It's a fun thing to do before visiting the museum at Prairie fire around the corner. The selection of toys is really great honestly especially for being a "smaller" store. They have great quality toys, all natural materials, and well renowned brands, such as Melissa and David. The set up is really inviting and everything is very well organized and easy to find what you're looking for. The prices are what you would expect for high-quality toys made to last. If I were to have a complaint, it would just be that the majority of the staff there very much gives that "Johnson County" uptight Service. don't get me wrong, a couple of the employees were very pleasant and didn't seem put off by the presence of children. The majority of the employees though very much appeared to be auditioning for a Disney villain role minus the wardrobe.

I have been going to this toy store a lot lately since I now have my first grandson! What a great…read moreplace if you have kids!! They have almost all the toys out on tables so you can play before buy! They have great door deals every Saturday the month of December. The staff are always so friendly and you are greeted once you open the door! One of my favorite parts is they have FREE gift wrap!!! Nothing is too small or too big!! If you have kids and just need a place to "play" this little Toy Store is absolutely awesome!! i can't wait for my little guy to visit. We will definitely be going in for a little adventure!!

The kids will be lured in by the displays in the windows 10 out of 10 times, so parents, I suggest an alternate route unless you want to pick up another unicorn stuffy or a whoopee cushion. There is such a nice array of classic toys, new ones, board games, science-centric toys, books, and more. This is a go-to when we're heading to another kid's birthday party and you can always find something pretty fairly priced. They also (if I'm remembering correctly) will offer to wrap things too, so it's absolutely worth coming here vs ordering something online. Great spot, please stay open for decades to come!

Brookside Toy & Science is something of a KC icon and for good reason as it's one of very few…read morelocally owned toy stores, and they do a great job of capturing childhood magic within their compact space. If you have little kids you'll know that there just aren't as many dedicated toy stores as there were back in the 90s. I remember when I was growing up aside from places like Brookside Toy and Science, there was also Toys R Us, a few other local spots, and the really cool FAO Schwartz on the plaza. As a kid the most magical places to me were always the FAO Schwartz and the local spots like the learning tree and zoom. Nowadays I feel like we often end up either online shopping on Amazon or going to Target to find a birthday present for kid's parties. This spring I decided we were going to break that cycle and start supporting small, local businesses instead. Brookside Toy & Science was the first on my list. We visited here on my daughter's birthday and I told her she had a certain amount she could spend. In retrospect that may have been too much leeway for five year old, but she had a ball exploring, trying out some of the toys on display, and eventually landed on a robot lizard. What I like about this toy store in particular is that they really do blend toys and science. There are taxidermied animals, skulls, and other oddities on display and for sale closer to the back. This gives the store a bit of unique flair that makes it stand out. I also like that the shelves are mostly at kid height so they can explore independently, and I love that they have a huge space dedicated to kid friendly board games, which I took a mental note of for the holidays. My only disappointment was the lack of playmobil toys as my daughter has recently gotten into them and they were listed as an official retailer online. I did see a few, but it was just not very robust. I'm guessing that they aren't super popular and that's why - which I understand! Just sort of a bummer for me. Overall though this is for sure a five star spot and if you're on the hunt for a toy store this should check your boxes.

They have a wide variety of teaching supplies, learning games, and much more. They have a cute little area near the cash register for kids to play while parents shop. I felt like their schooling supplies were generally reasonable, but I think that some of their learning games are quite high priced. They do have sales like buy one get one 50% off and other sales as well as rewards program that I joined. I will definitely be going back as it's nearby and they have a pretty good selection.

When I went in, the store was not crowded and I took my time through the aisles to check out some deals. The staff was helpful and did offer some discounts after I signed up for their membership.

Customer service was fine; However, I will never sell/conduct business with Wild Child again due to the simple fact that I was unable to see or receive an itemized copy of the items I sold and the prices they were sold for/accepted for. I was told that they do not keep it in their system and they have no one way of going back. I have never worked with a consignment that did not keep records of their items/inventory sold to them regardless of the timeframe in which accepted or not accepted, which is quite baffling to me truly and to add the cherry on top, I received a total of $37 ($47 store credit) for the 22 items I sold and two of those items accepted were both from GAP, brand new, and never worn priced at $24.95 and $16.95 was quite baffling as well. The items I decided to sell today were brands like Nike and GAP that were unable to be accepted through the consignment shop which I typically do business with unfortunately, but I honestly wish I never conducted business with Wild Child nor accepted the offer as it was not a fair deal and should have just asked for the items to be returned and could have donated the items in the first place as I was going to, but you live and you learn and I definitely learned today lol. I personally wouldn't recommend this place of business when it comes to selling your items but all in all, I hope there is a family out there that will enjoy the items.
