This store is great for all ages. They have toys for toddlers, kids, and older groups. There are board games that can be enjoyed at parties. They have mini games of air hockey and mini pinball. Some of the games are out on tables to try out. They have a nice selection of a variety of toys. They have a rack with the worlds smallest toys (such as worlds smallest candy land, slinky, Jenna, etc). They also have labubus and 3D printed toys such as fidget toys/clickers. They have stuffed animals towards the front of the store. They have ravensburger puzzles too! The staff is really friendly and enthusiastic. They are informative about the items in the store. The price of items can vary. The stuffed animals were pricey but they are good quality toys. The puzzles are expensive too but that's because of the brand. read more

Amazing toy store. I bought a toy on Amazon but it turned out to have choking hazard small pieces. So I went to Brainyzoo, picked out a better toy and the wrapped it for free! Great selection. I'm doing all my toy shopping here in the future. read more

A cool shop for kids, parents, and grandparents. We were kind of in a hurry so we didn't linger to admire the full inventory, but there was lots to look at. As a retired teacher, I was thrilled at the variety and quality of the toys and games. My 8 month grandson opened two boxes before we got home and was entranced with his new toys. I sure want to go back! read more

Came here on a Black Friday morning. The store carries a lot of educational toys that you would not able to find at a local Target, Toys R Us, Walmart, Kmart, etc. Brainy zoo location is close to The Old Spaghetti Factory with plenty of parking. The entrance is like a castle and inside is filled with toys and a lil play area such as a shopping cart, a little diner and a few wooden tables with variety of toys. You can find puzzles, DIY arts and crafts, stuff animals, different vehicles , dress up outfits, dolls, toys ranging from infant to big kids. I do see a gift wrapping area not sure if it is for online ordering or you pay to get it wrapped for you. I didn't ask. We got a 20% off coupon and if you spend $100 you get to spin the wheel for a small, med, or large prize. If you say "Rodolph" you get one free spin. End up getting a shopping cart which I'm pretty sure won't be able to find anywhere else. My 17 month old picked it out herself. While pushing the display shopping cart around the lil play area. My son end up getting a recycling truck and a super long bus (forgot what model it was) My son get to spin the wheel and got a large prize. A boat with two cars. His last spin he got a small prize and end up with emoji yo yo. The boat look like the price range from $29.99-$34.99. It was nice. There was a bucket of little puzzle that was nice also but, he was worried his sister might end up chewing them up and he passed on it. The staff are friendly and helpful. The toys here are lil pricey but, when they have a sale going on is a pretty good price for the quality and hard to get toys. read more

Needed something quick for a birthday party and we found a card set for $23 which is very cool. took some creativity to find something that didn't have a lot of plastic but staff was very helpful since I was in a hurry read more

It's a gem and full of quality educational toys and games. It was definitely hard to get my toddler to leave; he was interested in everything and kept saying "mom, you gotta check this out!" Love that this is a family owned toy store that's been around for decades. The owner and her staff are so friendly and helpful. read more

Perfect store for my toddler! They have every toy you could possibly think of and they even made recommendations of other toys that they don't carry. Their customer service and selection rocks! Thank you! read more

This is literally a child's wonderland. I wish I could've been to such an amazing toy store when I was a child. Floating jellyfishes and trinkets lined the windows around the store and you can't help but be drawn into the place. The staff here are super friendly and the store itself is very bright, clean and inviting. From Japanese Kendama toys to being able to stuff your own dragon, there is everything for any child. They even have costumes for sale, perfect for Halloween or just for dress-up; I found a beautiful Elsa dress and a super cool hero cape, totally made me wish I had a kid to buy it for. It's really nice that there are toys out for children to test and play with. I actually have never touched kinetic sand before and it was fun messing around with it for a bit. Final Thoughts: I wish there were more of these toy stores around, they kind of make you appreciate toys so much more. read more

This place makes me want to say... "I'll take one of each!" There are toys you can find at Walmart or Target then there are toys you can only find at this place. You can purchase educational toys or toys that just scream "FUN". The place is so colorful and organized. The employees so polite and so helpful. I walked in there this past Saturday and I did not want to leave, I wanted to look at everything and like the average child... touch everything and that seemed to be OK with them. The place is located in the same building as The Old Spaghetti Factory and Monster Mini Golf. The prices range from very inexpensive to I can find that elsewhere cheaper. It seems like a great place for teachers to find materials to decorate or to use in their curriculum or for moms like me to find tools to help along with their childrens education in a fun way. I have 3 children and every time I go there I find something for each one of them and even walk out with something for myself ;) (a cute pen, pencil or knick knack) LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!! It's the closest thing to Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium. hahaha read more

This was my first visit and I decided to bring my kids to the weekly story time. I am so amazed by this store. I have been to a few like it, but nothing as organized and as big. Every toy has it's place. I never felt like I was in a Toys R Us about to pull my hair out. Also, it felt very clean, unlike Toys R Us. The story time was very interactive. Ms. Robin really kept the kids interested. And after they even supplied a healthy snack. I can't wait to bring my kids back! read more

Totally stumbled upon this place when stopping for lunch at the Spaghetti Factory and boy was I glad we did! As a mommy of 3, I am always looking for new places/things/ways to entertain the kiddos and this place is great. Very large selection of toys that you don't typically see at the big box toy superstores. Educational and unique finds galore! They even had several tables of toys out for the kids to play with. The staff is very patient, kind and helpful as well. I overheard her give several well thought out suggestions to other patrons and thought I'd ask about games for toddlers. She lead me to the area and pointed out several selections and then even helped me read several boxes to help me pick out what would be most appropriate for my crew. Love this kind of service! Left with several games which have proven to be a big hit with the kids. Bottom line: Fantastic toy store... keeping my fingers crossed that it'll stay in business! read more

