5.0 star rating
  9/7/2011

Walking into this treasure trove of a store, I always feel like I'm stepping into Mr. Magorium's Wonder Imporium, or some such fantastical place.  I almost expect to see people randomly dancing and bursting joyfully into song, maybe a few adorable…More »

  4/19/2011

I'm the first to admit that I'm little more than a big kid at heart.  I have to say, as someone who works with children, sometimes I think I get more enjoyment out of the books and toys aimed at them than they do.  Well, not really, but it comes…More »

I'm a little bit ashamed to admit that I enjoy visiting this zoo.  Mainly because I feel bad for some of the animals whose enclosures are unfortunately not as spacious as they should be, and as some of the other animals' habitats are.  However, this…More »

As a preschool teacher, I buy a lot of children's books at this wonderful store (and at a professional discount!  Hurrah!), and I always look forward to a chance to drop in for a visit.  Aside from all the treasures that may be found for the young…More »

(902) 431-8543
4.0 star rating
  9/7/2011

This is a cute little store with quite a bit to offer.  They have a range of items for children from infancy up to school age, and these are not the quality of toys you will find at your local Wal-Mart (which, believe me, is a good thing).  There is…More »

Stopped in this delightful store on my lunch break today (I work nearby, and after stopping at the Tim's in the same part of the hospital for my daily caffeine fix, decided to browse this gift shop as well).  It is quite an interesting store, with a…More »

A truly beautiful spot for the nature lover to visit, and my favourite place to go for a hike.  Expansive trails wind and twist throughout woods filled with breathtaking scenery (including a very pretty waterfall), and make this park a must-see…More »
