Nice selection. Definitely. However. Employees not too nice. Daughter wanted an item. Pointed at it. Employee literally took it off the shelf and placed it behind the counter for herself. What? My daughter went behind and purchased it from another employee. Other two girls were nice. read more

The girls at the register are sitting on their phones non stop and repeatedly scalded my kids for playing with things in a damn toy store! I'm a business owner myself and usually have more grace but the level of rude they were when I'm spending a pretty penny for toys is infuriating. Won't be back- will take my kids elsewhere . Sad because we loved coming here . read more

Customer service is not even in the shop. The staff just stood behind the counter talking and on their phones. There what's a good amount of people in the store and trying to ask questions was like trying to talk to a brick wall.. read more

Horrible service they wouldn't help me and the prices are through the roof. over all bad experience.

Sooooo cute! Absolutely amazing store, the workers are so nice and always so helpful! The pricing is amazing and the selection is perfect for littles! Always love supporting this small business read more

This is a great place to shop for a game while you are visiting the mountain community. We had family come for a visit and didn't have any games. We got quality games for a good price. There are teenagers who work there, but they stopped their conversation and lunch they were eating to help me check out. read more

Mr G's For Toys - The games I bought totaled $44. Not bad. - Toy Stores Near Me - Lake Arrowhead, California

I had seen all the negative reviews prior to coming. I didn't experience any of the customer service issues that the other reviewers did. Perhaps management/staff saw the reviews and made adjustments. But the staff were polite and cordial. And my 5 year old really enjoyed looking around and the opportunity to buy some toys while we're in town. read more

The girls who work here are so sweet! Ashley helped me pick out a gift for like 20 minutes and wrapped it and was very helpful the entire time! I will be coming back!! read more

Some items at Mr G's For Toys are overpriced. Other items are lower than, say, what Amazon is currently marketing them. We lucked out with some collector items that will be in full use soon. If you're in the area celebrating a kid's birthday or need an adult souvenir (ornaments, coffee mugs, etc.), then this place might suit you. Cash or credit accepted. Very nice young lady working the day we visited (6/12/18). 2018 Challenge #123 read more

This place is amazing!! Such a great selection of toys and books for my 4 & 2 year old. The soundtracks they have playing in the background really made the atmosphere for the kids. Plus, they had a Gumby and Pokey for Dad! read more

If I could leave a review with zero stars I would. The girls who work in this store are extremely disrespectful and rude to customers. One of them yelled at my daughter for "opening" a toy which she clearly did not and told her she had to throw it away now. As we exited the store they were shouting bye in a rude and demeaning tone. My sister was still in the store after we left and she said the three girls behind the counter were talking badly about our family loud enough for customers to hear. I can't believe they are still in business treating their customers like this!! If I were the owner I would teach them a lesson and let them know this is not good customer service. read more

Mostly educational toys, Games and puzzles, a few Lego sets, mostly there to get something to keep the kids busy if you forget to bring toys from home when you are vacationing in the area. Prices were pretty much full retail so if you are used to shopping Target or Walmart you will think they are over priced. Staff was pretty much inattentive and did not great anyone as they walked in the door, just waiting behind the counter until they were engaged by the customers. read more

We were just browsing since they have an extensive selection (some items we hadn't found anywhere else before). My husband asked about Ticket to Ride and the employees were so helpful and excited to explain the game to him that he ended up buying it. Even after we purchased it they continued to give us tips and strategies. Super sweet. We've been playing it every chance we get since then! Thanks for introducing us to a new fun game. read more

Not they only have toys they have amazing souvenir magnet collection! It was way better collection than the bear shop..

Rude employees sitting on the counters next to the cash register? Told me that my kid coundnt have an open bag of candy in the store. Wtf? Its a toy store, not an art gallery. As a mountain resident, i do not support this local business and will never come back or recommend it to anyone. read more

Unfortunately we had a terrible experience in this toy store. My 9 year old daughter saved her chores money to buy a toy and as soon as she had paid she realized she had a $5 voucher in her purse to use The store clerk turned around and blankly said No, she can not use the voucher because she had already paid. Literally 2 minutes before! So we then said OK we will refund the item and then repurchase and they then very rudely said no refunds no exchanges unless faulty. Will never return. read more

