Specializes in large selections of specific brands: Lego takes up half the shop and the other half is mostly Breyer house products (horses, accessories and rider dolls), Wow, Tolo and Bruder brand trucks and vehicles and Playmobil. There's a few odds and ends, too, including a few children's costumes, chalk-writeable lava lamps and an interesting jump rope set with powdered chalk. read more

This place missed the mark for us a couple days ago, but there were a few fun plusses. On the positive side, they positioned a giant lego man out at the corner that grabbed our attention and let us know there was a toy store in the vicinity. Inside, too, there was a giant stay puff marshmallow man and a collection of Ghostbusters toys that made us smile. But there were a couple issues that sucked the fun right out of it. The first was minor but important. Although their shelves were all full, their range of toys--in terms of variety--was possibly the poorest selection I had seen. The whole place is consumed by just a few different brands--legos, playmobile sets (just like legos), Minecraft sets, and an entire wall of plastic horse toys. But here is the major turnoff. The person running the place--a silver haired woman with glasses who may have been an owner or a manager, I couldn't tell--came off as extremely uptight. She paced the store like a hall monitor, preemptively scolding our kids BEFORE they even touched anything. In the four or five minutes we were in the store, we witnessed her similarly jump on several sets of kids--none of which were doing anything inappropriate. They weren't running or tossing anything, but--for instance, one set was simply taking a Minecraft set (packaged in a sealed cardboard box similar to what a puzzle would be stored in) off the shelf and turning it in their hands to see what it came with. The woman quickly warned them that if they broke anything, they'd have to pay for it. And sure enough, every few feet there was a posted sign and then another and then another--all of which warned kids not to touch anything. The woman's demeanor made my husband and I flinch and we quickly shuffled our kids out the door. Our 8-year-old then asked why the woman would own a toy store if she didn't like kids, which pretty much describes our entire experience. In such a nice walkable town, this *would have* been a convenient place to pick up a souvenir or an activity for kids to play with on the beach. But we ended up putting our money away for a later toy shop and headed down to the brewery down the street (storm something) which stocked board games and coloring books for kids. Sad that a brewery was more family friendly than a toy store, but that was the consensus. read more
