Really cool store! They have a little bit of everything. I could see spending hours here just checking things out. Huge section of models and trains. Crafts, board games, toys. Something for the whole family! In a convenient location. Lots of parking.
If youre looking for Gundam and model kit, they have it here got a very good price. Store and staff are amazing. There a little bit of everything for everyone. Would definitely recommend checking out
The perfect place for either the amateur hobbyist or those who spend their weekends/retirement building dream cars they never managed to get for themselves. The employees at Hub Hobby are helpful, knowledgeable, and will on occasion will question your battery choice for an RC car... but thats only because they didnt live by Tim The Tool Man Taylors motto that all anything needs is more power!If you are a serious hobbyist, Hub Hobby is the only place you need visit.
I’m so excited I found this place! They have absolutely everything you need for any hands on hobby you can think of, as well as games, and more. Plus the staff is very knowledgeable in their recommendations as well. I will be a frequent customer from now on.
These guys are incredible! As a new comer to the remote control hobby, I have found Hub Hobby Center invaluable. John, Kyle and the rest of their team are true professionals! They know their product and have walked me through the many options that are available. Without their help I would likely have walked away from what Im finding to be a very fun and entertaining hobby. When visiting their store I greatly enjoy their enthusiasm as well as that of the other customers. Highly recommended!
Fantastic staff. Extremely knowledgeable. Thank you.
This is the place to go for hobby r/c! They have so much more though! This place is huge. Its a great place to go for gifts for kids when you dont know what to get. Just about anything from any shelf makes a great gift. Great place to spend an hour easily and have it only feel like 5 minutes.
Just recently got back into my hobby!!! My first and only place I shop at is hub hobby!!!! I live all the way in Owatonna which is a hour drive! This store has absolutely anything you are in search of!!! Great service, selection, and friendly staff. I’m now a hub hobby customer for life!!!!
All the employees seem to know their stuff. Ive had great experiences there several times. Mostly upscale RC cars, planes, copters, but not too many drones. They have plenty of gadgets, science type experiments, model trains, puzzles, arts/crafts, etc... Store hours : 10-6 daily.
I like to wander around looking at all the fun things one could endeavor. I also get gifts for others here, lots of great stuff.
Best hobby store in the twin cities. I get all my paints and modeling supplies from here, they have by far the best selection in the area. Thanks for all the hard work!
Fantastic store with all kinds of toys and hobby activities that you cant find elsewhere. The staff were really helpful and a joy to speak with about the fun items in the store. Cant wait to go again!
This store has never disappointed me. The staff is fantastic, knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. If you have a life long passion or are searching for a new hobby, you cant do much better than Hub Hobby! I cant recommend this place enough!
New to the cities and I havent seen a hobby store like this in 20 years. All the paint, tools, models, and parts you could ever want. Extremely impressed by the variety of glue and specialty tools. Game section is just icing.
Awesome place. Wishing I could have more money to spend here. Its a dream in there.
AMAZING customer service. John was an expert with tips and help on the RCs and got my sons RC in perfect shape. The assistance in the model rocket department was stellar - every detail covered. HIGHLY recommend this place.
They have a lot of goodies from nice r/c cars to customizable r/c, and model kits from cars to Gundam model kits
I felt like a fish out of water here, in a good way. Lots of neat hobby supplies for a wide range of interests. My only complaint is that its overpriced but I would say thats a fair compromise to keep a physical store like this open.
Staff was super nice and friendly the place was clean and as tidy as you can make a shop like this ! They had just what I was looking for and had it at a great price. I will definitely be coming back if I can!!
Hub Hobby is a great store! The customer service is great, they always go out of their way to help and they will even tell you how to save money. Ive seen these guys do there best to give good information and nothing they do not know. They will even check their books.I have never been scammed here and I am 100% sure it will never happen.THE BEST!