The store proudly presents Covid-compliant signs with a list of criteria that they will comply with, including masks, and a number to call if they do not comply. To each their own, but if you market on the window that it is safe to enter, it's an absolute bait and switch to bring your children in a toy store that has unmasked uncaring employees. We walked in and the two ladies working at approximately 5:30pm (have photos) on Wednesday, July 15th, refusing to cover their face with masks and talking to customers. To these women, you give zero choice to the parents who believe the signs you have posted on your window that it's a safe place to bring your children if your viewpoint on Covid-19 and the state laws may not align with yours. Children are not an opportunity to breathe your political beliefs on children. Dangerous, disappointing. Left quickly. read more

Rather extensive and fun toy store. They have some trains and other toys out for kids to play with and pretty much every kind of toy a kid could dream of. Luckily we didn't come in here with my nephew because I don't think we would've ever left. The employees were very helpful and friendly too. read more

Being that this was my first time here I was impressed by all the cool toys this store has to offer! From old school 90's toys and board games to a huge variety of TY beanie babies and a cute little books this place had it all! The only thing I disliked were the prices! Ouch! It was expensive! read more

We spent a lot more time here than I thought we would. I blame the 2 year old. He spent all his time with the toy cars until we finally decided on one. We also picked up a pool float for a very low price that the kiddo LOVED. He used it at the hotel pool 2 days in a row, and then we brought it home and he continues to use it. The guy at the register was very friendly and it just seemed like a great neighborhood store. Prices were reasonable...I didn't think they would be. I'll be back to visit next time we're there. read more

Nice variety of toys. Now if they could just improve the customer service. I went into toy store with my 3 kids. Notice 3 young girls behind register..2 sitting and one standing and chatting away. We browsed around for 20 min. Kids wanted to buy something but I asked them to hold off until we come back as our car was parked close by and I didnt want to carry there toys around. We came back to the store 3 hrs later and the 3 girls are in the same position. I wouldnt care but I asked them if they had a specific toy my daughter had looked at somewhere else in the store as we no longer see it on the front shelf. The answer she gave my daughter was.."Well that's where their home is and if it isnt there, then its gone." Ok..I get it, but you would think one of them could get off their butt and maybe help check? Maybe if the staff could tidy up the shelves so customers can find things I wouldnt need to interrupt their personal conversation ? Sorry but the lack of customer service and friendliness deterred me from buying 2 scientific robots sets. Just decided to buy a squishy toy and walk out. Appolgies to the owner, but I own my own business and I dont believe in supporting employees' paychecks who don't value their customers. read more

It was a rainy day at the Cabin and we called to see if they had "Monopoly Deals" card game. Yup, that said, so we trekked the 14 miles from Green Valley Lake to pick it up. We recommend it, easy to learn and play. It was a wonderful day playing cards with friends. read more

Just love this store. Went with my son and he just loved all the things. He even found what he was looking for- fidget spinners! They had a bunch in stock. A younger guy and girl helped us and they were really friendly and greeted us well. If this place wasn't so far away- we live in San Diego- I'd come back here all the time. They had squishables, toys for younger kids, games etc etc and lots of plushes - bears bear bears! Was really amazed! There were also souvenir items. A must see if you ever in this area! read more

This store is really nice but I didn't even make it in. The cashier wS so rude I was holding my nephews baby bottle and yelled at me that no food and drinks are allowed. And there was another person right across from her holding a open container. The customer service needs a reality check. read more

My son loves this store - well stocked and friendly employees. Everything is 30% over the big stores (e.g. Target) but it's nice that they're located in the Village and it's fun to splurge on the kids from time to time. read more

I live in Lake Arrowhead and needed a gift for 2 kids. This toy store is a cute lil store that has both the educational stuff and some stuff you would find at large chain toy stores. I'm giving it one star due to the extremely rude customer service. How hard is it to be friendly, especially working at a fun toy store. There were 3 young ladies and one was at the register while the other two stood there staring at one of their phone. I asked for a board game and they said they just saw so the red haired lady came around and showed, which was very helpful of her to do that. So I laughed and thanked them and apologized for the inconvenience as it was in plain sight but I overlooked it. So I turn and the other two are rolling their eyes and giving me dirty looks. Again, I apologized because I was embarrassed. So they stood there looking at each other rolling their eyes, not even one smile. I was about to be just as rude and walk out, but decided I needed the over-priced Yahtzee because I didnt want to drive anywhere else. I don't know if these ladies work often but I promise I will never return to inconvenience them again. And I work at an elementary school up here and will make sure I let everyone know how appreciated we are as customers. read more

