What my son really loves about this store is their large train table. He could literally stay and play for hours. I have to explain to him that this isn't Marbles and it's a store, we aren't just suppose to stand there all day. They are usually very kind about it and don't mind that we are loitering for far too long. When I'm looking for a kids birthday gift, this is a great spot due to the variety. They have a great selection of curated games and puzzles. Of course they also sell a few train items as well which my son loves checking out. Parking is super easy and overall just a neat store to wander around in!

The clerk is very knowledgeable about everything in there.

Definitely worth checking if you are into gaming but not video games since this is not that kind of venue.

I go to buy my daughter the viral squishy dumpling and as soon as she opens it and give it a squeeze, it bust open. I have bought lots of squishys over the years for my daughter for way cheaper at other stores and they are still till this day in good condition, not one has ever bust opened. The store won't do nothing for us. Says they are no longer accepting refunds for the dumplings. HINT HINT CLUE CLUE, this must be happening to several ppl but yet no warning in the store or a price drop on theses cheaply made, over priced dumplingings. They didn't bother to make it right just told me to buy another one. Warning , they don't care about the children and how they feel. EDIT*********** PS: I STAND BY WHAT I SAID. Btw my daughter actually did get a glitter one that she actually loved. So no one scamming over here. Picking a cheap toy supplier and hiking the price up but won't make it right is sad and money hungry. They could care less about kids but want to sell to them. Awful place. There are much better toy stores for way less and better quality.

Bad news. Stores like The Toy Shoppe are bad news. Like a kid in a candy store bad. There's a toy…read moreof some kind for every age group. Although I needed only one item and found it quickly, I spent more time perusing. What I saw was every available spot filled with toys. The manager mentioned the toy fair in a couple of weeks and after that, what little space was available now would be crammed with new things. That will be yet more bad news. Nearly everything was reasonably priced, less than in competing stores and in fact, I didn't notice a lot of duplication with things available in chain box stores. That makes The Toy Shoppe good for picking up something different. I didn't see any board games or jigsaw puzzles, unfortunately, but since I can get those anywhere, I'm okay with not finding them here. Perhaps they'll show up later. Despite escaping from The Toy Shoppe with only one item, I saw enough, like balsa planes, classic harley motorcycle models, and what looks to be the first of a train collection, to know I'll be visiting again. The Toy Shoppe, a classic mom-and-pop shop, is worth a visit when needing an escape from the madison-avenue marketing hype for toys.

We walked in and not only does the middle age creepy looking guy not look up from his computer, he doesn't even acknowledge we were there. We were looking for something particular, and didn't see it. When we asked this guy, he again did not even look up from the computer, and in a sarcastic tone filled with contempt, like we had the nerve to ask, says, "We don't carry that here, you'll have to go to a big box store!!!" So we left and as soon as we get out the store my daughter asks "did you smell his breath?" We both laughed and went to the "big box" store to get our item.