BrainyZoo Toys - Toy Stores Near Me - Folsom, California

Brainy Zoo located in the Folsom Outlets, is a great toy store. They have lots of educational learning material and fun games! The staff is very friendly and helpful. My only complaint is that they do not price match. My daughter wanted a Rubik's cube which was $11 on amazon & $25 in this store. I like supporting local businesses, however I will not pay more than double for an item I can find elsewhere. We ended up buying lots of unique learning games/materials instead. read more

I'm so glad that this store has survived, as every other business (other than Spaghetti Factory) in the building comes and goes! This is the coolest little toy shop. There are science kits, classic books, puppets, trains, playmobil, and even odd little toys i had as a kid that you can't find anywhere else! There is no Disney Princess, Hot Wheels, comic book stuff here...just classic, unique, and educational toys for kids of all ages! Even I find myself longing to get some of my old favorites! read more

We ordered the family game box for Thanksgiving. It was everything we hoped for and more! The selection included something for a variety of ages and skill sets. We certainly enjoyed ourselves. Thank you, BrainyZoo! read more

This is a specialty toy store in the Folsom Premium Outlets. It has so many great toys in it for infants and up to maybe 10 years old or so. They have science kits, dolls, Legos, pogo sticks, bubbles, games, books, puzzles, and so much more! I highly recommend this store! read more

Let me start by saying I try my very best to buy USA made items whenever possible. Before visiting the store I searched for some dominoes made in the USA, without luck. So I purchased a puzzle and a set of dominoes; to my surprise, both were made in the USA. A big WooHoo to Brainy Zoo and their great staff. read more

I used to come here as a child and now I bring my own children here for that extra special and unique gift. I already got something very special here for my daughter the other day, and that was when I found out that Santa would be there today. I have never taken my daughter to see Santa, and I am glad I did because she asked and said she was ready. We had lunch at the Old Spaghetti Factory and went to wait for him to arrive. The store clerks were sweet and helpful which added to the atmosphere. My daughter saw Santa walking around the toy store and didn't hesitate to greet him and give him a hug. Thank you Santa, and Brainyzoo, for making this a very special day for my child...we will always be loyal customers!! read more

Okay fellow yelpers, you guys have got to visit this whimsical store. I love to come here because their selection is excellent. They have all of the trendy items as well as a great collection of retro toys like the Slinky and the Rubik's Cube. I bought a mini Etch-a-Sketch and a Grow-Your-Own Cactus from here.

The staff is super nice and they really know what items make great gifts for people of any age. My next purchase is going to be the giant bear on the swing hahaha read more

Fun unique toy store with educational toys for kids. I like the made in Italy toys. I try not to buy China.

What a great place!! The staff is very helpful and knowledgable. Fun store to shop at and kids love it, lots of tunings to play with while you shop. However seems a little pricy but worth it because most things are "one of a kind" not something you can't find just anywhere. read more

Great toy store with lots of items out for little hands to "test" they have lots of more unique and hard to find items. The staff is super friendly and were able to answer my questions etc. it's in the same complex as Spaghetti Factory so if there's a wait for a table my son and I will do a little shopping and rarely leave empty handed. They also offer free gift wrapping which was great at Christmas. read more

Great store. Lots of unique items. Not anything like your normal toy store. Prices can be a little more, but it's for something you can't find any place else. Highly recommend. read more

This toy store is similar to Zainy Brainy back in the day. I got a LivingSocial deal here and enjoyed my time in the store. Some toys seem overpriced but it is a small store so it is to be expected. They have lots of fun age appropriate toys and a good selection. I like toys that kids can be creative with so this store is right up my alley. read more

Unique, creative and imaginative toys makes this boutique toy store a fantastic place to find toys, activities and gifts. They'll wrap your presents for free, too. Quality customer service and super easy location to get to (right off of 50 east at Hazel and Folsom). I can't wait to have an excuse to go back! read more

We bought a number of Christmas gifts here, including a doll house. The house required assembly which was done in order per the instructions. One of the last pieces did not fit properly so I took it to the store to see if it would fit the house on display. It did not. I pointed this out to a sales person and asked what to do. She said I could dis-assemble my house and repackage it for replacement with a new one. I asked if I could have the piece on the store display. The blunt answer was just "NO". After an hour of assembly I was not going to take the house apart and return it and start over. So now I have to saw the piece to fit. Totally unacceptable customer service. read more

This is my favorite toy store in Sacramento! I have repeatedly gone there not sure what to buy and have always been given great ideas. Besides great staff that knows what kids like, its a family owned business and I get lost playing every time i go there to shop. And they do beautiful gift wrapping for free. read more

They didn't sell any kendamas from Kendama USA they only had the Duncan or off brand ones

Such a wonderful toy store. A true gem for parents in this area. You can find so many wonderful and unique toys. They have many educational and sturdy toys that aren't going to fall apart and end up in the garbage after a few plays. Definitely a must visit when looking for a special toy for a birthday or holiday. read more

I love this store! They have all sorts of creative ideas that are unique and wonderful. Great place for gifts or for your own children! Oh, and did I mention FREE gift wrapping! read more
