Love this store! We go here whenever we are in Lincoln City. I especially love their spinners. I bought one too hang by my 88 year old mother's window. She loves it and can't stop watching it spin! They have yard spinners and kites and toys too. It's just a fun store! The owners are so nice and friendly and helpful in teaching all things kite flying. I highly recommend visiting Winddriven! read more

You go there for kites. ALL KINDS OF KITES! But they have so much more. Toys, puzzles and various wind driven goods and kits! A lot to check out. read more

This place was awesome!! My boyfriend and I are back in Lincoln City for a few days, once again staying at his mom's beach house. The three of us did a tour of all the antique shops in the city and we stumbled upon this one. Winddriven has a huge selection of toys, games, and even kites. I enjoy doing puzzles in my free time and I picked one up to add to my collection back home. The puzzle was a cat putting together a puzzle and I thought that was so cute! So I ended up buying that one and I can't wait to put it together! I also tried out one of those Chinese yo-yos that they had on display. It was fun to play with! The service was fantastic. The lady that checked us out was super friendly and she ended up giving us $2 off our purchase because my boyfriend's mom has been here a couple of times. That's another thing that I liked about this store. I recommend this place to anyone looking for new toys, games, and kites. The kites here are perfect to use during those windy days at the beach. read more

I didn't catch the name of the woman that was helping everyone, but she was friendly and knowledgeable about kites, flags, and everything else they sell. I haven't found a better selection of kites in this local area unless you drive down to Newport. that being said, you won't find a friendlier person to help you anywhere. They have a good selection of kids kites, adult kites, and sport kites, if you're wanting to give that a go. Definitely worth a stop if you are thinking of a kite purchase. Easy parking out front as well in their private lot. read more

I'm a first time kite flyer. They spent time and helped me pick out a great kite. He set it up for me and I was off to the beach. The kite was awesome! I followed his instructions to a tee and had an absolute blast!!!! I am hooked! Thank you so much. read more

We stopped in here to check out kites. My boyfriend hadn't had a kite since he was little. We didn't end up buying one but had a great time looking around and talking with the lady in there. She knows what she's selling in there for sure and the quality of that. My boyfriend particularly liked the puzzles with motors. Intricate things... UGears mechanical models they were called. Anyhow, check it out if yoh are in the area! read more

I could not enjoy the selection bc the clerk was not masked as per state mandate.

I don't review often but this place is great. I brought my kids in today to purchase a kite and we were immediately helped and given tons of advice for buying a kite. She was really patient and explained their guarantee that every kite will fly. I was also surprised how affordable they are and we even bought two little kites for $5 that fly great. I was really impressed and asked if she owned the store and she said yes. This is the only kite store I will ever go to. Thanks for the fabulous service! read more

Winddriven - Toy Stores Near Me - Lincoln City, Oregon

What a terrific find! Winddriven Kites is a gem in the heart of Lincoln City, Oregon. When you go to the Oregon Coast one almost always thinks of kites. THIS is the place to find just the right one. The owners are friendly and helpful, recommending kites according to experience level. I had NO idea how many different kites are available. Plus, they have fun vintage toys, apparel, metal art and more. The owners are welcoming and never hurry you along. They made some beach recommendations for the best kite flying. Highly recommended! read more

A happy place! The lady who helped us was so sweet and knew a ton of interesting facts about all of the toys! This is a staple place to go to if you're in town! I visit every time and it always brings me joy! read more

A great store. Kites, banners, flags, toys. We enjoy visiting with the ladies who own the stores. They have one in Depot Bay too. We make sure to go to this store whenever we come to Lincoln City. Nice items, friendly service. They took pictures of their customers for several years and they on on the walls. We are there! read more

WOW! Great wind toy shop (next door to Deli 101) Spinners, kites, windsocks, flags and banners.... Plus, they carry a wide selection of Folkmanis puppets (dozens to pick from -- and Folkmanis really does make the best hand and finger puppets in the world...) and other good toys as well. We walked out with a beautiful tiger-dragon kite for the upcoming Kite Festival in June (and the upcoming holiday weekend;) a really unusual hand-made corkscrew spinner in red and deep orange to hang by the studio window; and a butterfly windsock that's gorgeous.... I love the choices and colors in this place! And they really know their kite stuff -- full of ideas and help for the novice (me) and more experienced kite flying folk (husband.) A good kite will set you back anywhere from $20 - 40, though I suspect you can get a few for less (or more,) and they come with string -- and they attach a spinner so your string won't get tangled.... Excellent! I love a good toy store.... :D read more

