      Such a cute store, both educational and fun.
      This shop is very clean and organized, conveniently located in the Alamo outdoor shopping center, with walking distance to movie theater, shops and restaurants.
      Friendly service and Parking is very easy to find.

      I love this toy store. Glad to see some chains are still in business. Quality people and quality toys. Quality over quantity, something the late Toys 'R Us sometimes failed to fulfill! The Learning Express also, as the name foreshadows, have a plethora of educational toys which is always nice to see.

      There are often sales in the store. Take the time to look around, you might be surprised at how affordable it can be.

      Compact yet filled to the brim with goodies. Big fan of the Squishables & the Squishmallows lines. Any location I go to, I have never had a problem with the employees. In fact, they are always an asset. Especially welcoming of the child at heart I am, playing around.

      Absolutely disgusted with the audacity of this store. I have been going here many times and this past visit was anything but good. Everything was nearly empty and to the left of the store there is shelves full of frogs kept in dangerous environments. Those frogs are not having regulated water,enough plants for oxygen,lamps for heating,and are supposed to be kept in 5 gallon tanks. They are also being fed pellets for fMany frogs were struggling to stay up to the top of the water to gain oxygen from a tiny hole on the top. One was not moving (I presume dead) and there was even some tanks with 2 frogs at a time. It's obvious they're just thinking of money and not the actual well being of the frogs they're selling. Will never be returning here again.

      Frogs kept in horrible environments.

      Place was very overpriced. Found some items cheaper on targets website before purchasing here. So I only bought something I didn't think I could find anywhere else. One of the lady cashiers commented on my height (I'm 4'9) saying "oh I didn't see you, you're so short" right before ringing me up. That did it for me bc as you can imagine I always have people saying things like that. After that I just wanted to get out of there without purchasing anything at all but I was buying something for my nieces birthday. Another thing is they have 2 frogs in tiny aquariums. I put my hand next to it to show the comparison. With a tiny air hole. They're not getting the proper care they need. They need to stop selling these immediately.

      The owner Tim Hicks touched my service dog from the back without asking and my service dog turned around to snap out of fear (he is still in training it says so on his vest) he then told us we needed to leave and weren't allowed back. A golden retriever OFF LEASH NO COLLAR was roaming the store and came up to my dog and started barking in his face. He is lucky I didn't kick that dog in the face for what he did, having a dog like that is not right. The whole situation was awful. It was no surprise my dog was coming inside we were camping out there since 10pm the night before and the manager saw us multiple times. Do Better. ALWAYS ASSUME A DOG IN A PUBLIC PLACE IS A SERVICE DOG NO PETS ARE ALLOWED IN PUBLIC SPACES UNLESS STATED

      You need to update your closing time online for Sunday. We drove 25 miles to come to your store only to find out you closed at 5pm instead of 6pm.

      They have great educational toys on top of all the popular plush and Pokémon cards. It also helps that everyone working at this location always goes above and beyond for customers!

      We come here all the time and most employees here are very friendly and helpful except for one. I didn't get her name but she's an older employee with glasses and gray hair. She's very rude and cops an attitude with people who are shopping or have any questions. You would think for working in a toy store the lady would lighten up a bit. But after seeing her the past 5 times I've visited, she always has the same irritable attitude. I would avoid her as much as possible when shopping here. And for the love of god don't ask her any questions because she seems like she's about to lose it!

      Great store for all ages of "kids" (some kids at heart). Staff is INCREDIBLY helpful & chose a specific staff member for my birthday boy's age group. The 3 year old birthday boy chose my gift to play with the entire time over the other 40+ gifts he got!! And the adults kept trying to borrow it too!! Thank you Learning Express Toys!!!

      If you are in the area and need to pick up a very special gift for a child, you've found the right place! They will even wrap it for you if you're the type of parent who rushes around (bad you!). I'll admit it is convenient!

      The selection ranges from baby toys and learning items, to Disney Princesses, to science projects for boys and girls. They have a great selection of DIY projects as well.

      I'm sure by this point you're wondering "Why the 3 stars, Fawn?"

      Price! This is a boutique which means you're going to pay the boutique prices. Some of the items you'll find at Target or Walmart for sometimes $5 less. Now, there are some items you won't find any where else, which is what I usually look for and I know I'll find it here.

      They recently set up a Thomas the Train play table which occupies my daughter while I shop for the perfect gift. There are a lot of items that will occupy your child really, she just loves trains.
