As I bought the gift at full price I was expecting a store credit ...but no. So what to do??? I said it does not say that on the bill. Their reply... well you didn't ask. As a new grandmother I will not be shopping there again.

Pretty solid location in the Beaches and I happened to come here during the weekend right before…read morethe grey lockdown came into effect in Toronto. There was already a line at 9:00 and I thought I was being an early bird! The store has a pretty wide variety of toys for all ages and they are laid out into neat little corners or walls for different categories. The staff are really knowledgable and helpful. I was looking for a particular kid's book for 10 minutes on my own through the shelves and should have just approached them earlier. They were able to eventually find it in the backroom after checking their inventory system. The staff also are good at offering suggestions if you are stuck with choosing a gift. I was stuck so they were able to help give me some ideas that helps me make a decision. This location has curb-sidebside pick-up and they mentioned that they will still have regular stock coming in as well.

Yay Scooter Girl!…read more "Hi, I'm about to hop on a plane back to the States, and I need a bribe for an eight year-old. Do you have any toys that are Canada-related?" They didn't have much, but she led me to a selection of buttons that were, uh, aboot the best ever, eh. I ended up picking a design featuring a maple leaf with the word "Sorry" stamped across the front. So. Perfect. "But... Dad... why does it say that?" "You'll have to hear them say it, Iris. That's all I can tell you. They pronounce it weird. Trust me." Anyway, I also picked up some toys she considered rather righteous, some Shrinky Dinks and a build-your-own motorized Ferris Wheel. Simply put, Scooter Girl is that toy store that every city should have, the antithesis to Toys-R-Lame, with a selection of hands-on, educational, as well as tongue-in-cheek, playthings.

Everything I've said about this store in the previous review remains true, we love us some Scooter…read moreGirl in my house!

I am not the obsessed one, but my sister who is really into dollhouse and I know how excited if she can browse and get ideas of how to decorate her own "little" dream house. Their online website is really nicely done with all the items they carries and pricing...

Guy who owns the store with his wife was very helpful in helping me find some train toys and related accessories for my little nephew. Like other posters have mentioned they are very honest, knowledgeable and patient. The store has a fair selection of toys that are reasonably priced from what I saw but what sets them apart is the service. If your looking for knowledgeable, friendly staff that doesn't try to upsell you on the most expensive toys then this is the toy store your looking for.

I hosted a tie-dye themed birthday party for my daughter (who just turned 8) at the Michael's In…read more Mississauga (Vega Blvd) and our party coordinator was Nicole. We often attend their Sunday crafting workshops and Nicole is often the coordinator (we sure here as she is kind, patient with kids, and has such an incredibly warm energy!!). Nicole, along with the entire staff at Michae's were gracious and such an integral part of why the party turned out to be such an amazing success! As soon as we arrived, they provided colouring sheets to help keep the early arrivers busy as we did some last minute set up (which Nicole also helped us with). What an incredible price point too ($149), which includes plates, napkins and cutlery. Every child and parent enjoyed the tie-dye theme and bracelet making. They even provided little take home instructions to make the wash process easy!! I would definitely book a future party at this location again and I hope to get Nocole again!! Please never stop hosting these parties Michaels! And please consider adding new themes! It's a Mother's dream to have such a brilliant one-stop shopping experience where kids can have a blast, and parents can shop if they choose all at the same time!! I love Michaels in general, and now even more because of their brilliant party concept! A very happy mom and 8 year old! Thank you
