We always come in for promos or clearances or with a digital coupon and rarely pay regular prices here as there is never a hurry for us for their various products. And that's whether it's frames, photo albums, artificial flowers, kids' arts and crafts items, or Christmas stuff, etc. Just due to nostalgia, I often like to check what they may have in stock as far as Revell toy models for cars, planes, ships etc. The toy model inventory these days in any crafts store is almost down to nothing as it is an outdated and pretty expensive hobby for what it is anymore but still a reminder of my good 'ol childhood days. It's self checkout here these days and like in a Walgreens or ice cream shop, the customers can come and go here in big clusters. Staffers have always been helpful when needed. Thumbs up!

Upon arrival, I was greeted by Christine, who was rude right from the start. When I asked her where to pick up my order, she pointed to an area in a condescending manner, as if implying I didn't know how to read. Her tone was dismissive, making the interaction quite unpleasant. I hope management addresses this, as customer service should always be a priority.

It's a little out of the way, and it's a bit of a jumble. Most of these supplies look as though they sat in a warehouse for a long time. You have to be willing to look and search. I'm pretty craft-compulsive, and I bought nothing. Nothing. There were some (longtime?) customers in the store so they must know what they want. I was able to go down aisles, wander down corridors freely and no one bothered me. I suppose if I asked for help I would have gotten it. Sorry but this was not my vibe.

Don't expect this to be like Hello Tokyo type prices, as it's really not meant to be a dollar store. Lots of selection and unique styled items. There is only one in person register for checkout, but the store is small enough that's all they need right now.

Prices were reasonable, considering these are imported goods. Staff is very kind and friendly, and they allow you to peruse at your heart's leisure. Definitely a fun place to check out to add to your collection or to purchase as cute gifts. +kind & friendly staff +located inside H Mart

The window given was April 13-16 and it was needed April 18. I kept receiving updates saying that it was now expected April 17, which would have been fine. Needless to say, it did not arrive April 17 so I had to buy a new gift. I was happy to keep the globe but thought it unreasonable to pay the $15. Bestpysanky was completely unsympathetic and said the shipping charge was not their responsibility. I would still like to receive my credit and will update this review if I do.

The owner, Robin, and one of the other employees were fantastic at leading a group of 21 first grade girls through painting a mermaid tail (there were so many choices for the canvas painting - my daughter happened to choose this one). They can do them more or less complex based on the age group of the party. Robin was truly fantastic to work with. She took care of everything, including ordering pizzas from elsewhere in the mall. I brought the paper goods and cupcakes and everything else was handled. We were in a party room in the back that is utilitarian but also decorated. I definitely appreciated that there were separate tables for the art and the eating! I was perfectly happy to not be out in the front of the store with the general public. And the price was totally reasonable given everything that they did for us. Would definitely host another party here! We've also come on a random day just to do a walk in ceramic painting, which was also great. Lots of selections at all sorts of different price points. You can also do walk in canvas painting.

We eventually ended up forgoing this year because she's still so young she wouldn't fully appreciate the experience, but plan on going for some Mommy and me time. The staff that I was in touch with while planning the event were all so helpful, responsive, and friendly. Even when we decided to pass on holding the party there, after we had filled out the form and not yet put in the deposit, they were so understanding. They get high ratings, they're located conveniently in a mall where if you have youngers you can go to the playgrounds in the mall, and if you have olders, they can walk around and do a little independent shopping. Looking forward to visiting soon!

This place is a hoot!  I dropped in here after a nearby lunch just to see what this place was like…read moreafter seeing a review, and having never been in their predecessor Chicago store of some 25 years on the northwest side of Chicago.  This store has been in Uptown Park Ridge for only about a year now, and for being on a busy commercial strip, they keep a low and quiet profile and are kind of easy to pass by and skip, because that's what I did for a year apparently! I was going to rate the store 4 stars, but I gotta give it 5 just because it's really a one of a kind shop.  They have all kinds of eclectic, random, fun, goofy, and also educational stuff and gadgets.  It's all supposed to have a bias towards science and education though.  Random things like military helmets, plastic wheels of various sizes, telescopes, microscopes, old typewriters, a Big Foot crossing sign, beakers and flasks, science kits, goofy models, toys, and trinklets, rubber mice, plastic ants for your next picnic, and whatever.  It's a great store for getting that unique geeky gift for someone, and also a place where inquisitive kids and adults alike can putz around and learn and laugh as well. They have their own convenient parking lot.  Their only other stores are in spread-out Geneva IL and Milwaukee WI.  Their prices ranged from cheap to modest from what I saw. The staff seems appropriately on the geeky side, but also friendly.  I met staffer Deborah and she showed me the signs depicting the company's history (since 1937!), and also informed me that coincidentally just two days ago they were featured on WGN-TV's Around Town morning show.  Here is the clip: https://wgntv.com/video/around-town-american-science-and-surplus/8385863/ Deborah told me after this TV clip, there was a big demand for their Bubble Blaster, which she happily demonstrated for me, and they sold out and had to restock their supply!  They also occasionally have free science party nights (next one is Feb 24 from 6:30 - 9pm) and those sound like a hoot for the kiddos.  I didn't buy anything this time, but do plan on bringing the grand-darlings back to putz around and probably walk away with who knows what next time lol.
