I needed to get five gifts and Jenna took me on a tour of the store and made quick and perfect recommendations! I was done so quickly. Just awesome!

Kind and helpful staff if you’re looking for a gift recommendation. I also like shopping here for my two kids. Small store, but packed with a great variety.

The store is designed in a very unique and cute way. Tiny hallways, beautiful lights, and toys in every place you look at.

The variety this place had was beyond me. There were legos, books, board games, mugs, tiny figures, and much more. The atmosphere is pretty nice and calming and the lady at the cashier spot was quite nice in our limited interaction since I didnt buy anything.

I was browsing all the toys and figures and I was thinking of buying something until I looked at the prices listed for the items. All the items were waayyy overpriced and it just didnt make sense to me to pay so much money for a small souvenir of some kind.

All in all, it was a fun experience just browsing the store and seeing all the unique and cute toys they had.

Great experience ordering online and picking up in store. And the place is clearly run with a lot of love ❤️

I just wanted to add this to try and offset the very few negative reviews on here because i know that this is a great store. I have grown up with this toy store, and it was always a joy whenever my mom would tell me I could go and get Pokémon cards or a new Lego set for example, the excitement was through the roof. To me when I was younger and even now, walking through that door feels like being transported to a magical land of every kids dreams. It is a wonderful place and the staff are very kind as well.
Best Regards,

A cozy toy store, packed with both popular and unique items (including candy!) Add a welcoming staff and you get a local shop worthy of support.

I was looking for rare Hot Wheels cars and was directed to a different brand. More larger and unique cars based from real life, I had to get them. Kids love 'em as well as I, a man-child that is very particular in my choices.

I wrote a Google review about another local toy shop in Toronto that I won't name here. Pleasantly surprised when I entered Playful Minds. Both shops are like night and day...

Playful Minds is the bright, sunny, happy place, ideal to bring your kids to. While the other, "Terminally Ill Toy Store, Queen of the West" is the dark, deathly night where trolls follow you around without a peep, hoping for a reason to chase you away ...or eat your children, I'm still not sure what their deal is.

I will definitely shop here again and suggest my family and friends to do so as well, maybe even people I don't like very much.

If this store ever left the neighbourhood, I don’t know what I would do! They have a great selection of high-quality toys, friendly staff, and have been there for us on pretty much every birthday (for our kid and others’) since we moved to the neighbourhood four years ago

This shop is an absolute gem and keeps me coming back. There are plenty of fabulous products that you can tell have been carefully curated to bring a wide selection to ensure that every last inch of this store has no shortage of treasures to delight kids both big and small.
