Learning Express Toys

Walked in and was greeted. That’s about it. There was one other customer were in the store and 4 teenage female employees were huddled together just standing and just talking. The entire store could hear their conversation (boyfriends, taxes, going to the outlet mall, living with their parents) and one was belting out Justin Bieber songs very loudly. Not kidding! As my husband said, when the store is that dead on a Saturday and you have 4 employees just standing around doing nothing, something is wrong with this picture!

Great local toy store. Wonderful selection of small/​medium toys with a nice mix of brands.
Staff is always friendly and helpful. Can’t lose with free wrapping as well.

Learning Express is my go to place for fun, educational gifts. I know that I can always find some cool and unique toys that will help my nephew learning some science. The staff is always nice.
They also offer a reward program, where after making so many purchases, I can apply a credit toward an additional purchase. Gift wrapping is available on the spot.

I absolutely love this place!
I’ve come here many times and every time I’ve come the staff has been energetic, helpful, and HAPPY. It is clear that everyone has a good time working here, and is shows in their customer service.
Prices are fair. Although you will spend more for a toy here, than at say… wal-​mart, you know that a toy purchased here is sure to inspire fun, learning, and smiles from your kids! The toys here are all of heirloom quality that will be enjoyed for many years. If you are a fan of Montessori learning, there are tons of Montessori «toys» here!
Some of my fave features about the Learning Express are: 1) the «birthday buckets» they have on the back wall. Children are invited to come in and fill buckets with toys they want for their birthday. The staff displays them behind the counter, so friends and family can come and pick something out of the bucket to give them! 2) This location also has an amazing silhouette artist who comes before the holidays, and does amazing hand cut portraits. Its a wonderful, unique, one of a kind gift for grandparents! 3) The gift wrapping. They do an amazing job, not just tossing it on. You can choose girl or boy themes, and of course they have primary colors that are lots of fun. 4) There is a fun train table, and kitchen set that the staff is more than happy to let the children play with. Its definitely a much needed distraction when mom and dad are trying to do a little shopping. 5) Discounts! They have a program where for every 10 dollars you spend you get a stamp on a card that you can turn in for a discount on your next purchase.
I’ve bought nearly every birthday and Christmas gift for my daughter here in the past 2 years. This is my first stop for gifts, and for tools to help me get her school ready. I know I’m likely to find exactly what I’m looking for (and lots more that I wasn’t!) This place is a MUST for anyone who prioritizes their child’s development and happiness above all else!
