Learning Express Toys and Gifts

When I was just a kid we used to go to the Learning Express when it was in Lyndon (we’d always get our friends’ birthday party gifts there): on moving back to town I was super excited to find it still exists! I visited this week over the course of three days looking for birthday gifts for our young nephews, and while I was glad to see the same awesome collection of cool, unique toys I remembered, the sales staff was the stand-out for me. I’m notoriously indecisive, and Linda helped me narrow down a list the first day, while on the second and third the young woman with long brown hair whose name I unfortunately forget suggested a couple of great ideas that I wouldn’t have noticed myself and we ended up going with. Not just that, but on Wednesday she was the only person in the store, and deftly juggled assisting me, a gift-wrap request, another customer needing assistance, what looked like a couple of large curbside orders and a phone call with another order, and did all of this with the pleasantness and casual charm that marks a really good salesperson. As someone with retail management experience, I really hope this lady is a manager or else she really needs to be lined up for such a role, because she is killing it. If this is Learning Express’ commitment to customer service, I’m no longer surprised to see it still existing in this community. I’ll definitely be returning to support this awesome local store and encourage others to do the same if you’re looking for cool gifts that aren’t the same boring stuff, or if you find yourself at a loss when shopping for kids, because they will absolutely help you!!!

I love supporting local businesses to keep money in my community. Learning Express has a great selection of toys, games, and other items and activities that interest my children. The store is well organized and is always clean. Definitely worth a visit if you're buying gifts for kids!

Rude cashier... my 3 year old son has Autism & she looked at him like he was crazy & said “wow, he has so much energy”... He was only jumping on the little trampoline that I would imagine they have out for their little guests to use? She ran over to my husband and I and yelled don’t let him climb on the basketball netting - I said he wasn’t & she said well we have so many kids that do... We were in at 10:15am on Saturday, 3/7 - and based on this experience will bot be back, she does not like kids!

Beautiful store loaded with an array of great toys and gifts for the budding young mind. Super friendly staff and eclectic variety of toys make the Learning Express a fantastic experience for parents, grandparents, and kids alike. Check out the Calico Critters selection while you are there!!!

Love this store! Lots of great toys you won't find at walmart or target. Prices are very reasonable. Staff is friendly and they have fun events throughout the month.
