Some things to consider during your visit:
-
Understanding the Mystery Element: The core appeal of blind boxes is not knowing which figure you'll receive, which means there's no guarantee of getting a specific character. Help your teen understand this aspect of the hobby before purchasing, as some may find the uncertainty frustrating rather than exciting.
- Consider Starting Small: If your teen is new to blind box collecting, consider purchasing just one or two boxes during your first visit to gauge their interest before committing to building a larger collection, as this hobby can become expensive quickly.
- Parking and Access Planning: While the Alexis Nihon center is directly connected to Atwater Metro, if you're driving, be aware that downtown parking can be limited and comes with fees. The metro connection makes this an ideal destination for teens who can travel independently via public transit.
