Small and well-stocked. I found one of my favorite card games here within seconds of walking in. I…read morewas also looking for a wooden jigsaw puzzle for 8+ but had no luck. The service was pleasant and was busy noting an order from another customer. Alas, I discovered later than my card game included extra cards and excluded necessary cards. I tried to return the set but the store was on off season hours, and I missed closing by 20 minutes. We can play around the error and perhaps correct the cards. Bummer, and this could happen in any retail situation. I'd go back to this shop again.

The best part of this store was the owner (I assume he was the owner). He clearly likes kids and…read moreknows his products. I have been an educator for 19 years and it was clear when we walked in the door that he was welcoming of kids of all ages. I commented on it to my daughter and she agreed that she felt that warmth. We didn't end up buying anything but there was one you I'd have returned to buy if our ferry hadn't been leaving so early. Next time we are in Friday Harbor, we will pay another visit and think about upcoming birthdays. The selection is varied and broad.

Ok, WOW! Frickin', just, WOW! This store is/was everything…read moreI wanted it to be. We stumbled in with zero expectations, and it's just wall-to-wall cool stuff! If you're interested in anything toy centric, this place is completely boss! I found a Funko Pop that I'd been wanting, normally only found in 3-pack, all by his lonesome. Also, the guy that helped me recommended a great place for poutine, and other cool stuff to do around town. Total score!

My wife and I love whimsy and I'm a Star Wars fan too - so we came to the right spot. Tons of toys…read moreand collectibles for every age group. Part toy store and adjacent Toy Museum, both are fabulous to wander through and spend a half hour or so. The staff was excellent and friendly, and informative about the history of the toys in the store. Enjoyed talking of shared Star Wars experiences too without hesitation! Outstanding store in lovely downtown Victoria.

Came in here randomly on a walk down Oak Bay ave. I'm a pretty minimalistic parent and normally…read moreget a bit skeptical of specialty toy stores.... But was pleasantly surprised! High quality brands of toys for reasonable prices. Lots of crafts for various ages. Large selection of dollhouses and accessories. Small book selection, mostly featuring Canadian topics. I even spotted a few gems that I used to play with when I was a kid.

My family and I were eating next door at MexiGo and my 2 daughters really wanted to go in and look…read morearound. My children were waiting patiently for me to clean up our table and were against the window looking in the store. I went to walk in with them and buy them some toys for being good all day. A younger person came and opened the door as I approached and I thought they were going to open the door for us but quite the opposite happened. The person came outside and angrily told my children that they were too close to the glass and needed to back away from the store. I have never seen such terrible treatment of children at a toy store. Seriously? I don't know why anyone would want to buy anything from a place that treats children so poorly.

Darvill's Book Store was our fourth and final stop while in Eastsound (9/16/26). This indie…read morebookstore has been in business since 1975, but has been renovated and under new ownership since 2020. Welcoming staff onsite. It is well arranged and curated based on subject. Nice variety of other retail items like art prints, cards, items of culinary interest, whimsical stuffies, stickers, totes, sunglasses, journals, etc. Definitely gaze from the windows in the children's titles area - gorgeous beachfront view! There's also an onsite cafe with a few two tops and a seating area. Highly recommended visit!
