    Ironically, even with having 2 young grandchildren, I don't usually have the occasion to enter a…read moretoy store. I typically make online purchases, but with ONCE UPON A TIME TOYS, how could I avoid it? I love the store name, and it was right there in front of me in quaint, charming Stowe, VT, so I went in. There were a great many unique toys, games and children's gift ideas at this store, but it was overwhelming to me. The sales associate was very friendly, so I asked her what she'd recommend for a 1 year old girl and something "Spiderman" for my 4 year old grandson. She immediately presented me with a cloth doll, and a little boat with Spiderman in it that when wound up in water (like in a bathtub), it would zoom across the water. I took them both !! My granddaughter was interested for a few minutes and moved on to something else because she's only 1. I'm quite certain the little doll will have greater appeal to her as she gets older. My grandson was soooooooo taken with his Spiderman boat that he broke it before getting to test it out in the actual water. He's 4, and listening to directions is not part of his skill set yet, lol. Regardless, if we're ever back up in Stowe, VT, I'm sure we'd return to this store to see what else we could find for my grandchildren !! Great little store with lots of unique toys for kids !!

    The owners were so sweet and engaging my children loved talking and playing with her as she showed…read morethem some of the options. They have a wonderful selection of different toys!

    Alright, so I'll be the first to admit I'm a big proponent of hand me down clothing with little…read morechildren so maybe I had no business being here to begin with Occasionally, I'm a sucker for a hard to find piece or accessory (fun hats, etc) so curiosity drew me in ?along with their fun signage). If you appreciate (and are willing to spend $$) fun, retro, etc. kids fashion, then this spot is for you. We found several fun pieces with prints ranging from gold and tennis to artsy farm animals. Many of the clothing items were priced in the $50-$100+ ballpark. Ultimately, the clearance section in the back and toys selection were of most interest as we perused for a gift for our niece. They offer serval thoughtful items that would make good gifts- Lego design sets, piggy banks, etc. The shop is well organized and clean.

    My package (1-pair of overpriced leggings) was lost by USPS in late November of 2025. I gave it the…read moreallotted amount of time to see if the parcel would turn up on either end while working with the post office to try and track it down. After some time I decided to reach out to the manager Marie Kelly who was unwilling to even offer me a partial refund or reshipment. I've been in sales for over 30 years, and I would never treat a customer this way, for any reason ever. I follow a strict policy of treat you customers the same way you'd want to be treated; especially if it means only losing the retail mark-up cost of an item. But, I guess they don't hold ethics in very high esteem. Apparently, the customer isn't always right with yellow-turtle. Order online with this merchant at your own risk.

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 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 :)