I recently searched online for a plush Snow Dragon for my daughters Christmas presents. Many sites were sold out, but Hub Hobby had the plush. We live in Maryland so I emailed to confirm availability and shipping prior to making my order. Brandon responded within 4 minutes. He not only confirmed the item was in stock but asked for my order number so that he could watch out for the package to ensure we received before Christmas. There was some delays by the USPS due to heavy delivery of presents BUT I saw the USPS truck outside our house as we returned from Christmas Eve Mass! It was the most wanted gift that my daughter wanted. The Hub Hobby made our Christmas Wish come true!
Absolutely adore this store. Great people, great atmosphere, and great stock. Always go here for my gunpla fix, but also for paint or model kits for my dad. You guys rock, keep up the awesome job
Super cool place with so many different toys, games, and other fun items! We could spend hours looking through their inventory.
I went in a few months ago to get glue for minis we had been gifted. It took repeated tries to get an employee to help us. Two of the employees were just talking to each other and acted like they couldnt hear or see me. One employee sort of tried but didnt know about miniatures and they told us to ask a specific employee that might know then walked away. We had no idea who that was or where we could find them so we just left and bought what we needed on amazon. I work in retail, if you need another employee you bring the customer to them or call them to the customer, you dont leave the customer to go find someone they only have the name of.
I ordered two Disney Villainous puzzles online, as Im currently trying to collect all of them. Im always hesitant to order from places I havent before due to bad experiences in the past, but I gave Hub Hobby a chance and I am SO happy I did. The items came fast, theyre in perfect condition, and they were well packaged. Incredible experience overall. Ill definitely be a repeat customer.
Upon visiting the store we encountered an issue that was not resolved at the store level. After voicing my concerns in a review, the immediate issue was corrected. We went back the next day to purchase a rapid charger for RC car we bought and the guy informed with my wife that the charger would not work with my battery. I had done all prior research and knew it would work. She then asked if they had the AC to DC adapter and he had no clue what she was talking about. What kind of people does this place employ? We ended up driving down to Burnsville to the RC Car Kings to get the charger she was told would not work. It works perfectly. They also advised us about a motor trade in program and other was to improve our car. FYI, Car Kings also had the same car for cheaper even thought I was advised at the Hub Traxxas raised their cost. They may have increased the cost, but not to the extent they are charging at the Hub. I would think twice before wasting your time driving to this place. After two failed attempts, we will NOT be back. What a waste of time, gas and energy.
Wow what a place! The sheer size and variety of this store is tough to find anywhere else. My wife and kids loved it.
Great selection of parts. Staff knows where stuff. Bought a car for my kid and worker said I would be back in a couple of weeks to get my own. Well he was right.
Love this place. Been going here FOREVER! They have something for everyone. Great selection for a lot of different hobbies. Highly recommend this place!!!!
Place had like 20 people in it and 3 employees to help you get the majority of items in the store
Very friendly and helpful staff.I appreciate most that this store is improving their paint and tool supplies and are evolving with the serious modelers needs. If I ever need anything they were out of stock or didnt stock, it was a priority for them to find a timely way to put it in my hands. They stock MMP!!! I even saw the new Tamiya Laquer paint being shelved today.Very cool and fun place to visit.
Holy Moses never new the extent of cool merchandise packed into this hidden gem
This amazing store is jam packed with loads of fun stuff for all ages!
Best hobby shop around. All the staff are very helpful, especially in the r/c section.
Oh Hub Hobby. This is a great place to bring your kids. Not only that, but its a great place to remember what it was like to be a kid. The staff is friendly and helpful. They have trains, planes, R.C. cars, books, stuffed animals and more. You will not leave without having a smile on your face. Guaranteed.
The few times I’ve been here I’ve gotten horrible service. I called today and the women on the phone was just a real catch you next Tuesday, I ask if they carried MechatroWego and she said i don’t know what that is and I described the packaging to her and she didn’t even try to hear what I was saying. Her response was well I’m the gundam person and I can’t leave the register ?? Like I’m okay nevermind I’ll ask the other store.
