Granville Island Toy Company
Atmosphere: Overly stimulated for Toys for both the child and the adult whom has the inner child. If you walk in, the business of the array of stores or both attracting and charming, even if you don't like toys. Be prepared to spend an hour in there, even if you do not have an hour to spare.
Service: Every time I have gone in their, there is someone always friendly working there whom seems to genuinely like being there which is awesome.
Stuff: I say fuck Toy R' Us, way better selection of unique toys that both cater to the child and the adult child. The prices range from fair to expensive, however, not too expensive. A way better selection than the commercial box chain toy store. If you're child asks for a Babie, tell her to go shove it and buy her a cool Fraggle Rock Puppet or a Toad and Frog stuffy etc. -

re: Main Street Location.
A store filled with very high quality toys. It's one of those places that you really get what you pay for and with a very very very good selection for all price ranges. (eg. you can get a builiding blocks sorta tool set for $18 but you can also get an eco-friendly set for $40) Depends on what you are looking for.
They even have a little section for the littly tiny $1 or $2 toys. Lots of lego!
Really good place if you are a last minute shopper and you need a good present for ages zero - 13.. buy a gift bag and they wrap it all nice and pretty for you. The staff there have been so great showing us new toys and with awesome recommendations. And they definitely don't skimp on the tissue paper! --which we saved to rewrap other gifts of course! -

Granville Island Toy Company carries games, puzzles, costumes, Legos, and Playmobil. I haven't wanted to play with toys in 20+ years, that is until I came to this toy store. Granville Island Toy Company also carries eco-friendly toys. I saw some tea cups made from recycled milk jugs! How cool is that?

This store, which also has a location at 3298 Main Street, is an excellent toy store for so many reasons. It is a more intelligent toy store than its big box equivalent in that everything that is here seems to be well-chosen with kids and parents in mind. You will not, for example, find toy guns or hideous everything-in-pink girly type toys. Moreover, I didn't notice anything here that was really just advertising for a t.v. show or movie. What they do have here are plenty of well-made toys and games for real kids who want to jump rope, build train sets, make crafts or learn about dinosaurs. There are also plenty of board games for the older crowd. So, if you have a child in mind, come here before going anywhere else; you'll be glad you did.

The Toy Company's Main Street location is open until 9pm up until December 23rd (Sunday's until 6pm). Makes it sooo easy to leave the kids at home and get the Christmas shopping done!
