Tom R Baker: My favorite store in Brookside! If you're looking for kids' science toys - this is a great spot to look. Target or Wal-mart is cheaper but this store has the selection and knowledgeable staff to help you find what you need. IMO it's one of a very store in Brookside worth driving in (from outside the neighborhood) to visit. Parking can be a little tricky for this and most Brookside stores. Be ready to walk from your car.

They had puzzles, elaborate Pokémon gaming, Star Wars, Dungeons and Dragons, Hex Guard and Whammer! There was so much more, but I can feel myself turning into character, but I'm not sure what game I would be in! And that is scary to me, lol! Just go and see for yourself it is worth a trip!

Caroline Knecht: This store has the most amazing gifts! Sure, you can get a kid a toy from an ad or from a big box store and they will be happy for a bit. But get them something from Learning Tree and it will become a treasured part of their childhood. We have a big age gap in our kids and they have great toys for my toddler, preschooler and big kid. They also make it easy if you are shopping with the recipient to hide a gift on a shelf for payment and wrapping while the kiddo is off marveling at the many delights.

Nick Stoppel: The Learning Tree makes us feel like we have a family member helping us find the perfect gift. On occasion we’ll described what our nephews are into and Jane, Jonny (owners) or any member of their incredible staff are a massive help narrowing down our options - always a hit! If they don’t have it they will find it, which usually makes it our first and last stop.

Sarah C: They have a wonderful selection of items for children. There is something in every corner. They offer gift wrapping that I have yet to take advantage of but hopefully in the future.

Renana Abrams: Love, love, love The Learning Tree! Whenever we are looking for a new or unique game, this is the first place we go. The owners are always helpful and their suggestions are spot on! Thank you Jane and Jonny for taking such good care of us over the years.

Bentonville Brewing: Wonderful people, wonderful toys! So impressed with the selection they have to offer. I was able to get of my daughters Christmas shopping done in one place.

Madison Blackford: I cannot speak highly enough of this place! Not only do they have the latest and greatest toys but you can shop online on their website if you are not local! All year round you can get your gifts wrapped complimentary even if you buy online! I make trips to Kansas City just to do my shopping at the Learning Tree! Last but not least, they have the friendliest staff!

Lauren Levy: We LOVE The Learning Tree! The store is such a fun place to visit with the kids. They love the little door to go in and out of and the variety of toys is amazing! We always find things no other stores around here have. So many unique toys and books to explore! The employees always have great suggestions for gifts and really know the products well!

You will never find more informed, creative, and quality offerings for your children. Customer service is always top notch. Even through pandemic. Never missed a beat.The Learning Tree staff is knowledgeable and helpful in finding just the right, quality thing. They have helped me send packages around the country for children, and “adult children” with a hit every single time! They are my go-to, and always will be.

J fmdevil: A nice little store, with a nice selection of toys, helping to fill a gap that the lack of Toys R Us desperately needed to fill.Of course some of their toys are over priced, but there is enough selection of stuff that isn't overpriced to warrant a visit.

Steve Wilson: I'm glad to still have this option. Book stores seem to be disappearing

Crazy Droid: Very sad customer service, this store apparently does not care for their sales. Rude employees who kick you out as soon as it hits 9 pm and don’t even want you to buy anything from them just cuz they are closed. Item has two different tags with two different prices which is ridicules and employee rude about it. First and LAST time I visited this store.

Samantha Spicer: My favorite place to be!!!

Joey Donut: Barnes and Noble is a well-known bookstore chain that has been around for decades. As someone who is an avid reader, I have visited many Barnes and Noble stores over the years. While I have always found the staff to be incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, I have to say that their romance selection is lacking when it comes to heat.The staff at Barnes and Noble are always willing to offer recommendations and help customers find the perfect book for their needs. They are knowledgeable about the latest releases and can often offer insights and recommendations that you won't find anywhere else. However, when it comes to their romance section, I have found that the selection is lacking in steamy and passionate reads.While Barnes and Noble has a large selection of romance novels, I have found that many of them are more on the sweet and gentle side. While these books can be enjoyable in their own right, sometimes you just want a book that will make your heart race and your palms sweat. Unfortunately, the selection at Barnes and Noble often lacks these more intense and steamy reads.It's not that Barnes and Noble doesn't have any romance novels that are passionate and steamy - they certainly do. However, I have found that the selection is often limited and not as diverse as I would like. There are certainly some great books to be found in the romance section, but if you're looking for something with a little more heat, you may need to look elsewhere.That being said, there are still many reasons to visit Barnes and Noble. In addition to their knowledgeable staff, they have a wide selection of books in a variety of genres. Whether you're looking for the latest bestseller or an obscure indie title, you're sure to find something that interests you at Barnes and Noble.Additionally, Barnes and Noble often hosts author events and book signings, which can be a great way to meet your favorite writers and get a personalized copy of their latest book. These events are often well-attended and can be a great opportunity to connect with other readers in your community.In conclusion, while Barnes and Noble is a great place to shop for books in general, their romance selection does lack the heat that many readers are looking for. While there are certainly some passionate and steamy reads to be found, the selection is often limited and not as diverse as one would hope. However, the knowledgeable staff and wide selection of books in other genres make Barnes and Noble a great destination for book lovers.

Amela Parks: Awesome place.

Birgit Post: So happy to visit Barnes and Noble in Zona Rosa. Great choices, welcoming place, knowledgeable and helpful staff.

CrowsMob: The staff that deals with the books are nice, with a few exceptions.The Starbucks people however are just rude. There was a line that was standing around for 7 minutes, when I saw that I asked a staff member if the Starbucks was closed. She literally sighed out loud and slowly walked over behind the counter. Then while taking orders she was very rude and messed up 2 drinks in a row. After that I decided not to get the Starbucks and just finish my shopping.

Randall Paul: We were looking for young children's books and a sales associate was VERY helpful and courteous. Found a great selection and were very pleased. Thank you so much!

Donald Wall: Wonderful coffees and every kind of book, magazine you could want.
