I was surprised that I got charged on my credit card the same amount but in USD. Didn't have a bad experience--staff was helpful finding what I needed and the store has a good collection.

My little boy loves it in this toy store because of the train set in the middle of the store . The…read morestaff are very kind and never make him go away ( he doesn't usually like to share that table with other kids also wanting to play ). I also like that the staff don't hover over the kids playing. They let them play as the parents are usually near by watching. I take my kids to Granville island quite often. They get their hair cuts upstairs at the Hairloft and after my son will always run down to Knotty toys to play with the train set. We do not usually leave this store empty. I've purchased MANY wooden numbers , a couple boxes of Tegu magnetic blocks ( these are great toys!) , puzzles , wooden play figures, and my most recent purchase was the 132 piece Melissa and doug deluxe wooden train set. Knotty toys is my favourite toy store in Granville island.

Great selection of Lego, PlayMobil, and Technic toys. I want to give this a better rating but had…read moreto run out of the store because some guy kept farting around the whole place so I couldn't breathe anymore. I'll try to go back in the future to give this a more in depth review.

Granville Island Toy Company is a fun toy store. One thing I've noticed and love about Vancouver,…read morethere is a toy store in every neighbourhood. Actually, I notice there tends to be individual services (florist, fruit/veg stand/ butcher/ baker) for most things in each area...very different from the US...and I think it's much nicer. Granville Island Toy Co. has been around for quite awhile. The emphasis is on quality play things, but they do have some of the latest trend items also (like Frozen dolls). The shop is nicely laid out. The displays are inviting. It is easy to find things. On my last visit, I noticed a bunch of siege engines and Da Vinci machine models on display. They were very well made and would be so fun to mess with. This store has a great selection of popular, high end toys: Playmobil, Calico Critters (I lovvvve Calico Critters), Legos, Schleich. More trendy stuff by Funko. An excellent selection of games of all types for all ages & lots of puzzles. Excellent place for stocking stuffers. They also have Corolle dolls - these are lovely for any child that wants a baby doll - they smell like vanilla, so well made & sweet looking. The staff here is friendly and knowledgeable. They aren't pushy. Granville Island Toy Co. offers gift wrap, gift cards and has a nice customer loyalty program. You get $5 for every $100 you spend and an invite to their annual 25% off sale. A fun stop for any toy lover visiting Main Street!

Like another reviewer, I remember coming in here as a child, even when it was located across the…read morestreet in a tiny shop. I would crane my neck to catch a glimpse of the gorgeous toy-filled window as the bus fly by on the way to school. The window is still crammed full of amazingly fun-looking toys, but now it's about five sizes bigger and on the opposite side of the street (which was the coming-home side of my daily bus ride). If you need to buy a present for a kid, or a kid at heart, you will find something perfect here. Guaranteed. The prices are not dirt-cheap, but when the goal is a beaming smile on a child's face, who's to argue? Yes, if you have the time you can order things online and probably find them for cheaper, but if you're not in the kid loop full-time, how will you even know what you want to get? Try Kaboodles - the friendly, helpful staff will be happy to make some recommendations based on age, gender and interests to get you started in your browsing, and they definitely have options you simply cannot find at a discount store.

Not as if Toys R Us could ever find space in this posh neighbourhood, so it's a great option…read more Was in the area waiting for my meeting nearby so decided to kick some tires and see what type of present to get for my nieces and nephew, and glad I've got one down. They got these really cool tin lunch kits, and while looking for Sponge Bob Square or whatever you call it, i did find the Spam, totally hilarious. Tasty stuff, btw ;) Annoyingly, they've got a small Hello Kitty section in the back ;( And surprised they still carry some of the old Jellyhead stuffed animals. amex, yay!

Wow! This store was…read morerecommended to me by a Vancouver friend. Growing up in New York I had many toys/toy brands from Europe and in raising my son I've been looking for a lot of the toys I remember from my childhood. I found my beloved Moulin Roty toys here to give to my son. The selection here is an awesome combine of whimsical aesthetic while simultaneously avoiding much of the plastic that has come to be a part of childhood. They also shipped easily back to the Bay Area.

This is my first time purchase thru their online store. I purchased lego 71774 at $199.99 plus tax…read more I found the box was seriously wear and tear. I was very disappointed. However, the shop owner reached me out immediately after she noted my post. I appreciate she brought another set to my home for exchanging mine in person. This one looks better. Even I had not good shopping experience initially, now I do appreciate for her professional, prompt and thoughtful services after she noted my disappointment. She is responsible owner and do care about customers.

If you are on Granville Island and have a bit of time to spare, come wander around this place…read more There are various children's stores inside with items ranging from clothing to toys to books. Also you will find handmade unique and slightly creepy art throughout the building. Bonus points for the store with all of the "magic" tricks and gags - the fake poo was surprisingly realistic looking. At the back of the building, there is a place to sit, feed ducks, and captain your own pirate ship. Ahoy mateys!

This quaint, compact little toy shop in Steveston, not far from the wharf, is positively crammed…read morewith toys, games, puzzles, books, stuffed animals, costumes, and a whole lot more, mostly for the younger crowd (newborn to pre-teen for the most part, I'd say). Many of these toys are geared towards fostering creativity, imagination, and interactivity, which is something we need more of, in our increasingly screen-addicted society. We purchased a baby dragon stuffed animal for our baby son, Sir Galahad, but hopefully he'll befriend him, instead of slaying him!

Splashes seems to focus more on quality toys with some component of discovery, problem-solving or learning. Some of the puzzles and building toys are quite pricy, however. They also seem to carry some stuffed animals and figurines from companies I've never heard of. During COVID, they are restricting how many people can enter the store at a given time. And, since the store is tiny, the lineup can be long. On our last visit, there were 5 families ahead of us, and we had to wait about 20-25 minutes! Worth a look, especially if you're looking for a unique toy for that special someone.

Selection was good - and pretty well stocked. Picked up a few things - can't really say if it was good value or not, as that depends on the buyer, personally I think prices were fair on the products I chose.
