As someone with AuDHD, it did become very overstimulating about an hour into the very large warehouse of all sorts of fascinating, unique, confusing, and quirky objects. A ridiculous amount of entertainment simply roaming about. I went on an early Saturday afternoon and there was a sizable crowd browsing about. They had a fantastic sale going on which likely was a factor for the crowd. Highly recommend a trip out to the unusual but brilliant store! The employees are helpful, knowledgeable, and appear super interested in eclectic place where they work.

While we were there, we noticed a line forming nearby and decided to check it out. To our surprise (and my granddaughter's absolute excitement), it was HobbyTown doing a NeeDoh drop at 10am! The line kept growing and at 28 degrees we were freezing, but there was no way we were giving up our spot. Thankfully, the owner opened a little early and everything was very well organized. They limited purchases to two per person, and since we were third in line, we had time to pick exactly what we wanted. Such kind owners and a great experience overall. We'll definitely be back to explore the rest of the store.

I would love to actually buy some of the older models they carry but the price tag would say $30 and he will charge like $300 because someone listed it for that. Plus the store is filthy and very unorganized. You're better off going to Amazon.

They have models from 50 years ago in the original boxes. Lots of hotrods, aircraft, ships, military and everything in between. They have Lionel and Marx trains and parts, in cabinets, display cases, bins, and boxes, unseen in the markets for generations. They have a good number of completed models from generations ago with a few that I believe are for sale. It's dusty. It's a little damp in the air. You're going to have to do a little digging. This isn't one of the flashy, running after every trend to sell you the latest junk. This is the old school hobbyist's store looking for something from our childhood...

In fact, they have a large variety of used HO scale buildings and train cars for sale more than any hobby shop I have been too.

I took my 9 year old nephew who is currently in a wheelchair for something fun to do during spring break. The lady at the counter (Sarah) who is also the manager is extremely friendly and helpful she explained how the rental process works and said it would be 30-40 min till it would be ready But we were able to look at the track, While we were there we talked to Matt? i believe who was just as helpful and friendly with everything. We left and came back a short time later to try his luck on the course. He did pretty well, but eventually the 1 R/C car broke, the lady was fine about it and said not to worry, we went back and watched the others race. We came back into the showroom to find the truck fixed and charged she asked if he was ready to go back out. so he did, a little while later the truck broke again but Kyle was quick to help fix the truck and get him back going, he played abit longer till the battery started to die and we called it a day. He had a ton of fun and is wanting a R/C car of his own now! Thanks again for the great day.
