I have been a toy manufacturer and retailer since the 1970s (retired now), and an expert in play…read morebehavior and psychology and toy safety. As far as I know, Turnertoys is the only truly full line toy store in Vermont. They have a full range of selections from the mass-market popular toys (Legos, Playmobil, Thomas trains) to the latest ingenious specialty toys, brainteasers, and board games. They even have a fairly full line of old-fashion hobby supply, including model kits (including the original Guillow balsa airplane models), balsa wood, tools, glue, CO2 rockets, too much to mention. The store is large enough to allow a neat, orderly layout, so it is easy to see what they have. It really helps that Peter, the owner, and his staff are experts on everything they sell, and can answer questions intelligently. There is even room for a large activities room, where the store hosts play events for kids every week. The kids can try new toys, improve their art skills, and just have group fun. It reminds me of a miniature FAO Schwarz, staffed by the owner and his friends and family. Definitely worth a trip to Essex.

I was a little late ordering a birthday present for my nephew (bad auntie!) and didn't have time to…read morepurchase, wrap, and mail a present to him in Vermont from where I live. I ordered online from Turner Toys and added a note asking if they might be able to giftwrap the toys, not even knowing if they offered giftwrapping on shipping orders. Not only did they wrap the gifts, but they did such a beautiful job and even sent me a photo! Thank you so much, Turner Toys! I'll definitely be back for future gifts :)

This place is such a wonderful addition to the Middlebury community. They bring a nostalgic charm…read moreto this cold and old town, with kids and families coming in to play a new board game, and more serious mass game players competing with the utmost enthusiasm. You can check out the games for a measly $5, much like one would check out DVDs (RIP Blockbuster) or library books even. Or even better: you can play the games all located in the back shelf for free - right in the vicinity - which can be great if you got some free time on your hands on a lazy Sunday. Right after having brunch at the Diner, we stopped by here and played several rounds of Exploding Kittens. Highly recommend that game. Many other games also to try out. The owner was so friendly; when we walked in, he asked us if it was our first time and immediately showed us the free games in the back to play. My only complaint is that there is a faint smell that I can only know too well: boy smell. It's not the most pleasant smell, but I suppose it could also be worse. I feel like the business could use an air freshener. Maybe I'm just fussy. Nevertheless, this is still a good spot to have fun!

Tinker and Smithy is a friendly local game store and hall. As much, if not more, a community space…read morethan a business. They host card and miniature tournament and, provide space and paraphernalia for RPG groups. They also have a large selection of fee to play, and nearly feee to rent, board games, new, classic, niche, and cult. If you are looking for a game for yourself or a gift, if your looking to hang out weird fellow gaming nerds, if your looking for a place to beat the heat or stay out of the cold and find a new favorite game, swing on by to T&S.
