Hobby Express is a family-owned and -operated store that sells toys and hobby supplies…read more My husband and I have shopped here a couple of times over the years. This store has a large selection of fun merchandise for kids and adults, including model cars, model trains, games, puzzles, craft supplies, science kits, and other toys. My husband was looking for two particular products, and at this store, he found one of the products, instructional cards for the game Warhammer. He said that the price was comparable to what he would pay if he were to buy the product from an online retailer. The cashiers were very friendly. They had greeted us when we first entered the store. Later when we were checking out, the employee apologized for making us wait for a couple of seconds. She thanked us for our purchase and told us to have a good day.

There was a great variety (and great price) of acrylic paints which I needed for my project. Whenever I had any questions about locating a product, one of the employee would walk me over to the aisle and show me the item rather then just pointing me in the direction! There was a long line when went to go check out and right away they called another cashier and she helped us right away! TIP: If you download the Micheals app there are some pretty good coupons! We got 50% off of one regular priced item!

I have visited this store dozens of times over the years. And until I started visiting and using…read morethe Michaels in Monaca, I wasn't away of how different store could be. See the review re Monaca. I thought I might use both stores for my wall art projects. So I tried this one for the framing shop. Radically different level of friendliness and help. Indeed, I almost paid double for nearly identical frames until I spotted the alternative on the wall... the Monaca shop would have helped me understand the sales and what, if any, differences in the frames might have been. The store framing area is fine by all standards. But it is NOT nearly as good as the Monaca store. Most merchandise is the same, and in a few areas, this store has a wider selection. But for me, customer service is first and foremost. Lesson learned: not all same name places are the same. Staffing, hiring, training, store working culture -- all can make radical differences in customer experience. f8 and be there.

A lot of people will describe this place as a UFO, I want to disagree here with that. It's more along the lines of a military fighter plane. That's not an arrow on their sign, that's the plane. I do see how people say UFO, looking like it's out of 'Flight of the Navigator' and all. When you finally pull in and park you are immediately greeted with toys. Out front of the store they have a few outdoor games set up for use. This theme continues inside and you find out why once you enter. Upon entry to the store you are told by the employees (mostly high schoolers or college kids) that you are welcomed to play with anything that is already opened. There are a lot of things opened, so you could honestly spend your whole day here discovering the toys. I was under the assumption when I arrived here that this place held old school or vintage toys. That is my fault, I thought that this was a throwback store, but by visiting here I now know differently. There are toys in here that are nostalgia inducing, but a lot of what you see is cutting edge and up to date toys. Every single type of toy you can imagine is available. Puzzles, boardgames, sports equipment and much more can be found in here. I had high hopes at finding something for upcoming birthdays, but actually ended up getting myself a boardgame and a magnet to add to my collection. Was it worth the stop, yes. Is it worth all the hype and a trip out of your way, not really.

Or a bomb shelter? I'm not sure I ever figured that out. But inside, it's a kids dream. My twins ran all over, played make believe and rode tricycles through the aisles. The service was friendly and so helpful. All of the staff went out of their way to show off the toys and give suggestions on what would work best for my kids. The value here is also great. The kids managed to twist my arm and after I said they could get just one toy, they managed to convince me to get a bunch for each of them. Am I a complete pushover parent? You better believe it! Overall, this is a place you must visit if you're in this part of Pennsylvania with kids. It was a major highlight of our road trip.
