If you or your kids love Lego you're familiar with the Lego stores and if you live in the DMV…read moreyou're lucky because you have a bunch in driving distance. But the pentagon city store is the best one. Outside of the typical displays and Lego sets for sale they have activities like a wheel you spin that lands on a picture of a monster to build and all the pieces for all the monsters are in the bin next to the wheel. Or build your own, Lego is all about creativity. The staff are super fun to talk to and you can tell they love their jobs. In addition, their pick a brick wall is the most thoughtfully procured I've ever seen. If the blizzard has you stuck inside going crazy with the kids, head over to the mall and between the Lego store the food court and just walking around you can put together a really easy fun day.

We have run our outdoor movie festival for 8 years and working with GameTruck Howard County was a definite pleasure. Our movie festival attendees were thrilled with the video game truck and foam party. The attendants supplied by GameTruck managed everything, from the lines to play video games in the truck, to making sure every last child was safe and enjoying the foam party. Having never hosted either a video game truck or foam party before, Erik and Dana were incredibly receptive and quick to answer our questions. Highly recommend as a GREAT and trusted entertainment business in the Maryland/DMV area!

I usually prefer TJ Maxx over Marshalls, so it pains me a little to say this, but the TJ Maxx in…read morethe Pentagon City area has been pretty underwhelming compared to the nearby Marshalls. Since I now work in Arlington, I visit both stores often, hoping to score the kinds of finds TJ Maxx is usually known for. Unfortunately, I haven't had much luck at this location. I still pop in from time to time out of habit and optimism, but more often than not, I leave empty-handed. Selection & Finds: The selection here feels hit or miss, leaning more toward miss lately. There's a sign for a "luxury" section, which initially caught my attention, but the items there tend to lack the quality you'd expect from something labeled luxury. It feels more like a concept than a well-executed section, which is disappointing when you're hoping to discover standout pieces. Store Experience: One of the biggest challenges with this location is how messy it can be. Racks often feel overcrowded, and items are frequently out of place, which makes browsing feel more like a chore than a fun treasure hunt. Compared to the Marshalls nearby, this store feels noticeably less organized and harder to shop. Service: The associates have been fine overall, but the general store upkeep makes the experience feel a bit rushed and less enjoyable than it should be. Pricing: The prices here can be decent, and I know TJ Maxx is known for good deals, but lately I've noticed more items that feel overpriced for what they are. Sometimes the discounts don't feel as significant as expected, especially when the quality doesn't quite match the price point. It makes it a little harder to justify purchases, especially when I'm not finding standout items to begin with. Overall, I still love TJ Maxx as a brand, but this particular location hasn't lived up to the standard I'm used to. If you're shopping in the Pentagon City area, you may have better luck at the nearby Marshalls.
