Jack's Toy Shop is the best toy store in the Inland Empire. The employees are so helpful and friendly. They have so many wonderful toys. I love bringing my grandchildren here. They even gift wrap the toys for free. For people who complain about the Needoh's rules of buying two per family, just follow the rules and you won't have a problem. read more

This is a nice toy shop. It's fun to take your kids too - and it's hard to leave. This review is about Pokémon. I visited the shop, hoping I could purchase some Pokémon cards for my son who is obsessed.. Currently Pokémon cards are very hard to find because of the current popularity, and I went in here, hoping that they catered more towards kids because a lot of the big box shops that carry them are being overrun by adult collectors... I was sad to see that they had Pokémon cards in stock that were marked up 3X MSRP.... MSRP Pokémon cards cost a roughly $4.50 a pack.. they had Perfect Order single packs for $12 each. My jaw was nearly on the floor. read more

HOW RUDE!!! I had a really disappointing experience at this store today. I came in with a couple of friends my age because we were looking for a specific toy. From the moment we walked in, the employees were hovering over us and watching us in a way that felt extremely uncomfortable and unnecessary. We were not being loud, disruptive, or disrespectful, we were simply browsing. As we were about to check out, one of the employees told us we were "free to leave," and verbatim, "we don't need your five bucks." The tone was rude, dismissive, and completely uncalled for. We had every intention of making a purchase, and there was no reason for us to be treated that way. Being watched so closely and then spoken to like that felt incredibly disrespectful. It also raised concerns for me about whether we were being treated differently because of how we looked. No customer should feel singled out or unwelcome when they walk into a store simply trying to buy something. Respect goes both ways. Customers deserve to be treated with basic courtesy, regardless of their age or appearance. I hope this is taken seriously so that no one else has to experience the same kind of treatment because it was absolutely disgusting. read more

They don't make shops like this anymore - thank goodness we have Jacks! Such a great selection of toys for kids of all ages, even newborns. From old school toys to educational toys, there is something for every kid. With it being Christmas time, I do wish they had a program to sponsor children & buy them toys in the store. They put together a wish list and we can shop at Jacks to get them what they'd like for Christmas. Please do this next Christmas!! read more

Today jacks toy shop posted on their social media that they had extra boxes of needohs. So me and my daughter went. I drop my daughter off she goes in pays no big deal. Then I park and come in shortly behind her and the lady at the door stops us and says sorry you can't buy anything else because she already got some it's 2 per family. Yet every other family In there is being allowed to purchase 2 per person. I saw a young boy with a 20 in his hand go in by himself and come out with multiple. So if you want to say it is 2 per family don't pick and choose who that rule applies to. While I'm standing in line the employees are complaining about how customers are listing items they have bought from them for a more expensive price even though they are marking them up at least double. Kind of ironic. read more

What a cute shop for babies, toddlers and young children's toys. Friendly and welcoming with bright smiles in a bright shop. Cute storefront window captures your attention with the detailed display of a fantasy land. Organized products makes it easy to find what you're looking for. Parking right in front of the store on the Main Street or throughout the downtown area but may be a little crowded on weekends or evenings during popular hours. read more

Jacks Toy Shop - New version - Toy Stores Near Me - Redlands, California

All I can say about Jack's toy shop is how terrible and rude the workers are to the customers. today they had a restock on needohs so me and my daughter went after she got out of school. I dropped my daughter off first and she got up to the register paid for the needohs then I was in line a few people behind her. Once it got to my turn at the register, the tall brown haired employee that was working the line. She was picking and choosing who to give service to and almost denied me because she said it was only three per family, and claimed I was there twice. even though there was a family right ahead of me with four kids, along with that being their second time through. and on top of that they sold to families with multiple kids all day. So if you are going to say 3 per family but pick and choose when to abide by that you should not be in retail. Not to mention they illegally make their items up more then double the price. read more

I love how they let us feel the toys before we buy it. I also like how they announce when they get restocks. I went there today and they announced they just got needohs in stock. Thanks-Layla the 10 year old. read more

Came here today for the first time and spent over an hour here! So many gifts for various ages, even adults. Staff were incredibly helpful and so nice. Definitely coming back again! read more

So thrilled we found this amazing toy shop. We will be back for sure and I'm hoping they can ship. This was the first time my 6 year old had been in a legit toy store! read more

