Whiz Kids

What a fun toy shop located at River Park Square! So many unique games, activities, and toys for kids of all ages. The store is up on the third level so it is easy to miss, but it is a great option for gift shopping for children. I found lots of unique toys and so did my toddler! He was not happy to leave!

Fantastic toy store. I like the variety of toys. There are board games, magic tricks, stuffed animals, animal flashlights, temporary tattoos, and much much more.
This store is also organized but very packed. The staff was very nice and helped me find every item on my list. I could have spent hours looking through everything but I was a time limit. The nice staffer navigated me through the store and find all of my items.
I will definitely be back to do more toy shopping.

Awesome store that carries lots of educational and fun toys and books!!. Like the other reviewer, I only have a Toys-​R-​Us in our area so we were blown away by the amount of cool and unique items Whiz Kids has. This is the place we want to do all our Christmas shopping in the future!
The store employee was also very helpful and nice. She noticed the items we were purchasing and suggested other books and movies our kids might like for next time. Also got us going on a punch card for future purchases and discounts.
I wish we had this store in the Tri-​Cities!

My mom and I stopped in here with my midget when we were visiting her in CDL, ID — wow! I really wish we had one of these closer to home!
Let me start by saying I hate shopping at Toys ‘R Us. The whole in your face, «Buy Barbie! Buy Disney! Buy This Brand!» thing gives me the heebie-​jeebies. I love independent stores that carry items based on educational and entertainment content, stuff that isn’t likely to break into a million tiny pieces the first time our little body builder plays with it.
It’s fun to just walk through the store, wide eyed and slack jawed, trying to take in all the cool stuff they have. My mom and I got into a monster puppet wrestling match (yes, my toddler already knows how to roll her eyes) with two puppets named Growlf & Miss Monsty. They obviously came home with us. We were also thrilled to see that they carry Calico Critters — they were called Sylvanians when I was a kid and I LOVED them. I can’t wait until my girl is a little older so I can play… I mean, she can play with them.
Whiz Kids carries a good selection of learning toys as well — 2D and 3D puzzles, musical instruments, building kits like Tinker toys, etc.
Very fun, very well stocked store. We’ll definitely be back the next time we go visit grandma!

This place is recently under new ownership, and is now the only Whiz Kids location in Spokane. It’s more toys than books, though they do carry a selection of children’s and parenting books. For baby toys, play food, science kits, big stuffed animals, trains, horses, dolls or games, they have a wide selection of unusual things, which makes it a great place to buy a unique birthday present there won’t be duplicates of!