Just bought a very nice puzzle from them! I had an exchange and there was no issues whatsoever with the trade. They were more than happy to do it for me. Great selection if kites and the staff was excellent!!! read more

Winddriven - Love my puzzle! - Toy Stores Near Me - Lincoln City, Oregon

My family and I just recently visited Lincoln City. We walked around and went to all of the little shops. And we went to Winddriven for the first time. We loved it! It's such a cute store. The atmosphere is great. The prices are also great. The lady who was working when we went there was super nice. She talked to us and was really friendly. She gave us some stuff for free. I bought some Ink-a-doo tattoo pens when I was there. I would definately come back to this store next time I visit Lincoln City. read more

My son and I stopped in--owners were so friendly and welcoming. We were searching for a toy for our 1 1/2 year old daughter. Out 3 year old son found a cool Wonder Wand. I was hoping to get one for each kid so there would be no fighting. When I asked if there were any more, the owner told us it was the last one and gifted it to us! So kind, generous and over the top. We found a small wind up dinosaur for our son, and the Wonder Wand for our daughter. We will definitely be back! They also have 10% off for returning customers. Amazing, local business! read more

Love this store! We've tried to visit Lincoln City at least once a year, for the past 10 years. Didn't make it last year because of Covid. The staff is so helpful and the selection of flags is good. The double sided flags are very well made. read more

Good selection at modest prices and good information as well. We are kiting fans and have an arsenal of kites but we found a good selection of peels and enjoyed a great day of flying. read more

Good selection and fantastic service. The staff took the time to explain the different kinds of kites to us and made recommendations for what might be suitable for our group of adults and teens. We bought one "foil" which we never would have chosen on our own, and flying it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. We didn't do as well with a fancier kite but staff at the store gave us absolutely no trouble with exchanging it for a simpler box kite. Worth taking a look even if kites aren't your thing - lots of interesting gift items, etc. read more

My husband and I came into this store looking for replacement kite string after the kite string we had became a horrible mess of a knot. We looked originally on Amazon and thought that was the best deal we'd get ($55 for replacement string). We decided to stop into Winddriven and just do a quick price comparison. We were quickly greeted and received great customer service. My husband told the gentleman about his kite and he went off to find us the correct string, which was only $20! Beyond the great service we received this store was full of fun, nostalgic toys that brought us both back to our childhood. Our nieces are coming to visit Lincoln City soon and we're not only excited to fly the kite with them but also to take them back to this store! read more

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MEN AND BOYS....IS HOW MANY THEY CAN BUY! The folks here were great. And that is not saying nearly enough. We stopped in so my wife could get me a kite. Yes. I like kites, and she insisted we stop. GLAD we did. We got a little education on various kites from the owner. We didnt get pressure sold to buy the most expensive things. They recommended what they thought we would have the most FUN with. THAT is how you do it folks. They sold us 3 kites, my daughter got one we had in the air for almost 35 minutes straight, she had a blast! And she didnt even want one! My son got a little more kite, a delta style, which could handle a bit more wind. He flew it for almost an hour, we had to bring it in because we now knew how to identify when it WAS too much. Which is funny because they offered to guarantee them ALL. Now. My kite. BEST $36 ive spent in ages! No lie. I got a great parafoil style kite. Which uses straps to control it. The ladies there gave me a tutorial on how to use it. How to keep it in good shape, and how to prevent from killing it. And all the advice worked. I flew for 40 minutes straight. My first time with a kite of this type and i didnt want to stop. EVEN the wife flew it for a while and had loads of fun! We were both LITERALLY laughing out loud. It was that fun. Stop in here. Grab a kite. Say hi. You will have a smile in NO time. We will come back in just to say hi and thank you. No lie. read more

We LOVE this shop -- it's great fun for us adult "kids"! We always get a lot of beautiful and unique things as gifts for our out-of-state friends who are visiting ... or if we're going back East. We usually buy windsocks, banners, and outdoor "decorations". The staff is always so friendly and helpful -- and love to demonstrate the "toys" that they also have for sale. Thank you Winddriven folks. ~ Jean & Glenn Baird of Mulino, OR read more
