I wandered in on a whim during a visit to Miami Beach and all I can say is wow. I no longer personally have a child but I work with them every day and I can say with complete confidence that any small human you take here would find something to love. The amount of inventory is staggering. Floor to ceiling, the tight aisles are packed with kits, models, experiments, animals stuffed and plastic, books, dolls, pedal cars, trucks, telescopes, instruments, puzzles, puppets, puzzles, and so much more, You could easily find something to delight newborns to teens. I saw toys that I didn't even know existed. They carry a lot of educational toys and European brands. As an educator I would love to have some of them for the classroom. I didn't have any trouble maneuvering through the store but it is not ADA accessible or stroller friendly. I couldn't imagine having to keep track of a child running around here. You could be forgiven for thinking the store looks like something out of Hoarders but I have never seen anything like it so I fall on the side of eccentrically charming. It is wonderful that such a unique, small business exists in Miami Beach. Oddly I didn't see any prices so you have to ask what things cost if you are interested in purchasing anything. read more

Stay away! The owner is a thief, he refused to honor my store credit and his stuff is so overpriced

Went in by request of our 4yo, on a family vacation around thanksgiving 2019. The store had sooo many toys that they poured out of the shelves into the aisle, so leave stroller outside. They sold us a train set and batteries,super overprice btw. We were leaving that day so since we needed a screw driver to put in batteries we had to wait till we got back home. Turns out the train train didn't work, we tried 3 different new sets of batteries and it never worked. They sold us a broken toy. We called the various time, left messages and we never received a call back. read more

Isles are stacked with toys from floor to ceiling. Pull out one toy and an avalanche comes down on you. Can't walk through if over 200lbs or carrying a toddler. Big messy selection and way overpriced. read more

My daughter (13), son (11), and I went to this store looking for a toy to take home on our last day in Miami. The store is tiny and there is barely any room to walk through the aisles as toys are stacked from floor to ceiling. It is very difficult to find anything. Trying to pull something from a shelf is like playing a game of Jenga. I still found the store very cute and it did have a lot of toys that I had not seen elsewhere. Beyond the difficulty of actually being able to find and then inspect a toy, game, or art and craft item is how outrageously overpriced the items are. Often more than double what you find them elsewhere. For example, the game Clue was sold for $39.99 and you can find it on Amazon for $17! What was very concerning was the attitude of the person (bald man) working there. My son was playing with a hand puppet to see if he wanted to purchase it, and the man pulled it off his hand aggressively and scolded him for playing with it. What kind of toy store is this that a child can't play with a hand puppet that is for sale? Perhaps he only wants to cater to wealthy people who are there to buy a toy instead of children. The behavior was inexcusable. I found out about the incident after we left the store. I called to complain and the man denied his actions, which were witnessed by my daughter. We will never go back to this store ever again! read more

This toy store has very bad service. My brother and I came here with my mother. My brother took a puppet and put his hand through it to try it out . He was thinking of purchasing this puppet, but the bald man who worked there snatched it from him in an angry way and said, " Stop making a mess and calm down" to him. I witnessed this unacceptable behavior. This man hurt my brother's wrist when he took the puppet. This is horrible behavior at a toy store where kids should be allowed to try out the toys they want to buy. read more

I love going to this place and for my kids is a superb experience too. 1- He has lots of educational toys, most toys have a meaning. 2- lost of European brands you won't find at department stores, but here, again educational or with excellent quality. 3- Place has character, this is like walking into a Manhattan, West Village store, small, narrow full of interesting things from the floor to the ceiling , the owner is always happy to see you exploring and moving toys around. 4- Last but not least, we are supporting our community and ourselves by keeping this kind of unique business in business. Otherwise we'll all ended up only buying from the same two chain stores Mattel! read more

We visited this store for the first time and I have to agree it's quite an experience. It is so jam packed that it can be difficult to see anything, but the owner is helpful. This is a great store to find a special gift, but items are seriously overpriced. I was charged more than double for the same toy as Target charged and twenty dollars more than at Nordstrom! I want to support local stores, but wow! read more

We love A to Z! Fantastic toys and the owner is extremely helpful giving suggestions for kids of all ages. They also do beautiful free wrapping for the holidays. read more

Stopped by here while vacationing in Miami to pick up some toys for the kids before heading back home. While I appreciate the amount of variety, it was SOOOO packed, we barely were able to get around to look at it all. I don't think I've ever felt so claustrophobic inside a store, EVER. Just picked up whatever we spotted first and had no desire to literally "dig" through shelves of toys and stuff all stacked on top of each other. read more

