The youngest member of our local host family has declared it her favorite toy store in Ann Arbor. Grandparents beware, have a settled upon spending limit before entering. In the past I have purchased baby gifts for others and treats for a toddler. Today the perfect selection was found after a great deal of deliberation and calculations. The store is well stocked with stuffed animals so a baby goat was selected since we had just visited some earlier at White Lotus Farm. And a great beginner reader was also chosen. Our hosts needed some baby gifts for friends, and those they chose, looked great! Selections are beautifully displayed, the staff is friendly and helpful. Quality of everything we saw was excellent.

We stopped in here on a whim when we were gift shopping. Our first thoughts after walking in were…read morewow, what an awesome place to shop for toys! If you have kids on your list, whether it's for birthdays or Christmas, this is a one stop store. The selection of toys you'll find here is not the same as other places that carry the 'same ol toys' and this is what makes this toy store unique! What I liked was, we weren't hounded by anybody or followed around the store. We leisurely looked around the entire store and had to decide from everything that we considered a possibility. I did do a couple of price comparisons, and actually this place was less expensive on a couple of those items than what Amazon had them selling for. Whether you're shopping with your kids or you're just a kid at heart, this is a nice toy store with many possibilities of finding that special gift for that special someone! You'll be pleasantly surprised like we were at the vast selection of toys, puzzles, games, Legos, STEM toys, stuffed animals and more for all ages!

They offer some great deals on Playmobil and other collections. Stop in to walk the store and take in the nostalgia.

I've come here a few times to get a gift or two for either one of my cousins or a friends kid…read more They have plenty of toys and items to choose from like board games, plushies, puzzles, small sports sets and many more. They're even many educational flash cards and books for children. I was even able to pick up an adult coloring book for myself. Regardless of whatever you buy they'll wrap your purchased items which is great because I can't wrap a gift to save my life. The service is very friendly and the overall atmosphere is nice. It's great to still see some toy stores around, especially since nowadays you can simply buy toys online on Amazon or other retailers. However If you're looking for some fun toys or gifts for any kids I think it's worth stopping by.

The reason I support local stores is because it's the right thing to do. After today though, I see…read morewhy most people support bigger stores. I got to the mall for a release of a sought after item at 9:00 a.m. store was to open at 10:00 a.m. this store has two doors. What this store also has is no education handling crowd central. They allowed people in the twenties to wait inside (most logical) and then we found out there was an even longer line outside. When we tried to tell the store this a woman who is usually mean on a good day scoffed at us and only yelled though the door that she would be opening both doors at once (a safety issue) this woman is a middle aged woman with her hair up and I think it was green. She has never been kind. Today was worse. She made it her goal to let the other people in first even though we did the right thing by standing outside the store in the mall. There was a two limit per person (a joke) as people in line were calling the other outside line as families were manning both lines with multiple people per family to buy two per everyone in their party. So most families passed the "system" and worked both lines. What's the worst part of all of this? The owner Jenna was there during all of this. It could have been civilized. It could have been organized. A number per person. Staff calming people down. Not having three and under children working when you have two lines to get through. I can't recommend this store any longer. Nothing about today showed that they cared about fairness. And for the horrible employee with the green bun, you work in a toy store have some compassion towards others. You are always angry and awful to approach and you are the last reason this store lost a customer today. You are simply cruel in an unusual way.

We spent a good 45 mins. looking at everything. I wished I had someone to buy unique toys for as they have some really neat finds for little kids and grown-ups alike. My daughter bought two funny temporary tattoos. I tried on facsinators for which I so very much I had an occasion to wear. The proprietor mentioned a local tea party in September and how I wish I was able to attend. There's also kitschy finds from character nail files to vintage jewelry, whimsical housewares and of course vintage-looking new clothes. Its an eye-pleasing delight!

I wish that I was closer for this myself because I've seen some excellent stuff there and been unable to claim it. The selection is always fresh and nearly all of it is major brand name. You can get a toddler Polo shirt for $6-8. We got a pair of toddler New Balance shoes one time for $8. They also do an excellent job of catering to their clientele. The changing area in the restroom is like being at home. If you're just going to Walmart and need a change, stop in for the facilities and take a look. Odds are, you can turn $10 into a couple of new things for your little one to wear.
