Castle Toys And Games

This place is fabulous. Wonderful selection, incredibly helpful owner. Here are some highlights:
–FREE GIFT WRAPPING. You buy it, they’ll wrap it for you on the spot with the paper of your choice and a big fancy bow. At the holidays they say it gets pretty backed up, so you might have to come back later for your finished packages.
–10% discount when you show a birthday invitation. If you are shopping for a child’s birthday party, don’t forget the invitation!
–toys you won’t find everywhere. Looking for something more unique? Educational? This is the place to look. I bought a single-​player chess game. How cool is that?!
–«Royalty Club» benefits. Join the mailing list (for free) and you get some perks. There is a small section of toys that are on sale for Club members for $ 6 each (probably about a 50% discount). You also stay informed of specials sales and events.
Honestly, the owner takes pride in his store and it shows. After my most recent visit, he sent me a hand-​written thank you note with a $ 5 customer appreciation gift card.
I will be back, again and again and again and again…

Best toy store in the North Hills. The selection is plentiful and they have layaway for Christmas. Perfect place to hide your gifts!

This beats the big chain stores any day. They have a great selection of toys that you won’t find many other places — even some classics that I haven’t seen in 20 years. The owner is friendly and welcoming and willing to take the time to talk with the customers. We stopped in a few minutes before closing and he didn’t make us feel rushed at all.
I would much rather shop here than Toys R Us. You can support a local business, avoid the crowds, and find a better selection of toys.
