Marbles:The Brain Store

Warning! If you are not sure, Do not buy things at this store. They won’t let you return them. I have never seen a store which does not take returns for a product purchased a week ago. Pretty bad policy. Avoid if you can.

With six nieces and nephews, I am running out of ideas for all their birthday and holiday gifts! But Marbles: The Brain Store has a nice selection of cool, challenging toys, games and puzzles for different age levels. I definitely recommend checking the store out to see everything in person; however, I was disappointed by their signage. Their sales are often vague and misleading. For example, I picked up two items from the BOGO (buy one, get one 50% off) section and an item off another sales shelf, only to be told at the register that the sale/​discount didn’t apply to any of them. Having battled the holiday crowds to get to this point, I really didn’t feel like leaving and ordering off of
. Be prepared to say, «No,» as you can find the same items online — often at a clear and real discount — that can be conveniently shipped to each of those nieces and nephews! Not the best way to win my loyalty…

Very interesting store. if you want to buy toys for your kids, buy these toys that are good for brain development. i was intrigued

You can literally spend hours in here. their brain toys will keep you entertained and are pretty challenging. As with all toy stores, it is pretty disorganized but do watch your steps as there’s marbles and various toy pieces on the floor.
There’s really no comparison with Toys R Us as this place is a specialty store. This stuff here ain’t cheap but they look pretty durable.

They do have good toys but with all false promises.
I bought mini Squigz and sales person said that it will stick to 8 surface.
All waste, it hardly remain sticky for a minute as result you cannot make any structure of it.
Next day when we went to return it, they were rude and store manager was not available.
They refused return item as policy said that it should be unopened.
Hello! but toy is defective dear then why NO return?
They showcase all fancy toys but I doubt how many will work?
Never ever will go to this shop and trust me there are many other big stores with similar toys and at cheaper rates and with easy policies.

I first discovered the store at the Mall of America in Minneapolis and was so excited to stumble upon this location when I was in the Valley Fair Mall. they have a great collection of thought-​provoking toys and games, most of which is available for in-​store demo. Prices range from a few dollars to a few hundred dollars so it’s pretty easy to find gifts for yourself or others to match any budget.

Saw this store on the way to the Lego store. They had the new BB8 droid which recently came out, and I went to check in the droid and other stuff. They have really good collection in the store, for the stuff they represent. A lot of toys are on display to be played there, which is really helpful to decide if that game is suitable for you or not, and if you enjoy playing it. The staff working there are nice and helpful too.

I was on my way from the Tokyo Japanese Lifestyle store to the Lego Store when I passed by this brand new store that sells puzzle games. I noticed the store because they had a Shoot the Moon game displayed outside the store and a couple was standing there trying to roll the ball furthest. I walked inside to see what else this store had to offer. I love how the store is very inviting with several displays allowing you to try out the games before you purchase. We spent quite a bit of time looking at everything because these aren’t the usual games you’ll find at Toys R Us or Target. The games are fun and intelligent. They’re designed to stimulate your brain and make you think. Most of them are about problem solving. These games will appeal to all ages, both adults and kids. The store encourages you to try the games on display and they’re helpful at explaining them when you’re not quite sure how they work. My 10 year old was delighted with the games. It just shows that «educational» games can be fun. My daughter really loved the Catapult, which you use to fling «braindrops». It was great how the staff didn’t mind customers flinging these braindrops across the store. They’re soft squishy balls so it wouldn’t hurt if you happen to hit another browsing customer. I definitely see myself stopping by again for birthday and Christmas gifts.
