“WHOA! This was the happiest accident and stopping here made my day so much brighter. I was in search of something board game related and a bit niche and not generally stocked at many game stores, but since I was in the neighbourhood, I thought I'd check out this place. I admit, I didn't have a bar to begin with - just a very open mind. What I walked in to? The most magical place with more candy for the eyes than I could take in during just one visit. Clearly, I will need to go back!Jay was an incredible light on a dismal day. And the shop filled with goodies just the icing on the cake. I picked up a game I had been wanting, a few stickers, and a couple of incredible books. The store itself is very welcoming & friendly, but it's the tender care around ensuring a space that is inclusive and safe for some of the most vulnerable folks, living and loving in the margins that really had my heart.I've told anyone who will listen how THIS is a store that will get my dollars, and if you are a human who believes in the safety, protection, belonging, joy, representation, and celebration of vulnerable and marginalized populations, you, too, should shower this sweet space with your support.”

“NHL, NFL, NBA, Pokemon, Magic the Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh, you name it they've got it! Plus they have a location for hosting tournaments/events.The entrance looks like a prison on an industrial slave planet, but don't let that scare you away, the inside is nice and friendly and the owner is super nice and helpful”

“This is my absolute favourite spot in all of Halifax! If you like the vibe, the interesting things in store are always a treat to find, especially with the “goblin scoops” I got last time, which was a really fun experience! I love this spot, always have, and find the staff really nice and knowledgeable on what they’re selling. You can really tell they like what they do, and honestly, I would too! I could spend hours in this store, just LOOKING at the beautiful things, and it’s one of my must-dos every time I come to Halifax!”

“I've been to Henry's a few times and I always find the people working are SO helpful and so informative! Tonight I went in looking for some help and Fia gave me so much information and answered all my questions; I was so appreciative that they took the time to help me! Thank you!”

“Staff is knowledgeable and very helpful. There aren't too many model kit-oriented stores in HRM, so you really don't have a lot of choices locally, but the prices generally make up for what you would have to pay in shipping fees if you were to shop online, let alone the wait time.Also, it's not recommended to order paints online during winter season because of freezing temperatures that can ruin the paint during transit if not kept warm, so again, this is the best way to acquire this type of product.I do appreciate their online order and delivery/pickup system, but after I had ordered and purchased one very important item on their website, they sold it to another customer before they had the chance to even process the order, so I'll have to dock a point on that incident.The variety in supplies is alright, but stock is not always up to par. However, they do have what I need, most of the time.Unfortunately, the Gundam model kits they have on the shelf are ancient, covered in dust (at least when I visited) and overpriced compared to online retailers.Having said that, this is still my go-to when I need paints, sprays, or other modeling tools that are hard to find.”

“Came in looking for furniture felt pads and everyone who was available helped look for them. I just came at the wrong time of year where they didn't have them at this time.”

“The Strange Adventures located in Dartmouth is the cutest spot. I always recommend people drop in while exploring Downtown Dartmouth. This store is located in a cozy space - but don’t let that fool you with regard to their stock. So many adventures to be had… So many things to explore… SO SO many comic books! Did I mention the amazing prices? Furthermore, the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Cory is a perfect representation of this fact. I really appreciated his excellent customer service. Our group was made to feel welcome and he was able to answer all our burning questions. If someone asked me if they should check this place out, I would refer them to my review and ask, “why not?” Thank you Strange Adventures and Cory! You are awesome!”

“MSC is the perfect example of a generational family business. The combined knowledge of the staff is apparent when you start asking questions. If they don't have what you need, they will find it without crazy markups. The store has the feel of an "old timey" shop, with a great selection of the newest RC vehicles and tech.Ordering online from Evil Bay and that jungle website can be convenient, but nothing feels better than being able to go to a local shop to quickly grab what you need for a current project.”

“I love this store. I am from the Canary Islands, In Spain, Europe, and they had a Canary Islands flag in there for me. Surprised I even found it being that much of a specific one :) So happy I can celebrate the Canary Islands day on the 30 of may here in Canada :)”

“It's games workshop, you come in and right off the bat you'll probably notice it was a block buster in the old days. Now it's a wonderfully decorated hobby shop where you can buy, paint, and play all while having endless conversations with the staff, I've been going to this store since I was a small lad back when warhammer fantasy was big. Fond memories here.”

“I was given a very heavy painting from friends. It needed wiring and hanging gear. The staff was very helpful, they added the necessary items to hang the picture successfully and it only cost me $11.00. As a senior that was impressive and affordable.”

“I was looking for stocking staffers. Hadn't been in the store for a long time. Maybe there was a big sale the day before but I found a lot of the shelves empty and the flower bins empty. I hope they aren't closing down. There was a good selection of painting supplies.”

“Popped into Strange Adventures while on vacation in Halifax and it was honestly a highlight of the trip! The proprietor was so kind and helpful. The shop was small but very well-stocked with comics old and new, graphic novels, figurines, board games, card games, and other diverse novelty and fan items.I was delighted to find two out of print Star Trek card game decks for a very reasonable price! I also left with an interesting book on female superheroes through history.Two stories of note about the proprietor: when my friend asked if they sold pens and he told her they didn’t he proceeded to go into the back and simply give her a Doctor Strange pen! And then as we were leaving an interesting book caught our eye, and he told us to take it for no charge! He said it wasn’t something people were usually looking for in his shop and just wanted it to go to a good home.I would definitely recommend Strange Adventures and if I ever find myself in Halifax again I will be returning!”
