“I have a Bluey loving 4 year old. There is an episode about chess so she became obsessed with learning. I have wanted to come to this store for a while, so the Bluey episode seemed to be perfect motivation to do so. When I walked in, I saw beautiful statement chess boards and fun and quirky boards and some simple elegant boards. We were able to find the perfect chess board for a 4 year old (yes it exists; magnets to hold it to the board and a foldable board game for storage). There is also a book for learning chess and a meetup once a week so she can practice (or I can so we can learn together!). I loved our visit here and recommend it for anyone looking for a chess board or to improve their game.”
“Easily the best and only place to go for action figures of any variety, very favorable prices. Not to mention the owners are best. Highly recommended, which is truly understated.”
“A big shout out to Bill from Lombard Hobbies. He converted my DC Atlas Trainman® Plus NRE Genset II Locomotive to DCC. Awesome shop with awesome people. Thank you once again Bill for your help.”
“In a world where bookstores have all but disappeared due to the digital age and competition, it is nice to see Barnes and Noble is still thriving. This location is a nice entrance into Oakbrook Mall. This location has 2 stories with a Starbucks located on the second level.”
“Ordered something from them in December. There was trouble on UPS's end, but Fair Game was incredibly helpful (FWIW I also got a great price on what I bought )”
“Nice store for all kinds of kids stuff in Lombard. Lots of Dr. Who and marvel figures and toys. Prices were decent.Not many customers even on a weekend.Staff were helpful to look and suggest items.”
“Beautiful assortment of gift items (even if you yourself are the gift recipient). Everything is nicely arranged and fun to look at. Staff is very friendly and helpful. A joy to visit!”
“Another Downers business that has changed its name since I was last in. it used to be called My Favorite Toy Store. Now, some of us might hate to admit it, but there is a little of Peter Pan in all of us. Don't be embarrassed, you will feel right at home in this store. There is a great selection of toys for all ages, actually for the ageless. Why didn't they have toys like this when I was that age? They have things to shake, ride, chew, watch, read, grow, manipulate, make, and wish you had thought of so you could be sunning on some beach somewhere instead of living the everyday grind. And.................. free gift wrap and a reward program. Did I mention that they welcome you to stay and play (oops, I meant shop) until closing time?”
“From mom and baby meet up, to story time with Elsa, to hosting/attending birthday parties, Waterlemon is the spot! It’s a super cute boutique for the kids to play but also for moms to hang out. I had my daughter’s second birthday party here and it was so easy and the staff were so helpful! I’ve bought my daughter the cutest tutus, books, and toys so if you just want to go stop in and shop, they have the cutest gift options.”
“This was one of the best experiences I had purchasing something online. The product was just as described and it shipped quickly. The best part was seeing my daughter’s face when she saw her Frozen Jeep restored to its original glory, she actually thought it was a brand new one, The decals were perfect!”
“Great experience!. Two lovely young girls helped us get my grandson his first teddy bear for his 1st birthday! They were very attentive and kind and gentle with the baby too!”
“I love everything about this place! The people, the products, and it's my go-to for every birthday party my kindergartener is invited to. Plus, for his birthday, he absolutely LOVED putting together his birthday box, making it super easy for his friends to come in and pick the perfect gift for him. They always have the perfect thing for Easter, Christmas, Halloween, you name it! I definitely recommend shopping this local, small business instead of the impersonal big box stores, or online shopping that have become the norm.”
“Our first time here, Stopped in to get a small stuffie for a small child. There were several pleasant knowledgeable salespeople working. They offered a complimentary gift wrap!”

508 Oakbrook Center, Oak Brook“I forget the name of the woman who cut my son's hair but she was an angel. My son is 2 years old and has sensory problems so getting a haircut really isn't his favorite thing. I was full of anxiety walking in not knowing what was going to happen but she was so calm and helpful. She let him hold a few cars, talked him through it, and explained all the sounds and vibrations. My son didn't scream or cry not once. Thank you so much!!”

315 N Bolingbrook Dr, Bolingbrook“This location is really nice, organized, and clean. I sold some items as well and feel they offered fair prices for the items we brought in. Also appreciate that they only took about 15 minutes to let me know what they were able to offer for the items I brought in. Will be back!”
“This is a good store to go to if you’re shopping for calendars. Make sure you go when they are heavily discounted. I went today and it was 75% off. We were able to get two calendars for $6.73. Besides calendars, they also have puzzles, board games, etc. I recommend checking them out. Just a FYI, they do open later than some of the other stores. On Sundays, they opened at noon. Service was good. It’s located close to the kiddie haircut place.”

623 E Boughton Rd, Bolingbrook“I brought my son to get his ears pierced as a birthday present and the entire experience has been PHENOMENAL! Store Manager Lin was very informative and attentive, answering all of our questions regarding the piercing procedure and aftercare. Cassandra did the actual piercing, and she is an absolute gem with the younger crowd! She took the time to do a breathing exercise with my son to calm his nerves a bit, then he said afterwards that she was very gentle-handed and that the piercing didn't even hurt! Great experience overall, if you ever bring a young one to this store for a piercing, make sure to ask for Cassandra! 5/5 stars, would recommend!”

152 Roosevelt Rd, Villa Park“Even though theres ton of construction around I would still goto this GameStop. Just based off the customer service I received from the Sales Associate that was present at the time I know this is a good one.”
“Richard from pick up was wonderful. Made sure myOrder was correct & even seen my box of pasta was tore open and made the situation right. Excellent customer service.”
“I almost canceled my order because of some of these scary reviews. I'm not sure where they are coming from, but I received my item (Popular Play Things Mix or match vehicles) on time and as described. I called and spoke with a customer service representative and they are a small legitimate business. With all the scams out there, this is not one of them.”
“Love this store! Such a great selection of toys- fun, STEM toys, but also has fun toys to just play with. They also have a large variety of Squishmallows and rotate seasonal ones and feature different cartoon characters. This is my go to for kids' birthday gifts. A huge bonus is the free gift wrapping- they do a wonderful job, too! We have been to both the Countryside location (much larger) and Clarendon Hills (we tend to go to this one more since welive closer to here).”
