Great selection of innovative and educational toys. Always find something unexpected. Excellent service and friendly staff. And great to support an independently owned store! read more

Best educational toy store I've encountered in the SF Bay Area. From Five Little Monkeys in Burlingame to various Barnes & Nobles' toy sections, I find most stores have the same products I already know of from Amazon. This store had Melissa & Doug educational learning mats, Bruder Caterpillar branded construction vehicles, die cast cars - and gift wrapping for everything. Additionally, the store was an experience for kids - Haba train sets, Calico Critters homes, this was better than Disneyland for many toddler aged kids. I should've taken more pics of this place - mine don't do it justice for the expansive, modern, clean layout. read more

An amazing selection of puzzles and learning toys. I love bringing my 5 year old here to pick out something he can't find at any big box store. read more

This store is delightful! It brought back many of my childhood knick knacks as well as more modern days toys. From those plastic water toys that you push a button to have water pressure push rings to stack on plastic rings to creating model robots. There's greeting cards, fairy toys, books, train sets, realistic looking jellyfish lava lamp...you're bound to find something here if you're looking for a gift. Employees are very patient and helpful. The store is easy to navigate and it's nice that it's located right next to Macy's (in case you need a restroom). Definitely recommend checking it out if you're in the area! read more

Helpful staff and great selection of gifts and toys for kids. I appreciate the gift wrapping service too!

A Child's Delight is the best educational toy store in Marin. The staff is very helpful and friendly. I would compare it to Mr. Mopps in Berkeley. read more

In an effort to shop at local small business instead of online for my kid's first bday, I schlepped here in the cold rain and battled for a parking spot. The section in the store was ok, definitely would have bought a few things if the salespeople had looked up from their busy work. Call me old fashioned, but I do believe that a quick hello should be a minimal expectation for making purchases. Left without buying anything. read more

While the variety and selection of toys was nice the owner followed us around the store as if we were going to steal something. I am a 8 year army vet still currently serving on active duty and I felt completely disrespected. read more

This is a really cute store with an overall great variety of toys. My grandson loves it and we have made several trips in these past few weeks. It makes for a nice outing. I have been able to buy him some top selling learning toys and games. I am only giving a four star review opposed to a five because the girl working during one of my transactions didnt know how to manually put in my credit card. When I asked for her help she was a bit reluctant to help and did not seam to care. Thankfully I had another card or I would have had a very disappointed boy! This is important skill so I think it should be addressed. Overall though really great tore. read more

Super rude service by the manager who told me "do you think you can afford dinner now?" After I simply went to check the price of an item in the store.. wild! read more

If you need a gift on the spot then this is a perfect place to stop! Little girls and boys were in heaven with squeals of delight and intrigue as they tried to decide what item to invest more of their energies. The three female employees were bebind the sales counter periodically catching the eye of the adults and giving them warm cheerfing welcome as if they were friends with and everyone of them. The Playmobil stock has lots of choices,and styles which was nice to see. There were old fashion board games. The kits werevery cooly. The Magic Trick boxes and how to build dragon paper airplanes. So many items in the store that I could not decide what I liked best myself..I did like the learning sets that showed how electricity worked and such. Some of the prices were upwards of$20 over the price I would get online. read more

A Child's Delight - One of the many neat items they sell! - Toy Stores Near Me - Corte Madera, California

I was shooping for my nephew's and stopped in here, what a great place, They have a good variety of toys that are just not found at the Big Box toy stores, and they are made to last which is more than I can say for other items I have found. I only wish this was my first stop, as I had picked up some items elsewhere that were sub-par compared to what I found here. On my next round of toy shopping I'll be coming here first. read more

One of several children's stores in the Corte Madera Town Center mall, but this is truly a boutique toy store. Find everything from Breyer and Thomas the Train to Groovy Girls and various European wood toy brands. Hello Kitty area, lunchbox and music areas. Too much is crammed into the space, so shopping is frustrating. A little of everything but their San Rafael location is much friendlier and less cluttered. Not a place to go to for bargains if you're on a budget. More for collector toys or toys that can be handed down. read more

I love this store! They have affordable toys and allow children to play in the back room. Great store with wonderful help! I love Betty!

My son & I love this store! Lots of cool toys for children of all ages. Some you probably can't find at Toys R Us, Target, etc. They have toys on display for the young ones to play with (duplo table, train table, etc) I can never pass this store without my 2 year old wanting to run in & head towards all the trains! It can get a bit overwhelming sometimes when there's a lot of people in the store. The aisles are tight which make it slightly difficult to maneuver a stroller. The staff is helpful when you have questions otherwise they kind of just let you browse in peace. Which I personally like. Not a fan of pushy sales associates. If you're on a budget & looking for a bargain, this is probably not a place you'd want to stop by first. After all it is a boutique. But I assure you, you will find something cool & fun for any child. read more

I love a good toy store. As much as big box stores like Target or Toy R Us have so much stuff and pretty good prices, it is always the little stores that stock the cool toys for younger kids. This store is quite the gem in Corte Madera with lots of quality toys that provide a lot of learning for kids whether they realize it or not. Just simple fine motor skills being used by having a few more moving parts (that don't snap off after 5 minutes) can really help in early development. Prices are a little higher but for more quality. This is a great place to send Grandparents shopping! The staff was friendly and helpful. While most of them looked like they didn't have kids, they still tried to give me options on a style of Euro toy I was looking for they didn't have. Some of the aisles are tight, but I will gladly take that to find good toys that not everyone else is using for my kiddo! read more

