My son, 4, and I passed this place the other day and decided to stop in. When I say they have the best of the best toys, I swear it’s true. The second story was our favorite. My son ended up with a whole new Lego collection lol. The service is impeccable. There was always someone right there waiting to help and happy to make conversation. Very friendly and personable staff. We were in there for about an hour, but it wasn’t just shopping, my son had a BLAST! There’s display toys to play with all over over the place so it ended up being a memory making experience. I 100% recommend setting aside some time to check this place out. It’s the last true toy store out there. I’m so grateful we stopped here. I’ve never seen my son happier( until it was time to leave, then he was NOT, in...

An absolutely incredible toy store if ever I saw one! You simply must come and see it for yourself. I absolutely love its old-fashioned charm will all the toys that baby boomers grew up with, but what I love even more is that the owner was nice enough to let me take a ride on their antique manually controlled Marshall elevator! They don't normally let visitors use it, even those who are in wheelchairs, but when the owner found out about my passion for elevators upon me telling him about my YouTube channel, he let me take it for a quick ride. A huge thank you to him. If they do have a satellite location on Ivy Street with an elevator that is open to the public, but that's beside the point. The point is, you must visit this AWESOME toy store when you visit this...
