Great toy shop with products I feel good about buying. I dont have kids of my own, but I come here to buy presents for the kids in my life. I just ask the sales clerks for help, and trust their opinions. So far, so good.

This shop carries a well curated collection of toys, games, and educational kits/materials. Staff are always very friendly and ready to help you choose something, or just let you browse. Items are priced very reasonably, and they will gift wrap for no additional charge. This is my first (and often only) stop for birthday and Christmas presents for my nephew and nieces. Highly recommend.

I have visited Oh, Know! The Knowing Place several times during the past several years because they are now in my neighborhood.My first visit to Oh, Know! The Knowing Place had been because I had had my computer fixed, during early 2014, at Right Click Computers, at that exact same location, and I had been curious to see who had moved into that location after Right Click Computers had moved out.Oh, Know! The Knowing Place sells many toys either (1.) that I remember from my childhood or (2.) that I wish that I had known about during my childhood. But actually, the products that Oh, Know! The Knowing Place sells are appropriate for all ages because their mission is to facilitate education for all ages.Yesterday [1-4-2020], I visited Oh, Know! The Knowing Place and saw a railroad set very similar to what I remember from my childhood.I also saw a toy very similar to a Spirograph, a geometric drawing toy [that uses different-sized gears] that produces mathematical roulette curves that had been developed by British engineer Denys Fisher and first sold in 1965 [to quote from Wikipedia] that I remember from my childhood.Oh, Know! The Knowing Place has a friendly and knowledgeable staff and will gift-wrap your purchase at no charge if you wish.During my most recent visit to Oh, Know! The Knowing Place, I learned from the woman behind the counter how to play jacks and how to play marbles, two things that I had seen others doing during my childhood but had never learned how to do myself.I strongly recommend checking out Oh, Know! The Knowing Place if you are in the area while they are open.

If you have a child in your life and want to get them something special something that will last this place is where you need to start. They are the definition of Friendly service. This isnt your adverage toy store, every toy every book, is there for a reason and there to make a lasting impact on the children in your life. They believe that everything your child interacts with is a chance to learn to grow and most importantly have fun.

Really wanted to check out this store for my little ones and used my lunch hour to stop by. Arrived around 1:15pm, the OPEN sign was on the door, but both doors were locked and nobody was inside. Left disappointed. I do hope everything is OK!!! Will leave an update if/when I get the chance to return.

Our Family is hooked on this store! This is a wonderful store packed full of creative toys and puzzles and books and tools and more aimed towards children, but thoroughly inspiring for ages 1 through 103! We found it by accident and hope it stays... Our children went in the store with us and did not want to leavel Many of the games and sets are out so that the children and adults can see what they are really like. When we had a question about an item our daughter liked they opened a set so that we could see the item and hold it. The collection of books is so thoughtfully chosen... I had trouble imagining my children growing up without reading almost every single one! I will come here over any book store for childrens books because they have books I would not even know to look for and do not have the time to research all of for myself... Thank You! I want to give items like they sell to every child! This is not a place to find toys you will want to sell next year in a yard sale... this is a store that trully unlocks childrens minds and imaginations! Thank you Oh, Know! The Knowing Place!

Just a phenomenal environment, incredibly caring owners, and an abundance of thoughtfully chosen toys and games sure to help in teaching children young and old. The platonic ideal of an educational toy store!

I can’t share a review because it was closed when I got there at 4:50 despite their hours on google being open until 6:00. They need to update their hours.
