The Whiz carries lots of toys for kids of all ages. It's a fun store to browse for birthday gifts because there is such a variety (and plenty of funny gag gifts). On the other hand, it is harder to find what you're looking for if you're too picky. We went looking for toy trains, and found a nice selection, but not exactly what we wanted. We were impressed at how many "educational" type toys there were from children...like pretend food and science kits. \r
Their prices might seem high, but compared to other similar type gift stores, they are reasonable. There are plenty of items in all price ranges. \r
In addition to gifts, the store also has a collection of gaming books, supplies and miniatures. The back of the store boasts two rooms devoted to gaming. When we visited on the weekend, there was a tournament going on and lots of excited teens. \r
The staff is very friendly & knowledgeable and lets you browse without intruding. Plenty of parking in the lot in front of the building complex.
