We love Henry Bear Park! It has a great little selection of toys, stuffed animals, and fidget toys. They host fun events for shoppers and the neighborhood too. Plus their window display is always adorable. All of the workers are so kind and give my dog treats. read more

Henry Bear's Park - Toy Stores Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

05-25-24 I came to Providence from San Diego, CA to attend my son's graduation. While everyone took a nap from being exhausted because of traveling, I opted to take a stroll. When I saw this shop, I decided to enter. As I walked in, I saw Ashley, the manager, standing near the counter. I asked for her assistance and described to her what I needed. Ashley made some recommendations and showed me a variety of toys that were aged appropriate. She spent a lot of time helping me until I felt satisfied with my decision. I ended up with the 5+ Burger Truck (see pic). If you have small children, this place has everything: fun, educational and interactive. Also, I loved the fact that they have free gift wrap service and interactive toys for children to enjoy while waiting for their moms to shop. Enjoy shopping for your children Moms! read more

Such a cute store with a ton of variety. I loved the huge selection of stuffed animals and they have lots of popular brands!

This is such a cute neighborhood toy store and such a treasure since there are so few toy stores left. They carry a little something for everyone: board games, plush, games and Legos, baby toys, musical instruments and figurines. They have classic brands and more upscale brands and a collection of small toys so a kid coming in with only $5 to spend can still get something. The staff is super-friendly and always willing to help with a gift suggestions. They also take online orders that you can pick-up gift wrapped and ready to go. read more

I absolutely love this toy store. I've been coming for years and they always have new things coming in and out for all ages. Literally people from 0-100 would find something in here. Tons of STEAM-based toys, puzzles, games, blocks, stuffed animals, backpacks, lunchboxes, water bottles, arts & crafts, outdoor toys, projects, stickers, balls, etc. It's a great place to get a unique gift for someone or for a visit with your own kiddos. My daughter loves it in here and explains, "Wow!" at literally everything. The prices appear to be on the higher-end but everything is truly high-quality. And they do have toys starting as low as $3, so you don't have to burn a hole in your pocket either. I'll continue going here. You can also order online and pick up in store. read more

These stores are no longer around. A toy store with all of the classic toys and the not so classic. The employees were awesome, so friendly and helpful. We brought our grandson there and he was just amazed to see so many toys. We gave him the option to pick what he wanted and he was overwhelmed with so many choices. This was a throwback to the times when I was young. I loved it and saw so many toys I used to have. read more

Great store to try for creative toys as well as educational toys. The box stores really don't carry the same science based kits and games you will find here. Prices are a little higher but the value for quality is well worth it. People were very helpful and we actually talked to 2 different employees while browsing the store. read more

Had to buy a present for a friend's kid (4 yo girl). This store is AMAZING. Lots of selection, high quality toys, not super expensive. Staff is friendly. Love that it's a regional NE-based chain and not a big box store. Ended up getting a decorate-your-own unicorn bag! read more

This was my first visit to this wonderful store. The selection and quality of educational toys & books was incredible. The staff was exceptionally friendly & helpful. Social distancing was enforced & hand sanitizer was available in numerous places. Although this was my first visit, with 5 grandchildren & 1 on the way, it won't be my last. read more

They do a great job wrapping gifts. Really too great because everyone knows I didn't do it. The prices vary so you can find something at every budget and the ages on every product make selection easy. The staff is so friendly and did I mention they happily wrap the gift at no extra charge? read more

Homegirl ventured out, on an evening bleak and dreary Homegirl parallel parked, stepped out looking all career-y. The prices where whack, Her stilettos clacked, Homegirl ventured back, got directions from Siri (Mic Drop) Homegirls initial visit was to get a toe in the water of all things Henry Bear. But man, Henry bear wasn't hibernating this winter, he was out in these streets picking them east side pockets! Homegirl doesn't live by Blackstone Blvd, she is luxury, but not that kind. The river rocks on Homegirls shower mat is the only black stone she got right now. Needless to say, it was like her fingers got arthritis every time she flipped the price tag. Crippling pain! While the store is very fun and carries unique and creative toys, Homegirl can't afford to be spoiling her homebaby like this. It is a specialty store. Homegirl just prefers the hunt. She knows she can find a bpa free sippy cup with a bamboo straw for half the price if she searches. Homegirl went home, girl after her first visit empty handed. Even though she had a gift card she couldn't justify the prices. Her crab claws were not letting go of that gift card at checkout . After a period of reflection while walking the Blackstone Blvd Path ( which Homegirl has also reviewed), she returned to Henry Bear. She purchased 2 teething toys in the shape of an elephant, both $24.99. Homegirls biggest consolation was that she was supporting a small business. She handed over the gift card feeling like it was the last of her shekels. The teething rings were cute, yes, but not 24.99 cute. If you are someone with some chang chang chang, then you will enjoy yourself, walking out feelin like Auntie Martha Stewart, buying you're nieces and nephews treats. But if you like Homegirl, you'll walk out feeling like Mike Tyson filing for bankruptcy in 2003. Homegirl was feeling KO'd walking back to her Benz. Like she said, she's a luxury girl, in a penny pinching world. Great place if you're looking to shred some paper, in exchange for unique and creative goods. read more

