Store was much bigger than I expected. Nice variety of puzzles and board games on the second floor.
Like stepping into a time warp. Amazing little toy store with 2 floors.
Oh my this store is the toy store from your dreams and or the movies. Enormous, three floors!They have tons for kids, rooms full of stuffed animals, a whole floor of dolls. The place is enormous I knew what I was looking for and became overwhelmed with all there was.To get to the doll floor youll prolly have to ask for someone to turn on the lights for you and go up. And youll have to pay for everything you want as you leave the floor you found it on.Truly impressive store.
This is a great toy store and its nice to see a small business still doing well in the city! The people that run this place are very nice and friendly. There are over 3 floors of toys. The game selection is quite overwhelming but in a good way. The have so many! From the classics to the new ones. They also have an extensive model train department which is quite impressive. Recently I noticed (and I am sure its been there forever) a model car section and model soldier section for dioramas. The third floor is all dolls - high end collectible and the run of the mill baby doll. These are just some of the very neat things at this place. We also make a visit here just to see what is new with the toys.
Ive known this place for many years . There service is # 1 exclamation point !!! If you dont go there you dont know what you are missing . They have many things to choose from . So go there and what you can get . And be nice to the staff . If you be nice to them . They will be nice to you as well . David .
Its a great toy store that has 3 floors to it. The 3rd floor is all Doll collectors. The 2nd floor is games, puzzles, fidgets. The 1st floor is a seasonal mix plus assorted varieties of toys and collectibles, watches, and more.
Love this place!!! Came here as a kid and it was magical! Im now 40, made me feel like a kid again! So many awesome and unique gifts. Some a little expensive but if you are looking for something special for a special someone Im sure you can find something here!!!
Fabulous! Wonderful selection of toys and unique gifts!! Very friendly staff
I wandered in here on a lunch break. It’s not just a toy shop, but also a gift and collector’s store. I could find a personal gift for EVERYone I know in here. It’s like a museum, it feels magical. The owner is the sweetest guy and 2020 didn’t treat him fairly; stop by and find a gift for someone’s next birthday.
Always such a pleasant experience shopping here. Very unique toys and gifts.
2 floors of toy treasures. I could spend hours here just looking. Great place to get unique items.
Wonderful little shop with a charm of times long past. The older gentleman working on the first floor ( they make a point of separating the items between floors ) was wonderfully helpful and courteous. I got some wonderfully unique pieces from local artisans as well as some more traditional gift shop and w and TONS of toys for kids of all ages. If you are ANY kind of hobbyist and you get a chance to get Pitt, PLEASE find time to at least have a look around this classic toy shop. It is a classic piece of modern S Americana and youd be missing out. Theyre COVID-safe and vigilant about it.
Lovely place! Storeys and storeys of toys, Christmas gifts and tree ornaments! Friendly and helpful staff. The board game section is huge and the staff there helps us out in choosing what to buy based on our interests.
Awesome place for kids or adults, something for everyone. Friendly service and cool atmosphere. Definitely one of my favorite places in Pittsburgh
Wayland is the best. You can trust this mechanic shop!! Been going here for my Toyotas for over 12 years.
Toys r us aint got nothing on Randall. You can play with almost everything!
Fine collection of curiosities and novelties. Be sure to set aside at least a half hour to explore all the floors. Excellent gift opportunities for curious children and adults who love to collect or decorate.I stop in each Christmas season. Theres nothing much like this around.
This is a must stop for anyone in Pittsburgh who has kiddos or who is a kid at heart. This is an authentic old school toy store that has something for kids of every age. Located downtown it makes for a great place to stop with the kids when visiting around the holidays.
