O.P. Taylor's is the kind of Old School Toy Store people always talk about, but rarely get to experience in Today's Digital Era. Located on the corner of Main & Broad Street, you'll be delighted that there is plenty of street parking available nearby, even on the busiest of days. As soon as you walk in, you'll be delighted to see some of the highest quality toys available to youth today. Brands like Lego, Duplo, Playmobil, Tonies, Mattel, Hasbro, and dozens more adorn the shelves. What makes this probably the coolest toy store ever is the historic building that surrounds it. Wide plank wooden floors tell a story of different time, and a red carpeted staircase leads customers to another half dozen rooms filled with the most imaginative toys! Whether you've got little ones yourself or are just looking for a gift for any occasion, it's a fun stop that you'll likely remember for a long time to come! Enjoy! read more

This is the most wonderful Toy Store. I took my youngins here and they adored it, I walked out spending $100 but it was worth it for the looks. They have a wonderful selection of toys and everyone is so friendly. The man with the pinwheel hat, who I assume owns the store is wonderful! I also went to the Hendersonville Store and the young girl, Olivia was a wonderful help with Legos and there was another short haired girl with a shark sweatshirt who wrapped it beautifully. This was amazing. read more

We had such a wonder-filled time exploring this toy shop on Main Street in Brevard. We were visiting the area over Christmas and stumbled across this fabulous shop. The windows were all decked out for the holidays. People would slow their roll and look at the magical displays. The staff/elves were so friendly and fun! The selection of merchandise is quite impressive! We felt like kids again as we wandered throughout looking at the latest and greatest toys on the market. Be sure to pay a visit when you're in Brevard! read more

Really nice people who are ready to help and have a lot of things to choose from lego puzzles etc love the place will come again

Excellent selection of toys. Old style and new. They have a huge selection of Lego and minifigures. Also lots of models and board games. I enjoyed their offerings. read more

This is the best toy store in the United States. I have been shopping here for over 20 years. The owner knows more about toys than anyone I have ever met. When my friends visit me in Brevard and I take them here once, they insist on going back every time they are in town. They have an incredible array of toys that are all shapes and sizes. They also gift wrap for free. Definitely a stop you should make if you are ever in Brevard, N.C. read more

It doesn't matter if you have children or not, OP Taylor's is always going to be a magical place! We used to bring our children when they were younger and we had had lunch just up the street at Rocky's. These days those children are mostly grown, so it is usually just my husband and I! But on this particular trip we decided to step in and experience the wonder that is OP Taylor's! They have it all... from classic board games to the latest arts and crafts, you'll find it here! Be sure to take your time and explore all of the rooms... you never know what you may find. Regardless, worth the stop and the time... OP Taylor's does a great job reminding EVERYONE to stop and play sometimes! read more

What an excellent independent toy store with a HUGE selection of toys, models & games for all ages. We were amazed at how much variety they have packed in to the various rooms. The store is well organized by themes so if you are looking for something in particular, just ask an employee for assistance. Their displays are fantastic, too, and we easily spent an hour just wandering around looking at everything. Their prices seemed reasonable in comparison to toys you would find elsewhere plus they have a sale/discount room as well. read more

This is by far the best Toy Store I have ever been to. They have it all. My Bride and I did all of our Christmas shopping here this past year. They have a very broad selection of both play and educational items and they wrap for free. read more

Great place with a great selection. They have great employees and are always kind. Such a good small town business with great people, overall 5 stars read more

I love shopping local, even if the prices are a little more expensive. Helping out the community is better than helping out the corporate world. However, I walked into O.P. Taylor's with my super excited 5-year-old daughter, and the cashier wouldn't even look up at us. No greeting, no "hello", not even a head nod. Another woman was putting up stock, again, nothing. Walked upstairs, another worker putting stuff up and couldn't even acknowledge my daughter's presence. Higher prices, terrible customer service, all make for a lousy experience. At least they had a huge selection of toys. Too bad we're on our way to Target now. read more

