The Toy Factory is a great little toy store in downtown Corvallis, with a variety for all ages -- stuffed animals, books, puzzles, games, and a variety of different building block toys (LEGO, Duplo, etc). A fun decor feature is their display of completed Playmobil sets on shelves around the perimeter of the north side of the store -- some of the sets our own grown offspring had as children. We found a few treasures to purchase, including a fun looking 1000 piece puzzle. The store staff were cordial and helpful, even if they were not going out of their way to greet everyone who came through the doors. One big plus for us, after walking around downtown Corvallis for a few hours, is they have public restrooms available! You have to ask for a key at the checkout counter, but the restrooms are very clean and well maintained; and for those with very small children, there are full-sized changing tables. We often find ourselves being sort of "restroom snobs" when it comes to shops and restaurants; but we find the condition of the bathroom is often an accurate indicator of the rest of the facility. Anyway, The Toy Factory is a wonderful little shop, and I highly recommend it. read more

I like to visit toy stores whenever I travel since I work with children with special needs and I learn about new games and interactive toys. I liked the vibe in here. It's a large store and they could pack in more but they have a nice variety. Displayed nicely. Staff was friendly. read more

My husband and I stopped in here yesterday on a whim, as we were walking around Corvallis. Neither of us had ever been in before. The store is huge, and it feels like they have a limited selection just because of the store size. But if you have small children with you, there is plenty of room for them to run around and have fun finding new toys. So in that regard, the store size compared to the selection is great. We were not immediately greeted when we went in, despite the store otherwise being empty besides one other customer. The cashier didn't say a word until we went to purchase the items we picked. She was friendly and helpful when we did talk to her, but she's definitely on the introverted side, and that didn't give off the most welcoming vibe, but it wasn't terrible either. We did find a book for our new nephew to add to his collection. I also found a giant squishy avocado. I have a baby one at home, so of course, I needed the giant one as well. Prices weren't bad. I always feel like most small local toy stores are way overpriced, but I was kind of impressed here. My giant avocado was only like $40. We ended up spending around $60 for the avocado and book. I wasn't complaining. Would I return? Yes I would. I wouldn't go out of my way to come in here, as I live 45 minutes away. But if I'm in the area, I'll definitely stop in again. As my nephew grows, I know I'll need to go find more toys for him, and this is a great store to find some. read more

The Toy Factory - Giant squishy avocado! I had a baby one at home, and of course, needed a giant one. - Toy Stores Near Me - Corvallis, Oregon

I've been in this store many times and have always been happy with the selection and service. Unfortunately I won't be returning after my attempt today to spend several hundred on Brio trains for a birthday gift. I called this afternoon and asked if I could make a purchase and have it gift wrapped for a member of the birthday boy's family to pick up. I have called small businesses all over the country with similar requests and this was the first time I've ever had a small business say NO, even though they offer a complimentary gift wrapping station in the store. I was told "we don't want customers to think we offer that level of service". Well, good businesses do offer this level of service - and sadly I won't be back to this one. read more

Love being able to support local and small businesses ! You can order online and get pickup! They have such great interactive and educational kits for kids, plus just regular toy and even legos!! read more

We are in this store often, they have a wooden train set-up for kids to play with, and many other fun toys to experiment with while shopping. I have yet to venture into the baby gear area or the play area, but I am impressed with the variety of toys, educational games & books they have in the main part. In the front of the store there is an area with inexpensive novelty items that are within any budget. My son enjoys picking out items from this area, his last choice was a Chinese yo-yo that he says is a light-saber... Imagination is a great thing! Toys are not cheap, and this is not a discount store. However, the toys that I have bought here have been of good quality and the customer service is excellent. #corvsmb read more

My toddler and I love The Toy Factory. They have a lot of opportunities for kids to play with the toys they sell, and that's a nice way to know whether a toy will be a hit once it is purchased! Staff are super-friendly and offer candid reviews of the items if asked. The selection of books they carry is good for Corvallis. Higher prices are mostly because of the type of high-quality toys they carry - there are certainly reasonably priced things and we are almost always able to find something fun as a treat for just a dollar or two. I also have been pleased with the baby area. They have some things that are hard to find in Corvallis (notably Medela parts) and quality toys, clothes and furniture. I liked the Bunnies by the Bay selection. The Toy Factory also runs a play area behind the store, called the Play Factory. We have not spent time there yet but we checked it out and it has a reasonable hourly rate and some nice playthings (ride-on and climb-on toys - there's a photo). I'd suggest that you look here first before ordering online or when trying to find a great baby shower or kid's birthday gift. read more

