Learning Express Toys & Gifts

Love this store. There is a wide range of educational and fun toys/games/merch for both boys & girls. Staff was welcoming and helpful. The free gift wrapping is a nice bonus :)

It’s evident how carefully each item in this store is hand picked for a reason and the staff is so passionate. Some reviewers complain about the hours, but personally I am more likely to support businesses that value balance and time away from work for their employees. :)

If you are looking for something that you won't find on the internet or in a big box this is the place to go. My granddaughters, all 7 of them, love this place. One of their favorites are the products that Learning Express hand paints thier names on. There is no extra charge and they do a beautiful job. If you are looking for an old fashion toy store this is it.

I really like this store! All kinds if cute items most if which are priced fairly ! The only reason I'm a little upset is because when I was in there last week I heard one of the workers probably around 16 years old ask her boss if she could "dress up for halloween"

it's a job. Not a costume party. I understand being fun and maybe putting on a cute headband or something like that but I don't find it necessary to ask a question like that.

Wonderful, Small Business Owned that TRULY loves their business and serving their customers!!! Unique gifts at great prices! #supportsmallbusinesses

My go to toy store! All of their toys are quality. I have toys that have gone through 3 kids from them. Love this place!

I just have to comment that the majority of the bad reviews are related to squishmallows. Get over yourselves.

I love this store! It’s a bit or a drive for me so I only come out every couple of months and have been twice so far. I love the variety of toys they have and the prices are reasonable for being a small business. I love the variety of fidgets they have been stocking recently and it’s always fun to see what new Squishmallows they have in stock

I love this place so very very much, there so kind and very understanding of my Immunosuppressed state and always make sure I get a fresh unopened plush from the back room instead of the ones that have been out and around. An older lady named Jo-Ann was just a little stern with me last month but she learned about my Medical Problems from the other Employees that work there and she was a lot nicer to me last time I talked to her on the phone and when I was in store too. I love the Squishmallows and Cats vs Pickles the most at this store and the other stuffed animal 🧸 are all so cute as well.

The owners and staff are so passionate, caring, and completely invested in making the toy shopping experience special and memorable. They always hold a huge variety of events to their community making sure every single customer, the young and young at heart, leaves with a smile. I HIGHLY recommend you visit this store for the hottest toys, great prices, and best customer service you can't find anywhere online!

I brought my 1 year old in to pick out a new toy. She gets bored with everything quickly. This store has such a large selection of learning toys which was wonderful to see. The staff was very friendly and showed me some favorited toys for her age and gosh were they right. My daughter has been playing with them for hours. It’s so nice to see her actually enjoy her toys and play with them for once! So thank you and we will definitely be returning for more.

Just got my order of cats vs pickles in the mail and am very happy! The shipping price was very reasonable, staff was super friendly with me, and it was very easy to place the order over the phone. They even sent along 2 free cats (who does that anymore?)! Thank you so much!!

Outstanding local business! They have a tremendous variety of toys that make it easy to shop for children of all ages. Their employees were very helpful, especially the owners. I highly recommend shopping here!

Not sure what store everyone has been visiting in the remarks about how bad the customer service and owner are. I have gone to Learning Express for two years and it is by far mine and my kiddos favorite. The handful of times I've met the owner he has been nothing but friendly and helpful. The employees are awesome and have always been patient and friendly. Will continue to visit time and time again.

The best selection of popular and educational toys, personal service and free gift wrapping! The best toy store around.

If you are looking for all the cool TikTok trendy fidget toys and Squishmallows, Lake Zurich Learning Express is your place. They also have educational toys, arts & crafts, fun outdoor games and more.

great fun and unique toys. kids love it and went crazy, spent over 100$ there. workers were nice and helped me a lot.

This is the best place for fidgets and toys. Popular for pop-its, staff are also polite. Oh and I so got jelly candy here. (◕ヮ◕)

I bought some birthday gifts for a friend and the items were in excellent shape! Shipping was fast to! Thank you:)

Amazing customer service. I live in Washington State but they allowed me to purchase an item and shipped it for a reasonable price.

Great local business, great selection, good mix of boutique small brand toys, educational toys and mainstream toys. Quality customer service.
