Once Upon A Child is a secondhand store in Indianapolis, IN. You’ll find it at 1210 W. 86th Street, Indianapolis, IN 46260. It’s one of 60 secondhand and resale shops we track in Indianapolis.

The store keeps hours seven days a week, including Sunday, staying open as late as 8 PM on its longest days. Thrift hours change seasonally and around holidays, so a quick call before a long drive is worth it.

Secondhand stores buy or take in used goods and price them to move, so the floor changes constantly; expect a mix of everyday clothing, housewares, and the occasional standout piece priced well below retail. Once Upon A Child buys gently used items outright for cash or store credit, so you can sell as well as shop; see our Once Upon A Child guide for what it takes and how payouts work.
