When in need of a traditional toy store... look no further. We went this past Saturday (we being my…read moregrandkids and me). Let's face it, there aren't any toy stores anymore, which is a bummer for the little ones. So I went here and Man, oh Man WOW they have all the good stuff!! Although I will comment that some of the Barbies looked... off. This place isn't cheap either, but thank goodness, they are still open. Bring your kids in and let them see the toys on the shelves and pick out the one they 'JUST HAFTA HAVE' Kites, puzzles, Barbie dolls, all sorts of trucks and toy cars, Legos, stuffed animals, and plenty more. There are also the coin-operated kiddie rides here too. Respectfully Reviewed

You might miss it since first time around it's harder to spot. But there's street parking. The store is big, not huge, clean, cool decorated with great posters and fun displays. It is enjoyable to browse, many toys and collectibles, some a tad too new. Prices vary, from reasonable to more expensive, based on the items, it makes sense. This isn't a store just for children although they have regular toys. For collectors, not the coolest items ever, but worth checking out. Nice customer service. Great to see a newer small business on Glenoaks!

Universal Classic Toys is a nearly daily trek for my son and I. The family that owns the store is…read morevery sweet. They know us by name, and frequently ask about what's new with us. As frequently as we're there, it's easy to pick out toys for our kids for birthdays and holidays. Usually, our oldest finds something he likes and plays with it every time we go in. We know that's a winner and save up to buy it for the next holiday or birthday. So far, we've picked up a vintage Disney Trivia for mom, a Little People Batman play set, numerous little cars, and Rex from Toy Story. Up next will undoubtedly be something from Pixar's Cars franchise.

What a gem!!! At first it looked like just a kids book store but it isn't.

Wonderful wonderful selections. Props to whoever does the curating. I left with a notebook, two books, and a bookmark. Very Queer friendly as well! Staff were so amazing! Amazing store.

Pippi the cat is the friendliest and softest cat you'll ever meet--literally the most perfect bookshop kitty! The selection of children's book is wonderful.

(I've gone to an adult book club meeting and had the pleasure of meeting wonderful people!) the store also carries a ton of signed editions which makes book buying even more special! They also have jellycat stuffed animals which are so cute and soft! It's a great place to buy books and gifts. There is plenty of free parking in the lot behind the store in the public parking area, as well as metered parking right out front.

I checked the hours on the door and saw that on weekends they're "sometimes" open -- which I thought was hilarious -- so of course, I had to step inside. It's a small shop that somehow feels bigger on the inside, like a little labyrinth full of surprises. The owner, Tiger, greeted us right away and was such a delight -- super personable, funny, and full of fascinating stories. He's clearly been everywhere and knows so much about the things he sells. There's a bit of everything here, and you can tell it's all curated with care and experience. Such a cool hidden gem in Burbank that I can't believe I hadn't noticed until now. Definitely worth checking out!
