Parking can be a bit of a Hassle if you come to the downtown during their busy season at random parts of the day. We found a few things that we liked here. Staff here was friendly and knowledgeable. Plenty of families were in the store too. Featured a plethora of kids games, family games, hobby games, plush animals and unique toys and gifts I've never seen at a store before. Overall solid recommendation for a toy store

From educational toys to board games and more. They also have blind boxes for those who are into those. I ended up getting a magnetic train for my little one to learn how to spell his name. Each piece was $7/each but I've seen some worth way more elsewhere. We bought a few things and some of them we were sticker shocked by but overall super happy to support a local business rather than a big box store. Plus our little man seems thrilled with all of his toys!

I brought it and it is one of my favorites The prices are reasonable for its quality.

The staff know the stock and are extremely helpful and efficient. If you need just the right thing, but are not sure of the name or want to know "Is there even a toy that does THAT?" check with LE. Here is my story: We do not even live in the area, but this Learning Express location just helped us coach a relative through the purchase of a birthday present. The relatives were not sure what to get, were short on time, but sincerely wanted to give something that would be "just right." I called around, and the Learning Express employee was helpful and knowledgeable... Yay! I was able to direct our friends there, and they were able to quickly pick out something fun without feeling like they totally pawned off the gift purchase on moi. Everyone is happy! (and that 5 year old will be much happier to get something from Learning Express than a some new undies and a polo shirt... C'mon you have all been there! So, let's hear it.. three cheers for Learning Express, Glen Ellyn!

They have a wide variety of items from fine jewelry to the most eclectic goods. From the outside you wouldn't expect it to be as large as it is, but it does span through multiple rooms. Many areas/rooms have themes like holiday, clearance, collectibles, household goods. It is very well organized. Store is pretty strict on "no large bag/backpack" policy but all employees were very friendly and respectful carrying it out. This place is not at all overpriced and you can certainly find some affordable gems without looking too hard.

I got a scar like a river by Lisa graff and even though it is not my type of book I would consider it my fault as it says the genre on the paper in front. I read young adult books and they had a good selection. The only problem I have with this bookstore is some of the prices. Some stuff was a great deal but I ended up buying a book mark for 5.00$. But I also with they added one more shelf for Y/A books. I think this is a great little book shops and this is a great place to hangout with friends. Also this place had kind workers and good service.

This place features all sorts of books from fiction, children's books, cook books, greeting cards, etc. Selection at the store is really small so don't expect too much but the array of books that feature here is plentiful. The store also offers plenty of events in the library. Staff here was friendly too. Book prices were modest. Overall average book store experience.

There were lots of board and card games of all sorts, as well as dice, miniatures and paints, and a gaming area for community games. I appreciate that the rules for the space are clearly posted on the wall behind the register, so the expectation for everyone is established (I would imagine it makes it easier for staff to enforce as well, because they can just refer to the sign). The clerk was very friendly and gave me some info about a game I was interested in (a collaborative version of "The Fox in the Forest"; my fiance and I love the original version), which I ended up purchasing! Glad to support a local business! I'll be back for more games.

Every time I've ever stopped in, I've been treated kindly & with respect by the staff working there - which is *not* a given when you're a solo guy with tattoos shopping alone, trust & believe that. A really helpful & nice gentleman named Jackson showed me the "buy 1, get one 1 free" deal they were running for some of their paints. He made the process of shopping for/choosing different colors or different formulas really easy, & honored the deal fairly! He was helpful & cool. Anyone who is into wargaming, table top miniatures etc KNOWS that any kind of buy 1, get 1 deal on high end paints like Citadel, Vallejo or Army Painter is an insanely good value. Also, there has always been some kind of community gaming event happening whenever I've stopped in; which tells me it's *clearly* an important hub for the TCG/TWG community. As a hobbyist, grateful to have the store around. (PS, if you stock the new GW Aeldari kits for Lhykhis, Baharroth, or Swooping Hawks, I'd buy them)

The only thing I ultimately couldn't get here was a female head with glasses but found one online. You can also sell your used Lego sets here or buy them.
