$5.0 for the police car
Arnel D.

Used to frequent the location in 4S before they became a boxing gym. This location is always busy and has all the toys a child can imagine and more. It's easy to get in and out from and items are reasonably priced. This time around my son wanted a police car. How fitting was it that they charged $5.0 for it!? Lol Be back soon when I'm in the area.

Gepettos is the best toy shop around! They have everything for any child (or child at heart). Prices are a little on the higher end but overall reasonable and they offer free gift wrapping and punch cards on purchases which can be redeemed for money off future purchases. Staff was helpful at assisting with ages & presents. They also are very lax about kids playing and trying out toys. Def recommend!

Wrapped and ready !

Love having a great neighborhood store like Geppetto's ! Life with kids means my social calendar is filled with birthday parties! Most often, I have an idea of what to get as a birthday gift and I prefer to order it online. But occasionally I like to drop by Geppetto's for an interesting and trendy gift and save me the hassle of gift wrapping. Toys are priced at a premium but you get a curated selection, friendly staff, free gift wrapping, easy returns to any Geppetto's and a loyalty stamp card.

Stepping into Geppetto's was like stepping back in time for me. It was just a toy store with puzzles, Lego sets, baby dolls, books educational gifts,and more.It covers all age groups from infants thru around 14 yrs. Sale Associate,Hannah, was very helpful and very friendly in finding some gifts,checking me out and wrapped my gifts! If you find yourself in the area, check out Geppetto's for yourself!

Geppetto's is a treat for kids and adults alike! As you walk in you're immediately taken back to…read morechildhood when you see shiny new toys surrounding you just waiting to be played with. The delight and wonder in my children's eyes bring back the magic from earlier years and let me relive it all again through them. Geppetto's has toys everywhere you look; cars, dolls, books, bears, crafts, quirky knickknacks, blocks, balls, trucks, puppets, and everything in between. The store is packed with products yet maintains a classy and organized feel (unlike other giant toy stores). They let kids play with toys around the shop and the atmosphere is energetic and fun. Prices are steep; very steep...however the toys are top notch quality and you are in a tourist spot, so everything is pricey. Geppetto's is a must visit for anyone who has ever loved or currently loves to play.

This Gepetto's is probably our favorite one. We have been to the one in Del Mar, Old Town, and…read moreFashion Valley. This one at seaport is pretty big compared to the rest. My kids love ending our little outings here and picking up a toy. Price wise you are paying for boutique/experience but it's really not that much compared to buying it at major department stores. They also carry toys that are not sold online/elsewhere. Soif you are looking for Legos or calico critters that are hard to find stop at a gepettos if you see one. I have found some Polly pocket sets that are sold out or in limited supply.

The gentleman working at the shop (who I think was the owner) was very helpful and friendly. I…read moreheard him helping out many people and answering questions while we were browsing. We had never flown a kite before and when we went, there wasn't much wind, so we weren't sure if we could get a kite up in the air or not. We asked if they offered rentals, and he said that he has loaner kites that we could fly if we wanted at no charge. I thought that was super nice. We were able to get our loaner kite in the air and it was cute to hear families tell their kids to "look at the mermaid in the air!" I was able to make some good memories and spend an idyllic afternoon flying the kite, and I really wanted to support the business so we bought our own kite. It had a duck design and it's super adorable and easy to fly.

Story time: my friend decided to borrow a kite to fly since he loves kites, and he did actually do…read morepretty well. The wind was strong and as he let the kite fly up and up he didn't watch the end of the string and POP, the ring left his hand and made its way to the marina. It caught on the very last boat possible and now here we are with no rental kite, but after 40 minutes working with Marina staff trying to figure out how we can get it down, we go back to the kite store and the wonderful woman running it tells us that normally that kite costs $40 but since he lost it she'll just charge $20! I fully expected to get scalped but she was actually very nice. There's a lot of super cool kites in the store, not the least of which is the 4 string one, but I forgot the name. I suck at kite flying but anyone who has an interest or passion should check out this store!

I didn't buy it at the time, but when I got home I decided to buy it over the phone. When I called I spoke to Asma. She took care of my order and even wrapped it up in cute nautical paper for me! I received it just a few days later. I was very happy with my purchase and will return there next year in person. They also have really cool pirates up near the ceiling that are fun to get a photo of. I recommend this store for souvenirs when you are in Seaport Village!

This seems like such a fun (and appropriate) store for a shopping center like Seaport Village! My son thought the pirate themed items were great! There were clothes for adults and children alike. I thought the onesie that said "I smell trouble" was just too cute. They have pirate shirts and hats. The huge selection of guns was truly unique. There were lots of signs, plaques, and even wall art. There are items even hanging from the ceiling here. The nautical items are my favorite things to explore here. Brass bells, signs, and clocks are throughout the store. I really like lighthouses, and we found the cutest jewelry box and snow globe. We liked them so much that we ended up buying both. They had some nice compasses and clocks that would make nice gifts for anyone who likes nautical stuff. The service was good here too. The salesperson who rang up our items was both thoughtful and sweet. She made sure to ask if we found everything we were looking for and wrapped our items with such care. She was also very knowledgable about the items here too. If you're anywhere near Seaport Village and need to buy a gift for someone who likes nautical or pirate themed items, you'll never go wrong with stopping by Captain's Cove for a unique gift!!
