Playful Minds

Never answer their emails. I already tried contacting twice and nothing regarding my pickup order

This shop is an absolute gem and keeps me coming back. There are plenty of fabulous products that you can tell have been carefully curated to bring a wide selection to ensure that every last inch of this store has no shortage of treasures to delight kids both big and small.

My daughters are both in their 20s now but I still come here to purchase items when my nieces are over or I have a kids birthday or Christmas gift to purchase. The staff are always kind, knowledgeable and patient. The place is narrow and can become easily congested but the staffs always cool, calm and collected. I appreciate that plus the hace wrapping available if needed (how great is that) plus I always end up buying helium balloons lol. Side note: one year while I was in college I brought my kids to a Halloween party at wychwood barns. They had a raffle for a gift certificate for playful minds 200-250 I’m not sure which it was but I told my kids right when we got there that I had to buy tickets right away because I knew I was going to win. I don’t know how I knew but I told them god sees me in school, single parent and struggling. He’s going to let me win. I one lol. Had to share that. If you don’t shop here, please do. Support our small and local businesses. The owner os a sweetheart too. Thanks for many years of playful, unique and thoughtful gifts ~Faith, Bianca & Alyssa <3

What a pleasant surprise! This place crams a lot of variety into a tiny space and the staff know it all like the back of their hands. We avoided it right before Christmas because we were not quite ready for close quarters during COVID but right afterwards it was one trip for all the nieces and nephews. It’s the best place for all the kids.

A cozy toy store, packed with both popular and unique items (including candy!) Add a welcoming staff and you get a local shop worthy of support.

I was looking for rare Hot Wheels cars and was directed to a different brand. More larger and unique cars based from real life, I had to get them. Kids love 'em as well as I, a man-child that is very particular in my choices.

I wrote a review about another local toy shop in Toronto that I won't name here. Pleasantly surprised when I entered Playful Minds. Both shops are like night and day.

Playful Minds is the bright, sunny, happy place, ideal to bring your kids to. While the other, "Terminally Ill Toy Store, Queen of the West" is the dark, deathly night where trolls follow you around without a peep, hoping for a reason to chase you away.or eat your children, I'm still not sure what their deal is.

I will definitely shop here again and suggest my family and friends to do so as well, maybe even people I don't like very much.

Great experience ordering online and picking up in store. And the place is clearly run with a lot of love
