Livingstone and Cavell was my go-to place for special toys but since that closed I was interested…read morein the reputation of Castle Toys. We found everything we needed. Some wooden puzzles, inclusive dolls, fun craft projects, a fidget device that could be taken to school and some animal toys. The variety is colourfully overwhelming and I almost got dizzy from turning in circles to take everything in. I'd be terrified to take kids here as I wanted one of everything and I haven't been a kid in decades! I will absolutely be back.

Although not advertised as such this IS an Adult Toy Store where children are obviously not…read morewelcome. The Castle is reigned over by a King with an overwhelming distain for children. My Wife and I took our extremely well behaved 3 year old grandson there on his birthday to pick out a toy and as children do he left three items on the floor where he had been looking at them and before I had a chance to pick them up the Ogre of the store aggressively told us to contain our child as he was not going to allow him to "ransack" his store. I asked him what his problem was as our Grandson was not running unattended nor ransacking to which he said THEY are not allowed to touch things because it leaves marks and then other people will not buy them. He continued babbling on in a very condescending manner at which point we advised him that the items we had already selected we no longer wanted and we left. My Wife told me later the Toy Nazi treated her the same way a few years ago when she shopped there with our other Grandson We went on to have a very positive experience at the Discovery Hut in Chinook Mall where the staff had no issue picking up things stating "it's part of our job, they are kids and this IS a Toy Store afer all" They also appreciated the $200 we spent that I am so thankful we didn't give to Hastle Toys!

Kokeshi dolls, kimonos, gorgeous pottery, and kawaii kitsch! Lovely, helpful staff. Picked up many small gifts for family. My only disappointment is that many items I'd like for my kitchen are in store pick up only. They helpfully suggested I could pack and ship to myself but I just didn't have time on this trip, maybe next time! Fun little shop, well worth your time to stop in.

Unfortunately I had to purchase $110.00 worth of Lego, to get the little dragon free. My grandkids have a lot of Lego that they put together that they have on display around their room.

A number of items you see from popular brands like Knock Knock- sarcastic socks, notes with attitude, but also lots of stuff that looks locally inspired and / or local made. Home items, wedding, birthday, Calgary and Canada, jewelry, fun mugs. Books, the list goes on and on. Can't imagine what doing inventory here is like, but they have a really appealing and well rounded shop. Loved it!

I took a long walk around Calgary yesterday. It was a beautiful warm and sunny day and I wasn't…read moreabout to miss it. Interesting people were out, cute dogs were being walked by their owners, and everyone seemed to be in a good mood. Part of my stroll was down the "hip" Uptown area of 17th Avenue. What drew me into Steeling Home from my walk was an on sale desk fan that was displayed outside on a cute antique table. The price was right, but I knew darn well that it would be hard to get it in the suitcase for my eventual trip back to the San Francisco Bay Area. I might still change my mind on that.... Anyway, I decided to stroll around inside and really enjoyed exploring the many pockets of interesting stuff this relatively small store holds. It has books, antiques, jewelery, and much more in-between. The people watching was fun too, with a fresh touch of Portlandia thrown in. I'm glad I stopped in and reminded myself that marching around a new City is fun, and stopping to explore some of its quirks is even better.

Excellent picture frames and great place to pick up seasonal items from Easter, Halloween to Christmas. Staff is very friendly and the iOS app is great.

She was helpful, efficient, kind and even offered me a discount on my purchases because they didn't have the quantity that I needed.