A great neighborhood toy store. Now that I have babies in my life, I can really appreciate this store. I've always wanted to check it out, but never had a reason to before. It has a good selection of toys for all ages. The place is neat and tidy. They do have a frequent buyer program as well, which I haven't indulged in yet, for fear of going a little over the top with my toy buying. read more

What once was Creatoyvity got a bit of a facelift and a re-vamp and became the first RI location of Boston-based Henry Bear's Park. Cheerful, well-organized and full of fun things for kids of all ages, I can get on board with the changes and the new name, too. As someone familiar with the previous iteration of this toy store, I appreciate the thoughtful improvements and shit that has taken place. It's not stroller-friendly, has a cleaner, brighter appearance and I also found the service I received to be more professional and helpful. I don't know if they replaced the employees or if I just happened to meet someone new, but this change made my experience here all the better. Books, dolls, stuffed animals, erector sets... You name it, if it has anything to do with kids and toys, Henry Bear's Park has it. I was so happy to find a great assortment of things for my little girl on her 1st birthday -- Corelle dolls, a Jellycat hound dog, great board books and even a wooden puppy on wheels. Everything is so well sorted and organized, we were able to do all of our shopping my more quickly than anticipated, and something about the space is so much more inviting, I can't wait to return. read more

So this place was a surprising find on Hope Street. I think there was some other toy store here a while back but now Henry Bear's Park moved in. We were looking for something for our niece so we decided to pop in. We parked just on the street and strolled in to find actually quite a large store with books, toys, you name it. If there is something children's well they probably have it. They have stuffed animals galore and if you're looking for anything "bear" it's definitely there (I guess they have to live up to the name). I also loved that they had a large selection of children's books including board books. They also have them in different languages from Spanish to French. They have balls, dolls and little trinkets for all ages. The store clerks are there to help you find age appropriate things. Sure they're a little on the expensive side but really they're your one stop shop and go type place. Actually it's just fun to walk through there and explore! read more

Stopped in after running errands all day and figured I would stop in to see if I could find something for my nephews upcoming 1st birthday and whoa was I pleasantly surprised! Books galore which feature all the classics, toys and games for various ages. The area is spacious, well lit and clean. Throughly enjoyed my first experience and will be back! Ps. They offer in store gift wrapping, don't know if they charge for it but it's a nice plus if you aren't a good gift wrapper (like me) read more

I find the store pricy and hard to find gifts. But for the extra price and timely purchase it is great. I never have luck with remote control cars but it could be my kids. Last a day to a week. But they have educational gifts that are great. read more

I needed birthday presents for three children (8 year old boy, two 10 year old girls), after a fruitless trip wandering around ToysRUs (how does a toy store manage to feel depressing?) I found Henry's on Yelp. Large enough to have a good selection, small enough to be manageable, I was in and out in less than 30 minutes with three GREAT gifts, fun, creative and a bit educational. They wrapped for me, and I also got 20% off in a promo they were running (I could have gotten 10%, 20% or 40%, by drawing straws). Smallish selection of classic kids book, Newbury Award winner types. My new go-to. read more

It's a wonderful store with delightful toys and books and pleasant service.

I love this shop and frequent it with my toddler at least once a week. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. The free gift wrapping is great and my son will happily play with the train table, magnetic blocks and kitchen set for as long as I can stand it:) I feel lucky to have such a lovely toy shop so close to my home. read more

This is a really cute store with toys for infants through young teens, including a small book section and a selection of clothes. We bought a cute outfit for our neighbor's new baby girl and I like the fact that they have a decent selection of Legos and Playmobil. I agree that it's not very stroller friendly so you'll have to carry your baby around instead. Worth your time if you're in the area. read more

I never did make it in while it was Cretoyity (or whatever it was called) but I was almost immediately lured in by the bright colors, and the sweet bear. I am so glad I was because upon entering there is a lovely train track table that my son enjoyed playing at while i perused the store. They have a plethora of options for all ages. From puzzles to trains to dinosaurs to cars trucks fairies and more, all children (and most adults) will find something that will excite them. I was truly blown away by this toystore. I am looking forward to popping in on my lunch break from work one day so I can shop without my little man. The place is well organized, the girls seemed to thoroughly enjoy their jobs and were kind and helpful. One major plus for me was the clean bathroom as well! My son still enjoys the toys we purchased that day and we will definately be back soon! read more

As a modern shopper, I frequently utilize apps and...whom am I kidding, primarily Amazon to purchase trinkets and toys, but I was pleasantly surprised to be taken back to a simpler time when toys, books and plush dolls are expertly displayed to capture our hearts and lessen the burden from our wallets. I stumbled onto this establishment on a casual walk along Hope St after lunch. As soon as we walked into the shop, our attention was captured by the countless adorable plush animals on the shelves and all sorts of family fun board games that we used to play. We ended up purchasing a few toys for our extended family members and left feeling young again. read more
