“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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 )”
“My husband and i sort of wandered in (i didn't think it was open since you can't tell from the street) but we got buzzed in and WOW was it worth it, an amazing collection, some of which my husband recognized from his childhood with plenty of toys and models with all sorts of themes. GREAT stock of Horror stuff and a super friendly lady at the counter. We will absolutely be back, this place is a hidden gem and well worth the trip on a rainy Satuday afternoon.”
“Was very busy and hard to get help but after being there an hour with my kids I finally got help and was able to Purchase the slotcar I wanted/needed to race with my friend I'll definitely be back. They got a good little hidden selection of slotcars unfortunately they don't know enough to help other people ,with questions or carry new tires for the slotcars.”

“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!”
“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?”
“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!”

“Eric, thank you. This is a gem that we had driven by countless times saying that we needed to "check it out". I am so happy that we did today. We walked away with a really nice haul of board games too. Can't wait to be back to keep finding little hidden games and puzzles here.Side note, it is extremely satisfying to find a toy store that is not packed full of cheaply made shelf fillers. This store has quality items and hard to find games and puzzles. We will be supporting this place for a long time.Thank you for answering my questions today.”
“This place is so cute and great for kids! They have so many items and pretty affordable prices. It is a small store so it can get busy and crowded, though. For my girlies: they have sonny angels behind the counter near the register, so you have to ask an employee if you want one! Check their Instagram to see when they restock.”
“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!!”
“They have a great selection of clothing, but most of it is on the pricier side. Good for special occasions! I love that they carry the Molo brand--my kid used to love wearing Molo until she started getting pickier about what she wore. The great thing about Sugarcup is that they also have a basement full of discounted and gently used clothing, which is great when you don't feel like spending full retail pricing.”
“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.”
“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).”

“this is a fun nice store to go into. sometimes if I want a big bag of candy I'll go in here. I know this store probably is targeted towards teenage people and maybe young adult people. but you know sometimes I do come in here and just walk around and look at stuff. and that's cool. you know it just is nice to walk around a nice store. see what they have in here and everything is $5 or less. and I think one time I bought these little 5 lb hand weights in here and each hand weight was $5 for the 5 lb hand weight. I still have those hand weights in there pretty nice to have. and then a few other times I've bought these little LED strip lights to wrap around my tv. and I think I bought other small things like a big giant bag of bite size candy bars and I'm sure I bought other things in here. you know that huge bag of m&Ms or that big bag of gummy bears and then you eat the whole bag in 3 days. but it's just a good little store to go to when you can't think of anything else to do.”
“Omg I couldn’t be happier shopping here, every employee is beyond nice and professional. Special thanks to Diana for always helping me w/out hesitation fulfilling my shopping needs, YOU ROCK??????”
“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.”
“Bought online. Had an issue with USPS and owner was able to resolve professionally and with courtesy. You don't get that kind of service from the big box stores. Prices are reasonable as well. Will buy again and thank you.”
“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.”
“Great deals going on right now for Black Friday if you're looking for Nintendo Switch games. The two young men working on 11/20/22 were very helpful, extremely knowledgeable, and friendly. I can't say enough good things about these two young men. I had a great experience and have found a new home store.”

“We recently had our 1 yr old’s birthday party through Waterlemon at the RSC and it did not disappoint! The venue is aesthetic/beautiful (honestly don’t even need much in terms of decor) and perfect for hosting adults and kids with activities and more than enough space for everyone! Nina was extremely responsive and helpful throughout the planning process and in helping us set up for the party the day of. Appreciated all of her insight/guidance as I am not the best planner! We received so many compliments from our guests- super happy with how everything turned out. Highly recommend Waterlemon!”