The Toy Factory is a Corvallis standby. Their original store is now an expanded Old World Deli;the Toy Factory became too big for their breaches, in a sense. They now have a separate section for baby supplies, as well as a play area. It is NEW and IMPROVED. Kids can play around on the bikes, try on dress-up. There's an astounding array of sticker books. They have a tent as well as kitchens that kids can play around in. They have a BETTER selection of toys for toddlers than the usual big box store. The service is wonderful. Local toy stores have the friendliness that big box stores lack. The Toy Factory manufactures FUN!!!! read more

Great selection of toys for all ages and interests. Especially love that they have table set up so kids can demo the toys.

This is a good shop for unique toys, and especially for science and educational toys that kids will really enjoy.

What a fun store! One side is baby stuff..everything from pumping/feeding supplies to clothes and diaper bags, and the other is full of toys. But not your standard big box toys...this is a great store for that special gift. Lots of educational stuff, old fashioned toys, and unique books as well. I have a feeling we'll be in here a lot in the next few years! read more

Fun toy selection and such a fun place to play with the kids. The ambiance is so great and the rooms are set up so nicely. The staff is very friendly and helpfully if you ask for help. It is a bit pricey and you can find the same toys else were cheaper. I do like to support local business and I do still shop here, but doing your entire holiday toy shopping here is a hard hit to the wallet and very few sales. #CorvSMB read more

Always the first stop and never the last! High quality new and old school toys! Nothing cheap or trendy! These toys are here to stay! If you're a Walmart Rollback don't shop here! These toys you don't have the style to appreciate. They are going to make a statement and last for years to come! Can Walmart give you that? Methinks not! The kids can play with everything in the store and try things out! You can wrap and decorate your gifts here free with your purchase no matter how large or small! The kids love selecting gifts for others and wrapping them themselves. Quality and quantity! read more

Our daugher loves this place. The play area is great on a rainy day and the toys are great quality. They also have a very diverse variety. Great place to explore. read more

Five stars for what it is: an expensive store, yes, but offers great kids' stuff from weird trinkets to educational play sets. We also found some enjoyably ridiculous toys to give adults at Christmas. Not an enormous baby clothes selection, but we did find an incredibly cute pair of boots for a friend's toddler. A good place for gift shopping as long as you're not trying to outfit the whole family. read more

Amazing customer service, wonderful play environment for children of all ages, excellent selection of toys from legos to playmobil to unique and unusual. The prices are comparable to 'big box' stores and I'm happy to put my money into a local store. Owners are super friendly and kind. A favorite fun stop for our family. read more

I take my 3 year old here about once a month. We love this place, for purchasing toys and just playing in the playroom. I do not think this store is expensive. Prices compare to toys r us for the same items, but shopping here supports a local business. I do wish that you could go into the play room free with a purchase (usually costs $3). read more

I am so disappointed in this store! I agree with the other reviews - the toy selection is wonderful and they have a lot of wooden toys and educational toys to choose from. However, I recently visited the store and found that they were selling a car seat at a good discount. They mentioned that they had decided to stop selling car seats, so it was the last one available. I called a couple hours later to get more information about the seat, because all of my research was stating that the model had been discontinued in 2013. I was told that the car seat was a new 2015 model. I drove back to the store to look at the seat again, and confirmed my original suspicion - it was manufactured in 2013. It was clearly printed on the outside of the box. I pointed this out, but they are still trying to sell this car seat. One would expect that, if you purchase something new from a store such as the Toy Factory, that it would be a new and current model (or at the minimum, the most recent older version). There have been several updates made to this particular seat since the 2013 discontinuation. Car seats have expiration dates - most convertible seats expire 7 years after manufacture date! A third of the life of the car seat has been used up sitting in their store. And, there is no excuse giving incorrect information, especially when the date of manufacture is so clearly marked. Very disappointing. read more
