Where to find Once Upon A Child

What customers say

Went today to buy my baby some clothes. I was shocked with how organized and clean the store is. A lot of clothes were so cheap, I felt SO BLESSED. They have plenty of books and shoes The guy that works there is very kind. Reading the comments seems like people are not happy with selling stuff here.

This store is HUGE compared to other OUAC locations we've been to. There were SO many racks in my kids size. We were able to finish all her back to school shopping in one outing. It seems that all the negative reviews here relate to selling clothes.

★★★★★ — Diana, 2024-07

Buying here: 5 stars Selling here: 1 star Honestly, buying at this store is a 5-star experience every time. I love how well-organized everything is—by size, gender, and color. It makes it incredibly easy to pop in, grab a whole season's worth of clothes for my kids, and be out in under an hour.

★★★★☆ — Mari, 2025-06

The store is organized by gender and color, which made it so easy to find what I needed. They have everything from everyday basics to special occasion outfits, and the quality seems really great. The staff were also very friendly and helpful. A staff member even helped me look for bodysuits, thank you Crystal!
