Other than that issue and no bathroom it's clean and not a bad place to wait for your train.

Gold's Gym on Burnet is a solid gym, but honestly, it's pretty mid…read more The gym itself is nice, there's a good amount of equipment, and everything is generally clean and well maintained. I also like the layout and the overall vibe. That said, for a Gold's Gym, I expected a little more. It can get pretty crowded, and some of the equipment can be hard to get on during peak hours. Nothing bad about the gym at all, it's a perfectly good place to work out. I just don't think it lives up to the hype compared to some of the other gyms in Austin. Overall, decent gym, just nothing that blew me away.

This place is really cool. It's bright, full of claw machines, and prizes. You can lose track of time enjoying trying to get the plushie of your choice. On multiple occasions we asked for help from one of the employees with regards to the different games. They kindly helped us every time we asked. When you are done playing if you have a lot of plushies they give you an opportunity to trade them in for the plushie of your choice. Overall it was a cool place to visit. The atmosphere was fun, the service is great, and there are a wide variety of plushies to try to win.

The service was phenomenal and made me feel like I was shopping with someone trying to make the moment count then the dollar. All In all it is boutique pricing on some items but comparable with any baby store.

We visited for the play session (not the toy rental membership) and unfortunately left…read moredisappointed. The biggest issue is that many of the nicest toys are displayed right where children can see them, but they're only available to members for rental and aren't allowed to be played with. Our son is almost four, and he spent much of the visit asking to play with those toys. We repeatedly had to tell him no, while the toys that were actually available to play with were often very worn, incomplete, or missing essential pieces. For example, the train set didn't have enough track pieces to build a complete layout, and there were two dollhouses (a fire station and a police station) that looked like they would have been great for imaginative play, but they were missing the figures and accessories that make them usable. A fire station without firefighters or a police station without people isn't very engaging. The entire play area felt tired and overdue for an update. Many of the toys, furniture, and chairs showed significant wear. Looking through older reviews and photos from several years ago, it seems this may have once been a much nicer space, but it doesn't appear to have been refreshed or maintained to that same standard. I think this might still be enjoyable for toddlers under about two years old, but for preschoolers, the lack of complete, engaging toys was frustrating. If the rental-only toys were kept in a separate area instead of being visible but off-limits, it would probably make for a much better experience for the children who come just to play. We really wanted to like it, but we won't be returning.

Something felt very nostalgic about it and the place gave me the warm and fuzzies like I was kid again. There were so many different rooms and activity zones that kept little ones busy and excited the whole time. Every corner had something new to explore, from play areas where kids can stimulate their imagination, to indoor slides, hands on toys, and creative play stations. It really felt like a kid's dreamland. There is also an outdoor space for the kids to play in, which was a nice bonus, and plenty of variety so children can move from one activity to the next without getting bored. It worked especially well for a birthday party since a large group of kids could all stay entertained at the same time without stepping on each other's fun. They have a designated space where parties can eat food and cake, which makes celebrating easy and organized. They had little seats for the kids to sit in, which can accommodate roughly 20-25 kids. My only wish is that we could have stayed longer. The play sessions were capped at about two hours per session and the time went by fast because the kids were having such a great time. Overall, a good experience and a great spot for younger children to play and celebrate. I would definitely return again and recommend for a kids birthday if you want to keep kids entertained. My kids loved the place.

If you have champagne tastes and a beer pocketbook, Uptown Cheapskate may be the place for you…read more Founded in 2009 in Salt Lake City, Uptown Cheapskate has 160+ stores across 29 states of which 44 are located in Texas. Their target audience is teens and young adults. Being a resident thrifter and consignment store connoisseur, my friends recommended I try Uptown Cheapskate located on Burnet Road in Austin, TX. The store is well-organized with placards delineating key sections of the store. Uptown Cheapskate carries vintage clothing, men and women's clothing and a variety of shoes as well as accessories. The store does not appear to be in "junk" mode as the pieces appear clean and presentable. Racks are sorted by type and style. While there was a Versace blouse displayed on the wall, I did not find any other upscale pieces. The brands tended to be more mainstream and not distinctly upscale designers. You can also sell clothes at Uptown Cheapskate. Bring in items that are in good condition and trending, and they will give you cash on the spot or a somewhat more in store credit. This is a great option for clothes sitting in your closet...waiting and waiting...for you to release them. Smile. Prices were reasonable, yet not deeply discounted. However, you could not tell this by the large meandering queue at the cash register. I picked up a couple of items to purchase and was then totally discouraged by the length of the queue, so I put my items back. Definitely will consider returning to Uptown Cheapskate at non-peak hours...

TLDR: Fantastic toy shop with a huge and carefully curated selection. Wide variety of price points…read moreand fun for all ages. A few play areas plus a coffee shop. This toy store is the bee's knees! I thought I was taking my kids to a place for them to have fun but I ended up loving it as well. Aside from constantly running around to put back whatever my 2-year-old pulled off the shelf, I had a great time. Here's why this store rocks: SELECTION/CURATION: Fantastic selection. The store is pretty large and full of so many different things. There are your usual suspects i.e. dolls and dinosaurs but you can also find more unexpected items like a great selection of kites or a big shelf of finger puppets. The items seem very carefully curated. I noticed that a lot of their toys are from established quality brands or from overseas. Bought a little wooden magnetic train that was made in Ukraine. PRICE POINT: There are things at various price points. $100+ and under $1. So don't worry about your kids begging for a toy because there's a huge shelf of small toys (plastic bugs, balls, miniatures, and so much more) that are anywhere from .50 to $10. PLAY AREAS: There are several small play areas for kids including one that's more geared toward babies and toddlers. Aside from that, the whole store is a play area. Just do your best to clean up after them, obviously. BATHROOMS: Great bathroom situation. There are gendered bathrooms plus an all-gender bathroom. Each bathroom has an awesome diaper changing station with... drum roll please... FREE DIAPERS AND WIPES. I've never seen that before. So awesome. ALL AGES FUN: Honestly, this store is fun for all ages. There is a large rack of wacky sunglasses and a section for whimsical hats (obsessed with the Medusa hat). There are more grown-up toys like board games and puzzles (Rubik's cube and much more). There's a cabinet of collectible Matryoshka dolls. There are fun nostalgic items like a Sea-Monkeys kit. So much fun stuff to explore. COFFEE SHOP: There is a coffee shop attached to the store. It's super cute and filled with art from local artists for sale. Always awesome when you can get a coffee to give you an energy boost so you can be better at chasing after your kid. There are also two large chess sets available for use. Ultimately, this place is fantastic. I plan on bringing my family here anytime we need a gift for a birthday party. Amazon gets enough of my money already -- I'd be glad to support this wonderful shop and show my kids an awesome time while we're at it.
