Best Childrens Book Store Cary Near Me

Mary Plourde: I recently went to North Hills location with my 1-year-old daughter, and we had a great time browsing the selection. We found a few new toys and books that she’s been exploring and loving. The staff there was so friendly and helpful.I also appreciate that the store offers a variety of educational toys that are designed to promote social-emotional learning, problem-solving skills, and creativity. These are all important skills that I want my daughter to develop, and I'm glad that I can find toys that will help her learn in a fun and engaging way.

Ashley Galliher: Great place to find squishmellers

Rusty Shackelford: They have so many jellycats toys! My baby son loves them and had such fun picking out some new ones. Staff was friendly and helpful as well. Great experience!

Galatic Cat: Fantastic, fun place to be!

Rebecca Slater: I’ve been here a few times through the years. It’s always been “good”, went back today and it’s “WOW”. Maybe they are under new management- it’s no longer a store but a destination, a true experience. Like the sign at the door says, step into fun and nostalgia. I keep thinking about how fun this place was to walk around in! Very helpful employees that are just as excited about this experience. I have never known about a line of stuffed animal called Jellycat before- this was a showstopper. I just stood and stared - toys as art!Their rewards program is just a marketing program- no “reward”, but I’m not dinging them for it.Can’t wait to visit the other locations to see if they have all been reinvented. The feeling this place gives you is addictive! Serotonin high!!

Zoe Miller: Awesome place!! I love the staff, and the products here! The stickers are adorable and it has changed a lot over time. It's somewhat calming in there now. In the past there were kids on scooters running around the shop and stuff, now I don't see why, but it seems like less kids come here, rather, the parents getting them gifts. I do love going here though!!

Randy Spain: Creative ideas for children of all ages!

Dan Radez: Great selection and free gift wrapping! Seems like we can always find a good gift at Learning Express for any age.

Amelia Shaw: Learning Express is one of my favorite stores to go to with my kids. We moved here about three years ago and were looking for a particular game and a couple of birthday presents and wanted something unique and super fun. They have so many great products- and such a great variety!I remember walking in the first time and it was a little overwhelming and hard to find things. It didn’t really make sense in how it was set up, but I noticed that the last few times I walked in that the store felt “organized” and it was so much easier to navigate! There were lots of little additions that made it more fun to explore the store. It was more inviting, engaging, and somehow warmer. The staff were all super helpful and honestly seemed like they cared that we found toys that suited each individual kid.The biggest issue now is that we spend about 3x the amount of time when we visit and end up walking out with a lot more stuff! Especially the Jellycat area- it’s probably where all three of my kids come together and spend the most time. I’d complain, except it’s awesome that my kids (11-15 years old) all find things that are engaging and bring us together as a family. Playing and laughing together is exactly what we need! Keep doing whatever you are doing!

Fawn Gibbs: Absolutely love this store! I am ready to visit their new location!

Olya Scott: No better bookstore than B&N. We have always loved this book store. Has every kind of book you could possibly ever want and read. Even for the picky type of book reader (me). But in the end, I always find the one or two books I want. Everyone that works there on any given day is helpful and sweet.

Brian Davis: Both the art and medical book sections were lackluster, in my opinion. Most of the seating was in a state of severe disrepair as well.

Martin White: Not friendly attitudes

Adrian Johnson: Are you guy’s about to change locations?

Shana Barr: This store must be closing. My husband and I were disappointed in the selection. Not worth the trip.

tanya whitson (Ms. T): Coffee & a Reading Sanctuary. 📚 Everything I need and more! The moment I walked into B&N, it was like a cozy hug. If you are a reader, you understand the feeling of being surrounded by a bunch of books. 📚 However,I didn't buy books, I bought journals, (I decided I wanted to have a set of journals that sit on my bookshelf uniformed like an old set of encyclopedias) Many bookstores are becoming extinct but I'm glad there is still a Barnes & Noble tou can go to, even if it's an hour away.
