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.

Hands down, this shop has the cutest designs for Lake Placid shirts. My son was so happy with the shirt we bought him here. He couldn't stop staring at his shirt as we walked down Main Street. He wanted to wear the shirt immediately. My daughter was a bit sad they didn't have her size. The staff was so friendly, and this store is very conscientious and does not allow more than 15 persons in their shop at once. Great place to shop! I highly recommend stopping by, even if just to look at the apparel. The have apparel for adults to babies.