Hub hobby is an awesome place Its very large it has everything It is an amazing place! If youre into hobbies or crafts this is the place to go Im telling you its got everything imaginable You got to go there!
John is a great manager there really nice guy really helpful knows what hes talking about it and its fully knowledgeable with everything in the store also another worker named John also knows his stuff and is really friendly they all are
First time going in there today (7/7/21) as I am getting back into Gunpla and learning how to detail them and paint them...I found that they had all of what I needed and MORE! They have Testors AND Tamiya for model paints...spray can and little bottles. They had Mr. Cement Setter. Tamiya paint thinner. Every details tool you could think of from nippers to sanding tools... All for the price of what you can order online or CHEAPER.This is a decent size store with something for everyone. Its somewhat of a toy store as well as a hobby store. 5/5 cant wait to go again to get more paints I need for my next Gunpla project.
Probably the best hobby store in the metro. Great selection of just about everything!
Great selection of RC parts, friendly helpful staff!
Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Always fun to look around for the next NEW favorite hobby.
A fantastic shopping experience per usual! The gift ideas in this store and available products seem endless. Everyone is always pleasant, knowledgeable, and helpful. Its easy to spend way too much time here browsing all your future purchases while making your actual purchases. Hands down Hub Hobby is my most favorite place to shop!
Employees are nice and gunpla selection is numerous. Cheaper than online
Must have forgot how great this place was will be making a trip from now on more routinely
Im from Colorado and visit the in-laws just down the road from this place and make it a point to stop in at least once per vacation visit Ill it is one of my favorite places in Minnesota. Usually spend hours and hundreds each visit and could easily spend more if my wallet and watch allowed. My kind of store.
Most of the nice folks working at Hub Hobby know me on sight. So I always feel like family when I go there.
On Sunday afternoon, 7/25, there were 2 employees in the model section of the store having having their own conversion and were totally ignoring customers that had questions.
Incredible selection of new model trains trains. Very insightful staff and overall a wonderful experience.
Everything r/c that you need. Great customer service, very friendly. Go here before you buy online somewhere else. They even had parts in stock that are on back order everywhere else online. Amazing!
Best hobby store in the twin cities. Ill go just to walk around because there is so much fun stuff to look at. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for craft or hobby supplies
Huge variety of things here, but alot of people end up coming here to look for the wrong thing. First and foremost they have unbeatable selection for anything related to remote control hobbies, model trains, and scale model building.They also have a good selection of board games, legos, playmobil, and any other toys that could be considered hobby or hobby adjacent.They also carry a small variety of Magic the Gathering boosters and Warhammer models/paints.One of my favorite memories of my childhood was going to see the train displays in back, which are sti there. Great place if you want to spark your childs interest in something tactile instead of screen related.
Legendary, support this local gem!
Has a great number of projects, model rockets, Gundam models, RC cars and rocks.
Amazing selection, more than Id hoped for & I was able to find what I needed plus a few extras.
We love it here. My husband and have been going to this store for many years for RC trucks, crafts, and fun kids toys for our children. It offers items you really cannot find in other stores.
So glad I stopped to check it out. So rare to see such a great model selection these days. Folks Ive chatted with compare it to Hobby Lobby but boo to the big box retailers. My toddler daughter calls this place the toy store. Its definitely worth the visit.
Cashiers at the counter were totally rude the last 2x I have gone here... lost my business after this last time. You work in customer service, be more respectful to your customers!
Very friendly and helpful staff got exactlywhat I needed
Fantastic local hobby shop that has a great selection and a ton of knowledge!
They have a great selection of model products, as well as some toys if youre with little kids. Theyve got almost all of the Estes rocket products I knew of and even some I wasnt aware of
Wow! These guys are perfect for that small or large gift. You could bring someone to tears with many repop items from childhood or something new and unique. This is really the only true hobby shop left around!
Awesome store and awesomer staff! An RC specialist was very patient and thorough in helping me understand and finally select, the car and components for my sons Christmas present. Very appreciated!
