I did not visit with my kids, but I know my kids would have loved this toy store. They love any kind of store where they can touch and play with the merchandise, and Toys Forever is such a place. It's very hands-on. There are toys all around that people can pick up and experience, which is very cool. Even though my children were not with me, I visited Toys Forever because I wanted to get my kids something from Muncie as a souvenir. You see, I was just passing through this fine city. My kids love things that are superlative: "The world's tallest X" or "The worl'd fastest Y." So when I saw The World's Biggest Candy Necklace near the checkout counter, I grabbed two. Done and done! The candy necklaces were a hit, as I thought they would be, and they only cost a few dollars each. There are fun things for all ages and at all price points here. The people who helped me were super friendly, and I saw that they were helping several other people find what they needed and answered questions. I love charming locally owned stores like this one.

This past weekend, I spent some time in downtown Muncie. While I'm nearly always in Muncie for…read morebusiness or a project, on this visit I actually had some time to do some exploring including checking out downtown's Toys Forever Models & Hobbies shop. Located in the historic Goddard building (originally built in 1884), Toys Forever is a locally owned hobby shop started in 2007 and launched an online presence in 2015. Examples of items carried include radio control, model railroad, plastic & scale model building, games, toys, Melissa & Doug, scientific and educational games, puzzles, and more. I found the employees to be delightful and well-informed and you could tell by kids in the shop that this is a hands-on establishment. This is in downtown Muncie with solidly available street parking and occasional parking lots. Some of the street parking does have a 2-hour limit, however, unless you park down at the Courtyard by Marriott (about 3-4 blocks away) you should be able to snag free parking. Downtown Muncie is a little hit-and-miss with accessibility - curb cuts are fine, however, some stores do have a step to get in them. This shop, however, is perfectly fine in terms of accessibility and the interior is surprisingly solid. Employees seemed very willing to assist as needed. Toys Forever definitely leans more toward classic toys/games/hobbies, with some exceptions. I've long thought about getting into trains and this story really fueled that desire. I don't live in Muncie, however, I would definitely return upon future visits and really enjoyed discovering this Muncie hidden gem.

It's a hidden treasure chest for all gamers! If you can look past the ongoing clutter, dust, and random items thrown about, you're in for a treat. I consider myself to be a big vintage gamer. So, I like hunting for anything that is hard to find and that will bring a nostalgia from my childhood. When I was visiting Celina, I didn't know what to expect but just wanted to check this place out to see what they had. They had more than any other gaming store I've seen for SNES, NES; there were even Sega Genesis games strewn about. Controllers, memory cards, old consoles, games that you thought you'd never see again. Honestly, I will look here again for anything that I am searching for in the future. The owner was very helpful. Normally, I have to look online for old games and hope that they work by the time they reach me in the mail. But now, I will call this place first to see if they have a game in stock...even if it means traveling a couple of hours. Apart from video games, the store carries retro board games, toys, and DVDs/VHSes. So, if you're looking for that old holiday Barbie from 1992 that your parents never got you, chances are that it could be here. Or if you want to watch the entire "Friends" series on VHS, look no further.

My only complaint is that the parking lot behind the Hopscotch House is dedicated to another business, so you'll need to park on the street.
