“What a fantastic place to shop and play games. You are able to try the games for free in their rental section. Great selection of games. Hope to see more table top and painting supplies.”

“Walked in here on a whim during a trip to the neighborhood, found a puppet I wanted since I was a kid.
A puppet, yeah like an actual puppet, you stick your hand in it and everything. It was a one time production item to celebrate the release of a JRPG on the PS1 back in 1998
A limited release puppet, for a random game from 30 years ago and they bad it, they had it for a price that wasn't even bad. I nearly had a heart attack.
I grew up in poverty so I could barely afford games, let alone any merchandise so I never thought I'd ever see this stupid puppet in person, let alone own one but yeah, now he's on my shelf and I feel incredibly grateful I happened to just come across it
Good game store, excellent collection of stuff without bullsh** prices, much love”

“I LOVE this store. The owners are so sweet and kind! When I accidentally lost a few of my balloons and went back, they refilled and gave me new ones and didn’t even charge me for it! The shop has a wide assortment of party supplies and has a great selection of balloons. Truly such a happy store. Support small businesses like these - they deserve everything. :)”

“Absolutely fabulous store with staff that truly goes above and beyond! I was shopping with my toddler nephew when he began to break down into a fit. Thankfully, one of your associates, Sophie, was present and helped quell the disturbance. She then proceeded to provide me with great advice as to how to calm him down in future situations. She is so good with children! She then gave me some amazing toy recommendations to ensure he develops to his full potential. Truly amazing! I will definitely be returning to this location and hopefully will be able to see Sophie again! 5/5 stars”

“I've been playing at this Uncle's location for a few years, and it's an awesome place for gaming and finding out about new games.

The variety ensures there's something for every taste, and as a parent, I appreciate finding stylish options that won't break the bank for those one-time wears.”
“I had an absolutely fantastic first experience with this business. I brought in a collection of action figures that I was wanting to sell, and I've never had an easier or friendlier time visiting hobby and toy shops. I was helped by Jeff, who was incredibly friendly and was great to talk with while we looked through everything. As I looked around the shop, I was blown away by how much they had and how incredible the prices were. I can't recommend this store enough to any fellow collectors.”

“Fun place to find different types of toys. Sure you can scour amazon but seeing everything in person and a packed variety of puzzles, games, toys, Legos, stuffies, makes you think about what you dont see when scouring the Internet for toys.”
“This is an outstanding store for finding toys for kids of all ages and abilities, engaging books, and sensory integrative products to promote learning. Perhaps because I’m a retired occupational therapist, I was especially impressed by the variety of items for sensory integration. Pediatric OTs and special ed teachers, in particular, would love this store, which has something for everyone. If I was a kid, this would be one of my favorite stores because I love to learn while having fun.
A bonus is complimentary gift wrapping. Each of my purchases were beautifully wrapped. Free of charge! Can’t beat that.
It’s located in The Landing in Renton. The staff are helpful and friendly. Teachers get a discount. I highly recommend Learning Express.”

“I visited here for a gift for my kids while visiting Seattle, and I was very pleased with the options. The shop owner greeted me as I walked in and was very helpful in helping me to find a great toddler shirt for my son. I was surprised how hard it was to find a toddler shirt in the area, but this store had both a decent variety as well as cute options. I left very pleased with my purchase and my son wears his Seattle shirt as often as he can! I highly recommend this store.”
“Absolutely love this bookstore!! The kids area is especially great - my kids could play here forever and love discovering new books.

The cookbook area is my personal favorite but there is always something new to find here.”
