Actual. Toy. Heaven!!…read more I'm a big kid at heart, and one of my favourite things about being a parent is getting to play with toys again yaaay!! Leeds City Centre is desperately lacking toy shops, so when it came to buying Xmas presents for the Mini MacDoos and their friends time around I found myself with little choice other than jumping on the bus and heading down to Birstall retail park to have a mooch round Toys R Us. When I got there and walked in I was completely overwhelmed. I had no idea where to start! I was very glad I hadn't taken the kids with me as I think they might have quite literally exploded with excitement. Which would have made a terrible mess. Aisle after aisle of the stuff of every kids wildest dreams. Action toys. Role playing toys. Educational toys. Cuddlies. Cars. Electronics. You name it, they've got it. There are sections for all the different characters of the moment, I almost peed mutants with excitement when I saw the Hello Kitty section!! Only downsides for me really are that it's not the cheapest place in the world for toys, but if you're not quite sure what you're after it's worth going there to get some inspiration. If you've got a smartphone it's easy enough to check online to see if you can get an item significantly cheaper elsewhere, and the experience of shopping there is so fab that for me it's worth paying an extra pound or so for an item. The other thing, obviously, is that it's not in the city centre, and if you don't drive, then Birstall retail park isn't the easiest or cheapest place to get to (however you can always compensate yourself for the inconvenience by heading over to the Krispy Kreme shop for a treat while you're there!) So all in all it gets a thumbs up from me. If you're young at heart, get yourself there and pretend you're Tom Hanks in Big!!

I found myself queing outside this store on a cold December morning trying to get hold of the number 1 toy for Christmas 2009. I rang the night before and was told they were expecting a delivery the following day. When I arrived there was a small queue outside once the doors opened it was well organised and there was no pushing or shoving staff handed you the items you asked for. I was really pleased. This store has so many types of toys it is amazing I bet kids would be happy to spend the whole day there if you would let them.

I am always a fan of traditional toy shops and this one did not disappoint! For such a small shop…read moreit has a huge selection of branded children's toys - Perfect for Birthdays & Christmas! I really enjoyed having a look around this wonderful shop and I did buy a couple of Christmas Presents. It is expensive compared to some other shops (and especially online prices) but surely it is worth that little bit extra in price to have the experience of going to the shop and choosing the toy playing with it first and getting excited!?!?! This shop also has some bits and bobs upstairs for hobbyists and enthusiasts who like to paint models or create train sets. They have a modest size selection of Hornby trains and Air fix models (mostly planes) - I couldn't resist buying an A10 for my father in law! (yes I'm a geek too!) One thing I will mention about this shop which is why it doesn't have a 5 star rating is that it is no good for people with prams or wheelchairs as half of the shop is upstairs. Other than that I just wish it was bigger :)
