“This place needs a five star review I went to my local game store for my son and I wanted to get him a game it was sonic boom shattered crystal for 3Ds and when I gave it to him he loved it and I am so thankful thankful for GameStop to show me this awesome game for my son.”
“Spent a special day for me at my favorite store. Always looking for interesting new books, maybe a new jigsaw puzzle, books and toys for grandkids, cards, record albums, gifts, movies and LOTS of games for all ages. Can spend hours there and never get bored!!! Love this store!!”
“I love it here, I can literally spend so many hours just browsing around the store! I’m a big sentimental stationery girlie and this little shop is literal heaven! Every lap I make around the store I find something new that I want to take home. I’ve been coming here once a week for the past three weeks lol love that staff as well! Everyone is so sweet, kind, and pleasant to talk to. <3”

“You can't put a price on memories and Magical Child is still a must-stop for our family despite the fact none of us are children anymore! After 30 years, I love how I can still count on the thoughtful curation of eco-friendly products and organic textiles in a local boutique (I am a tactile shopper).
Besides, where else in an era of surcharges for bags, gift-wrapping, no cash accepted, and detached electronic check-out kiosks can you find concierge personal shoppers to help with that special gift for the little person in your life?
Their flexibility in store policy for new moms was much appreciated when a friend needed to exchange a new-born outfit that didn't fit anymore. So happy they have stayed magical!!”

“Vast selections of anything you would like!

“I think this is place is fairly new in the mall, but I love it! All of the cutesy little kawaii and anime-esque goodies for the house. Fairly reasonable prices too, probably less than you would spend on the stuff on amazon. Nice atmosphere to browse in.”
“There are not many independent toy stores left but Geppetto’s really throws back to the bygone era of my childhood. Great selection of really neat toys. They have everything from big brands like Lego and Mattel products, to more unique and mindful and specialized toys that help develop the mind. Very spendy. Nice people!”
“Came to this store because no one showed up to open the San Marcos location on Grand. They were supposed to open at 11am and after waiting until 1135am I gave up. When I arrived at this location I was pretty irritated because I needed to fix an issue with my sons pro account (caused by the San Marcos location). Cory was FANTASTIC! Not only did she resolve the issue entirely with a smile on her face she did it all while balancing busy phone lines, other customer complaints and multiple customers needing assistance in store. What a great employee who deserves recognition from GameStop leadership. Thank you for turning my experience around entirely!”
“This Five Below location is great except they've had the back part of the store blocked off for quite a while since November of 2022 since the store opened and the location is almost always out of stock of things and has the same item selection but other than that I really love Five Below you can find things under 5 dollars and upper and service her is great except they close the self checkouts and people have to assist you checking out which I don't understand why if it's self-checkout!”
“The employees are always so sweet to me when I come in, never failing to offer to look in the back for kirby trinkets for me! I always enjoy coming in for the kirby items :))”
“I love this place! Great selection of comics, and if they don't have what you're looking for they'll order it for you. It's also a great place to hang out and play games, and they have sodas and such to buy for cheap if you're hanging there all day!”
