Bull Frog Corner

So sad and disappointed. As a local, I have been faithful and at times spent more than I had to just support a local business. I called in desperation today to find a specific specialty item that was lost/​destroyed and causing distress to my child. I HAD to have a replacement and I had to have it tonight. I called at 4:00 PM to see if they even had the item. They did. Then I confirmed their hours…“open until six today and every day”. Okay. I asked my boss to leave work early. I arrived at 5:45 PM to find a locked door.WOW. JUST WOW. After I called and even told them the story and how I need this tonight for my child. They knew I was coming. Not that they cared. Now I don’t care to ever spend another dime there and I will be sure to tell anyone that will listen of my experience. Broke my heart.

Great toy store for kids, but kids were not seem welcome in the store. It has taken me over a week to write this review. Wanted to calm down, but it still bothers me. Had my grandchildren in the store to buy their Easter gifts. Had six kids and 4 adults. Toys all over the place (on floor, on shelves, hanging from ceiling). The comments from the emploee behind the counter were mean and sarcastic. The kids were not damaging nor pulling toys off shelves, they were looking and touching the toys. There were other children in the shop also but they were also just being kids. My one daughter put back the item she was going to buy after hearing the employee’s sarcastic mumblings. I did not put back my items as I was not going disappoint my grandkids. However, I was so tempted. I spent quite a bit in that store BUT will never return and will never recommend this store.

Awesome store! Lots and lots of stuff to look at from garden flags to toys for kids. Not too pricey either. It’s a little overwhelming with all the toys but it’s an awesome store and it’s like a maze! Oh and the candy section is awesome! Lots of old time candy from the 60 – 90’s

They have all kinda of toys for all ages. This is a great place to find a gift, but be warned: if you bring your kids you won’t leave empty handed. Toys are all over and easy accessible for kids, even crawling toddlers. It is very cramped on the inside, but it adds to its charm and appeal. Very cute, I’ll probably visit again next time.

My kids adore this place. We visit every other year when we visit Oak Island. It has a huge selection of neat toys and gadgets. It is set up into sections and each section has a theme (John Deere, ballet, wildlife etc). We usually find ourselves stopping by a couple times during the trip!

Definitely a «tourist trap» type store, with lots of toys, coastal souvenirs, along with a decent candy section.
It’s really cluttered inside, which made it difficult to navigate through the store. We didn’t encounter any employee assistance, which was a bit odd, but not a big deal.
The prices seem to be pretty high for the candy section. They have all the old school favorites, as well as newer candy. You can also choose single candy, by the pound.

We were staying in Carolina Beach and decided to take the ferry across to Southport to explore for the day. The first place we stopped was Bull Frog Corner due to the fact we assumed our two young daughters would enjoy it… we were right.
As soon as you walk in the door you are overwhelmed with toys and knick knacks in every direction… the floor, ceiling, walls, everywhere. They even have a huge selection of candy including some that I haven’t seen in years such as gum cigarettes and Pop Rocks. I picked up some sour cream and onion flavored crickets to try – hey, you only live once!
They boast that they have over 10,000 educational children book titles. There are plenty of books all around as well as educational DVD’s and little endcaps with a few playing on LCD TV’s. I saw everything from robotic bugs to very classy tea sets, to stuffed animals and astronomy gear.
The biggest thing about this store is that it’s more of an experience than just a kids toy store. There aren’t aisles like you would find in a store at the mall, instead the store snakes displays around to the left and the right wrapping all the way around the store using every inch of space. I really wish I had taken a photo of this place because it is unbelievable.
They even have a few things for adults such as locally crafted artwork and glass and picture frames for pictures of the kids. If you happen to be in Wilmington or Carolina Beach it is definitely worth the $ 5 ferry ride (for your car and everyone in it) to take a day trip over to Southport and if you have kids, I would stop here first. They’ll love it, you’ll love it, and the prices won’t break the bank like you would expect in a small town specialty store.
