American Carnival Mart — Local services in Creve Coeur

This place should have an expensive membership or not be open to the public. Nothing ever good happens here.

When my wife isn't around, I take my kid there, things always go terribly south. We come home with huge inflatable dinosaurs, 4 foot tall stuffed animals and all kinds of crazy items. It is one my favorite places to visit. I really have no business going there. I spend a bunch of money and me and my kid have a blast. They have all kinds of cool items, everything from cheap carnival candy of unknown origin, to all the prizes you see at carnivals. I mean, really if you want to win something at a carnival, don't spend the money at the carnival, take your kids here instead, its way more fun. They also have carnival food (churro mix, funnel cake mix, etc) and everything you need to make snow cones. I have a snow cone machine, so its nice to have a local place to get the snow cone juice. They have a huge selection of balloons and Halloween related items.

This is a great local spot, its worth going even if you don't really need anything. Just walking around the store is a ton of fun. I do challenge you to leave without buying...

They absolutely exceeded my expectations. Last week I had ordered a bundle of Pokémon stuffed animals for my sons birthday party this Saturday, I ordered them late because my first order with another company fell through and couldn’t be fulfilled. I wrote a note in my order asking if there’s any way to ensure they’re here by August 1st and if we could have a variety of the 4 different Pokémon that were listed.

Immediately after placing my order I received a phone call from their customer service, a very nice man who told me he would make sure they got out ASAP and made it here in time for the party. I got the order yesterday, and on top of giving me a bunch of each Pokémon listed, there are about 7 different kinds, Instead of 4, all highly favored Pokémon and a couple of each one! I think this will be the kids favorite part of the party when they get to adopt their Pokémon, and it’s thanks to this company and their amazing customer service!...

Edit** I received an unexpected call from a wonderful woman at American Carnival Mart and after talking with her; She gave me a credit for the Spikey Yoyo balls. I then went on to order again but this time I ordered inflatable mallets and Stickers. Shipping was again phenomenal but this time the Products were amazing as well. Thank you So much for fixing the issue and exceeding my expectations. I will be ordering often!

Shipping was phenomenal but the products were mediocre. I was disappointed. We ordered 100 Spikey Yoyo balls and about half of them Our not useable. They are deflated and there is no way to fix them. I needed them for a very important fundraiser and I was disappointed to...
