Go outside and get curious.

I visited Brain Spice for the first time last week to get a gift for a young niece of mine. I was impressed with the diverse range of interesting and intellectual items for children as well as adults. Absolutely fantastic store! I was served by the most delightful person, Merrilyn who made my shopping experience memorable. She took the time to understand who I was buying for and made some fantastic recommendations. The gifts were a hit with my niece, this is a business that I would definitely visit and purchase from again.
Wonderful range of interesting and unusual games and toys. A good place for teachers to shop as well, backed up by friendly and knowledgeable service. Such a rare store in these times.

This place is a gem. Brings out the big kid in me and that's priceless. And the service is warm welcoming and funny. Great little shop!
My girlfriend introduced me to this store, I've asked for her hand in marriage. Haha, but in all seriousness this is a terrific place, if you can't find something in here to keep you occupied then you're doing something wrong... Huge variety of spice to keep the grey matter from shrivelling up. An asset to Bunbury.
Fantastic selection of puzzles board games and educational games for kids. Visiting from Perth and we will be back for this shop again!
