Incredible selection of model railroad items and other railroad collectibles spanning across several long aisles! Can easily spend a few hours just browsing through this store! Also has a nice selection of slot cars, planes, and boats for other hobbyists!

Jon Peterson: Great for kids$10 for adults $25 for families and children under 3 are free.

Brian Bahr: Very cool to see!

Ray Morris: A terrific HO Model train outlay that is quite impressive. They have viewing hours and low light night hours too. It is a nonprofit that has been around for decades.

Bryan L. Stene: Nice museum. Good people. Tough that they are only open during the winter.

DG Pilot Aviation Collectibles & More: what do users think?

Chase: , dg pilot is awesome and the employees are wonderful and more than happy to look up prices! The owner is a very nice man and a pilot himself! Highly recommend DG Pilot!

Nate Nickell: Great shop for any aviation and/or travel enthusiast! Nice selection of model aircraft, aviation gifts and local/Minnesota themed gifts as well! The staff is very friendly and willing to answer any questions!

Ahmednur Abdi: high quality products and great customer service.

Liam Stieren: One year ago, I ordered online for the first time and it was delivered soon after as a quality product. After many more orders, it was clear that this is an excellent shop that is worth choosing as your primary supplier of model airplane. Firstly, they have a vast array of models for sale online and in the physical shop. Additionally, their prices are competitive and there are great sales multiple times per year. Lastly, the most important point is that the customer service is top tier. They search the models before shipping to you, preventing you from having to send it back and wait a while longer for a new one to arrive. The DGPilot team always responds to emails in a quick, friendly, and informative manner. After not getting the models on time due to factors out of their control before the holidays, they went above and beyond to provide us with a great customer experience. After visiting the store in-person last week, and I could not believe it, my appreciation for this store soared even higher. The employee was so friendly, and knew a ton about aviation and model aircraft. It was a lovely environment and I am hoping to visit again soon. This shop should be your main supplier of model aircraft or aviation memorabilia, as there are so many great experiences I’ve had with this company.

Andrew Binder: Amazing. The guy let me explore to my perfectionist overthinking desire. Cool to bounce aviation enthusiasm with another gut while looking for new models. Not the biggest inventory ever but great shop for the experience. Worth your time. 1:400 scale much higher inventory than 200 scale.

Chuck Davis: Fun and educational experience.

Isaac Kern: Very nice little shop!

John Fernandez: A great shopping experience. I always make sure to stop by when I'm in the twin cities. Nice selection of new release scale airplane models as well as clothing and other collectible knick knacks. It's nice having somewhere to go and see models in person instead of the usual ordering online. I would recommend DGPilot!

ORD Aviation: This is my go to model plane store and I will be visiting this shop in a couple days

SAN17: I wish I could give 6 stars! Very humble and helpful owner. I just got my SWA 737 max 8 and it arrived in perfect condition! I Highly recommend.

Nathaniel Huynh: Love this place! Although it did not have too many models, I enjoyed coming here today with my uncle to purchase Gemini. The models were in good condition. They had a decent variety of planes to purchase, from 1:200 to 1:400. The guy at the register was nice and helped me with the prices. I would highly recommend this little place to aviation enthusiasts. Their online inventory is huge! I will always cherish the times I came here!

Russell Belk: Very airline chic' ! Best customer service ever !

Abhishek Kotnis: Very respectful and responsive when it comes to answering questions regarding all the models I was asking about. Purchased 5 of them, arrived in perfect condition with great packaging. Would highly recommend and will buy from DGPilot again.

Mary Vaughn: I mostly get the last one!

SA L: These guys are freaking awesome! Super friendly and the way they treat their customer are top notch. I'm so glad I found this shop on Google search. I'll be coming here more in the near future. Definitely my go-to airplane aviation store.

Luis Navarro: Very professional and thoughtful model retailer. I ordered 3 items for the very first time which came packaged very nicely! And although 1 item came defective, I am 100% sure they will take care of me and either ship me a new one or refund me the purchase price. Overall super AWESOME staff! If anyone is looking to purchase model aircraft or other items, DG Pilot is the place to shop whether in person or online!

FireAngelZero (FireAngelZero): I’m from Mass but have been a fan of this store for a while. I placed an order for a TWA 767 and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! Fast shipping! Hassle free shopping and a friendly environment overall! I plan to make a trip to the store sometime in the future, but this is one of the best stores and experience I’ve had. Definitely a 5 star review!

Tower Games: what do users think?

Emerson Maki: Wow! What an amazing store. They have the best selection of Warhammer 40k, AoS, Necromunda, and other games. They also have the best selection of paint and supplies.Not only do they have the goods, but the staff was on another level! One guy, I think the owner, was so helpful in talking with my son and I about everything on the hobby side of 40k. He introduced us to new paints, guides on painting, and was generally very inviting. He welcomed every regular by name who walked in, and set an incredible tone for the store.I will make trips to Minneapolis just to stop here and talk with them again.

