Option + reasonable prices.Wide variety and good prices. Never had peaty customer service.Customer service could be more attentive actually.

Lots of generic looking stuff for Halloween for rather high prices.

Only giving a 3 out of 5 because armband doesnt light up. Batteries are corroded. Considered new batteries but it still wont work

Its pretty picked over. Great buys on whats left pay 10cents on each dollar for all their costumes rows and rows of costumes. New years stuff and left over Halloween decorations.

Nobbies is always a blast to visit. The staff is super friendly and helpful. I go to Nobbies for just about all my party needs. Not to mention their costume selection is massive and they almost always have what you want in stock. They have costumes for everyone, adults and children. My personal favorite is the number of inflatable costumes they carry now. Their only down fall is that it may seem a bit hectic or cluttered while you are there but rest assured their wonderful staff will get you to exactly what you need.They are by far the best party and Halloween store in town. I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone in the area for all their party needs.

We had to return a costume we purchased from the store about a week ago but had lost the receipt. I called the store and asked them if a refund would still be possible and they told me yes, just come on in with the card we purchased it with. My wife went in and they would only offer in store credit. I understand a policy is a policy but I would appreciate if they were more straight forward over the phone instead of implying that we would be able to get a refund.

They have everything you need for a great party. Very helpful sales help. I got a batman costume for my husband that had been $59.95 on sale for $10 a couple of days ago. They had a several mens, womens and childrens costumes all for $10.

This store has a great selection of party supplies in various themes. The prices are better then many of the other large party stores. For Halloween they are well stocked and the variety is staggering. I prefer to put together my own costumes so i really appreciate that they carry so many accessories as opposed to just complete costumes. They have aisles of cheap but fun treat bag gifts or carnival prizes. Decor is organized by theme so its easy to find everything you need for your luau, Oscar, pirate or princess party. They are also well stocked for wedding and reception supplies. If you are planning a party, its definitely worth a stop.

This store is really helpful in preparing themed parties. Prices are reasonable though some of their party favors are low quality. The staff is really helpful. Also, you can rent several carnival items here including a popcorn machine, cotton candy machine, and corn hole (the game). They also have a free rewards program. I will be using them when my Girl Scout troop hosts events.

Love this place, they are very helpful and always have what I need or am looking for. Plus, they have a rewards program that just got me $10 off my last purchase there. Great merchandise for themed parties, birthday parties, etc.

Such a nicely organized store! So many items, so many costumes, bulk size candy options for Halloween are awesome, and I love the variety of accessories for costumes to complete the look! I have never been in this store until a week ago and Im in love!

Ive only gone here once, but I was impressed. Got a bunch of supplies for my daughters first birthday and didnt spend nearly as much as I would at Target or party City. Will be going here more often for my party supply needs.

This place is awesome but its too bad that its closing

Nobbies is a fun creative Halloween store. Its more than just costumes. I visit nobbies for latex and makeup for the zombie walk or when working on independent films. Friendly employees. Good atmosphere.

Stephanie is the bees knees! Super knowledgeable and welcoming. Huge selection good prices

Wego here regularly to buy balloons. Occasionally to buy costumes. We always have an excellent experience here. Its a great place to take kids just for a treat. A balloon or a small toy brightens up any day for a kid.

Great staff, awesome selection. They took time to help me get the perfect match in color and gloss for the balloons I needed. Will defiantly be going back!!

Had a good selection for party gifts, most of its made In China and will break quickly or its broke already at the store... But thats what you expect from this kind of place. Cashiers were nice.. and the front greeters.. past that hard to find any help walking in the isles.

Worked here for a little while, so review is a little bias. Store manager is an awesome lady. Seems to have a happy atmosphere every time I walked in the store. Still recommend people here.

This is the best party store EVER! NOBBIES has everything you could ever want for your party. If you havent thought of it yet, ask for Todd...hes got awesome ideas 😉👍

If youre looking for artificial mustaches, derby hats, mermaid costumes, oriental trading overflow, balloons galore, and everything in-between this is your place. Very friendly employees every time I have visited. My daughter loves it.

Went for Halloween costumes for kids. instead of shifting through costume after costume they had them all displayed and u tell them the # you want they get it and u try it on. made things super easy

Always something new to see. Some friendly people, others not so great. They have great products.

I wasnt sure where to find something because I hadnt been there in years and this nice employee brought me to what I needed immediately. When I got to the counter the employee helped sign me up for the rewards program. 5 stars great experience.

A great variety of party supply needs. You may spend quite a bit of time browsing, with so much there. Clean and organized!

Always has one of the best selections of Halloween stuff and is still a good party store the rest of the year.

Unfortunately its going out of business. But it has everything you would need to have a great party.

Huge shout out for helping me out with getting an arrangement of balloons and the extra things I needed for my work event!!! Awesome job! Wil definitely come back for both personal and work events! Thanks you!

