The Toy Store — Local services in Lawrence

The Toy Store downtown is a magical place full of things you might not be able to find just anywhere. Three floors of fun! Super expansive amounts of products any child would love.

This place is full of creative gift ideas! The amazing employees will also package your gifts in a very cute brown bag with the Toy Store logo, and whatever color tissue paper you would like!

Board games, card games, and dice games. Baby supplies like first toys, the super soft stuffed animals, teething chews, and even some feeding supplies; such as plates and silverware. Books! Baby books, to young adult chapter books. Outdoor gadgets to help with any adventure! Balance bikes, scooters, and tricycles included. Kites, bug catchers, rockets. So many different science project kits! Musical instruments! Arts and crafts! ALL the plushies and stuffed animals galore. Rare Lego sets. Hand puppets. Even unique and "old school" candies are available. Surprisingly there is a section of novelty socks that are rather silly too! Also, if you are on the hunt for Pokemon cards, there is quite a selection.

If you're on the hunt for that special gift for a kid, or even someone who is a kid at heart, definitely check out The Toy Store.

The only downsides I would include... The products you find here are rather expensive, and if you take your child with you, they will want ALL...

This is a great store!

Lawrence is so lucky to have a store like this on Mass. So many toy stores can't compete with Amazon and other online retailers, this kind of downtown toy store is becoming an endangered species.

The staff is always friendly and helpful. The return policy is great as well.

The 3 story store is stocked with great toys from stuffed animals, to science experiments, and lots of books. They also have all the latest Lego and Star Wars and whatever the flavor-of-the-month is. The store itself is very kid-friendly with plenty of toys around for your kids to "sample" while you get your shopping done. There's so many small fun things that it's hard not to leave with at least one purchase.

Generally, this store's prices do not ever beat Amazon, but it's usually off by a few dollars. Personally, I think it's worth the up-charge to keep a store like this local. Also, if your honest, you'd totally pay that $2 just to have your kids quiet and happy for a little bit. So shopping here is worth it.

Additionally, they have events like Science Saturdays where you can bring your kids (or not) and have them learn...

This place is a great gem for Lawrence! I feel that we are so lucky to have a great place like this, when there are so few of them left in the world. The Toy Store encompasses three full floors of shopping joy! For myself, the centerpiece is the ground floor, with its excellent stock of LEGO building sets, about the only thing that they lack here would be the "pick a brick" they can be had at the actual LEGO store. To be said, I prefer the Toy Store to the LEGO store. Puzzles, children's, toddlers, infants, science, board games, this floor alone is amazing. The lower level is full of physical play, musical items, a whole room of clearance items. The upper level is books and learning items.

One of these days I'll get pictures, but generally I'm too enthralled...
