I bought an R/C truck with a broken part from the factory and their service team was top-notch helping out with it. Please keep on truckin’. We need awesome hobby shops with fun people around!!

Awesome place. My husband & I enjoy taking the kids here & shopping for fun stuff to do as a family along with our own individual hobbies. I could spend hours & hundreds of dollars here easily. I can never get enough of this place.

First time in this store. Found great items for our O Gauge train village. And grabbed some toys for stocking stuffers. Nice Woodland Scenics section. Stopped in to take a peek - stayed for an hour! Staff were very friendly and helpful.

RJ and the rc crew that work there embody the definition of customer service. Very knowledgeable and kind, going out of there way to make sure that all of your questions are answered and even willing to help you wrench on your RC car or truck when they have a little free time. BEST HOBBY PLACE AROUND! GREAT JOB!!

Such a fun place for any age! So many great toys, games and fun hobbies. A great place to find gifts for the holidays or birthdays.

These folks are an excellent example of customer service! Ive been there several times for several products. Always found what I have needed and was given valuable insight and information from their staff.Most recently I had an RTR RC boat that had a fitting break for the water intake. I brought it in and had help right away! Rather than sell me an $8 tube of glue that I would use two drops from, they took it in back, applied the glue for me and my boat is back in business. A great crew and business. They have my referral any time!

This place is such an amazing resource for my family. Every time we go we find new things to do together that aren’t screen-based. Not many places left like this, so support them as much as possible! Their prices are the same or lower than Amazon and you can check their inventory in their website before venturing into the store. They even have a hand sanitizing station at the entry and ask everyone to sanitize before they shop, which is a great way to keep browsing safe (and trust me, you’ll want to pick up everything.) The workers are always friendly and helpful. Love this place!

Last time I will go to this store. Employee in the rc section treated me like I was stupid. I was just asking him simple questions. Told me I didnt set up my car right thats why it broke and that I had whiskey throttle. Little did he know I just purchased that car a few days ago ready to run and it was all factory setting.

They have a great selection of RC cars, more models than Ive seen anywhere and a ton of other interesting things. Not much on the way of role-playing in their games section though. The staff were friendly and they had people to help.

What a great hobby store! Word on the street is that they are the largest in the midwest. I first came with my parents over 30 years ago and now Im bringing my kids....and its the same great store with incredibly helpful employees! Tons of inventory. This is the package deal!

Review β„–16

I had driven by many times but never during store hours. I finally stopped in, I walked in the door and was amazed!! They have EVERYTHING! From simple old school toys to trusted brands line aisles and aisles. They have tons if model making supplies. Some items like MSC spray that Ive only been able to find online. They have Calico Critters, Breyer horses, tons of fun art supplies suitable for adults and kids. The staff is AMAZING! He walked with me and showed me things, answered all my questions, looked for items I thought might be carried. I spent over an hour just wondering around looking at all the great stuff. I bought a few items, and signed up for their frequent shopper card. They were out if one of the items Ive only been able to buy online, so they took my name and number to notify me when it comes in. It was available at a different store if I needed it now. It was a great time wandering the clean organized aisles of amazing toys and hobby items. This store is SPECTACULAR! The staff is knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. This is store that for sure will become a favorite! Its a little wonderful diamond tucked into a strip mall!

Thought of this as a parts store. But if you walk into a parts store explaining that the part is incorrect. I’m sure you get better than a shrug and a β€œtoo bad”.Un believable Service like that makes online look really good

Review β„–24

Gave up after being on hold for 10 minutes just to see if an rc airplane was in stock, someone answered but transferred me to rc which never picked up. Have had issues before with them but this was the final straw, go to other local hobby shops. I’ve been in the hobby for over 20 years now and I can tell you Hub hobby isn’t there to help you, they just want your money.

Were puzzle freaks, and this place SLAPS! Great selection of puzzles of different styles. They have tons of stock if youre into model building, RC, board games, educational toys, science experiment kits, crafts, various hobby/toys... Great place to take your kids, to shop for nieces/nephews/grandkids, or for that person who loves board games or models. Its a super cool store!

What an awesome little gem of a store. There is a wide selection of many hobby, craft, and board games. Prices are very reasonable, comparable to what you might see online for similar items. Staff was all very personable, friendly, and taking proper public health precautions. Definitely has the friendly local hobby store vibe in every way I like.

I almost bought an R/C car on eBay, but decided to support a local shop, and Im glad I did! They took the time to walk me through everything as it was a large purchase for me. The guy helping me completely understood, and didnt rush me. I used to go here as kid, and Im happy to see that it hasnt lost its charm, character, or small town feel. We need to keep places like this going not just because theyre a local business, but theyre GREAT at what they do.

Review β„–52

I was just waiting for a friend to purchase a $500.00 remote control car and him consider purchasing a $1000.00 one. Parking was plentiful and the employees readily available to assist but didnt hover over me as i wondered thru the store. Lots of cute and unique stuffed toys at reasonable prizes, the store is well organized and had a nice variety of puzzles, remote planes, trains and cars. I think if you have a few people that are collectors or like relatively unique toys, good place to shop. However, i have since learned, some of the remote cars require extra gadgets in order for you to go home and utilize your 5 hundred dollar toy. Make sure, before you open, returns if profuct is defective, ask a lot of questions, buy with caution. What I know is if you buy, open package, you may not be able to return and could cost you a lot more money. Great store but buyer beware.

Hub hobby always brings me joy even as an adult. Play Mobile has been in high demand in our family during Covid time and HH has a great selection as well as lots of other toys to pick from. A great stop for aunts, uncles, grandparents to grab toys or a gift card for holidays and birthdays.

I love this place. I myself have many hobbies. Legos, MTG, hotwheels, RC cars, and much more. This place has it all! The store is well kept and organized. The employees are energetic and very friendly. Ive been in more then once needing advice on how to fix my RC car. It usually doesnt take them more then 10 minutes to successfully find and address my problem. The store isnt exactly in my area, but its well worth the drive every time!

When I was a kid my grandpa used to take me in here often to pick out a fun little project to work on. This place to a kid is magical. Coming to the store are some of my most amazing memories. Its fun to stop in from time to time and get something fun to play with now that Im an adult.

My offspring just got into Gundam and I was told about this store. All the tools, paints and accessories one could need for any number of different hobbies from rc cars, to plane models and so much more. All located in one location. I highly recommend if you are a hobbiest, or looking to get into one.

This is like my favorite new toy store. They have FANTASTIC toys and hobby stuff. Its so refreshing to see such a variety of toys that arent character based. Little plastic animals, metal die cast cars and planes, stuffed animals, games, play mobile, legos, crafts, science experiments, models... tons of cool stuff. Great for stocking stuffer gifts.
