsaw puzzles and she would thoroughly enjoy the store. I also really liked their sword collection. They had a beautiful collection of swords hanging near the main desk. There were a few cute animated toys, such as a small race course near the front entrance of the store. I did feel it was really small, even for my young grandson. I was fascinated by this toy bird that continued to fly circles around the ceiling near the entrance. Service was great. I was offered help as soon as I entered the store. They were very nice. I didn't ask any prices, so I can't really speak to the cost value. I would call this a niche store. It is for people who have an interest or niche that they are in search of. I am still wondering about that bird flying overhead. Pretty cool toy.”
“10/14/23While shopping at Fair Oaks Mall,One of the first things I saw was a soft furry fox that had me at hello. These stuffed animals were on sale for $21.99. If I bought one, you get the next one at half price. I ended up buying a Tanjaro: Drangon Slayer Plush Doll for a friend of the family. I just looked at my receipt and my fox (Who's name is Celeste Colgate Fox) is labeled as a Red Panda). Okay, my black and red fox is a panda. Cool beans.Either way, Colgate is happier being in our home, than by herself. I carried Colgate around the store while my wife was shopping. When she and her friend were ready to leave, it was clear I was going to by Colgate.Guess my wife turned me on to stuffies. I now own three. Two from Build A Bear and one from Go Calender. Speaking of which, we do need a new calendar, but it will have to be one we both like. I did not care for the NFL calendars I saw. The ones I saw were not my team.I am glad we stopped by this store. We will have to do it again.”
“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!”
“I went in today and was helped by the sweetest associate named Eric he was so nice and friendly. He also helped my brother in law who has autism and was so friendly!!! everyone if u go here ask for eric he’s the G.O.A.T.”
“I wanna thank Dee for being so exceptional!!! I enjoyed the experience and look forward to coming back! She made my ear piercing experience easy. She was patient with me and took her time to calm me down. I was terrified, but we both laughed it off. As always, she was very witty and comical. I will definitely be back for my third one.”
“Went with my wife just to look. Found something we loved but it was HUGE. Erin, the associate, scoured every nook and cranny to find us every size available. Made my wife's night.”