Location: Smithfield Street between Weiner World & Huntington. Street parking and garage parking across the street.Facility:First Floor: Popular toys, greeting cards, stuffed animal room, holiday village room.Second Floor: Model Train sets of all sizes, model cars, airplanes, board games and hobbies.Third Floor: Dolls, barbies, play-house items and discounts.Staff: Family-owned. The owner works the front desk, Mick works the second floor. Both love their store and their jobs. This place has a magic about it and everyone is on board.Experience: It may be the kid in me but this is the coolest store I have ever been in. You could spend hours just checking out one floor. This is now my favorite store in the city and Im excited to share it with all of little ones in my family, but really I need a reason to come back.Conclusion: If you are into model trains, hobbies, have any person looking for a card or cool gift this is your place. Expect to be wowed and spend tons of time. All the prices are fair and I really am proud we have a store like this in Pittsburgh.
Really unique place with quality selection.
Super cool store with a ton of toys and nostalgic items. The store itself is very big. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I bought a kendama on a whom because it looked cool. The guy behind the counter told me about how its one of his favorite things they sell there and showed me a few tricks and told me how to get started learning how to use it. Love this place.
It is a very neat place. Brings back memories when I was a kid. Great atmosphere, its almost magical. u want to feel like a kid for a few minutes, u must visit
A lot of old time toys.
This store is a gem! It has a lot of nostalgia items which I love.. and a lot of items you can gift... the store is so clean.. I didnt notice a speck of dust... my daughter has been begging me to take her back..
I like to take my kids here and I feel like I am one too. This toy store reminds me of my childhood. They sell a lot of unique toys that make great gifts.
Toy stores like this are a rare commodity these days. Old school place that has been such a great part of the city for decades. Support this wonderful small business!!
Simply amazing! 3 stories of anything you can think of and more! Prices very reasonable and what a great way to say goodbye to TOYS R US than to shop here!!!! Will be my future place to go for all holidays and kids! Move over learning express!
Such historic toy store makes you feel 10 again when walking in.
A neat old fashioned toy store, I had a hard time figuring out who their target market was. A lot of misc. things to look at.
One of the best toy shops in Pittsburgh. It has a huge collection of toys. There are categories of toys for all ages. This shop is 48 years old. There are 3 floors full of toys. There is some offers going on the 4th floor toys when I visited on Friday. Good Luck !!
The best old timey toy store in pittsburgh. I visit every time I get a chance!
I love this store. Every holiday and days in between i always find that something special i wasnt looking for. So many memories
A wonderful toy store tucked away in downtown. It makes you feel like you are in Mr. Magoriums Wonder Emporium.
So unique a great place to go and see in person amazing collections and items throughout the store
We come here every year for Christmas shopping. Its a super cute, three story shop with lots of games and toys and novelty items. I always find something cool when I come here.
Its Pittsburghs version of New York Citys FAO Schwarz!
A must see if you are in downtown Pittsburgh. Multiple floors of everything from classic board games to figurines. This palce is amazing during the holiday season.
Classic independent toy store. Definitely check it out. There are multiple floors of fun of all kinds!
Ive been going to that store for 10 years now. Every time when I happen to be in downtown (once or twice per year) I go there. Thats the cutest place where you feel like a kid again! To my surprise all employees recognize me by now and they are all the friendliest and nicest people! There are not very many places around that have such a charm and character. Love it soooo much! Its magical!
Very interesting store. Mix of modern and classic toys.
I love this toye store! They have such great pieces to pick up for a reasonable price!
Surprisingly large toy and gift shop in the middle of downtown. Three floors of toys and gifts. Needless to say, I was blown away. I went in looking for some puzzle and was not disappointed. The variety of puzzle, board games, and novelties is amazing. Staff was extremely friendly and accommodating.
I love this place. Love love love. It has toys no one else does, it smells like a museum, the staff are so helpful. I always go when Im in town.
Fantastic assortment of gifts and toys for old and young alike. Great gift ideas. Staff very helpful and friendly.
Brought back memories of toy stores from the past. One of the best. Loved it.
Great Mom & Pop-style store with a fun selection & two-floors of just about everything from mainstream down to windup clapping monkeys. Walking in gives you the feeling we need to return to supporting individually owned stores, especially Downtown.
Great old-fashioned toy store with upper and lower floors. Excellent selection of all types of toys.
What a unique place. We found some great toys and the gentleman there was very sweet and helpful.
This toy store is a delight! The old fashioned toys are available here!
