Not sure what I expected, considering I've been here before, but my kids were in sensory overload…read moreof the best kind when we visited McWhiggin's Wonder Emporium today. "Look with your eyes, not your fingers" fell on deaf ears, but the joy on their faces made me relent on my instructions for my kids. They loved going from section to section, playing with the trains, picking up stuffed animals and making faces in the funhouse mirrors throughout. Like mentioned in my previous review, McWhiggin's has a bit of every toy you would like to find, with some circus-themed signage, oversized stuffed animals and other fun sprinkled throughout. Now, be warned that the prices are a bit on the higher end. The small dragon stuffie my daughter picked out was $10. But this is a locally-owned shop -- well worth the extra expense. This is a must-visit especially if you have kids and are in Madison.

Wonderful selection, lots of unusual toys and novelties and memorabilia…read more Well laid out and friendly staff, worth a visit for sure

Sadly, these guys are about an hour and a half from our home, so we don't make it in regularly…read more They are located in a strip mall with very, very limited parking and it's a tight fit if you have a larger vehicle. But the store itself is spacious with good sized aisles and tall shelves. This is a great toy store! They have so many great items, ranging from Star Wars figures, Transformers, NECA, POP figures, G.I. Joe, wrestling figures, and then also high end stuff that you can usually only find online like Sideshow 12 inch figures, Vitruvian Hacks and even Haslab items. We never leave there emptyhanded. The staff are always helpful and friendly too. If they weren't so far away we would frequent them a few times a month!!

I found just that at the locally-owned Playthings Toy Shoppe in the Westport Village! Oh how I love to support locally-owned businesses! I was pleased to browse the aisles and find that they were chock full of unusual, traditional, and more educational toys than I had found in the toy sections of the big box stores where brands like Barbie, Transformers, Paw Patrol and Stars Wars make up the bulk of the offerings. The toys were thoughtfully arranged, as if by age, and employees are ready to help with your selection if need be. Prices were in line with those of online specialty toy stores that sell these types of toys. Free gift wrapping is offered, which is a huge relief for those of us who do not enjoy gift wrapping! I highly recommend visiting Playthings if you are toy shopping. Parking is plentiful at the Westport Village of shops.

And like my other experience, I found this Playthings to be a great locally-owned toy shop. The prices were fair, and it excels at having educational toys and brands you might not find at the big box stores, which I very much appreciated. My son is into dinosaurs for the moment, so I went on Playthings' website and found a great set of dino figures. I was able to buy it online for local pick-up, and the icing on the cake -- I got it wrapped for free. Free wrapping is a service Playthings provides. I also want to commend Playthings on their great customer service. I ordered this right as the ice storm was starting, and they called me to see if I wanted to still pick up that day. The employee I talked to was concerned I would come out when they had closed early. I picked up the toy a couple of days later. Especially if you have kiddos to buy for, don't overlook Playthings.
