This is the absolute best store ever. Full Stop. It's a lovely old house right on Grand Ave so the parking might be tricky and the main door is a half flight of stairs. They don't always have the exact JellyCat or blind box my kids are hoping for, but they always have dozens of things I want to buy for everyone in my life, not just kids! We go here to get our Smiski fix. And right now they are showing their good hearts and their strong belief in human rights, so that's super cool too. Thanks Mischief! Great assortment of stickers and pins and lawn signs. read more

Adorable local toy store! Staff were super helpful, and while the shop is a bit crowded they have a good variety of toys and games.

Poor service and very pricey for a toy store. Was disappointed, won't be back again.

I am a former Minnesotan, currently in California but when we visit family in St.Paul, Mischief is always a visit we make sure to make! Staff are amazing, toys for all ages and socially conscious! Support this and all small businesses read more

True patriotic citizens, wonderful small business. Highly recommended. Great selection and they support their community. We need more business owners like this read more

Amazing business! Abundant options for toys! Owners are great and kind people. I will be shopping here for christmas.

Needed an early Xmas present for my nibling & wanted to support a local small business so stopped by here. What I love is the unique gifts & outstanding customer service. It is sooo helpful to be able to say, "My nephew is 5 years old & likes to build things & likes music" and then I'm magically brought before items that he'd like. The worker genuinely seemed to care & wasn't pushy at all. I also enjoy that this store is in a house. It seems small when you first walk in but keep exploring since there's many rooms. They got all kinds of things from board games, to science games, to outdoor games, musical instruments, magic, books, & some great socks that say "sisters are the sh*t" (had to get those)! Huge bonus is that they wrap things for free, sweeeet! Mischief is the last toy store in Saint Paul so make sure to go support them & be labeled the best auntie ever come the holidays. read more

This place is a hidden gem! I took my granddaughters here in December and they loved it! They have a whole room for gaming, and my granddaughter Everleigh absolutely loved the stuffy section. The employees were so kind and welcoming. We will definitely be back! My granddaughter loved that the store is a converted house - so cool! read more

My kids loves this store so much! Always a special treat for them to get to come here. The best vibes, and unique and interesting toys. A great break from Amazon and target! read more

Worst toy store ever. Poor quality toys. The staff is incredibly rude. Do not shop here.

LOVE THIS TOY STORE!!! As a Mama who has done a lot of research on quality toys/books and is very picky about curating a good collection for my kiddo - this place has it all! They have very high quality toys, books, games and gifts (cute cards and stickers too) - I cannot rave about this place enough! The board games they have are great for all ages (even grownups). Plus all of the prices are comparable to those online - I'd much rather support a small business in our community than give more money to Amazon. Highly recommend when looking for your next gift! The employees are always super friendly too! read more

So thankful to have this store in our community! Makes shopping for birthday parties and holidays a breeze -- you always know there will be something fun and appreciated.

I went to the store over Christmas period. I kept getting emails about the mystery loot box. They showed an example of one of each they were offering. Apparently the junior box is 12 and younger. I went in with the intentions to buy the box and use a few items to give as a gift to one of my 13 year old autistic client. The photos of the boxes they were showing I saw several things that would be fitting. When I entered the store and was looking at boxes the retail associate said junior was 12 and under and the other was 12+ so I automatically went with clients age box. Although I wish I would have stepped back and got the other aged box because his cognitive level is not the same as his age. After opening the box inside I found a logic puzzle book, coffee mug, few pieces of old candy, book marker, two stickers, a game board/card -valued on amazon for $11, a naked baby figurine, two stone erasers, two tiny pins, a small 48 piece puzzle and a pencil. Not sure how all these small items added up to $65 which the box was suppose to be valued at and not sure if the mug or game was the higher priced item. I called to see if I could exchange or return and they said if it was open NO. I feel some exceptions should be made. read more

I love this store now. There is specialty candy and snacks, unique toys, and games for people of all ages. Spent about $60 on an armful of high quality fidget toys. Just hit the cafe down the block on the corner for a sweet treat, and you have a perfect parent and kid date! read more

Popped in for the first time this week to pick up presents for my 3 yr old niece and will definitely be back. Many thanks to the awesome staff who gave great recs and even wrapped the gifts in this beautiful fun cosmic galaxy paper. I'm a bit of a clueless Auntie when it comes to toy trends and brands but luckily their curation made it easy to locate diverse and ethically made toys as well as a good selection of sensory play items as well. My niece is thrilled and my brother and sister-in-law are still talking to me so win-win. read more

I just want to thank Mischief Toy Store for their masking policy. As someone who opposes Vaccine mandates, I welcome masking mandates as a safe and effective alternative. We spend a lot of time with the grandparents and do what we can to protect them. Also it's been stressful being immunocompromised by pregnancy during a pandemic. It's nice that Mischief is creating a safe, fun, and loving community environment for families. I will be doing lots of Christmas and Chanukah and birthday shopping here this season! read more