So here is deal , if you are looking for any toy in the world its here! They have it all! From Thomas to Lego's, to Webkinz ! The store is jammed packed with 1000s of toys and novelties from the past , present and future! Parking is hard to find sometimes but all and all its worth it! Every time we are in Brevard we go there with my 2 boys and they can spend hours in this hands on store! I like it because it reminds me of when i was a boy and it was Morris Pharmacy! I remember Mr Morris and his drugstore very well and I am sure he be happy to no know his old store makes so many kids happy!! If you go to Brevard you have to go to O.P Taylors! Here is there website! www.optaylors.com IT'S AMAZING! O.P.Taylor's original store is located in the beautiful Blue Ridge mountians of North Carolina in the thriving little town of Brevard. read more

Amazing selection, super nice and helpful people. I felt like a kid again!!! I'll be back next time I'm in town. read more

Lots of wonderful cool things!! The staff is so kind and helpful. I collect stuffed animals, and they have a LITERAL ROOM for plushies it's amazing.. highly recommend, also the plushies on the stairs too read more

Such a fun toy store! My daughter and I explored for probably 2 hours at least! All ages and all sorts of fun and exciting toys to explore.

This place is AMAZING! What a cool, independent toy store in downtown Brevard. I make sure to stop in each summer when I'm up there and while I'm not there to buy many toys (which are plentiul, various, & all on easy display), I spend my money upstairs in the Science toy & kit area. Each year I have a Science Camp and we always use some of the fun stuff I get here all the time! It's nice to see LEGO products outside a major retailer! And this is the first place I've ever seen Duplo blocks with numbers & letters on them. Nice for my little nephew. read more

Best Toy Store in the World!!! We just loved it!!! We spent way over an hour in there today and got our Christmas Shopping done for the Grandchildren. AND... they wrapped it also. There was nothing in that store that I could think of that they didn't have. It's amazing! I couldn't get my husband to quit playing with the race car track. I'm thinking he might want one for Christmas. My granddaughter looked at everything. They could have hired her for a job by the time we left. She was helping the customers before we left. She got familiar with all the toys quick. I have no idea why we didn't know about this place sooner. It's amazing!!! We WILL COME BACK!!!! Staff was so friendly and nice. Actually the store had closed and we didn't even know. They were so kind to stay late. Thank you staff! read more

Much bigger inside than we thought and the two floors are packed with a wide variety of inventory. Sometimes a breadth of offerings for toys means a lot of cheap junk, but they had quality offerings. Our kids are grown, but we still had a blast exploring the store and getting a head start on birthday and Christmas shopping. read more

I love O.P. Taylor's. They've got some unique toys kids love. We always find something new. Or old school toys I had growing up that I can't find other places. Love it. My only complaint is some of their items are more expensive than I can find other places. Specifically Amazon. We are big Amazon shoppers and always check prices against what we can get online. If it's within a few bucks, we buy at the store to support local business. But, we've found some items marked WAY high up and passed on them But fun to frequent, play with the race car set, and see what new items they have! read more

Every time we are on vacation we have come to this toy store. We have always bought a new game or some toy. The positive: They have anything and everything you've ever wanted. And if they don't have it I'm sure they'd find it for you. The negative: I gave them 3 stars because I'm pretty sure you could find the toys cheaper online and because the girls behind the counter were less than friendly. I would think if you'd really want people to purchase in your store instead of buying online you would hire more friendly workers. This will probably be the last time I shop there and will not recommend this store to anyone. read more

I can't resist independent toy stores. This one beats them all. Unbelievable wide range of toys. A great range of prices. My son, my daughter and I spent an hour and half exploring and playing with race car setup. The best thing is there is something for everyone. If you don't want to spend a lot of money you can still come out with a bag of fun stuff for the little ones. read more

O.P. Taylor's - Brevard - O P Taylor - Toy Stores Near Me - Brevard, North Carolina

WOW!! A grandparent's delight .... we spent over an hour in the store. They have an amazing variety of toys and the prices were very reasonable. It was a fun, exciting place and we loved our visit. We got tons of gifts and surprises for the kiddos!! read more

My family has been a long time fan and customer of O.P. Taylor's Toy Store in Brevard which is the coolest toy store on the planet! They also have a store in Asheville and Greenville, SC. Today I called the store requesting help finding gift options for friends on the west coast who recently had a baby boy. I spoke with Kaden who went above and beyond to help me! After I told Kaden what I needed she immediately went to work finding great gift options and texted her ideas to me so I could review. Once we aligned on exactly which items I wanted to purchase Kaden wrapped each gift, completed a card with my message and signature (which she sent to me via text for approval before enclosing with the gift) and mailed the gift complimentary. I highly recommend this store and if you haven't been there before hope you find time to visit and support them! They are amazing and such nice people to do business with! read more

I remember going here as a child and being absolutely in awe. OP Taylor's is still the best toy store around. Great selection of Playmobil and a friendly and knowledgable staff. Also prices seem no more expensive than anywhere else so BUY LOCAL. read more

Well-curated toys of all types and for all ages. Grouped by type, familiar brands and unusual finds. Definitely worth a visit!

