With 3 kiddos in the tween age group, this is a convenient option for them to spend their allowance without having to drive 30 minutes away. The problem is that the store staff is pretty unwelcoming towards kids. We've been a pretty good customer over the course of many visits. The treatment has been pretty hit or miss from dirty looks thrown at the kids for picking up items they intend to buy to feeling like we are mildly tolerated at best. This store seems to prefer the young adult demographic.

The owner was really friendly, nice, and talkative, and you could tell he was happy to have us in the store. Definitely will be back for more events - it's a small, cozy space, and the people who come are awesome. Do be warned that finding parking is a bit difficult - but just read the signs and be patient and careful and you'll be fine.

It's always fully stocked and spotless whenever I pop in. It really has a cozy, inviting vibe to it. The bottom level even has a cafe with tables and chairs which was nice to see folks sitting catching up with a friend, and others had their laptop open while sipping a coffee solo. We love to see it.

This is the location that has rides, mini golf, arcade, pony rides, batting cages, etc! Staff was friendly and helpful. The grounds are absolutely beautiful with trees and flowers surrounding you! The homemade ice cream is delicious! Very big portions, so beware! I found the value to be fine. It's like spending the day at an amusement park, but with much more character and charm. They do sell bundles for a price discount on the attractions, so that's helpful on your pocketbook! Additionally, I understand it closes (except their general store) after Columbus Day for the cold season. Will definitely be returning and trying some food items next time!

Unfortunately, COVID had a bit of an impact on that business. It sounded like they are trying to work out a new contract to get that going again.

BUYER BEWARE: We went inside this store and was not greeted by the 3-4 people crowding behind the…read moreregister, no other customer was inside the store. I believe they were training a new person and as we walked by we were still not greeted (it did not bother us, unfortunately we are quite used to this in these suburban towns). We took our time browsing the store as they had a selection of baby related items towards the very back of the store that we found cute yet (albeit very expensive). We spent about 10 mins. As we were leaving we see one of the (presumably new) employee with green hair walk towards the section we were in. He went past us and awkwardly followed us without uttering a word, made us feel like shoplifters. We were deeply offended and and felt disgusted as we exited the store. Apparently we are not the only ones who experienced this, I attached a screenshot of a 56 year old woman who was also followed. This store really needs to reduce their hubris, there is literally nothing of great value to steal from in this store. An apology to this review would be nice, however we do not plan on returning ever and the lack of accountability based on other replies does not provide us with much hope. TLDR; we went in this store and without any verbal interaction, was followed by an awkward employee. We felt offended and disgusted. It's 2024 and I would hate to imagine what the chain of events would be, if we were of a darker skin color.
