Best Miniatures Store Cary Near Me

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!

Sheri Chen: Wonderful shop to find all your D&D , nerdie things. Shop keep was nice and knowledgeable. Good prices! No trolls or man eating warpletingers. 😜

shalenar: Please inform your employees to verify inventory before blurting out answers. Called and the employee answered within .5 seconds and said yes. 20+ minute drive later I was told they were actually sold out because he misunderstood what I said somehow. I canceled my Amazon order so I could purchase locally, even tho it's already cheaper to purchase online. Long time customer and it's sad that not only did I waste the gas to come out to you, but it was like they didn't care, they had their magic game to attend to and couldn't be bothered to address a problem they caused.

mark tuskey: Stopped carrying some of the military conchos

Bryan Cruz: Lots of stuff

Angela Bass: I love this place. But in today's experience I am waiting in line for about 6 minutes and before I get to the register the lady put the register closed sign up. Why wait until you have people in line to do that. Let them know when they are walking up in your line.She said she had to go to lunch

Elaine McCoy: This commercial chain is disgusting.Do NOT give this homophobic vendor any money or support its rotten values in any way.

Skip Perry: I would like to bring to the attention of store management, Miss Dennaly who oversees the Picture Framing Department, she is to be highly complimented for outstanding customer service on April 6th, 2023. I went into the store to get my 24x36 Poster framed for my living room wall. She was above and beyond my expectation for service and professionalism throughout the entire transaction. My Poster was quick and ready to go in no time at all. I would highly recommend this sales associate for a higher position within the store.James Perry

Amy M.C.: Prices are good when you catch the 50% off sales. Service was spotty. Asked Brittany, at the register, a simple question and her hands went up in irritation. Kind customer service goes a long way.

Tom: Friendly. Amazing things in stock. Buy local!!!

Romero Family: Looking for an intimate, focused and fun birthday party for your kids. Science Safari is the place. My 7 year old and 11 of his friends had an awesome time with Ms. Shiobhan who is amazing at redirecting curious kids. The party was an absolute success and we didn't have to lift a finger. They provided cupcakes, snacks, drinks for the kids and even a party favor and special surprise for the birthday boy. Thank you, Mr. Sean and Ms. Shiobhan!!!

Cassandra Callas: Great spot for creative/STEM-inspired kids toys. They also have classes and events. Go here if you need a gift for kids of any age!

Gretta: My toddler and I stopped in on a whim while waiting to get a haircut and I'm so glad we did. Awesome selection of educational toys, cool animals, and nice people!

Max Maticic: I am truly impressed with this place. They had brands and toys perfect for my almost 3 year old and the selection of dinosaur figures was great. I have never seen my kid so excited. A toy store like this is special and worth a trip to.

Elizabeth Royal: My daughter loves coming to science classes here. A great addition to our homeschool curriculum!

Joy Lovejoy: Wide variety of science toys, live animals friendly staff and classes!

Christina Cataldo: I don't know why I haven't made my way into this awesome little shop sooner! I was with my 11 year old and we were looking for some gifts. We were immediately helped (by the owner possibly) who enthusiastically showed us the different areas of the store. My son kept himself busy while I found the perfect things. There was a class in the backroom going on and the kids, as well as the woman running it, were having a blast.The toys/games are mostly hands on learning type. Super cool local business, fabulous customer service, located in the Saltbox Village shopping center. I will definitely be back.

Jessica Johnson: My family LOVES Science Safari! It helps I have two kids who love science (who doesn't??) and their location is very convenient. I probably allow my kids to buy too much because I love supporting this family owned, science based store.

Michelle Sinnott: Great shop for kids and big kids! Prices are good. Lots of neat stuff!

Kristen Butler: I am SO pleased. We came looking for a gift for our 3 year old nephew. The wonderful man working showed us exactly what we needed. While browsing the rest of the stuff, we heard him helping several other people. You know those incredible humans who are just so delighted by helping other humans learn? This is that guy. The selection is incredible. We found so many things for a 3 year old (and much younger!) and I found so many things I want for myself as a 34 year old- obviously, every age in between. AND there are turtles!! I will absolutely be back.

Elizabeth Thomason: This place is magical! My kids have so much fun just being in here. The owner is so kind and good with kids. It’s such a pleasure to shop local at a unique place where the owner truly loves his store and customers. We will always come back here over big box stores!

Katherine Lelito: Obsessed with this store. 4 yo finds something great every time and I know they will for years. Mummy dig, OffBits robot builds, 4D human body puzzle. The staff is really knowledgeable and can help point you to picks your kid will like. They also have beautiful animal pets that the kids really like to visit.