There is another store at the Northgate Mall in Terra Linda/San Rafael. These are fairly small stores compared to a ToysRUs, but they do have a wide selection of toys and a lot of items on that cater to the creative mind. read more

OK toy store... This is not my favorite toy store in Marin, but it is large and fairly well stocked. I find their prices high, but not crazy-high. read more

Thank you so much to the owner, Jonathan, who took such time and care in assisting me in buying a gift during this time! His thoughtful attention to detail is unmatched! Shop here for all your little one's gifts!!! read more

I've come full circle with Child's Delight. When we first moved to the area I fell in love with the merchandise - they've got a wonderful assortment of Euro toys here (some stuff that reminded me of my child hood toys). Seriously, it's one of the best selections around for quality-made toys. However, after a couple not so favorable experiences with one employee in particular I was not so keen on the shop. However, what made me come back full circle is that the owner, once aware of the issues immediately contacted me and addressed me concerns. (Apparently the employee I referred to is no longer part of the Child's Delight team). As the saying goes, good help is hard to find - so you can't blame a business for making a hiring mistake. However, you can judge them on how they deal with it. And I really appreciate the genuine concern the owner has about running a top notch establishment. And the team they have now is great - both my husband and I have enjoyed our recent visits. So if you're looking for a great selection in toys and good service - this is the place to go in Marin! read more

How do you get to the awesome toy store? You have to go across the big red bridge, though the rainbow tunnel, to get to the awesome toy store. Fun toy store, filled with good quality toys. We never leave this place without buying something. Today it was sand toys and a toy ambulance. Good selection of dolls, Thomas trains, developmental toys, crafty stuff, outside toys, fairy-themed stuff, etc. - and lots of classics that you don't see around so much anymore. Remember Bristle Blocks? They sell'em here. I always find some cool new thing here that I haven't seen anywhere else. Today I saw some finger paint packaged in a pump, in the arts and crafts section - someone's thinking, as my mother would say. Lots of toys on display so the kids can give them a trial run and then beg you for them. read more

Mostly Phenomenal independent, conscious, thoughtful store, packed to the gills with toys you will not regularly find at big box stores, like Toys 'R Us, but also a place with great staples too, like model horses and puzzles. read more

Great little boutique toy store. I was looking for hand puppets for my niece and looked everywhere including toys r us and couldn't find anything. I'm glad this place had a few hand puppets and what was great is they wrap the toy for you. read more

It's a good toy store with great quality items. I found the selection of books to be a little bit lacking though. Not enough of them, I think. Trains, cars, small model animals and knights in armor, blocks of all kinds, dolls and on and on. Do I think a special trip is needed to come here? No, not really. But if you're in the neighborhood, it's worth it to stop by. read more

I have been coming here to buy toys for many years. Great selection of toys for all ages. Knowledgeable staff as well as friendly and gotta love the free gift wrapping! The best! Highly recommend this place. read more

My son and I love the store! This is the best toy store ever. The staff is very nice and accommodating to all the little children and their parents. They have lots of fun stuff set up for young children to play with and the staff gives you absolutely no attitude even when your child is scooting around the perimeter of the store or whizzing around with a toy shopping cart. We have spent countless hours of fun in this store and I always come to them first for toys for my son or birthday presents for his friends. They have a nice selection of toys. Whoever is their Buyer is doing a great job. read more

5 stars because their manager is the BEST! She helped me pick out perfect gifts for my 7, 3, and 2 year old nephews!

The people here are fantastic. I do not have kids and was heading to a 3 year old girls birthday party. I called 30 minutes out from the store and asked the staff to pick and wrap a present they thought she would like. All I specified was a budget range. Of the 30 or more presents received mine was by far the most popular. And by the way they present selected was at the low end of my budget range. Great store with Great people who know their business. read more

Absolutely fabulous toy store with a lot of options and truly great staff. We got great gifts and they even did a really nice gift wrap really quickly. They have some cool old school toys as well. Pretty big selection for all ages. I would highly recommend this store. read more

Went into the store today looking for an obscure children's toy and Frank couldn't have been more helpful! He was very generous with his time, and so good-natures. And, the store is beautiful, filled with so many different items for kids of all ages:) read more

This store is amazing, I babysit a little boy and inevitably when we are at Town Center he manages to find this toy store. It is so child friendly and he is allowed to touch and play with toys, it helps me to see what he is interested in. Also, the manager, Katie, is awesome she really understands child development and what toy at what age is appropriate. read more

Such a great store. They have a wonderful assortment of toys and always a great gift for any birthday party we might be going to. The staff is also very helpful. They also have it set up well for shopping with little ones, plenty to keep them busy while I am looking. read more

This was my second trip to A Child's Delight and I was again impressed with both the customer service and the selection of toys. They offer a good value especially when you consider that it saves me from having to step foot in Target-Mart. After I finally narrowed down my choices, the salesclerk offered to wrap my gifts.... saving me both time and effort. Maybe next time I'll bring in the 4 year old..... read more

Noah was amazing! He helped me with picking out some toys for my girlfriend's daughter and even offered to grift wrap. Great guy with excellent service. Give this man a RAISE! read more

They have a good selection of gifts for all ages. However; there young employees were to busy setting up there weekend to help any customers. Ask if they could rap a toy and they told me to come back later. I feel bad for the owners. read more

I wasn't quite sure what to get as Christmas presents and I was very pleasantly surprised when arriving at this store. There was a blonde and brown haired cashier who were very nice, helpful and knowledgable about the products. It was a great experience overall. read more
