A quality store with an excellent range of toys and games, including but not limited to Legos, jigsaw puzzles, plushies, models and some craft stuff. I especially like the variety of board games for younger kids. I am a parent that tires quickly of "candyland" and "shutes and ladders". There are simple but fun games, some even where you can add more rules when your kid is more capable and cooperative games which are great if you have a kid who can't handle losing yet, so you can work together to try and beat the game. I've always found the staff very knowledgeable (I'm mostly asking about board games )

I love this store! I know i can go there anytime and find the perfect gift! My grandson loves all the little goodies around the cash register also! The store is very clean, organized and the young people that work there are always smiling, friendly and so helpful!

I’m giving one star only because it’s not possible to give zero or negative stars. Not because of the store itself or its variety, but because of the staff (or whoever is instructing them to act this way). I don’t know if this happens because we’re not Canadian, but you should invest in anti-theft detection gates instead of having people follow us around the store. This hasn’t happened just once, or twice, or even three times — it happens all the time, and unfortunately, I’ve stopped going to your store. I only go in cases of "absolute necessity" (when I can’t find the board game I want on Amazon or at Sentry Box), and every single time I go alone, with my husband, or when my husband goes alone, we feel extremely uncomfortable because of how the staff follow us and watch our every move. Today, I started to wonder if it’s because we’re not Canadian, as I mentioned before, because I saw several Canadian children running through the store grabbing products and no one was following them — yet I noticed foreign children being "monitored" by the staff (not only children, but I could see the difference between Canadians and foreigners adults been monitored or not). Honestly, today was the l ast time I ever set foot in this store.

If you want / need an amazing toy for a child game for an adolescent or a fun adventurous game night for an adult, this is the place to come. They have an amazing selection of anything you/game related. This is not box store but a family run business with owners who care. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. I don’t have enough words to post everything they carry so you have to drop in. I’ve bought everything from pool water balls, fun stuffed animals, brain challenging puzzle games to Locked room game sets. They don’t make toy stores likes this anymore.

went in today, and left feeling extremely upset. my friends and i were very excited about the cute little stuffed animals, and were planning on buying one each. after walking through the store a couple of times throughout our day (which is a big trip for us as we do not live in or near the city) we decided not to support this company, as the worked made us feel extremely uncomfortable and terrible about ourselves. They followed us through the store, gave us dirty dirty looks, and did not make us feel wanted. absolutely in now way is this meant to be disrespectful or rude, but as someone who works in the retail industry, a lot of work needs to be done on the part of this particular team. will mot be coming back if they are working. no one deserves to feel unsafe, especially not on a trip and especially not when they did nothing but want to support a small business.

Discovery Hut is a great store! Staffs are very helpful and kind. They give suggestion. They have good knowledge of what’s new in store Special mention Isaac- he put on hold some Needoh nice cubes and was very helpful. He goes above and beyond the support a store staff can do. This store is greatly managed for sure. Good culture. Great toys for kids and adult alike! They have good selection of quality toys and board games including Deception - They have the stock! My favourite toy store in Calgary!