Milo: Best local game store in Minneapolis. The workers are kind and attentive, and the sales are great! Love playing games here too. Highly recommend.

Aunt Tassels: Good selection, nice play area, and great staff.

Rey Cavazos: Very nice store people are really polite.

Anthony Bolin: One of the best table top game stores in Minnesota.on road parking is a bit of a pain.

Games Workshop: what do users think?

Sam Rajcula: Josh is an incredible source of knowledge about Games Workshop products, and an amazing "sherpa" for those looking into getting into a new hobby

William Baillargeon: I went in to get some paints today, and I left feeling extremely happy and welcomed into the world of miniature hobbies. Josh was absolutely amazing, and was incredibly knowledgable and passionate about everything Games Workshop, painting, and hobbying. He gave me great tips and ideas for my current project, and I am excited to return to the store again soon to hopefully talk with Josh more! Highly recommend.

Jonathan Beltran: Great place to learn about warhammer!

Devon Flynn: Great location. I had a great time talking with the worker who knew a ton about warhammer and was incredibly helpful with my questions. It's also nice to be close to food as you can get a game in and then grab a bite close by. Whether you need to know about rules or color theory they've got your back

Leventa24: There aren't a whole lot of Games Workshop stores in America and this is the only one within at least 100 miles. For that alone it's a unique experience to stop in and visit. Lets get into the real details that matter though. Everything here is going to be MSRP and unless there is a special offer going on you're not going to be buying anything at a price that is competitive with most online tabletop retailers. But that's not why you go to a store like this in the first place. Whether you've been into Wargaming for a while or you're just getting into the hobby, the Staff at this store are extremely knowledgeable and friendly, and will never hesitate to tell you about events or other interesting things that are going on. There are all sorts of special promotions, free monthly miniatures and all sorts of events that this store is able to participate in that are never going to be an option for Non-Games Workshop brick and mortar stores. That alone makes this place a nearly 1-of-a-kind resource for the local area and worth a visit.

Ryan Henry: Really great staff, great selection, all around wonderful experience!

Travis Barton (TravelingAnvil): This is a little store with a lot to offer. Every time I have gone in the staff have been extremely helpful, they fit a whole lot of models and a few good size game tables into a small footprint. It's a credit to the people of the hobby, but also this particular store, that every time I've gone in the people playing have also been very friendly, openly sharing their knowledge and showing their armies so we could get ideas for ours.

Terran Neumann: Friendly staff, I get paints and brushes for minis here.

Nakota Lanzo: The manager was very helpful and knowledgeable.

Adrian Coughlin: Amazing customer service, Josh is a lifesaver when you need him!

Josh Luce: This is a great place to purchase items for painting miniatures, the staff is knowledgeable, welcoming and Helpful. The prices are pretty spot on for paints and you get your most expensive pot free with a purchase of 10! Great deal!

Level Up Games: what do users think?

Michael Tibstra: Great place for board games and cards!

Laura Heilman: Very diverse selection including comics, manga, video games, ccgs, board games and more. The space is intriguing with many small sectors. The atmosphere is welcoming and the space very clean. Loved what I saw of the play space!

Gwyndolin Sullyvahn: Great little place with good vibes and a good selection of everything from comics to retro video games.

Will P: Such a cool game store! A very cool atmosphere, a good collection of comics and manga, board games, video games, and tons of Magic The Gathering cards. This is the place to go in downtown Minneapolis to make your inner nerd happy!

Emily Ioppolo: Amazing atmosphere and so cozy! This is clearly a neighborhood gathering place. Also had a small but mighty video games section.

Derrick May: Very knowledgeable and helpful.

Forrest Black: Cool little shop below the city streets! Friendly and attentive employees, a cool selection of games and a cool spot to hangout.

Eric Feavel: An awesome shop full of a mix of great thingsTCG, tabletop board games along with video games, comics, and way too many items for my poor wallet lol.

Ben Mcintyre: Great atmosphere and really cool people went in 20min before close with a crowd. Completely interrupted a game. The guy there stayed super helpful and awesome. Will make this a constant stop in the future.

Eriq Duong: This place has everything from board games to card games and video games.

Sam Jacobson: Cool spot downtown, great ambiance and selection of goods. Great for cards, comics, and second hand video games

Josh Schulenberg: Honestly, the two employees I interacted with were some of the nicest game store employees I have ever met. It feels like game/comic book stores always have employees with condescending attitudes, I get how hard it is to deal with people. These employees did not seem judgy or condescending at all, even after they had to get out 4 game discs for me. They were willing to make conversation about magic the gathering and games. Great selection, very well deserved 5 stars.Edit: I forgot to mention the great prices that this store has. The games I bought were for the PS3 and we're between 5-10 dollars.

Wxj Zzzz: So good, i go with my father to buy a fifa 20, the employes are so kind and are good prices

Matthew H.: Great place with every modern game you could want. They even have a section with classic Nintendo games and consoles. Very knowledgeable staff, time disappears when you're in here!
