I am surprised to say that I did not know this location has been here for quite a few years now but that is because I usually go to the location at the Pembroke Lakes mall. However, I think now I will go out of my way to come here because it is so much better! The location has a lot more room and you are able to walk freely around this place without having a fear of bumping into anything and knocking stuff over, especially since they have so many little and large Knick knacks that seem fragile or are pricey. It is a very well stocked location and it seems that they even have stuff that I have never heard of or seen at a couple other hallmark locations that I have been too. The staff is also very friendly and will help assist you with anything you may have whether it be finding an ornament or a specific holiday card, or even helping you order something from online to be shipped to the store. I will be back here again really soon, without a doubt!

I went to Crazy for Costumes to rent an outfit, but before I could even step inside, I was accosted…read moreby a tiny gatekeeper of an elderly woman stationed like a bouncer at the door. She grilled me, my wife, and my daughter as if we were trying to enter a secret society. I told her I was just looking for some costume makeup, maybe some wigs and a bit of spirit gum, hoping for quality supplies. But when I said I wanted to browse, she shot back with all the warmth of a DMV clerk, "We only rent costumes." Her attitude was so off-putting that we turned around and left before the interrogation could continue. As we drove past the store afterward, we saw her turning away more would-be customers, apparently gatekeeping is her full-time gig.

I haven't visited Michael's in a long time - not since my kids were in elementary school needing certain items for school projects. The store was large, clean, and well-organized. Hold up! Michael's sells helium balloons now?! Wow, this place has evolved into more than just a DIY craft store. With my stomach grumbling, I didn't feel like walking aisle by aisle looking for the spray bottle. I approached a store employee and asked where I could find small spray bottles. The employee checked two aisles, then asked another employee for assistance. I ended up finding a small 2-pack spray bottle for $4.99. The employee came with a spray bottle a bit bigger than what I found, but there was no sticker price on it. I thanked the employee for his help and took both items to checkout for a price check. A female employee provided customer service near the self-checkout. Although the 2-pack spray bottles were on sale online, Michael's does not honor online prices in-store. The employee did a price check on the bigger spray bottle, which was $3 less than the smaller ones. I made my payment on the large self-checkout screen. I didn't notice it then, but closely looking at the picture I took, the screen at self-checkout not only has a camera locked on your face, but also on the items you're scanning.

The girl on the phone offered to hold it at the register for me. Perfect. Later I came to pick up my item. Damn this place is noisy! From the kids running around to the talking decorations. I don't know how people work here. I waited in line which did take a little longer than I'd like concerning I was second in line. I got to the register, told her I had an item on hold, she quickly found it and rang me up. The price was different than on their website so I asked if they price matched. She wasn't sure so she gave me 20 percent off anyway. Even better deal. I paid and off to my party I went! Typically I'm not a fan of these types of stores, I prefer a homemade costume but if I ever need anything for Halloween again I will come here for sure!

We came here for the Harry Potter butterbeer cart event. We got here exactly at 12:00 (the event…read morewas from 12-2) and we got a Lego brick as our token to enter the store. When it was almost our time to enter we were told they only had sets for the kids, although the event said 6+ older. We were waiting in the hallway next to the store, that had no AC. A gentleman continued to check on us and apologized for the heat, he was the only nice employee at the store. I understand this was a hectic event, but once we entered we weren't greeted and they looked miserable to be there. We went inside with my niece. When we got our bag with the legos inside, we were missing 8 golden pieces. When we asked for the missing pieces they had ran out and only had black pieces, which contradicts the design of the set we were building. We ended up having to buy the 8 missing pieces online in order to correctly complete the butterbeer cart. If you're going to host an event, make sure you have enough pieces or better yet coordinate the event better. I'm not sure I would attend another event at this store, as it was supposed to be free and we ended up having to buy the pieces.

They have a doll adoption and also an indoor play area. They are a Christian store and play gospel music while you shop. I think that since they should be appealing to kids, they should play children's music and be a little more reasonable with the pricing. I can make an entire tub of slime for less than $10 at home. Also, a lot of their games are almost $5 more than I would pay to get next day delivery with amazon prime. For example, a $13.99 board game on Amazon costs $19.99 here. Nice to have in the area but I am not sure if I will patronize them due to the cost​ difference between them and other places I can entertain my little people.

I've been to a handful of Spirit's but this one located on the outskirts of Sawgrass Mall has to be one of the best. Unfortunately they didn't have a banner up so it was hard to find from the road though. **THIS LOCATION IS JUST SOUTHEAST OF BAHAMA BREEZE, SHARING THE SAME PLAZA AS TIRE KINGDOM & ABC SPIRITS** They were stocked with all of the awesome decorations/animatronics/shirts that usually sell out as soon as they're put on the shelves. Also, this store was very big compared to others I've been to & it was kept surprisingly organized. Additionally, they had plenty of staff who was helpful when I had some questions about their store policies. The only issue was they were unaware of the 10% discount that you could receive if you donated to the "Spirit of Children Foundation" which isn't necessarily their fault so much as it is their management teams. This was handled accordingly; they honored it once all was said & done. I could walk around the store for hours interacting with the animatronics. Over the years they've really fine-tuned the display set ups. It's awesome seeing so many people having fun & even getting scared by some of the animatronics! The prices aren't really that high & they have a ton of exclusive merchandise. Be sure to check your items work before leaving the store though because I've found their quality control isn't the greatest. I will continue shopping at Spirit for years to come.

I can spend hours in a costume shop! Unfortunately,  this location didn't do it for me.
