Wishes Toys Books and Games

Went in on a whim and was pleasantly surprised. Great selection of books and toys. Items range from fidget toys and puzzles for a few dollars, to larger items sure to impress the most discerning toy experts. It was refreshing to enter a store and NOT feel like we were and inconvenience to the staff. Victoria was very friendly and was more than happy to let us wander around and check stuff out while answering the occasional question. More stores and staff like this please!

I had such a great experience at Wishes in the Columbia Center Mall! This toy store is an absolute gem. They have a fantastic selection of both nostalgic classics and current games that kids today would love. I picked up a few old-school board games like The Game of Life and Sorry, and while I probably could’ve found them online for a few bucks cheaper, the experience of browsing in-store, seeing the variety, and getting to support a local business made it so worth it. Their prices were very reasonable for what you’re getting, and they had multiple versions and options for many of the games I looked at. It felt like stepping into a place that really cares about what they offer. You can tell they’re passionate about toys, games, and creating a great experience for their customers. This is the kind of local shop that we need to keep around. If you’re in the area, do yourself a favor and check out Wishes. Whether you’re shopping for a kid, a friend, or your inner child—there’s something special waiting here.

Went in here for fun and loved the selection of older and newer games and toys. Bought 3 things and will go back for more gifts for kids.

Hated my experience there. Some guy kept following me and my friend around the store after we told him multiple times we didn't need help. He kept acting stupid like he was fixing things made us REALLY uncomfortable. I'll never go there again or recommend it to any family or friends.

Love! So much selection! Best new toy store in town. It's clean, organized, and the selection is really diverse. So many unique goodies! Can't wait to go back!

The music in the toy store is HORRIBLE!! There’s endless inappropriate country music which should not be allowed in a toy store!! The younger employees were really nice but some of the other ones gave me… bad vibes. Just an okay experience I guess.

This place is awesome. The people are awesome. I wish I could buy the whole store.
