Creative Kidstuff has a newer and larger location at Minneapolis-St. Paul International (MSP).
The store, previously located on Concourse f at Terminal 1-Lindbergh, is now in the Airport Mall features specialty retail brands such as Alex Art Products, Educational Insights, Hello Kitty, Melissa and Doug, Klutz and Brainquest, as well as items from local Minnesota companies Manhattan Toy, MindWare and Lakeshirts. Children and parents are encouraged to interact with the hands-on displays.
“Creative Kidstuff not only offers a great shopping experience for travelers with children, but also it provides a sense of the innovative retail environment that awaits visitors outside the airport, in the Twin Cities community,” says Jeff Hamiel, executive director of the Metropolitan Airports Commission, owner and operator of MSP. “Travelers who check out the new MSP Creative Kidstuff can check off some of the items on their holiday gift list while they’re at it, making the most of their time at the airport.”
CBR Specialty Retail Inc., an affiliate of HMSHost Corp., licenses and operates the Creative Kidstuff at MSP.
It is open daily from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. and can be found just inside security checkpoint 5 near the entrance to Concourse F.
