"Toys=Fun"

Toy Joy is the perfect place to kill time, find a unique/cute/gross/awesome gift for someone and people watch. This is no Toys-R-Us...it's more adult. If you haven't checked this place out yet, you're truly missing out on fun..or should I say joy?

Like Fraggle Rock? Transformers? Weird action figures? Go to Toy Joy!
Need party decorations? Dorm room decor? Lifelike reptiles and rats? Coat hooks shaped like fingers? Go to Toy Joy!

And FYI: They have a HUGE selection of Sanrio/Hello Kitty products. I'm talking the old school pencil boxes that every girl HAD to have...not just stuffed animals.

Enjoy people watching? This place is open late. Hit it up after the bar and you'll see some VERY interesting people.

Need a date idea? Go here and you'll have plenty to talk about.

Don't know how to wrap gifts? The super-friendly staff with wrap your stuff up in cool wrapping paper and Toy Joy stickers...for FREE!

Toy Joy rules! Just go.

"Fun Whimsical Place!"

This is a great place that children (or any age for that matter) can go to to get lost in their imagination.  PACKED full of classic and vintage toys as well as rare unique finds, anyone can spend hours exploring each corner of the place.  There's also a fun tea shop next store with yummy drinks.  Didn't give it 5 starts because the prices can be a little steep but otherwise a fun place to find fun, unique toys and gadgets for all ages!

"Toy Joy"

Toy Joy is a fun toy store for all ages. They let you play with the toys which are not in packages. There are always new toys there so if you come back for the same toy, chances are they probably don't have it. The one thing I don't like about this place is that there is sooooo much stuff around that you fell you are going to drown in toys. I think they put everything they get out on the shelves all at once. The employees are very nice. There is a small food place which I believe serves all vegan food.

"Absolute must stop for toys"

Even if you don't need to buy any toys, this place is a must see just for the experience. I can't believe all the toys they have for ALL ages. They have vintage toys that will bring you back to when you were your toddler's age. There's even a section that reminds me of the old time candy store I used to frequent as a child. Chalked to the ceiling with all sorts of sweets. Watch the little ones hands cuz they could easily grab alot of things. Maybe keep them int he stroller if you can!
