For starters, it's not your typical toy store. It's more thoughtful. Still fun, but a little on the quirky and educational side at times. Kids love it and so do adults. If you've never been I highly suggest a visit.

Me and my family have spent THOUSANDS of…read moredollars on presents, jelly cats, etc etc. today me and my mom went in to buy 2 jelly cats so to give them good business by all means. And a woman with tattoos and just not the kind of woman that should be working in a CHILDS STORE. Was overly rude about not touching some stupid thing that they did not have in a case or any side anywhere. She said it once, then again. We said we heard her and processed to put it back and she said " No like actually please fucking don't" with children and elderly people right near us. VERY disrespectful and overly rude, We still bought something but put a jelly cat back and went to GLEE store up the road where there's much nicer staff that dress and look appropriate to be working in a CHILDRENS STORE. will definitely not be shopping there again after years of business for them.

A large and clean game store for all your play needs…read more Atomic Empire is a game store for all physical gamers, be it trading cards, board games, wargames, or pen and paper games. They have a selection of games to try out and plenty of sitting space for you and your friends to test out and have a good time. They offer a wide variety of singles on their website. By buying them and picking it up in store, you save on shipping, giving them the selection of an online retailer with lower costs. Their prices are most comparable to TCGPlayer, minus delivery fees. Atomic Empire also carries a limited selection of comics and graphic novels, a nice to have for sure. They also sell plenty of gaming accessories from dice to paint to playmates to deck boxes. Unlike many game stores I've been to, Atomic Empire is pristine. High ceilings and proper ventilation provides constant fresh air. Bright lights and clean floors provides a welcoming atmosphere. It's a pleasure to take your time and browse a store that's so well maintained. Atomic Empire is excellent to game in or simply hang out at.

We are not gamers but they are and they frequent this place quite often. If you can't find it here --- you probably don't need it !!!

It's more high-end than department stores but you're probably getting better quality. We've popped in a few times when in the neighborhood but weren't necessarily shopping for any particular item. Still, we prefer to shop local when we can so if we need any baby items, we'll consider Tiny.

I'd recommend this shop for baby gifts, fancy baby clothes, wooden and unique can't find just anywhere toddler toys, and party supplies. The staff are also very kind and helpful. *I do want to note it is quite a "progressive" shop... you won't find Curious George books here but there are tons of "modern", i have two moms, kind of stories.

Well... here is mines:…read more Parking: 4 Location: 5 Customer Service: 2 Facility decor/cleanliness: 5 One of the cleanest toy stores I've ever been in... but then again it was small in size. There wasn't much to choose from but they did have some neat pieces. We were never greeted by an employee... we shopped around and none of the workers asked us if we needed help. They were all young kids and they were huddled up behind the counter (horse playing and flirting is what i saw). After about 5 minutes of walking around looking we left. Nice store, its in one of the areas HOTTEST malls! 2 Stars for Toy Mania!

I was shopping with two friends in the mall when the toy store caught our eyes. We went in not…read morereally searching for anything and found puzzles among many strange toys. The place is definitely more targeted towards kids rather than 3 friends in their early 20s. Even so, you might find something cool. While my friends checked out their puzzle selection, I had my eyes set on their watercolor painting supplies. After pondering about it for a bit, I got the the watercolor set ($14) that comes with paint, paintbrushes, and a watercolor pad to paint on. I loved the purchase and I think it's a great beginner kit! Also, there is complimentary gift wrap with any purchase by the cashier register.

They have party supplies, school supplies, teachers' educational posters and materials, tons and tons of educational toys and crafts (I saw a "build your own projector kit" that looked interesting), and even a second floor with more toys, musical instruments, and a whole wall of pre-k through gradeschool workbooks. You don't have to be an educator to shop there, but if you are one, you get 10% off, and they host an event in August with more discounts and giveaways. It's like a mix of Party City, Target, the Scrap Exchange, and a toy store. If you have a kid or work with kids, this is the place to be - literally can't wait to take mine there for a visit and buy too many stickers.

There was quite a lengthy line to get in (so buy your tix in advance), and I thought the $10 ticket price high for what's on offer (one room halved into comics and illustrators, with occasional lectures scheduled). That said, there seemed to be everything from affordable 50-cent books on up to autographed limited edition prints of The Avengers. And from the artists, you could purchase finished work or commission illustrations of your-superhero-self or ideas. Affordably, too! I know this is put on by a small local comic book store, but there's definitely room to grow and improve... the costume contest was heavily delayed beyond the posted times, and had no clear direction (when to line up, where to line up), plus no real opportunity for spectators to photograph (other than the group photo, which frankly, had so many people, it was hard to even tell what you're looking at). More programming. And maybe more diversity of attractions. Are figurines and special effects prosthetics not part of the whole comics experience?