Great toy store! They have a wonderful selection of vintage style hard to find toys, as well as modern toys. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend stopping by if your in the Lake Arrowhead!! read more

The customer service could use some help, I went in on a Saturday got a smirk from the girls at the front counter chatting no hello how are you. I was looking for something very specific finally found if and when I paid for everything the girl still didn't say a word to me other then my total. Not to mention the prices are out of this world expensive and the variety has drastically decreased in the last few years. read more

Have been going to Mr. G's For Toys for years. Saturday 9/23/2017 we took our grandbaby for a special toy splurge. When we got there at 5:45 the door was locked and the closed sign was on. I knocked for several minutes as the 3 employees inside ignored me. Finally one came to the door and said they were closed. I said, "so you closed early" he said "we are closed". I asked him if the owner knew they were closing early and he said they did. My grandbaby was so disappointed and so were grandma and grandpa. Octoberfest was going on and there were lots of people there! I would have understood if the weather had been bad, but this was just a matter of closing early for the sake of closing early. To the owner of Mr. G's. Your employees from that night owe you at least $100.00 as that was our budget for the trip and we more than likely would have spent much more! I wonder how often they do this and how much money you are losing? read more

As a visitor to Palm Springs all of the stores are new to me so I was excited to go to this store and pick out something special for my kids. We were not greeted when we walked in and not once did anyone ask if we needed help. I made a purchase and the cashier made no attempt to have a conversation at all. The next evening I decided to go back to purchase something and they had locked their doors. I knocked on the door and about 5 employees just stared at me. I knocked again and pointed to the closing sign to show them they closed early and they ignored me again. My friend then knocked and showed them our money because we knew what we wanted and had cash so it would be an easy transaction. A lady then came to the door, didn't open it, and rudely told us they closed their cash register already, again before their actual closing time. I was leaving the next day so I couldn't go back to get what I wanted but I wouldn't have anyway after experiencing such horrible customer service. read more

Great service! They offered and wrapped my son's gift for me while he was playing and distracting with the train table. Old fashioned service. Refreshing. read more

Love Love Love this store!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Amazing staff, amazing prices, and amazing toys!!! I went in with my Mom, was instantly greeted by the staff with warm smiles and cheerfulness. I will always shop here because the merchandise is amazing and you can't find a lot of this down the mountain. read more

Love this shop! Called in to see if I could get Jr. Bogle because I couldn't find it anywhere...yes I looked too late before Christmas, my bad! Paid for it over the phone and she gift wrapped it for free! Walked in and my daughter was thrilled to get another present for Christmas! Thank you, thank you! read more

This pet store is overly pricey. Which, I could live with. However, they have the dwarf frogs in a small cube and tell you that you never have to feed them but once a month and never change their water. They also state that these frogs loooooove small areas. However, all this is very untrue. They are selling little frogs in tiny cubes. Their care of these creatures is inhumane. I bought one because I thought it was cute, and those were the instructions they gave me. Feed it once a month and never change the water or it will die. After I brought them home they died the next day. After I researched the african dwarf frog I realized they had lied to turn a profit. read more

If I had the option to not even give them one star, I would go with that! My Mom took my daughter into this store yesterday in search of a baby bottle for her baby doll. My mom asked the woman working if they sold the bottles separately. They searched the store and the only thing they could find was a baby doll that came with a bottle. My Mom and daughter started looking around the store in search of another toy. After a while of shopping, the woman working approached my TWO year old daughter with a box containing a baby that was missing the baby bottle. She then says to my daughter "Honey, did you take the baby bottle out of this box?" WHO DOES THAT?! My daughter immediately grabbed onto my moms leg and just looked at this woman in fear. Why in the world would this woman who deals with children all day address my two year old when my Mom was right there?! Needless to say, my daughter DID NOT take that baby bottle out of the box! But, she sure was accused of doing so! I will NEVER shop here again and I can tell you for certain that my mom won't be back! read more
