In my opinion the best, and I believe the largest, comic shop in Winnipeg…read more The 2-level shop has been around for a while and is staffed with friendly and knowledgeable people in comics and games. The first level houses your new books, trades, collectibles, and CCGs. The second level has your back issues, older toys & collectibles, and an area for people to congregate to play games. While they have some, their anime/manga selection isn't big. But as I said, the staff is friendly so they'll help you find anything you want. They're on the ball in customer service.

Worst selection! All garbage in there and everything is overpriced I would rather go shop on ebay…read morewhere you could find gems worth the same price. They lowball you and they will take parts from your toys or games when you're not looking. Now I have incomplete sets. Not even worth taking them to small claims court. Just another thieving family owned business. I'd stay away from this place especially how it's located in one of the worst areas in the city!

Kite and Kaboodle is located in the Johnston Terminal at the Forks on the second level. It's…read moreanother great independent toy store that also sells books, puzzles, games, kites, and toys for infants to older kids (even adults who are kids at heart). They have a nice selection of books for kids under 5, it's not a huge selection but they are well chosen by the staff. There are other books but I've never looked at those since my niece is a toddler. The are lots of educational toys and games too. Fun place.

Great toy store alternative to going to Toys 'r Us. This place has a lot of cute toys for kids and…read moreeven some adults. It's more of an old school toy store, you won't really find Barbies or video games there but there's a lot of offerings that kids will love because it'll actually allow them to use their imagination! The staff are okay, I can't say they've been super attentive but it gives you time to just browse without someone hovering over you.

In my dreams I find myself on a toy store tour of the globe…read more And in that dream, the ultimate and final stop is this world-class gem in the exchange district. There's an art to putting together a top-notch toy store. You have to make sure that there's something uniquely fun and entertaining for all ages and all personality types. Toad Hall perfectly appeals to everyone from the simplest child to the grown up supergeek. It's all beautifully arranged. There's a section on touchy-feely tactile toys. There are stuffed animals and puppets. There are areas of the store dedicated to space aged robotic contraptions. There are places for those who are really into magical ponies. And then there's the absolute best model railroad center within a thousand miles. And although it is large without being overwhelming, It's still extremely difficult to browse here without being compelled to buy something. And it's extremely difficult to make that selection... there's just too much amazing. This place is like an extremely well curated FAO Schwartz... every toy is hand selected for it's uniqueness, creative strength and pure fun. In a city where children of all ages have to find inventive ways to stay warm in the winter, this spectacular store rises to the challenge and knocks it out of the park. A must see.

Great toy store that opened recently in the Smart Centres on Kenaston (across the parking lot of…read moreHome Depot). This is the first location in Winnipeg for this company that sells toys and books at various price points. There are lots of the well known brands plus some cute obscure stuff. Lots of loot bag items too. The store seemed to offer items at various price points. The store is pretty jam packed full of items but it's only about 3000+ square feet which makes it manageable to navigate vs a place like Toys R Us which is a nightmare to navigate especially if you're not familiar with kid toys. The staff were friendly and really what left a lasting impression for me was the complimentary gift wrap in about 6 different wrapping paper! How great is that especially at Christmas time! They even put nice curly ribbon on the package too.

Realized Canadians don't use Yelp much so let me do a few quick reviews for my Winnipeg trip. We…read moredrove by this a couple nights ago so decided to stop by, unfortunately no time to play but just a coffee/dessert stop after our dinner. My feedback... - Our lattes were lukewarm so that's probably a 2-star on their own. GF carrot cake was pretty good. - Love the concept, everyone looks like they are having a great time which is 5+ - If I understand the pricing correctly, it's $10 per person regardless of how much food one orders. Feels like there should be some discount pending on the overall spending. - I saw a couple playing Uno, I did wonder why, I guess good for datenight. And looking at it a different way, you ate only paying labout $3.50 per hour. - All the staff we talked with were very friendly. - Hours are completely wrong on Yelp, check for the correct times on their website, they open late.

There breakfast cereal smoothies were also so tasty! The captain crunch one was perfectly creamy and cinnamon-y. They even added caramel syrup to it! I had so much fun playing board games here with my friends. The staff can also help explain the board games to people when they don't know how to play exactly. Since there's so many games to choose from there's almost a guarantee that you'll find one you haven't played before. It's fun trying new things out with friends. : )

All I hear when I phone is a recorded message and I have called numerous times, still get the recorded message. I took my inquires to another book store, one that where actually a live person answers the phone, and responds to questions of book availability. For some reason, this particular book store {Burton Lysecki} thinks that a person calling on the phone, to inquire about a particular book is an intrusion and/ or interrupting their work. They do not understand that "I am the purpose of their work and employment." I was successful at the bookstore that answered their phone!
