If you are a hands-on parent or grandparents who doesnt want your kids face shoved in a damn cell phone all day, this is where you need to go to detach them from that garbage.

Also there a a variety of materials one can purchase to support a home project. The location is open to retail Two days a week, however there are classes available for home refurb folks. I appreciated the absence of shipped up items intended to look like a "local" find. I also appreciated interesting and authentic creations. It's a neat and often clever little niche Anchorage needed and it's part of a drive up mall resurgence on 36th. This store has a walk up entrance you won't see from the ample mall parking where you can find a coffee shop, a restaurant and other interesting locations. The entrance is on 36th and if you wish one can park on the side road and forgo the parking lot altogether

There's classic kiddie games you probably forgot about like pickupsticks and jacks! They've got all kinds of adult card games like Cards Againts Humanity.

If you love buying classic toys from The Communist Party of the United States of America, this is the toy store in Anchorage, Alaska for you! My family and I were rudely accosted out of the store not only by The Communist Leftist Employees of Classic Toys in Anchorage, but the customers of The Communist Party who buy their petty wares as well. I'm appalled by the employees' rudeness to those who came to shop for Christmas toys for the family, but some people really don't appreciate the good American dollar, especially The Communist Leftists that own and operate this establishment. Some rude cashier even admitted he was a Communist and was offended by being called a Communist by another customer! I don't recommend this pettiness coming from any establishment nor the rudeness of others who work in customer service in the great country of the United States of America! If you want great service from a classic toy store, I'd recommend you shop online or somewhere else! read more

This store was packed! Toys were being handled like crazy and nothing being wiped down. To make it worse, customers and employees accosted my wife while struggling with our two toddlers for not being able to wear a mask due to a medical condition. We were about to support our local businesses by dropping a good amount of money. We refuse to ever support any local businesses that discriminated against Hispanic women that have conditions that prevent mask wearing. read more

As someone born and raised in this city I would never support this business. You can find local crafts by Alaskan artists nearly EVERYWHERE downtown - the 5th ave mall, Kobuk Coffee, or for Fur Rondy specifics the Fur Rondy store has all the same pins and better selection. Sans the lack of ethics behind this business, I would not shop here due to the lack of value and mark up of local items you can find at other places for less. To support Alaskan artists during Fur Rondy, check out the craft bizarre and market at Dimond Center that starts during the last week in Feb.