Before stopping at the store, I called. After getting through the phone tree, it was answered within 2 rings by Lisa. I asked her about a flannel back table cloth that I had seen on the website and if it could be reused or felt like a one time use material. As I didnt have the item number, she asked me to describe it and then asked me to be put on hold while she checked. A few moments later she returned and said, Itll be just one more moment. Im having somebody go get one. Less than a minute later she returned and had the item in hand. She described the texture of the material and ascertained that it was heavy duty and could be reused over and over. She said they have 7 in stock at the store and asked if Id like her to put it on hold or anything. I said Id be in to look at the table cloth and related items for a party and said, Well see you then!The outside of the store is very clean. There were no carts or items outside the entrance. Though it is winter there was no snow or ice near the front of the store either, which was clear for customers to enter. Upon entering the carts were readily available by the doors and just to the right was the main checkout from which I was greeted by Lisa with a smile. She said, Good afternoon! Thanks for stopping by. Is there anything I can help you find today? I advised that I wasnt sure, but was just looking at the moment. She replied, Let me know if you need any help. The floors and aisles were clear aside from the boxes directly with people who were stocking shelves. There was no apparent dirt or ice salt on any of the floors. The restroom was clean and smelled fine. There was no dirt or trash anywhere to be seen. As they have only a dryer and no paper towels, that keeps trash to a minimum. The mirror was clean as were the floors, sink area, toilet and urinal. Overall the store felt like a party with the bright colors, themed areas andfestive items. I observed people being assisted at the balloon area in a very quick and friendly manner.Upon entering I had toured the perimeter of the store to get a feel for the layout and then proceeded to the costumes area. After a few minutes there I was walking in the aisle directly South of there and Sean was stocking a luau shelf. He said, Hi! How are you today? Can I help you find anything? I stated that I was having a costume party and was looking for a mustache that wasnt one of the colorful felt ones I had seen in the costumes area, perhaps more realistic, along with related mustache items that could go with a party. He put down what he had been stocking and said, It sounds like what youre looking for is over here. He led the way to an aisle East of where the costumes section had been. He said, Here are some fun mustaches, some realistic ones, some with handles for parties...is this what you were looking for? as he pointed out each selection. I said this was what I was looking for. I followed up by selecting a realistic one and asking whether spirit gum would work for this. He stated that, spirit gum will work, but youll want to make sure you have plenty of remover. I said that I did. He said, Is there anything else I can help you with? I replied that I was going to look through these. He stated, Ill be over stocking the temporary Luau area if you have any other questions.Everything was neat, tidy and in its place. At the checkout counter they asked if I had found anything, asked about the rewards program, got me signed up and wished me a good day.

Lots of good party supplies, but I wish the wedding/bridal shower section was a little more filled up.

Im sure theyre a great place for party stuff, but their prices around Halloween are downright predatory. $70 for a plastic bag filled with the cheapest, chestiest costume on the planet? You wont find anything here that you cant find at every pop-up Halloween store. Its the same super cheap, overpriced Sexy [costume] garbage youve seen all your life.

Staff helped us find what we needed and offered more than enough help! Great selection!

People are awful. The older woman acted like we were just a pain for asking just a yes or no question. The woman also didnt wait for us to even get out of ear shot before she turned to the other girl, openly pointed at my husbands pit bull dad shirt, and whispered that she deliberately didnt help us because (in her words) people with pit bulls need to burn in Hell with their terrible dogs. They will NEVER get a penny from me, my family, or my work place that I was actually shopping on behalf of.

So sad theyre closing. They were my go-to for work supplies, prizes, etc.

Great service and always find something I didnt know I needed

Great selection could use more clerks so not waiting to be helped and line for fitting rooms. But was Halloween so?

Friendly staff! Great variety! Prices are a bit high

I am Autistic, and turned 18 today and came to Nobbies to buy supplies for my upcoming party. I went up to a worker and asked if she had birthday supplies and she scoffed and said, “that’s a big category, hun.” very rudely. I told her I needed stuff for my party, and she cut me off telling me that “This is a party store, everything here is for a party.” I asked specifically for decorations for an 18th birthday party, and she sighed and said, “finally. Was that hard?” and took me to birthday decorations. I couldn’t help feeling that she was rude to me specifically because I have special needs. The cashier was very kind and told me that the lady was a MANAGER! I am very upset with Nobbies’s management right now, and I will not be coming back as long as Manager Linda is there, being rude to costumers with special needs.I expected more of you, Nobbies.

Was great while it lasted.

Great! Sad to see them go

I cant say enough good things about this company. My wife seriously loves armadillos. For her 40th birthday, we wanted to surprise her with an armadillo dance routine - weird, I know. 😂I found the masks I wanted via Google images, but I couldnt find any site or store from which to purchase them. A lot of searching led me to Nobbies, which showed only three of the five we needed in stock, but I took a chance and contacted them to see if they had any additional ones lurking or were able to procure them from the distributor. Todd provided exemplary customer service, pulling together the three they had, finding a fourth lurking at their other store, and procuring the very last one that the distributor possessed! He communicated with me throughout the process and just truly went above and beyond. My wife LOVED the surprise, and we couldnt have made it happen without the amazing service from Todd and Nobbies. THANK YOU!

Always fun to look at the displays, looking for basketball theme and found quite a bit!

