Tutoring Toy

This place is the BEST for finding unique and special toys from all around the world. They carry brands such as Bruder, Janod, Haba, and many more, all of extremely high quality. Prices are also very reasonable, generally on par with or less than Amazon. Plus, you’re supporting a lovely local business!

Slip back in time and enjoy all the toys and small creatures about. The kind care takers will help you find the perfect gift or puzzle to help you set off on your own adventure where your mind will set the stage and your desire will lead the way. When you’ve reached that special place, share it with a new friend you were to meet along the journey of life. Support that child in you whom takes every step a new and breaths another breathe of fresh cool mountain air.

I stopped in the Saturday before Easter in a panic! Our three kiddos asked for Kendamas, after googling what the heck they were I decided to stop here first. And I’m so glad I did. They not only had Kendamas but many styles. The owner also informed me all about them. This is such a great little store.

Great very little toy store in ritzi Foothill. Great staff.; They are owners actually present. no discounts, co coupons or rewards later. I do shop around a lot and can usually find a toy that ‘works” for my 3 y.o. boy. Most of my toy dollars would go much farther by shopping around however… i would call a 4 star, but the seriously limited, pricy selection doesn’t entice me to leave with more than one toy at a time… i would deem a worthy effort but to be honest the selection is kind of traditional and unintriiguing. Each customer seems to be allowed to «open up and talk» at the register to one of the owners so a short line can last an agonizing long time if you are in a hurry, don’t be…

This is a fabulous locally owned toy store. Just like I remember when I was a kid. They help you find an age appropriate toy and even wrap the gifts for you. Perfect for the procrastinator. Why would you go to the big box store when you have a community store like this?

Very cool little toy spot tucked away in the Foothill Village. Like Red Balloon, they’re light on all the mass-​produced junk clogging the aisles of Wal-​Mart and Toys R Us and instead have a collection of unique toys, several of which appear to originate in Europe. I’m all for this «making the world smaller» business, without compromising the spirit, integrity, flavor and authenticity of the things (including some of those old and well-​worn traditions) that make us different and if they elect to do it through toys, more to the good.
There are gobs and gobs of neat things here, so much so that trying to take it all in, given how crammed to the nook this place is, would take some major doing. I personally give a slight nod to Red Balloon (mostly due to location and layout), but the staff at both places are caring and wonderful and either/​both fantastic local places deserve your (and my) business. This is one of those business that, when you come across it, you’re glad there’s a place like this around.

My husband & I stopped by Tutoring Toy for the first time tonight in search of a birthday gift for our young niece. I’m so glad we decided to check this place out. The staff here are all so wonderful. A kind gentleman pointed out a few popular items & then left us to browse the store, which is loaded with tons of unique toys & crafts for kids.
When we approached the check-​out counter, he & another female employee complimented our selection and offered to wrap it free of charge! (& it looked great when she was finished!) Great service, great selection & reasonable prices! What more can you ask for?

Family owned and run, this is a magical, happy place. Best selection, best service and always a joy. This is the type of local shop you hope will be around forever.

I can’t say enough about the Tutoring Toy and the staff who are extremely helpful at guiding me in finding the perfect gifts for my grandchildren. We visit Salt Lake City often, and a trip to the Tutoring Toy is always the top tourist attraction for everybody in our family.
I try to shop there for birthdays, Christmas, and other occasions, so it is very impressive that I can always find new, exciting, age appropriate toys each time I shop. I love this place and the people who work there!

This was a nice little toy store that has lots of educational toys. My wife is a teacher as is always looking for new things for her classroom. They also have knowledgeable staff that are ready to answer your questions or point you in the right direction that you cant seem to find on your own. i thought the prices were competitive to what you would find in a mall.

Great store with lots of fun toys. Staff is very nice, welcoming, and helpful.

Best toy store on the planet!
We left my daughter’s stuffed animal a duck there one day on accident. When we returned to see if they still had it a few hours later they not only had her duck they had fixed his eye and foot!!! My daughter (now nearly 5) has had that duck since she was born… I was nearly in tears over their beautiful jester! We have made it our goal to buy all our toys from their shop ever since! It’s people who care this much that can and will keep the economy in the United States alive! Thank you for being wonderful!
Friendly loving staff, great selection and we always try to support local business!

Today was the second time I’ve shopped at Tutoring Toy. The staff is so incredibly helpful. I asked for a specific toy recommendation for a 2-​year old boy related to airplanes. I was shown several fantastic options. They even gift-​wrapped the items with their complimentary service. I will definitely go back and would highly recommend.

I love the Tutoring Toy!!! The owners of this amazing local store are super friendly and will go out of their way to help you find that special something. The gift wrapping is always free and is very appreciated by lazy people like me! ;)
They have a unique selection of toys that you can’t find at the Big Box retailers. The toys are conveniently sectioned into age appropriate toys. It makes last minute birthday gifts a snap! I love that most of the toys do not require batteries. Just good old kid power and some imagination.
Trust a mother of 3, this is the place to be! (stop rhyming I mean it! anybody want a peanut?) ;)

I’ve had terrible luck with toy stores in SLC as they tend to stock nothing but overpriced plastic for boys and pink nonsense for girls, but Tutoring Toy has solved my problem.
I was seriously impressed by the great robotics toys and science kits. When my nieces/​nephews are a bit older, I’ll be stocking up! Until then, I’m sticking with the old-​fashioned building blocks, awesome games and everything Duplo/​Lego.
If you want to get the kids in your life a good toy that will last forever and encourage them to think, build and learn instead of consume fad toys and watch TV, go to Tutoring Toy.

Why go to a ‘big box’ store when you could buy AMAZING toys here?! Support the local economy and check this place out! Great toys for babies to ‘tweens, and the quirky ‘older’ kid.

Wow! What a store. I have never bought a thing here, but I can’t stop myself from walking in and just looking and playing with the demo toys. I can say that when I do someday have children, I will shop here a lot.
Tutoring toy is an amazing, locally owned, toy store that carries a very unique blend of educational and FUN toys for children from birth to late teens. The selection is amazing, many products are from Europe and all will entertain and educate your children.
As an adult male who loves toys I can say that I am entertained and educated by many of the toys there.
Prices seem to be on target for the products and I don’t think they are any higher than than they would be at the big chain toy stores.
