Never disappoints when shopping for our own children or family/friends. It is so much fun to explore the store and their rewards program more than makes up for the slightly higher prices compared to online. But there is something about touching and hand picking out a gift for someone. And you can wrap the item yourself in the store! Shop local and enjoy.

Lots of selection, lots of things you cant get at Walmart and Target. Could have used a little picking up they day we were in but they did seem busy and were having a sidewalk sale so it may have just been bad timing. Lots of fidgets and big pop its, good selection of games and toys. We didnt go through it but a big selection of teacher items as well. Would def go back if we were local. Daughter loved this cute little dog that breathes, came with the bed as well.

I have stopped shopping at the Learning post after many years. After experiencing an employee telling myself and my children to put our mask on correctly we have decided to take our business elsewhere. I believe in our freedom of our own decisions. We do not wear masks. We are not afraid of a virus. We will not be told what to do in a business. You have lost our business and we will spread the word in the Homeschool community.

Great place for learning materials, noticed some learning toys i had seen online where marked quite a bit higher but I guess if you didnt want to be shipped to you then it would be worth it, I was hoping they had learning Spanish for children and all they had was childrens books with both Spanish and English, which doesnt really teach basic Spanish.

My wife is a teacher and sometimes I go inside. On my last visit I nearly filled a shopping cart with all the cool stuff(not learning tools in my opinion) but my wife made me put it all back but I got to keep one item. I was like a kid in a candy store

What a cool store! I am an adult with no children but I still had a great time in the store. I hope to have children one day and this store gives me hope for teaching my kids about science, math, geography, art and history and helping them become intelligent and productive adults!

Love this place and all of the toys they have. My kiddo (whos 3) loves checking out all the Schleich toys- so realistic! Our neighbor kids (~12) love the fidget toys, putties, beanie boos, etc. This place is great for kids of all ages!

Nice store with teaching supplies - however mostly science oriented and younger levels. As a foreign language teacher, I found about four posters that were applicable to me. However, a very fun store! Would recommend to elementary level for sure.

Review №41

This store can easily become an addiction. Teachers- there are so many options for adding to the classroom: decor, bulletin board, posters, signs, etc. They have helpful games for each stage of tons of subjects. They have 3d models. About half the store is toys & craft kits.

Learning post is the best place to go if you are looking for anything for a classroom! There is a crazy wide variety of kid games, classroom decorations, and supplies that are impossible to find at any other store. There is no better place to wander with a kid and let them explore their curiosity!
