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.

They have a great amount of stock, never had a problem with them holding things back for me until i can pick it up if its large. They have been helpful on the phone and with returns. The only slight thing i dont like about them is that you have to sometimes leave all your bags at the front desk, i can see why but it can be a bit of a faff as sometimes the desk is unmanned for long periods of time. I use this shop for a lot of items, from potty to toys and only come across one faulty item which was soon swapped when i took it back into store.

Toys r us is a huge toy shop in st marks square which provides everything you could possibly want…read moretoy wise under one rough. They have a large selection of toys suitable from birth to teenagers and include all the well known brands. They also have a large entertainment section selling computers, game consoles and music accessories. Or perhaps the large selection of bikes, ride on toys and outdoor equipment is more appealing. Also part of the store is babies r us, which sells everything an empectant mother could want from cots to prams and nursing equipment, highchairs, walkers tec. The staff are all really helpful and friendly and they constantly have fantastic offers on. the best for toy deals and the best for well priced baby equipment in my opinion.

Quite a small disney store compared to most but still stocks the more popular items. It's a shame…read morethat they do not offer click and collect, so you can order online and pick up instore, as this would make up for the lack of stock compared to the more bigger stores. Disney is always great for finding kids birthday/christmas presents, so even though they lack the ranges, I'm sure most people will find something to buy in here. The store can get a bit cramped at busy times but during the week it tends to be much quieter. There are always staff available to answer your question, should you have any, and they are very polite. Check out was quick and painless, accepting all the major credit cards. They do charge for carriers however or you can buy a reusable one for £2 (aren't all carriers reusable?!)
