They have a plethora of wonderful books of all sorts, for all groups of people. Children, teens, single, married. The store was great and I enjoyed browsing.
Above that, there is also the rest of the building. If you are an Adventures in Odyssey fan you will enjoy the rest of the displays and they are great for children. The entire basement is full of exciting places to play. On the upper level they have more resources for families. Best of all, the entire experience is free. This is probably the most exciting place in the area you will be able to visit for free.

Love the play place! I went into the wrong door but a staff member walked me threw the building and helped us get to the play area, the little cafe was fantastic but i wouldn't get a hotdog right before they close the bun was pretty hard.

What a neat experience! Seeing Whitt s End is something the adults have wanted to do for a very long time. The kids will remember it and it will give context and familiarity to the Adventures in Odyssey stories they hear. The rooms are fun and engaging and the bookstore and exhibits are enjoyable and educational. We loved our visit. Be sure to do a recorded radio program to keep as a souvenir!

Went there to work a Banquet event. I work these temporary jobs ocasionally. Most event centers don't treat you all that nice. But at focus on the family they could not have been nicer!! Worked 11 hrs. They made sure I had something to eat twice that day. Treated me like one of there staff and really showed respect for work done. A big and amazing operation.

Focus on the Family is a great place to visit and take the family. I highly recommend the tour! The bookstore is a sweet place to pick up some books, movies, or gifts for loved ones. My kids especially love Whit's End! It's a huge play area for kids that includes a 3 story slide. There's also a quaint little food shop where you can get some ice cream or snacks for the family.

Fun place for the kids
... a bit more packed with kids since it is spring break. Some of the bigger kids that were there from a day camp were a bit pushy with the smaller kids... Not enough adult supervision for the amount of camp kids. Other then that we had a fun time with the grandkids

This is such an enjoyable place to visit with children. We've been more than once. The staff is friendly, and there are many fun-filled activities for the kids. They have a special play area for the 4 and under crowd (with a camp theme), as well as all types of things (from slides to the theater) to keep the older set happy. Their little cafe has good prices. A great spot for a visit where wholesome family values are supported!

Love this place!!! Totally free, fantastic baby and kid area downstairs! They have a giant plane in the basement! Seeing all my characters come to life growing up with wits ends characters are an amazing experience to me as an adult! I also like the reasonably priced icecream shoppe, and foods that kids like, wish there were more healthy options like a fruit and cheese pack, yogurt ect. My kids arnt old enough for the giant 4 story slide, but looks awesome!
