I looked at their birthday party packages and they are definitely overpriced compared to other kid friendly places that host birthday parties. The lady with the blonde wig definitely yelled several times and yeah, the soda is served in mouthwash cups. I did see a lot of reviews about how people aren't allowed to skate fast or do tricks but I definitely watched people skate fast & do tricks which was the one thing that looked fun and fine for everyone. Again, I hope the owners care about improving the experience but it will be several years before I think about letting my kids come back. & if the owners don't care, I hope this review helps other parents make an informed choice before booking a party or event!

We were having brunch downtown and decided to see what was in the area after we ate. Googled toy…read morestore and this joint was a minute away from where we were at. Walked to this toy store and figured out that this is the sister store to Re Pop! Re Pop is a dope ass novelty store so I knew Toy Pop was going to be just as dope. Walking in, you're embraced with a ton of colors and colorful wall art. There's two little arches that you can go through. One for kids and of course a normal sized arch for everyone else! It was a fun way to get into the main store. There was so much to look at! There was a little bit of everything in this store. Stickers, candy, stuffies, Legos and other fun novelties! It was almost overwhelming. You didn't want to potentially miss anything! This store would be a great place to shop for birthdays, holidays or just because. They had so many cute and fun things at every corner! Alaster rang my purchase up today. He was so kind! And you can hear his kindness with every customer he helped. It was nice to see such great customer service! This toy store is a pretty sweet joint and I'm happy I got to check it out. If you're ever off of Main and 8th and you want to check out some fun things, make a stop into Toy Pop. It was fun to channel my inner child this beautiful Sunday afternoon.

This shopping center is a ghost town. The theater and JC Penny's are the only anchors. There is a Bronco shop, a Shoe Carnival, and a kids playdate center, but other than that it is all vacant. If you open, they will come! People around here are eager for more shopping! I'm not sure if the rent is extreme and that is what is keeping retailers out, or what, but it could easily be the next Village at Meridian! I hope to see it grow.

As a lovely parting gift, my cousin bought me a Boise High Life T-shirt there.

Yes. I have too many of them but I was in search of a particular one - Rogue One K-2SO Fall Convention from 2017. I was planning on getting on from eBay so that Alan Tudyk would autograph it when it comes to the Gem State Comic Con. Back to the 208. There were a couple of guys up front, it looks like there's vendor per carved out space offering all sorts of things ranging from silverware to those souvenir bells. The Funko Pops are the back and I have to give them credit - They are stocked and displayed per theme in an organized manner. Many of the carved out booth spaces were unattended so it was a little strange to walk into the space with no one around. We turned right at the back of the store and ended up near the computer section. I haven't seen a collection of Netbooks since those early 2000s. Command prompts, C drives, MS-DOS speak was happening in the background and all that was missing was the Leisure Suit Larry and Scuzzy Drive references. In the end, its a trip down memory lane, one person's trash is another's treasure and there's some interesting pieces here. Going back to the Funko Pop, they didn't have it. No worries, Alan Tudyk cancelled so. No harm no foul.

I ran into out by chance when I was making my way to the Youth Ranch. It was my sign to go in! The set up is very similar to the antique shops off State and the other end of Overland. Lots of different vendors with different goodies and shop set ups. It's cool that you get to go to all these little store fronts in one location. The venue is big and bright which is nice! It's nice to have such bright lighting when you're looking at items with such detail and color. It's just nice to be in a bright venue in general. I guess you can't completely say it's all antiques here. There's collectables, thrift finds and jewelry. I didn't check out some of the vendors since there were a few selling trains, sports memorabilia, Funko Pops and other things that didn't really peek my interest but is cool that it's there for you as an option. It's an everything, one stop shop location for everyone's special interests! There were still a couple vendors putting their little shops together. Some were jammed pack full of things, some had a nice amount to look at and some were pretty scarce. But if you're a looker, you might find a fun treasure there! I was on a time crunch and checked out as much as I could. There was a lot to go through. I'm looking forward to this joint to be completed with all it's vendors and products. A portion of the venue was still empty and being worked on. The prices vary depending on the vendor. Some were reasonable and some were high, to be expected. Looking forward to coming back and seeing what new things they have. Some forget to bring a sipper! Sipping on your drink while looking for treasures is the best way to spend your afternoon and I can't wait to do it soon.

Clearly looks at "listed" prices and not what things actually sell for on eBay. Sad to see dust covered items everywhere instead of things in loving homes. Horrible business. Edit: super weird of the store owner to break the law (yes changing the price AT THE REGISTER after agreeing to a price is AGAINST THE LAW) then reply snotty to this review instead of being grateful he wasn't reported. Shows exactly what kind of scummy business this is. Avoid at all costs. And saying it's priced for that area is HILARIOUS since everything in there is covered in dust- ya know not selling. Aka not priced to sell for ANY area