Mischief Toy Store - Toy Stores Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

I haven't had time to write a review because my kids and I have been spending all of our time AT this toy store! We have had so much fun browsing ( and buying) the unique inventory at Mischief. From books, candy, games, lava lamps, outdoor toys...this store covers all the bases for kids. The staff is friendly and helpful. When my son discovered he bought the wrong type of yo-yo, Mischief staff let him exchange it even though the package was ripped open. My husband and I sighed with relief at having side stepped a melt down thanks to these nice people. We are so glad to have this business in our neighborhood. read more

Amazing store! I was there for the first time today with my wife. They have toys for adults and kids. We walked out with a toy and a huge list of things we are going to buy people for the holidays. This is the place to go for a fun toy for yourself or someone special. They have a little something for everyone. From Magic the gathering cards to books to magic tricks and zip lines. You need to stop in and check it out to see how cool this store is! read more

This place is charming and cute. Friendly staff, and all inclusive bathroom and a variety of many things: Nostalgic candy Stuffed animals Whimsical books Sidewalk Chalk, art supplies Musical instruments Those hammock thingies that I see everyone and their brother swinging in at the parks. So much more.. Games upstairs We found a musical instrument. A slide whistle- how cool. This wasn't as loud as the jingle bells. Worth a visit. read more

Thank you mischief toys! Made it so easy to shop and felt very safe(during this time)loved every suggestion and will definitely be back and tell my friends!!love to shop local! Thanks Abby for your help. read more

Mischief is your antidote to the creeping dread caused by big department stores knocking out local businesses left and right. It's everything you need a locally owned toy store to be. Quirky and whimsical, filled from floor to ceiling with unique toys, most of which you won't find at Target. With staff members who are friendly, knowledgeable, and genuine. It will always be our go-to spot for fun gifts. It's a true gem. read more

This store is amazing!!! I was in town on business and noticed the brightly colored MISCHIEF sign outside. Of course, I had to go in, and I was glad I did. From the moment you walk up the steps it is clear that EVERYONE is welcome here - young, old, gay, straight, immigrant, local - everyone is a friend here. The staff were very friendly and the selection of gifts and toys is great!! They had a large stock of Blue Q socks (which are super fun) and also Blue Q bags! (I got a couple of each!) Good candy selection and they have all kinds of funky toys. Oh, and I picked up some UNICORN SNOT for my niece, cuz, ummm, who doesn't need some glittery unicorn snot?? Check this place out. read more

Visited for the first time last week in an effort to shop local this year. The staff there was very friendly and helpful. Great local business to support. read more

Love this place and Tom's review made me more aware why I love this store. If it keeps people like Tom away because acceptance is uncomfortable for him, all the more reason to love it and only his loss. Aside from a great political agenda the people working there are always friendly and engaged with their customers-Excellent customer service and great toys! read more

We LOVE this store. It's unique. Everyone in my family can find something special and not break their pocket book. The PERFECT place to go for that person who has everything. :) read more

Stopped in on a recent trip and were sad we didn't have the kids with us at the time. They would have had a blast! Staff were friendly and helpful and we managed to find something cool for each of the 5 kiddos. We'll definitely be stopping by again on our road trip this summer, WITH all of the kids! read more

Great store and seemingly great owner. Love the support of Black Lives Matter and the all inclusive restroom!

Great toys and cool stuff for adults too. Lots of books puzzles and art supply's. It's a must try

New favorite place on Grand! The place itself is just really happy and fun to be in. There's a huge variety of games and toys as well as other things like graphic novels, weird candy, t-shirts, pins, and art supplies. I'm 18 and I loved it -- super fun for any age! read more

I'm a big fan of Mischief! They've got so many great and unique toys appealing to a very wide range of ages. I typically go to purchase gifts for others but always end up getting something for myself too! I LOVE the quantity of battery free toys! The staff is incredibly helpful! It is very apparent to me that they truly value and support their greater community which makes me all the more motivated to shop there. read more

We buy all of our nephews and nieces toys at this store and they are a huge hit every time. I love this store and its community values!

When I heard that the people behind Peapods were opening a new toy store aimed at big kids, I got excited. I'd been a customer of theirs when my kids were little and I knew they were likely to stock merchandise that my kids and I would enjoy. Mischief does not disappoint. They have a fun selection of toys, books for all ages, art supplies, snacks, t-shirts, wooden swords, musical instruments, and on and on. They are staffed by people who are friendly and don't shadow kids around with the assumption they're going to steal or break something. It's really awesome to have you guys back in business! read more
