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.

Overall solid recommendation for a toy store

I've seen figures here I hadn't ever seen in the wild, Galactus in box anyone? They carry many of the brands you could want; including Superhero stuff, Transformers, Star Wars, Lego, G.I. Joe, and Wrestling figures. I was happy to pay the low end of list price, and great costs for some loose figures. The owner even knocked a few bucks off, good guy. My only complaint, as a big fatty with bad knees, the store is literally filled with toys, boxes with toys, and plastic shelves with toys. A price I'm willing to pay for the selection they had.

Shopping for a very specific anime gift for a teen friend I knew I went to the right place when Mr. Wayne himself gave me a very detailed tour of his wares. This world today is far more complex than it was back in my Batman and Robin days, so I was very happy to get the assistance. They have every price point and virtually every character. While it is packed with product, it is the kind of store that every corner you look at you find something fun. Great service, good prices and a very broad assortment= hours of fun every visit!

We can't say enough great things about KidSnips, especially Rashall. She's been cutting our son…read moreBraven's hair for the past two years and recently started with our younger son, Otto, right around his first birthday--and she has been nothing short of amazing. Rashall is incredible with kids. Not once have either of our boys cried in her chair. She keeps them entertained, works efficiently, and somehow delivers a consistently great cut while doing it. What we really appreciate is how communicative she is--she talks us through what she's doing, explains what she thinks will work best, and makes us feel totally comfortable every step of the way. We genuinely love coming here. And honestly... if I had hair on my head, I'd let Rashall cut it without hesitation. Highly, highly recommend.

Great spot because parents can grab a coffee while the kids stay busy. I would even recommend this if you are meeting up with someone who doesn't have kids and your little one is tagging along.

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.

They did have the specific children's book I was looking for, However, the customer service person was on the phone for an incredibly long time. I don't mind that it was taking so long ~ but maybe acknowledge that you realize I am standing there or ask the person on the phone to hold on while you verbally acknowledge my presence. Bright and open. Oh, and the door that opens into the mall is actually the back of the store.

You must make a coffee or bakery purchase any order to get this deal. This location in Oakbrook offers a wide selection of books, magazines, games, music, and gifts, you name it. A cafe that serves coffee, tea, bakery items and snacks. This bookstore is spacious. I like that you can pick out a book and find a quiet place to read. Very organized and easy to browse around and locate your favorite topic sections. There are so many book titles throughout the store. A nice place to come and pick out a good book or grab a magazine and sit back and enjoy the quiet and chill atmosphere. If you have any questions there are plenty of workers walking around willing to help. Even though it was busy and alot of people walking around. The atmosphere was still calm and peaceful. Go online and sign up for upcoming events and book club meetings.

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!
