Delightful, locally owned selection of toys, games, and puzzles for all ages!
I've had the pleasure of visiting Toy Nation on multiple occasions. It's a very cozy local store that's run and managed by the sweetest and most helpful staff. I've gone in a few times as a last-minute gift situation, and the staff is always awesome about recommending items that are both enjoyable and affordable! They have a wide assortment of goods, including board games, puzzles, scooters, yoyos, stuffed animals, drawing books, dolls, candy, phone accessories, charm bracelets, playing card games (including Pokémon and Magic: the Gathering), remote controlled boats, cars, drones, and even makeup of you're into that sort of thing. They're also an affiliate of Tallahassee Paintball Sports, so they have paintball guns, supplies, and gear available too. The only real downside is that they don't carry many major brands (Lego, Thomas & Friends, Hot Wheels, etc.), but the upside to that is that they have a very unique selection of toys that's hard to find anywhere else. The store is organized neatly by age and by whether it's educational or just for fun, so it's very easy to find anything specific you're looking for (especially with such a helpful staff)! They frequently have items on sale and hold events on their Facebook page where you can come in sometimes and get free stuff. Worth checking out.
It's a great place to bring your kid or just check out on your own. They have a lot of items on display to try out, so it's just a fun place in general. Highly recommend if your looking for some...
Read moreMy 4 year old and I ventured into this venue one Saturday afternoon. The Lady manning the counter was warm, kind, caring, and very knowledgeable about all her products. She actively guided me around the shop while I described the toys my son was into and gave me pointers on good toys to show him (there were SO MANY DEMO TOYS to play with!). I also have severe adult ADHD and she showed me so many great fidget toys appropriate for school age kids and adults who work in quieter enviroments. The prices were beyond reasonable for such quality playthings that are fun, educational, and environmentally sustainable. Tons of their toys are also from U.S.A based companies.
They also had a wide variety of recreational items for older children as well. Also, gift wrapping (beautifully done with deft, skilled hands) available! One stop shop for last minute gifts!
Great store for ages 0-99+. Well stocked, gorgeous shelf displays, hands on table available. Could easily lose a few hours here with my kiddo. My son is begging to go back as soon as we can, and with the prices and our modest income, I'm happy to...
