From the very first day we opened our doors, Learning Express has been proud to be counted amongst the Columbia family of homegrown local businesses. Our two stores are conveniently located within 12 miles of the Columbia city center, in the towns of Lexington and Irmo. To the west of Columbia we are located in the Lexington Pavilion Shopping Center at 5135 Sunset Boulevard in Lexington and to the northwest of Columbia, we can be found at 11107 Broad River Road in Irmo (near I-26 just off Peak at Exit 97).

We take great pride in calling ourselves "Your Neighborhood Toy Store" because we are just that: a hub of activity, a meeting spot for kids and families, a place where we get to know you by name and where going the extra mile for you is the norm. We go to work each day to provide you, our neighbors, with a warm, friendly environment in which to shop, meet, and learn. We seek out unique toys that catch our eyes for lots of play value. Our store is filled with learning toys, infant toys, baby toys ... unique toys that will delight children of all ages.

Whether you’re stopping by for a birthday gift on the go, that extra-special cherish-forever Christmas present, or the latest must-have collectible, Learning Express will always have the perfect toy. The products on our shelves are the crème de la crème of the industry, carefully evaluated for safety, child-tested for fun, and guaranteed to help you raise smart, healthy kids.

Our award-winning manufacturers include: Alex, American Girl, Calico Critters, Creativity for Kids, LEGO, Melissa & Doug, Playmobil, Project Runway, Scientific Explorer, Sticky Mosaics, Ugly Doll, and many more. Complementing our selection of educational toys is an assortment of fashion accessories, jewelry, party favors, cards, and customizable gifts.