I'll call it a toy experience or and experience in being a kid. I make it a habit to buy from this place because stores like tis were a dying breed. Thanks for doing what you do. read more

I don't take toy stores lightly. I am pretty much a fiend. And this is the most amazing toy store I've had the pleasure of visiting. It just keeps going, room after room, and it's full of seriously cool toys that you can't find everywhere. The prices were good too...in some cases the prices were better than Amazon or other huge retailers. The staff was friendly and enthusiastic. read more

This really is a remarkable toy store, 6000 square feet. I'd say it's best for ages 3-11. Under 3 and the kid is overwhelmed (although they do have a nice room of baby toys). More than 11 and they will have fun ... but they probably won't buy anything. Even with the 6000 square feet, it feels like a cozy spot. Lots of small rooms, organized by type of toy, and two stories helps it feel as though it's in an old house. The selection is phenomenal. The board game room alone is delightful. And you gotta love a store that sells Archie McPhee along with Spongebob Mr. Potato Heads and the Snoopy Sno Cone makers. A great deal of fun. read more

O.P. Taylor's is located in a cool old building in the heart of Brevard. Inside is a smorgasbord of toys for kids of all ages, just about everything you can imagine from your childhood and cool new toys and models. The service is marvelous. It was always fun to see the LGB trains, although like everyone else their selection of LGBs had practically dried up by last fall because of LGB's problems. But O.P. Taylor's marches on, and with a handful of young kids in our extended family we will certainly be back. read more

The staff is incredible! I say this with the utmost sincerity. I live in Texas and my sister and her kids in North Carolina. I called, they helped me find the right gift for my nephew and in my price range. They wrapped it and had it ready for pickup. They communicated with me throughout the entire process. I even got a call when they were done wrapping so my sister knew she could come anytime. I've been here only once in person but was astonished then too. I wish I could give this establishment more than 5 stars if possible. I miss this kind of personal attention, the kind where you feel you're the only customer that matters to them, even over the phone all the way in Texas. read more

What a huge toy store! And a great selection. Now with my little Lily here, I have an excuse to buy toys :) but even without a little one to shop for its fun to look around and remember all the old toys you use to have. read more

A kool place to see toys that you might have played with when you were a kid. They have a huge selection of current toys as well, but mostly vintage re-makes. Definitely worth the time to stop in. read more

This place is ridiculously cool. They have all sorts awesome classic toys. They have new toys (legos, Harry potter scarfs and wands and robes) all kinds of stuffed animals. Just everything. The store is almost magical as each room leads to a new room you did not expect to find. This is a must visit if you are in brevard. read more

Cute old-fashioned toy store in downtown Brevard. Much larger than appears on the outside and huge selection including both new and older throw-back toys. Satisfying for kids of all ages. If you bring a child in, bring your $ - no way to get out of there without something coming with you! read more

A fun place to check out a bunch of stuff you ultimately won't buy. Downtown Brevard. Growing up there I remember a real town for the locals and not all the quaint tourist stops. But times change. Its alright. read more

This place is awesome! The prices are better than toys r us and the owner is super cool and friendly. Came here with my three kids and left with happy children! read more

I have been going here since I was 5 years old. It has always been a tradition with my grandparents to take my cousins and give us $20 to spend. I took my daughters and fiancée here and they had a blast. They have about every toy you could think of and more. It is a local shop so of course their prices are a little up but it's worth it! They have a separate room for Legos and model kits. My favorite is the upstairs area where they have a room for baby toys. My 4 month old loves her new plastic car key chain. The staff is awesome and are great with kids. Stop by and say hi to Mr. Taylor himself. We will continue our tradition and thank you O.P. Taylor's for helping us make new memories and cherishing the old ones. read more