I love Nobbies. They always have such fun party supplies and this is one of my favorite places to shop at Halloween.

The Stars seem to have quite a few party supplies but I was not impressed with the service. Seemed like we were a bother going through the checkout line.

Great party store with fun things for any holiday or event.

Great selection staff is very helpful.

This place has a great selection of party supplies with good prices. Costumes are available all year long and the Christmas and New Years party supplies are great.

They have a lot of party supplies and decorations. Hard to find somethings but the staff was very helpful and showed me where everything I needed was located. Not just a Halloween store, but it has party stuff for all occasions.

They always have what Im looking for and they have the best variety of party supplies year-round.

Its always got the cutest decirations

It ok . Got a lot neat stuff there

I think Nobbies is known for their Halloween decorations and costumes, but they also have neat things for other seasons and events (except for Christmas, at least nothing I noticed).

Loved that they have a section for gender reveal parties, which was the main reason for my visit.

Its a fun and exciting place for all your Halloween needs!

Its been my go to place for party needs for all holidays. Im going to really miss this place!

Don’t recommend shopping here ever. After purchasing a piñata which held almost no candy I found I bought too much candy. I have three unopened with the receipt bags of candy. It’s been under two weeks since I bought it. No where on the receipt does it say you can’t return candy. All of my bags are unopened and unused as per the receipt instructions and none of it was purchased on sale or as a “final sale” item.

I only went here because they advertised a going out of business sale. It was a joke. There were no clearance type prices... best was 20% off. A waste of time and a big disappointment.

LOVE this HUGE party and event supply store! Lots of great deals, tons of fun items for sale and very friendly staff.

I went here to buy a Halloween costume. The workers were very helpful and they had much more on stock than other local stores.

Generally speaking, the staff at nobbies are very helpful and always walk you to eaxactly where you need to go to find what you’re looking for. Today we needed some balloons for our daughters birthday party so I walked back to where I needed to go. No one greeted me or asked if I needed help. A few minutes went by and I walked up to the counter and asked what I needed to do to get balloons and the woman said “what do you mean?” I said I needed to have some balloons blown up and she said “if you wait a minute I can help you-I’m helping this guy right now.” Rude. Just simply rude. All I needed was confirmation that I was seen and that someone was going to be able to help me at some point. I waited around longer and finally went to the other end of the balloon counter and a very nice woman helped me get exactly what I needed. I am very disappointed in the customer service on the first part of my balloon counter interaction. I hope this woman finds the joy in blowing up balloons for other humans very important, special, and one of a kind days very soon, or finds another job to make her happy.

Reasonably priced seasonal decorations, best for birthday party ideas. Awesome balloon selection.

You get everything what you want. Refunds and changes without any problem. But everything looks unorganized

Very helpful and a lot of variety.

Such a fun store with tons of things to shop for

Always find what I am looking for. Friendly helpful staff.

Super selectionPrices were good

Ive been going for the last 4 years, and always find the right costumes for my kids.

Very little star was selection for being less than 2 weeks from star wars day may 4. I was disappointed. So I went to target and found some stuff. I guess amazon for the rest.

I found everything I needed and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

Get place for fun party stuff or morale builder giveaways for corporate events

Had to find someone to help with ordering my daughters wedding invitations. After finding someone, as we were walking to the wedding dept, she stops and asks someone if shes finding wedding invitations that she likes. I walk on over to the desk and waited 15 minutes and NOT ONCE did she come over to me, or even tell the other person that she would be with here shortly. Then another employee stops and asks the customer and the other employee if they need any assistance, WHAT THE??? My daughter and I were talking about how rude people are. Obviously Nobbies DIDNT NEED my $500.00++ order! If I could of given NEGATIVE stars, I would of! BTW, the employees name was Pam.

Helpful staff. Excellent selection.

Great place to get any type of party needs also helps plane weddings

Always find something you need.

Got a bag of farm animals and some derbies for decorating steam punk style. A variety of styles and prices.

So sad that they are closing up. Almost bare when I went in. :(

Wonderful store to customize birthdays.

Great selections, great employees

Great selection of Halloween decor

Prices still high for a lot of their stock that looks like its been around for years.

Place is stupid. Buy a holloween costume thought I would use it but didnt. Bout time oh all holloween costumes need to be returned a week before holloween on the 21st. Ill never return. For any occasion.

Your place for everything party related. Helpful staff

Some of the prices are high. However they have a great selection.

They hve just about everything needed for a party. I go there for party favors and cupcake travel boxes so my cupcakes look professional.

Wouldnt let me return anything. Forgot to scan my things. The workers didnt even know what they were doing. Horrible experience, would not buy from here again!!!

Excellent place to buy party stuff

Very helpful, extremely polite, great experience

Great selection of products, and very friendly staff

They used to be much more awesome when it comes to Halloween... Now they are pretty lame.

The Nobbies in Des Moines is closing. They are now 70-90% off

Best party store in Des Moines.

Not firm on online price and Store Price. Lot of up marking 25% from online and instore. Do not match price as well.

You need a costume, this is a great place to go.

Great place to get all party needs.