A. Osgood: Excellent selection of STEM and educational toys! Very helpful and friendly owners. Great prices. Wonderful variety of toys for all types of interests and ages - our 4 year old child likes insects, herpetology, fossils, rainbows, and building materials and there was something for her to satisfy each of these interests. Even a "birthday bell" for the kids to ring if they visit around their birthday. A special store and a terrific local shop to support!

Theresa Milko: Helpful staff at cutting table!

AnnMarie Summers: Has some good stuff but they don't honor there prices, the item was 40% off but yet I had to pay full price. Then my sister in law had an item and online was 10$ cheaper an they didn't honor the price change .So definitely won't be back and that manager was rude.

Candece Singleton: I love Hobby Lobby. I can find things here for every project or craft I need. This store always has great customer service and is always neat and organized. Be sure to check the clearance areas. They have items for just mere pennies.

Khiyana Williams: Love this place! Always end up going in for one thing and my boyfriend and i both end up leaving with wayyyy more than we planned to. So many options. Employees are always super kind and helpful.

Steven Fried: Çonvience in finding what i needed

Lacy 2 Nd Phone Nunez: Love this store!!

Shannon Myers: Many isles are incorrectly labeled, most visits I need to ask for assistance locating items the app says are in stick, and it is difficult to find an employee to assist with this. Position es are this store has a self check out that is fast and easy to use, including using coupons.

Vlad Gafurov: Super cheap, has self-checkout terminals. Got myself a cool frame there

Daniel Picarsic: My wife always finds what she wanted and more.

Frank Alvarez: Great store

Joshua M.: Good selection of paints, sadly their clearance stuff is pretty well gone. Which is good for them!

Kyle Fisher: Much newer location. The cosplay section is shrinking but I still love michaels

Lisa Vines: The store itself is great, but the new self checkout is terrible. I needed assistance with an item and was told they’d be right with me, but then I was subsequently ignored for the next 5-10 minutes. It was a relatively quiet afternoon. I had to cancel my transaction and go back through the store to find a replacement item and then get back into the line.

Shane Armstrong: Decent selection, pretty well stocked. Service is friendly as well. Had to shop here on Christmas Eve and it was pretty smooth.

Dave C: A fun place to spend time with friends and family.

Greg Davies: Great staff and selectoin

Grace Wells: This is a cute little place on the second floor above Wasabi with lots of board games to play. It's $10 for a table and then you get to play games as much as you like. It's not too loud and everyone was extremely respectful of other tables. We didn't get to try the food, but they do serve dinner after 5pm.

Marcus: Fun place

Lance Shrader: Now know as gamers geekery. Very cool hang out.

Aaron Leininger: I enjoy the food and the gaming atmosphere and the drink selection.

Matthew Lambert: I visited ECG for the first time yesterday and I had a good experience. My family and I love board games so we decided to give it a go and we had fun. I have mixed emotions on this place being family friendly that have young children as they do serve alcohol but it is what it is. My son (8 years old) and I also play Pokemon and we were hoping to find some sealed Pokemon products here. They are definitely geared more toward MTG players as they have lots of sealed MTG products but very minimal Pokemon stuff. They have some deck boxes and Dragon Shield sleeves on the shelf also. They have a great selection of board games though. Good amount of seating and friendly staff. I would definitely go back again. Masks were NOT enforced when we visited which was a huge plus in my book.

Ryan Curtis: If you are looking for a place to stock up on supplies its not the best location, but there is plenty of seating and tables for actually playing games. At the time I visited masks were still required if that is a problem for you.

Mike Manganillo: Cool concept and fun place to hang out with the family’s

Patrick Williams: Step above typical lfgs.

Scott Christie: This place is awesome! The staff who served me were super friendly, the drink and food items were interesting and varied, and the venue is huge! They had games for rent and sale, and private rooms to rent. I can't wait to come back here with friends.

T L: This is the quintessential local game shop. They have an amazing collection of board games and I always get my MTG from them. They are a store worth supporting and a great asset to the community.

Max Dancik: 👍

Chazel - (Chadlerz): Beers on tap. Very nice, clean place. Staff are great;)

Cody Briggs: We have a DnD group that meets on Fridays. When looking for a place that was conveniently located for all our work that also had food and drinks, ECG was the best choice in the area. The food is consistently good and quick, and there is always a good variety of beers and meads. The space is clean and the staff is friendly and attentive. Would recommend this place for anyone looking for a relaxing place to play some games or try out something new

Payton Gragg (ImagineGreater): New location is absolutely amazing! Fantastic restaurant quality food, great drinks, and the perfect rustic aesthetic for table top gaming.

Aaron Eady: This place is great. Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Kristen set us up with some beginner games, taught us how to play, and let us go on our own. It was awesome. Definitely coming back.

Peter Larsen: A nice new board game bar with a wide selection, tons of beer options, and weekly specials

Kirk Adams: New name though.

Bas Pluim: Great atmosphere and super friendly staff
