Wild Rumpus is great! What a fun bookstore for kids and adults alike. Oozing with imagination and whimsy, great selection of books, and the kids always love interacting with the resident cats, birds, and lizards. Love this place and we’ll be back again and again.

Awesome selection of kids books. The atmosphere is real cool. Probably one of the greater selection of kids books I found.

The only down side to this lovely little bookstore is the parking. My 10 year old granddaughter and 3 year old great niece both enjoyed it equally. Booker T. Jones, the Wild Rumpus cat, was a huge hit!

Such a gorgeous and wonderful shopping experience. Bookstore is mainly geared towards younger and teen readers, but they definitely have a lot of options across (and beyond the spectrum). The store's decorations are so ridiculously cool with a ceiling decorated to look like cracked ice, a magical bathroom, and a haunted looking shed. Truly perfect. Thank you for existing, Wild Rumpus.
