Reviews
Great bookstore. It's got a flavor and vibe for just about every age group. They've got live animals, books, toys, chairs and couches, and the atmosphere is great. Fantastic staff. Parking can get a bit dicey because of how busy that area gets and the store is a little on the tiny side but customers are empathetic and you make it work getting around in the bookstore. Lastly, prices are competitive with other bookstores and places like Target and Walmart if not more so. Highly recommend.
Delightful, whimsical, thoughtfully stocked independent bookstore. Big fan of the year round spooky section and large multilingual section. Get books about little ghosties for the little ones in your life.
Visited on independent bookstore day and purchased a few books for my niece. Also grabbed an advance reader copy of a book for myself (free) which was an exciting bonus.
Primarily a bookstore for younger readers but adults will enjoy a walk through this shop too!
I grew up going to Wild Rumpus. There's just so much magic here. The people are amazing, the animals are even better, and they've never failed to get me the book I want in a timely manner. Best book store I've ever been to.
Great experience for young readers. The store goes through great efforts to provide an inviting experience for children. Great selection. Eclectic atmosphere. Animals!
This shop was steeped in a sense of childhood wonder and undeniable joy! Everything- the book collection, friendly staff, decor and animals- created a magical environment one could happily become lost in.
Very wide range of great books. Toddler story time is the best. Heather and the other reader (I can't remember their name) are so engaging!!!! Thank you!
What a sweet bookstore! Helpful staff, great selection, and a fun, interactive environment for kids. Make sure your little ones use the "mini door within a door" to come inside, and scout the place for the animals, cute nooks and spaces, and of course, wonderful books. There's truly something for every reader here. I didn't need any books for kids this time (I went with a friend who did need a gift for a child) and I still walked out with a couple of stories just too lovely to pass up, that might become gifts for kids at upcoming occasions after I'm done reading them myself...
This place is amazing! If you have children (who aren't allergic to animals), they will lose their minds in this place. They have cats and a chicken roaming around, caged chinchillas, a ferret, rats, doves...It's a zoo/petting zoo and bookstore all in one. Warning that it's hard to park nearby and it gets busy on weekends, but otherwise a good time. The design of the place is something to see. A canoe forging it's way through the ice across the ceiling. The animal cages are in a wonderful little abandoned cabin that looks like you stumbled upon it in the forest. It's like you're in a book. They have a ton of books for kids and a small section of books for adults. Worth it to check out.
