I just adore this children's toy shop. Located on Broadway in Downtown Fort Wayne, this is the…read moreperfect place to pick up items for the little ones in your life. You can't miss it since it's painted in bright colors. My nieces were visiting and I wanted to get a few things for them to play with at my house. I found a few cute books, stickers, and coloring books. There was so much to look at and items for all ages. The proprietor is incredibly kind. The second floor is dedicated to events. My only complaint is that the parking lot behind the Hopscotch House is dedicated to another business, so you'll need to park on the street. Although, there are plenty of signs that warn you about where you can and cannot park, so it makes finding a spot much easier.

A fun place to actually hold and try toys! Support local business. I have always enjoyed investing…read morein toys to be handed down to future generations. If you don't have ideas, Hopscotch will inspire you, go and browse!

I was also told there was 1 dollar for each foot of bulk you gave them, I had nearly ten feet in bulk and the cashier gave me $6. Poor Poor Poor, do NOT recommend.

Believe it or not I spent $3000 here and all of my cards were fake. Not every card that you buy…read morehere is fake but if you get an exclusive or rare box just be certain it's fake these guys are nothing but money hungry scammers I recommend crafty coins they actually care about the quality and their customer infinite TCG doesn't even let you buy large amounts of rare items literal penny pinchers. It's an absolute shame because Cameron was an actual good employee now realizing that he's been selling me fake cards hurts. I even watch them reject a child's fake Pokémon card and then turn around and sell me fake Pokémon cards. If you want to know how I know that they are fake it's because I rip them and they are just stickers fucking stickers. I should've known because the older cards are not that shiny or glittery, be safe out there card collectors I don't know about magic or Yu-Gi-Oh but I would not trust them at all. I'll leave one of my fake Pikachu's in the description the card doesn't rip all the way because it has a sticker on it.

Amazing deals, and fun place to check out and get some early Christmas shopping done. As in any store, you just need to know pricing on items, and what your looking for, especially nowadays. Overall, grateful I had a chance to stop by this past Saturday October 19, 2024. From toys, books, housewares, health & beauty, Christmas, Halloween seasonal, something for everyone. Be sure to check this place out, as locals know, its only open for a short period of time. So if your in from out of town visiting, like I was its worth the experience. Loved the kindness, helpfulness of all staff that I had the pleasure to speak with and ask questions. Interesting tip: The nice lady at the door, where you walk in, and provide you with a clean cart, and entry drawing mentioned; how Darlington does warehouse shopping throughout the year, prior to open this location.

I like Darlington for the cool things that you find and the price is great. However, last year they…read moredid away with most of the toys and only had Melissa and Dough toys which I did not buy. But being able to buy their toys like slime and odd things was great. Now, I usually only go once or twice a year. But before last year when they only had a large selection of Melissa and Dough toys I only went once last year. Not as fun as it has been in the past.

The store is what would happen if Michael's/Joanne fabrics had a child with five and below along with Dollar General. The store contains a grocery section, a craft section, a general, good section, HomeGoods, etc. Although the prices seem low, this would match the lack of namebrand products. The staff was friendly though. I'm not sure what niche this store is catering to.

I had the pleasure of stopping by Fancy & Staple the other day!…read moreThis is the most organized and quaint shop I've seen in a while. It's very eclectic and spacious. The staff member I encountered was both gracious and courteous. They carry a wide range of merchandise with no particular rhyme or reason, but it all flows, seamlessly. I loved the energy and vibe of the store. There is street parking on either side of the street. I purchased a tshirt on this visit and declared I'd be back to look around and shop again. Perhaps the most notable thing about the boutique store, there is a food pantry donation center located just outside the front entrance. Stop in, if you can, and bring a canned good or 2 if you can spare it.
