Play on The Strand — Local services in Galveston

We just have to say that we absolutely love everything about this toy store! Every time we make a trip down to Galveston we make it a point to stop here and say hello to the owner and to check out all the great toys. When you step inside and he greats you and your children you automatically get swept back to your childhood. This is what a toy store should be all about. Even though we can only come down 1 or 2 times a year the owner still remembers who we are. He even gives great recommendations on toys our son would like for his age range. And he is always spot on! That’s what is missing from the “big box” stores. It’s that home town feeling. The kids get to explore the shop and even test out/play with toys before you even buy them. They also have a few arcade games that you can play. Being a doctor who fan I love the classic pinball game he has and my wife always hold on to a few quarters for when we come here so I can play a few games. So if you’re looking for a good wholesome toy store to get great long lasting toys for your kids or you are a big kid at heart this is the place to come to! If I could give more then 5 stars I would in...

This was one of the best toy stores I've ever been to. It has unique, interesting, cool and curious toys, games and more. The store itself is laid out well and the customer service from the owner and staff is one of the best. For someone who values customer experience, this was top notch. They even have excellent mask requirements and convenient sanitation. We ended up picking up an inflatable air fort and a few other games. You could literally spend over an hour in here just browsing around looking at the cool and interesting selection. They even have toys you can try out or play with. If you're lucky enough you can use the ring on the string and see if it can catch on the hook. I did! You won't find stuff in here that you would at most toy stores. This is a definite must visit and see if you are in Galveston! You won't be...

This little shop is an amazing place to have stumbled across. They have all sorts of toys, puzzles, games etc. Best of all if you are looking for gifts (for both young and old) which do not require a computer, X-Box, etc this shop should absolutely be on your list of places to go.

The owner and the staff are super nice, friendly, and knowledgeable about their products. They are the type of folks that make you want to come back.

The only negative I could think of is that the area in general (not just this store) are not very wheelchair friendly. If you have mobility challenges shopping from their store via the online portal may be a...