Poorselection of Lionel train stuff their Little Canada store is way more helpful the guy at richfield to busy talking to his buddy will only go to little Canada location
Best of the best!! Staff is VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE and John and the boys will get you taken care of, whatever RC or hobby needs you might have. Solid advice, great selection of TrAXXAS models, RC vehicles, PLANES, drones, drone accesories. Even if you need assembly, wires soldered, or shop time, they will make it happen. I have been using the RICHFIELD Hub Hobby Center for better than 15 years--- Best in the TwinCities, by far!!
Very helpful found everything I needed for RC cars
Very knowledgeable staff really make the experience great.
Great hobby store. Nice people. Good to know i can still get hobby supplies with out resorting to lining Bezos pocket.
Jonathon could not have been nicer or more helpful! I look forward to my purchase soon!
I was looking for a specific toy that my granddaughter wanted for Christmas. I had ordered it elsewhere only to be notified the next day that it was unavailable. I could not find it online anywhere. When I Googled it, Hub Hobby popped up but it said unavailable on their website. I took a chance and called the store on Thursday evening. Lucky for me, Jonathan answered, found that the item was not in stock and offered to check the inventory at their other store and call me back. He located one there, offered to have it transferred to his store and by 11am on Friday it was already on its way to me. Jonathan, thanks to your amazing customer service, my granddaughter will be delighted on Christmas morning!
It was gigantic! I usually go to the one in Maplewood/Little Canada, but I already bought everything from there. It was super cool. Everyone was wearing masks and it was clean and orderly. Big selection.
Its hub hobby, of course it gets 5 stars. My girl and I purchased 4 different rc trucks in like two months. They have awesome selection. Complete knowledge of the hobby and if u bring a rc vehicle in with a question or issue they are not afraid and do not hesitate to jump right in to ur investment and find the problem and inform u what is needed and how to do it. They are amazing.
This store is super fun! And they got alot of those Japanese mech models!
Best local hobby store!
The employees say hello when you walk into the door. Its great to be acknowledged when you walk in to shop. I was asked if I needed help and said yes. I was looking for a part for an older rc car. Sure enough Hub delivered and had the part for my rc car, and not just that the employee (employees ) helped until the part was found also suggested other alternatives. Thank you Hub you guys always do a wonderful job! (Little Canada)
Great store, huge selection! Some rarer items.
Brandon and the crew at Hub Hobby are the Best of the Best.Seriously if youre looking for any type of RC car or toys or games this is the Best place in the entire cities by far.Brandon I cant thank you enough for helping me for every one of my kids birthdays finding them the sweetest toys I can get them.If you call Brandon and order an RC car you can literally have it the next morning.Thank you guys
A surprising selection of anime model kits.
Love this place! So many nostalgic items and a great variety of awesome Traxxas and other high end remote control cars and trucks.
Friendly staff and a huge selection of items! Me and my girlfriend come here specifically for the gunpla which they have a lot of. The only downside is parking but for the most part its great!
I love this place. Great people, lots of hobby options. Well stocked on everything from books and stuffed animals, to rc cars, trains, and models.
Its our absolute favorite store in the twin cities... Great selection, great service. We are there about every weekend!
Nice hobby store
Great hobby store!!!...
Great hobby store
Great service! There are not many of these types of places left. I support them when I can because when it comes to RC stuff online there is always a long wait and you dont know what you are getting. Here, you can talk to experts who will help you find exactly what you need.
Best selection of models and stuff around!!!
Very reasonably priced. Very knowledgeable, see John in the rc section.
Great place. Lots of fun for kids and adults.
Great store with HUGE inventory! R/C cars, boats and planes. The train display is cool and the kids really loved it.
Super selection of toys and craft gear. Helpful staff. Good place to go your gift shopping this year.
Imagine an actual small town hobby store curated by folks you dont just consider pure profit but what people would probably enjoy. Amazingly awesome places for gifts, games and helping your smart kids get smarter.
