My two year old and I love to visit wonderland!! We come in to browse on the weekends and often attend their story time. They have so much great programming for kids of all ages. It’s such a gem to have in our neighborhood!

I love discovering fun and unique independent book stores as I'm traveling, and Wonderland Bookshop certainly checks those boxes! Such a great selection of books for kids and adults all tucked into a charming little shop. When I visited today I was (briefly) the only one there, so I was able to chat and share book recommendations with the delightful Lily. Overall just a lovely experience. I will definitely return!☺️📚📖📚

This delightful bookstore is such a treasure for our community! The inviting space is perfect for browsing and has a cheery light filled vibe. Whether you’re looking for a gift or your next read, give Wonderland a try. I was looking for a gift for a new baby and had so many chubby paged books to choose from. Then, the manager wrapped it up beautifully for me-no charge. I love supporting independent bookstores and this one will be added to my list.

A busy busy little place with tons of options. I love the curated feel of the adult section which made it easier for me to pick out my next read rather than scrolling through my Goodreads. My 13-year-old who loves fantasy found three new books and even my middle child who is not as much reading found something that interested her. The atmosphere is gorgeous and I can imagine that we will spend lots of time here!

Large selection of children’s books, with something for all ages and reading ability. Helpful staff. Also has a few puzzles, games, and limited candy options. The setup and decor is well conceived and visually engaging for children. A rolling ladder is available for books on higher shelves. Chess board with chairs is available for anyone looking to play. Clean bathroom available in the store. No parking lot but plenty of street parking available within one block.
