There were many photo opportunities and lots of demonstrations as well. The sales people worked for the store and there was no pressure at all. We were there a little under an hour and discovered many new items. Our kids really enjoyed the lego and Wicked themed areas. There is also a cotton candy machine where you can watch it being made through the glass, all automated. We somehow left without purchasing anything due to our inability to take it back home.

On the lower level, there were some cool vintage items and books - so that immediately piqued our interest and we continued to explore. When we walked into the main landing on the second floor, we weren't expecting a variety of old timey trinkets and 3D type artwork. Everything was super unique and cool, and it was hard not to want to pick things up to get a closer look. If you're looking for a unique gift or souvenir, I highly recommend checking this spot out. I can see these things being a big hit around the holidays, and for the quality of the product, I didn't think it was overly expensive. The shop is on the smaller side and if there are a lot of people, it can feel a little cramped. Just be patient and give yourself enough time to really explore!

I can usually always find a present in here to suit most people so it is a good place to check out during Christmas time. When I was there, they had a range of outdoor games on sale so I bought bats and balls and a Frisbee all for under a tenner. Toys R Us really brings back the child in you and is fun to just look around and try things like the guitar game on xbox. Good fun.

One expects a bit more when everything in the store is a good 40-50 percent marked up…read more I was after a new baby gift, and thankfully Igloo has this covered. I picked out a few pieces of clothing (Petit Bateau) and a book. Everything was sort of tossed in the bag without any regard for it (it's expensive stuff, too!) -- no gift wrapping offered, not even bags anywhere to be bought. Seems like an oversight. There is a shoe section in the back that was absolutely rammed with kids and parents. NO THANK YOU. I ordered online at Amazon after waiting forever to be helped and no one coming. They have a lot of toys, again -- all overpriced, but sometimes that's what you get for the convenience of shopping locally. I'm happy to support small local stores and pay the upcharge but do expect the experience to match. I tried to purchase a ball my son had taken a shine too but after 10 minutes of her trying to ring it up I just said "forget it" and she let me. Weird. This felt rushed and hurried and not overly friendly. It's a kids store, c'mon people!

However, the second rule is invariably you WILL buy something. Something that made you shout out with laughter, or something you want to give to someone else. The stuff is cheap enough, value for the entertainment it brings. A few examples of brilliance - a little penguin slide thing that runs in an endless loop of having two penguins slide in spirals down a slide and get escalator-ed back up to the top ad infinitum. A set of sweets titled 'Jelly Boobs' and 'Jelly Willies' (picture included, I am not making this up). You can take little remote controls and move a little mouse or a little tarantula... all in the name of good fun, nothing to scare the crap out of close female family or anything! Ahem. The shop is extremely popular but unlike the other nearby shop for odd items, Wonders, there is alot more concession given to the allowed movement of the shopper. Be amazed as you pass someone in the aisle without shoving shopping bags into their groin! Marvel at the clear gap that exists between you and that same person. Amazing. An awesome place, go there before Christmas really kicks off if you're a bit lost for gift ideas.
