In Short
Hand painted recycled cardboard signs hang over well-stocked aisles, making toys and games easy to find. Therapist Adelia Rickert wanted healthier choices for children and founded the shop in 1988, which is now run by her brother, Allen, who neatly sums up their vision, "We're multi-cultural, feminist and low on electronics." For a varied ethnic selection, don't miss the life-size infant dolls and the beanbag cuddly babies in bright jumpsuits and caps.

The Inside Scoop

  1. The Extras - This is also a great place for kids' art supplies at reasonable prices.

A fun and unique specialty toy store.

by Michelle Q. | insider_guru Insider Guru | Rank: 503

This store is a lot of fun to browse. We first stopped by to buy a Kettler tricycle for my son. They had a good price. I've been back for lots of other toys, brands such as Melissa & Doug, Thomas the Tank Engine (they have two tables set up), Calico Critters and more. Staff is very friendly and helpful.

Great Fun

by Susanne C. | insider_expert Insider Expert | Rank: 2,152

wow. This store can bring out the kid in anyone. i stopped in one day when i was looking for a get well present for my auntie. My auntie loves cats and i thought that she would just be tickled with a couple jigsaw puzzles featuring cats as cute as a button. You can't help but smile when you see the puzzle that has a tabby cat dressed in a fancy pinafore . This store is jam packed with the best toys and games and you will not want to ever leave! Did i mention that the staff is warm and welcoming?

Wonderful!

by Elizabeth M. | insider_expert Insider Expert | Rank: 10,423

I could spend hours in this store and I am an adult. I found many of the toys I enjoyed as a child. Any age would have fun in this place. There are crafts, stuffed animals, learning toys, puzzles, kites, marbles and on and on. The staff is very nice and parking is easy.

Great collection of unique toys!

by Sharie H. | insider_expert Insider Expert | Rank: 6,020

This store has an amazing collection of unique toys! There are many toys that I have looked high and low for and could only find here. Their selection of educational toys is impressive and their prices are reasonable. The staff is helpful and friendly.

Good to see the store still there!

by Alswede

I visited this store frequently back in the late 80's when it first opened. Loved the concept then, loved the toys. Moved away in early 90s and just learned that it is still there! can't wait to visit again! Happy for the family that it worked out so well.

Pros: User friendly

None better

by Paulypfunk

Simply the best toy store I have ever been to. My boy loves just going there to hang out even if we don't buy anything. Great selection of good quality toys from all over the world. Also the place is low on the sort of high sheen, overly marketed, pieces of plastic that dominate the bigger chain stores.

Pros: extremely diverse selection, good quality toys.

Cons: ???
