It certainly woke up the child in me. We went in to find things for the grandkids but I bought stuff for my adult son and had to restrain myself from purchasing things for myself. They have indoor and outdoor toys, wonderful books, learning toys, games, dress-up, soft toys, art, small and large items, baby items. I can't even tell you all the cool stuff they have. If you are a hands-on parent or grandparents who doesnt want your kids face shoved in a damn cell phone all day, this is where you need to go to detach them from that garbage. They really have everything.

I'm also sure every other store might be cheaper by 10-20$ but you can get last minute things and they do a complimentary gift wrap for you. You're not coming here to save money, but you're supporting local at least. It's also nice to get some unique toys. I walked into the store and there was one other person. The worker was vacuuming and she walked right by me didn't even look. Two more employees had walked by when I was in there nothing from them either the guy checking out was at least nice, but they don't help you unless you ask probably.

Once they even got together a donation for my sons school on very short notice!! This store had many great things I have come across over the last couple of years. They have lots of educational placemats (we use those for learning in our household. They also have fossil kits.... which my son loves, being that he wants to be a paleontologist when he grows up.... we have also found many other fossil type toys, books, or educational items. They have a lot of school supplies (think elementary school teacher.) Many borders & themes to help decorate the classroom. They also have girl scout badges, books, and whatnot (I really don't know anything about girl scouts, I just see the goodies there.) The science kits they have are whats on my sons wish list. He loves science and wants just about every kit in there. He also loves books. We do "worksheets" daily at home. Learning essentials has books that are great for getting the worksheets from. Again, think elementary school (sorting, matching, rhyming, counting, letters, numbers, math, reading, phonics.) I love this place, it is a staple in our shopping routine!

Classic Toys is my favorite kids' store in Anchorage!…read more It's one of those small-town gems you're so glad still exists--untouched by Amazon! This charming mom-and-pop toy store has just about everything a kid could want, and the staff is incredibly helpful, guiding you through the store. It's a fun treat for a family day, letting kids pick out something special. My daughter chose a super soft stuffed toy, and their collection was impressive. Hands down, the best toy store in Alaska!

Classic Toys is the perfect name for this shop.

Prices are a bit steeper than you'd find at an every day market or department store, but everything you'll find at Classic Toys is of excellent quality and will last for a long time - well worth the price. If you're looking for a toy you had years ago and haven't been able to find again, try Classic Toys! If you're looking for a quality toy or game for any age, this is the spot.

And I was panicking because it's the last of that item in stock either in Wasilla or anchorage. I was trying to put a friends name down that lives in the valley on the order and I couldn't since the order was already made in my name. I was told to cancel and reorder. Well since it was the last item I couldn't reorder since the system now says it's out of stock. I called again to ask if they would hold it at the desk as my friend is on her way to the store. They also tell me no and good luck and hopefully it's on the shelves when she gets here. For customer service it doesn't seem like these people like servicing their customers.

First time coming to Once Upon A Child, and I even braved it on a Saturday when they were doing…read moretheir %90 off grab bag event! It wasn't too too crowded, when it was time to check out I was the 6th person in line with about 6 more people behind me. Probably took 15 minutes which isn't crazy. They were not super fast ringing stuff out. They have to scan and take every hanger off the clothes so it's a process. I was just browsing but intended to buy. They have stuff everywhere, literally stacked to the ceiling. Don't even think about buying new toys from target, especially those push walker toys. I was looking at 6-9 months and up. If you know baby clothes you know that if a onesie says 6 months on it, then that's the oldest age they are "supposed" to fit, but they had all the tags wrong and saying the clothes were 6-9 when it should have been on the 3-6 month section. Another downside is all the clothes and the store had a purfume smell to them, even after I brought the clothes home and washed. I'd probably wash twice next time. But I found some great stuff. Found some brand new items, even one from a boutique store that had an $18 price tag on it. However I paid only 3.50 - %20. Score! Also found an Alaskan grown onesie which run like 20 bucks! Got it for $2. Awesome. Also got four toys, seen them all at target for about 3/4 what I paid. All in really great condition. I will definitely be back again for clothes and toys, maybe during the week it'll be less busy. And I'll wash what I bring home a few times. I might end up brining stuff here to sell too one day. For now I just give it away since we got a lot of our stuff from friends.

When one girl finally came up to the door she lied and said the computers crashed.

If y'all close at 6 close at 6. All I needed was a baby bath. That was absolutely ridiculous.