I visited this store fairly recently with some friends as we were looking for a popular toy. Upon entering we were given rude stares and were even followed around the store. There were some other people in the store that were not given this treatment. Which made my friends and I feel very uncomfortable because we were simply browsing and not causing a ruckus. I understand that this is an establishment made for children and young adults; ruckus may come with this audience. But that is far from what my friends and I were doing. The lady who had followed us around was the owner and in front of our faces she had told her coworkers to watch us. Customer service really matters, especially in places that are meant to be friendly and inviting. Unfortunately, the way my friends and I were treated made it clear that some customers aren't given the benefit of the doubt. Because of this experience, I wouldn't recommend visiting if you just want to look around or take your time deciding what to buy. read more

I've been coming here for years for kids birthday or Christmas gifts. Family owned local business. You get much better customer service than the box stores . Prices seem reasonable ( I'm no expert) . They will even gift bag for you . My most recent trip (5/18/2024 around 4:00 - 4:30 pm ) there were 3 females working. I was here for 3 kids birthday gifts ( busy month) . They all were super helpful . At checkout they even made sure price tags were removed and I had batteries. I don't think they were involved in ownership of the business ( could be wrong) but the service I received was like they were . those are employees you want to keep . I will continue to shop here when I can and will highly recommend you shop here too read more

Great toys for all ages of kids and littie kids and baby's great customer service great selections

Very cute store with a huge selection of unique toys not sold in any big box department store. Staff are super friendly. I especially love the epic Calico Critters window display. Prices as what you would expect of a small independent shop in a downtown. read more

Being in a pandemic can bring on all sorts of challenges, but being with children during it definitely brings a little more crazy! I am pleased to write a glowing review for this shop during these times. They have stayed open for curbside pickup allowing families to purchase gifts, books, games, and making Easter baskets for kids! The ordering over the phone was simple, and I was able to pop by real fast and do a quick pickup! The store itself is very cool! It has a great selection of games! There is unique toys and education toys as well. The quality definitely comes from the staff and owners. Each time I have interaction whether it be on the phone or in person it has truly been pleasant. I am happy to support local shops and will continue to do so. :) They are definitely worth checking out. read more

We cannot rave about this local family-run business enough. The selection is impressive, and the family and friends who run it are the bee's knees. Erica, Janette, and the whole gang genuinely care about their customers and love making children happy. They have the ultimate selection of carefully curated toys, hand-selected by their employees, who are all kids at heart. They always greet you with a smile and go the extra mile to help when selecting special gifts for birthdays and unique occasions. They also do free gift wrapping. All these extra touches make shopping at Jax a fun occasion in today's impersonal click-buy-deliver world. Shop local and support your Redlands businesses. read more

My kids love jacks! The vibe in there is really fun and the staff is friendly. The toys are fairly priced too.

Perfect selection of speciality toys and for a good value too. The workers are always so helpful and kind .

I've been going to Jack's toy store since before it was a toy store (they had the best shoes when they were "A Little Bit of Sole")! This family owned toy store in the heart of downtown Redlands is the absolute best! The staff is all so kind, super helpful, and more than understanding when your two year old puts every car in the store into a shopping cart for the sole purpose of pushing it around with him. Jack's has such unique gifts and even does free gift wrap so it is our go to as we are frantically searching for a last minute gift on the way to a birthday party! They even have nostalgic throw back items and the best games! There is always a movie playing and a play area for entertaining kids while trying to check off your gift list. Love the owners and their kids are so sweet and well behaved! Would definitely recommend! read more

I will come back for every kid birthday. read more

After the demise of World of Discoveries in Redlands, Diane and I were at a loss to find unusual and educational toys and crafts for our grandchildren. It turns out that Jax Toys fills the void nicely. After being here just once I can see why there are so many five-star reviews. Besides being filled with all manner of toys, games, and child scooters appropriate for those about age 2 to 58, one of the owners is almost always on premises to give helpful guidance regarding objects suitable for different age groups, and to direct customers to age-appropriate sections of the store. And, besides offering a wide selection of modern merchandise, prices are reasonably priced. The place is also clean and inviting, and it is nice to be extended friendly and personal customer service for a change. read more

