  5. Valparaiso Pet & Hobby Shop is Excellent
    I've been reading all these reviews and i'm amazed at what i'm readin. Most of these people must have some kinda axe to grind. I've been in the pet shop many times and everyone has been nothing but heplfull and pleasant. I don't get it? More often than not ,people will complain before they praise. I can only assume that's the case here. This has always been a great store to shop at, don't let th...

  6. Valparaiso Pet & Hobby Shop is local
    Unless you want to go to a chain store for model supplies and their limited selection, this is all there is in the area. Prices are MSRP, though some things are on sale. Its as good as any local shop, i.e. you can find the basics to complete or finish your model. Want the exotic paints and supplies, hit the Internet. I don't do the fish part. I'm not into trains either. They haven't b...

  7. Good productline Very bad employees
    This store has a decent selection of saltwater aquarium fish and supplies. Just dont ask for any assistance. Every person you run into in the "pet" section of the store will act as if they are having a bad day. Very short with you and incredibly rude. If you ask for advice about remedying a problem with your home tank they will do little except blame you. If you know what you want in this sto...

  8. Good location, average selection, terrible employees.
    I've purchased several fish and one model rocket there. I only go there when my kid is going with me because we live close enough to walk the 4 blocks, pulling her in her wagon. Or it is an extremely quick drive if we don't have much time. The selection is ok or average - I've seen better and I've seen worse. The fish seem reasonably healthy and the tanks seem reasonably clean (they're not sp...

  9. Not Nice
    I can't say anything bad about the first section when you first walk in with the trains and such. But as for the back, if your new to say the fish hobby and have questions....I wouldn't even bother. We've gone three times(3rd times a charm)and they were not helpful. I'd ask questions and was lucky if I even received and answer. I can't believe how rude those ladies are. I swore from now on unless...

  10. Rude, Not helpful
    We've gone here a few times, I don't know about the front part(with trains and cars,etc) but the back end of the store....the people are not helpful, they are rude, and if you are new to the hobby..fish..etc I definitely would not recommend. I even try and engage in conversation to get them to elaborate on certain things and to no avail. We swear I don't care how far we have to go, I'd avoid that...

  11. Tight fit
    I think this pet & hobby store could and should be seperated into two different stores two different places. Pet store and Hobby store Too crowded, cramped, outragous prices. Not so friendly workers. Good thing: 90% of the hobby items are trains, so if your looking for a certain train item, this is a good place, just a little pricey. Pet area : small isles, not alot to choose from, and pricey ...

  13. Not a great feel
    THis is a very small and dark place. They dont have a lot of dog and cats to see. But lots of fish and many modles and such. I dont care to go in here cause it is do dusty and feels just dirty
