    Oooo

    Clean and neat store but the downside is I did almost get attacked by their unleashed dog which I'm not cool with. It came zooming up and circling my ankles aggressively making me worried I might accidentally step on his paw so I had to stay frozen until the owner came to take it away. I'm normally fine with dogs but not this one, and that just made me want to leave the store immediately after only looking around at two shelves. Will just buy online, will not be back.

    Eastside Trains is an iconic model train store, probably one of best train stores on the West Coast. They have every gauge (size) of model trains and represent most manufacturers. The store is not a budget children's store of toys. The items sold at Eastside Trains are "mostly" for serious train modelers. Today's model trains are sooooo realistic in sound, performance, and appearance that if videoed it's difficult to determine if it's a model or the real thing. Eastside Trains has that caliber of model trains. In summary Eastside Trains has high end model trains, an outstanding service center, and a very large selection of all the model train parts and pieces to build a complete model train layout.

    This big kid never wants to leave and wants to buy everything.  Our son likes it here too!

    This is absolutely, hands down, the best toy store around. Not only do they have the cutest stuff,…read morebut the owner, Nicki, is truly dedicated to her customers. They just received a shipment of Nee Dohs, and she put a limit on how many each person could buy--unlike other stores that let customers purchase the entire shipment. I was able to buy one for my son and one for his friend. All of her staff are wonderful. I highly recommend this toy store.

    Growing up, Teri's Toybox was our main go-to toy store near the house. It had a good amount of…read morefloor space and fun displays with a variety of offerings. Both my sister and I collected TY Beanie Babies growing up and each time TY released new beanie babies, we would try and come here to see what they had. The toys were magical to each of us and fortunately our tastes were different enough that the items we wanted did not really overlap. This was great for us and our parents as we did not mix up whose beanie baby was whose. We were appreciative Teri's Toybox had enough different toys we were not forced to get the same ones if we wanted one. We found a treasure trove of other cool items here throughout our childhood as well. More recently, it has become a site of searching for toys for kids of family friends or church care packages. The floorspace has been reduced and the displays are a bit more cramped together than they used to be, though they still have a variety of offerings. The music played can be a little odd for being a children's toy store, though plays a little quieter so it is not so jarring.

    Calico Toy Shoppe is a prominent toy store on Winslow Way, the cute walkable main street of…read moreBainbridge Island's downtown. We managed to hurry past it on the way to lunch, but I knew there was no way we were getting back to the ferry without going inside. Not with a two-year-old, a five-year-old, and my mother in our crew. To our kids' credit, I wanted to get them a souvenir, or at least allow their grandma to buy them something small with my supervision (she can't be trusted on her own). The store was colorful and appealing, and I couldn't deny my boys the pleasure of a quick, moderate visit. Calico was well stocked with toys and games, and my two-year-old immediately went for a giant cement mixer set that would board the ferry out over my dead body. I told the kids and my mom that they could buy one toy each, and that it would have to be something we could easily take home. There was a large selection of stuffies at the front of the shop, and I strongly encouraged them to find something in that area. Our older son obligingly picked an adorable baby turtle, but his brother refused every little stuffie I offered. Instead, he found a cheap disposable pinwheel that cost $3.99. He's been obsessed with fans for about half of his life and apparently, the pinwheel counted. My brother and sister-in-law got a couple baby toys for their babies and we went on our way, all the kids happy with their loot. We've been home for over a week and the baby turtle, now named Baby Turtle, has a place of honor in our five-year-old's bed. The pinwheel pops up in random spots in our house, sometimes waved with aggression in front of our faces. I liked Calico Toy Shoppe and would definitely shop there if I lived on Bainbridge Island. I'd recommend stopping in if you're visiting with kids. It's a great place to pick up a little souvenir.

    Great selection of toys & plushies. They had so many cute squishables. Prices are a little high for…read morethe value in my opinion.