Great place for kids of all ages! Shop Local!
Amazing store! We just happened Im by accident. They have an incredible Lego and Playmobil selection. The staff were great. I couldnt recommend this store more.
Nostalgia overload! It might not be the cheapest place or the most convenient but its worth the trip. Its got everything you wanted as a child so now you can buy it for when your nieces and nephews visit. Honestly I didnt but those toys for me...
The employees here are wonderful. The toy selection here is also wonderful. It really is the old times toy store that youd see in the movies.Unfortunately, the owner is a terrible, decrepit, bigot who doesnt deserve a single cent out of your wallet. Its a real shame because I would love to shop here more often.Take your business elsewhere. Even the big box stores are more deserving of your money than this old man.
Love this place. I found it by accident. Now i go out of my way to come here.
I always smile when I am in there. Real authentic toys that stir the imagination.
Nice selection of unique toys. Higher quality than the box stores but also a little more expensive. They have a hobby section for trains and construction toys as well.
Like the old fashion feel and prices are reasonable.
Great little old time toy store. Two floors and toys/games/stuffed animals everywhere and in every nook you can find.
Friendly staff and a very wide selection of items.
Very unique store! Definitely worth a gander if your like toys and oddities.
Such a cool place, gifts galore for collectors and toy lovers, especially adults with good taste
Huge selection of Legos, Lionel Trains, Board Games, Dolls, and kids toys. Prices are not too high, but more than youd pay at a national chain. Its downtowns only toy store, and well worth the trip, even if just to look around and reminisce.
Our absolute favorite toy store!!
There hiring everyone!!!! If you need a job and have a way to work u will work out just fine make sure you get there soon to apply...
Unique old school toy store in the middle of town with helpful staff and a unique assortments of toys, gifts, and collectibles.
Great store for classic toys, games and so much more. A Pittsburgh institution for over 40 years
Sw randell downtown hidden treasure, best toy store in pittsburgh
Literally has everything you want and things you didnt know you wanted. Friendly staff also
Still a classic and worth the trip downtown all by itself.
My husband and I go there every year on Christmas Eve and we always buy a tree ornament for our tree but my mother-in-law took me there 30 years ago and I fell in love with the store remind you of things and toys you had when you were little girl or a little boy is awesome place to visit I recommend it to everyone.
Best toys and gift shop. They have a huge collection.
So many fun and unique toys and games.
Its a shame. I grew up shopping here, and I was in town last weekend. I almost walked in to buy some gifts and then I saw all the trump paraphernalia in the windows. What a stupid business decision. If you want to believe the bs that he spouts, thats your decision. But putting your views in your storefront is only going to stop people from spending money.
Fun, quirky toy store. 3 levels of toys, you are bound to find something!
I went there to buy a Ty bear for my new grandson. The clerk suggested I go to the 3rd floor to look. The owner interrupted her and asked her to take me to the 3rd floor and stay with me. She told him that another employee would be there. Not sure what the issue was but, I wont shop there again.
Not the friendliest staff, but good selection
A charming, old-fashioned toy store. I often go in here just to walk around and take a trip down memory lane.
An interesting collection - find that item you might not find anywhere else!
Awesome store. I love going there.
Only place with nesting dolls I have found
Messy, overpriced, and the clerk/owner? was rude to a Hispanic family and kept talking about how much he loves Trump.
Great place for toys and games.
Full of imaginative, creative things for kids and grownups. I stop in whenever I can.
I love old school toy stores
Yearly Christmas tradition! Highly recommend
Old time toy store unlike any other in Pittsburgh!
Very historic and unusual toy store with 3 floors of items.
One of a kind store. A Pittsburgh memory.
Awesome selection with a feeling you are timetravelling
Toys, novelties, and necessities for kids, collectors, and hobbyists. Hours of fun on display.
Awesome place to reminisce about childhood
While checking out today the owner made overt, racist comments and my kids were right there. Will never spend another dime here.
Cool old multi level toy store
Unbelievable selection of toys
Great Toy Store
Very best toy store!
