Learning Express Toys & Gifts — Local services in Raleigh

Athalia is absolutely amazing! I was visiting family in the area and was a bit short on gifts for the grandkids—She is incredibly informative, thoughtful, and truly empathetic with customers and their kids. I was so impressed with how she paid attention to what my child was drawn to and helped us find the perfect toy for the holidays. Her dedication and kindness made our experience so enjoyable.

That said, it’s a bit disappointing to see that the management doesn’t seem to fully appreciate the talent they have in Athalia. As I was leaving I could see them talking negatively to her. She’s a standout employee who deserves recognition for her exceptional customer service and talent in finding the right toy for all ages! I hope this review gets you a raise for your efforts or simply—the recognition you deserve!

Thank you, Athalia, for going above and beyond—you are...

i've always loved learning express because the store itself is great - selection of toys, accessories, etc. However, i recently walked into this location with my friend (we are both 16) and was asked to leave because we are under the age of 18. first of all- being 16 years old, i was able to drive myself to this location with my liscence, but i wasn't able to walk into a toy store without being accompanied by an adult? (make it make sense) second, why must you be over the age of 18/ minor with adult accompaniment to enter this store, it just seems like an interesting rule to me (it could at least be a 16+ rule i feel) and especially because i was informed that this rule was implemented recently. i dont know what this is about but i just found it frustrating due to the fact that i'm not a child and i can enter a store...

The best kids toy store. I used to be a teacher so this is where I come first to buy birthday gifts. They have such a huge selection of cool toys that are also educational.

They have a nice variety of science experiments in just about all age levels. Also, some of the coolest electronics. I usually go straight for the sale rack because they have really good sales when they mark something down. It usually at least 50% off. I went in to buy a toy for my niece and saw a how-to-artbook that taught kids how to do simple sketches. I had been looking for one of those for my daughter. She is young but loves to draw.

The cashier was so sweet they wrapped it in a present for her too. Oh yeah the best part about this store....they have FREE GIFT WRAPPING all yearlong. Its such...