You won't regret it. read more

I was out Christmas shopping with my son and needed to buy toys for my nieces and nephews. My son said there was a toy store on State street that we could check out. Walking in the place is a little hole-in-the-wall, but jam packed from floor to ceiling with a great variety of toys, games, puzzles and so much more. The entire staff we encountered, provided amazing customer service! I went to the register and the girl at the counter was very friendly and asked if the gifts were a Christmas, birthday or everyday gifts and I told her Christmas. She then proceeds to place each gift into individual christmas gift bags with tissue paper and bows. She said it was free with purchase. Wow!! If I could give more than 5 stars I would just for customer service alone. I was able to get the gifts I needed and support an awesome local small business at the same time. I'm so glad my son knew about this hidden gem! Is the store small? YES. Are the prices a little higher? YES! Is it worth it to shop and support this small business? ABSOLUTELY!! Thank you Jack's for the amazing service, you have a customer for life. read more

Little disappointed in the selection of toys , over all it has varieties for mostly older kids etc, searching for gifts here and there. thought this spot would be a hidden gem but it's definitely just a locally owned spot in Redlands that the locals support only I'm sure . Anyways !! Probably won't be back, but thanks again. read more

Walked in on a rainy day with my daughter and was greeted immediately by a young lady asking if there was something I was looking for. She guided me to the section I was looking for, and was very friendly. It's a small shop but is jam packed a wide variety of toys. My 6 year old daughter had fun browsing around. The prices are a little higher than the big box stores but the service made up for it. The young lady mentioned they have a reward program while checking out so I joined. I'm sure me and my girl will visit again. read more

Love this store but they are not open til 9pm on Friday's as it says they are on Yelp. Pretty bummed I just came all the way here and they were closed but their hours are listed on their door, they close at 6pm. But- great store, great gifts and friendly people. read more

I came in looking for Christmas themed gifts which I know is a very specific. However, the employee that greeted me at the door pointed me to the Christmas items in the front of the store. Then was nice enough to check to see if they had any Christmas puzzles for young children. They didn't have any. None the less the service was so excellent. I ended up getting a Christmas Tree Pop It! Which was perfect and an item on my shopping list. I would 100% come back! read more

One of the best businesses in Redlands! Super friendly staff including Jeanette, Erica, owners Mike & Erica, and others, are always welcoming and helpful. Very well managed shop. A great variety of toys for all interests and ages, for competitive prices. There always seems to be new items in stock every time we visit. Gift wrapping included for presents too, so no reason not to come here for all gift needs! read more

We traveled to this small gem, even when toy r us was open. Room for kids to play in has been repurposed but this a great shop ...that gift wraps read more

I don't know any kid in Redlands who doesn't love Jack's (formerly Jax), and I know a lot of kids. It's more like a play space than a retail shop where parents might be worried about their kids touching the merch. Touching the merch is actually encouraged, and there is so much of it. Being a former child myself, I appreciate their selection of retro toys blended with the latest games and gadgets. The owner and employees are without fail friendly, eager to help, and welcoming. read more

My son reminded me today that I had promised to take him here last week to replace his Gumby figure so we went today. I decided to let him go in alone with the money because he's 8 now and likes doing things that give him a sense of independence. So not only is the staff absolutely wonderful simply for knowing both my children by name, but one of the girls actually walked my son out to the car to make sure he was safe and came over to chat for a moment and say hello to my other son. I am forever loyal! I encourage everyone to shop there for all your children's birthday, holiday and "just because" gifts, you simply cannot find a better selection or better service. read more

I have always walked past Jax and even sent some of my own clients to the store. I've never had a need to go in as I don't have any kids to buy toys for. I walked in yesterday and was pleasantly surprised. I want to go in there and just hang out myself!!! Loved it!! The Reason I walked in is because I have an eight-year-old niece and she is in town for her birthday. I honestly have no clue what to get an eight-year-old girl. You would think fun princess stuff. So I walked in all confused and the worker asked me if I needed anything. I explained that this little girl likes anything from mermaids to fart toys. He was so helpful and was able to give me plenty of options in my price range. I Would have been completely lost without him. I have tried to go on Amazon to order for nieces and nephews and I always get disappointed and I just guess. I can honestly say I will not be using Amazon ever again to buy a toy. The personal touch that this toy store has is unbelievable. I love being able to support local businesses that seem to care so much. My niece absolutely loves the mix of toys that I got her. The employee even was able to gift wrap my toys based on what he knows that my niece likes. Another fun fact.... they had toys from my childhood. It Was very nostalgic. I highly highly recommend this place read more

This shop has every toy a kid could want. My daughter loves Calico Critters and they had just about every set available. Another of mine likes fidget toys and they had a wall full of them. Also, the staff was friendly. We were there for the game shop next door but I'm glad we stopped in. read more
