    I was so happy with our little visit! It makes me happy that the staff makes this experience fun for both kids and adults regardless of age! We needed a moment to feel special like kids again, and it was just perfect. There are strict and well enforced safety protocols in place to keep everyone safe, but it didn't take away from the experience a bit. Making a wish together, my husband and I, to put into this little stuffed lion, was a super tender moment. The staff was joyous and kind, and involved in the process. I choose a lion, and a Hufflepuff outfit for my buddy. I do wish there were more bear choices, and animal choices that were not all characters from shows and stuff. It would be cool to have more regular animals to choose from. Thanks for the fun!

    Build a bear was a great experience. My niece is ill and we wanted to give her something to hold through her treatments. Staff were awesome!

    The staff were so patient and understanding. They were very helpful and offered suggestions. We were so indecisive but they never showed frustration. This is a awesome place for a special gift. They took care of it everything and allowed us to find a quiet place to record our messages. I would most certainly do this again. My nieces were happy to get their gifts.

    Came on a Friday evening and was pleasantly surprised that the store wasn't busy. I was immediately greeted by a staff member who took me step-by-step through the process of building my very own minion. All of the accoutrements were in stock and neatly organized. The stations to set the "bear's" personality, sound, and birth certificate worked very swiftly and were intuitive. I had a great minion-bear date and would definitely recommend this location to anyone who wants a fun build a bear experience. Great staff, great store!

    Their toys are overly priced and break easily. My first time…read moreand my last time shopping here ever. I go to buy my daughter the viral squishy dumpling and as soon as she opens it and give it a squeeze, it bust open. I have bought lots of squishys over the years for my daughter for way cheaper at other stores and they are still till this day in good condition, not one has ever bust opened. The store won't do nothing for us. Says they are no longer accepting refunds for the dumplings. HINT HINT CLUE CLUE, this must be happening to several ppl but yet no warning in the store or a price drop on theses cheaply made, over priced dumplingings. They didn't bother to make it right just told me to buy another one. Warning , they don't care about the children and how they feel. EDIT*********** PS: I STAND BY WHAT I SAID. Btw my daughter actually did get a glitter one that she actually loved. So no one scamming over here. Picking a cheap toy supplier and hiking the price up but won't make it right is sad and money hungry. They could care less about kids but want to sell to them. Awful place. There are much better toy stores for way less and better quality.

    I have nothing but amazing things to say about this store! The customer service is top notch and…read morethey have a huge selection of toys and items. They go over and beyond to assist their customers which makes shopping here a phenomenal experience.

    Bad news. Stores like The Toy Shoppe are bad news. Like a kid in a candy store bad. There's a toy…read moreof some kind for every age group. Although I needed only one item and found it quickly, I spent more time perusing. What I saw was every available spot filled with toys. The manager mentioned the toy fair in a couple of weeks and after that, what little space was available now would be crammed with new things. That will be yet more bad news. Nearly everything was reasonably priced, less than in competing stores and in fact, I didn't notice a lot of duplication with things available in chain box stores. That makes The Toy Shoppe good for picking up something different. I didn't see any board games or jigsaw puzzles, unfortunately, but since I can get those anywhere, I'm okay with not finding them here. Perhaps they'll show up later. Despite escaping from The Toy Shoppe with only one item, I saw enough, like balsa planes, classic harley motorcycle models, and what looks to be the first of a train collection, to know I'll be visiting again. The Toy Shoppe, a classic mom-and-pop shop, is worth a visit when needing an escape from the madison-avenue marketing hype for toys.

We walked in and not only does the middle age creepy looking guy not look up from his computer, he doesn't even acknowledge we were there. We were looking for something particular, and didn't see it. When we asked this guy, he again did not even look up from the computer, and in a sarcastic tone filled with contempt, like we had the nerve to ask, says, "We don't carry that here, you'll have to go to a big box store!!!" So we left and as soon as we get out the store my daughter asks "did you smell his breath?" We both laughed and went to the "big box" store to get our item.

    We had a very positive and fun shopping experience at their Cary location. This store has a large…read morevariety of STEM toys, cool gift items and surprisingly pets ! The costumer service here is unmatched and the store layout is clean and engaging. We visited today just to browse for Christmas gifts. My daughter stumbled across colorful biospheres that house African Dwarf frogs. A small aquatic frog native to parts of Equatorial Africa. Each biosphere comes with 2 frogs. Jordan educated us on care instructions and we found this be a very affordable low maintenance pet for a child. These frogs are adorable in pairs ! We were informed that we receive free food within the first year of owning the frogs. The lifespan is up to 6 years. Much better than fish. We enjoyed browsing the rest of the store and I scored some personalized ornaments for our Christmas tree 3 for $10. My daughter identified a company called Dope Slime whose items are not sold everywhere. The staff was very friendly and courteous and we can't wait to come back and visit the other locations. Thanks so much Jordan for helping with our pet purchase !