What do you get a two year old for her birthday? Yes, exactly I didn't know either but I was thinking something colorful and educational. Nerdiness can and should be instilled at a young age. You don't see too many independent toy stores in Miami so when I walked past A to Z toys I knew I wanted to step in and look for this dream toddler gift. I wondered around this small but jam packed store. The owner then approached me and helped me find some really great toys and then there it was, the dream gift. A dry erase board on one side, magnetic blackboard on the other, with colorful magnetic letters and numbers. Ding Ding Ding B-I-N-G-O Throw in a cute Sesame Street book with some computerized talking pen and I was finished shopping. Gift wrapping is complimentary and cute. read more

A toy store that carries a line of well made toys that's on the beach, that I can drive to in less than 10 minutes and not have to see the typical same toys every time, that's independently owned? Sign me (and my kids) up! I go here often. Whether if its for a little 'treat' for doing well at school, or to bribe my children into letting mommy and daddy go out for date night and leaving them with the sitter...this place is great. If you're a Beach parent, I highly recommend you check this place out. Your kid will love it- and will be super indecisive, but it really is the kind of toy store that a toy store was/should be! PROS: Independent, non-chain, toy store with great educational toys and unique toys that you don't find at your regular Target or Toys R Us. It's on the Beach- so it's easy alternative for beach-dwellers with toy-deserving children, who don't want to drive across the causeway to get toys at chain stores. They carry a pretty extensive line of Playmobil. Very well-made German toy brand that you don't have to worry about the child labor that was involved in it's creation or lax safety regulations of some toys made in foreign mass-production based countries (ya, you know which ones I'm talking about). They have ALOT of toys to check out and discover so every visit is always a little unpredictable and a somewhat surprise. They carry educational toys that are well rated and featured in the latest kid/parent magazines. Free gift-wrapping!!!! And kind service. Not in your face, not rude. Just there to sell toys! CONS: Because they are an independent, non-chain, toy store- prices tend to be higher than regular chains. The toys are not merchandised so clearly, so you do have to explore to find some cool things- and toys are stacked to the ceiling, so they aren't always so accessible. read more

Before you buy anything there check the prices with other stores its not even doubled its it's almost tripled. The store is a mess. I bough a doll for 69$ when everywhere else it's 29$. And no returns. Only store credit. read more

This is the BEST toy store in Miami! They have the most unique toys and prices are great. I love that they sell non-traditional + educational brands, which for me is a must when thinking about gifts for toddlers/young kids. The service is also exceptional... I come here often to buy gifts and they always assist by offering great recommendations on what's new/trendy/different. They also offer complimentary gift wrapping which is a PLUS! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED; definitely my favorite store for unique toys! read more

Really fun store filled to the brim with great toys. It is difficult to even get through because it's so full which is charming to me. The owner (I assume) was friendly and helpful. The selection is great. You can find popular toys like LOL surprises, Lego and barbies but also things I haven't seen in big box stores. Adorable books, art activities and crafts. Many reborn-like baby dolls (not sure what brand they were). I didn't see everything because my daughter already had her picks and was ready to leave and play with them. I'm only taking one star off because I feel most things were overpriced. Expect to pay $5-10 more than big box stores for legos (which are already expensive enough). Overall a great experience. read more

You should go with an accurate and precise idea on what you're looking for. Otherwise you will expend twice as you forecast. The owner is an excelent salesman and the big mess the store shows drives you rather crazy. The place is good but expensive read more

A paradise for children and adults. They had so many toys for every level of maturity, so many toys that one can barely make it through the isles. It is really fun shopping there. read more

This place looks like a tornado hit it. It's floor to ceiling with toys, jam-packed! How anyone finds anything is beyond me but the good news is that the proprietor is very helpful with a nice smile. This place has a great selection for every age. Hape, Melissa and Doug, schuylling toys for you old schoolers. Decent selection of legos and duplos and many musical instruments including by Schoenhut and Schuylling, two of my favorite brands. Lots of art supplies and blocks, etc. We needed some gifts in a hurry and there aren't many options nearby. However, this spot has more than you need. read more

I am so glad I found this spot. I was heading into the CVS store and I spotted the sign on the door. I had been looking for a guitar for my new nephew, and this place was open at 8AM? Had to check it out. It is a wonderful place, stocked to the roof with all kinds of goodies. From the new, (a fabulous tricycle that grows with the child) to the old school German built metal toys I remember as a kid. Can't say enough about it. I am recommending it to everyone! read more

Its the best toy store, you can find pretty much anything there all toys are so unique that you wont find in other stores! Love it!!! The customer service is great! read more

The owner was very helpful in finding specific toys for our kids ages as well as their likes. It is disorganized (but clean) but he came right out to help us find what we needed. read more
