Toy Stores in Iowa City, IA

“You can tell how much love has been poured into this amazing space. From the rainbow awning that greets you to the cute clothes, blankets, toys, books and so much more. Fabulous brands and always something new! I love to take my girls here when we are in town and grab something new! You can always find great quality gifts for newborns and toddlers!”

“I think people are really not understanding that this store sells collectibles AND RARE FINDS. So of course some things are gonna be a little pricey but it’s not outrageous for what the items are worth. A simple eBay search would show that. There’s also other stuff that’s cool that is priced great! You definitely can’t go out and find these toys everywhere. Trust me, you’ll be impressed.”

“Living in what used to be Sycamore Mall, on the east side of town, The Hobby Corner is a great spot to find radio controlled items, games, models, puzzles, trains, tools, rockets, educational sets and all sorts of cool toys! It's got a wide variety of items. I popped in on a Saturday evening and perused the shop. There are so many unique items, all priced appropriately. I was impressed to overhear a regular customer pop in and chat with the staff. There is definitely a sense of community at this shop. My daughter saw a daffodil Lego set and was thrilled have it purchased for her. (You're welcome.) It's cool that they have board game night (Thursdays) and that you can come play a board game yourself anytime during the day. On the same note-- if you have an old board game you can sell it here. You can now sell your used games in our store. To do this simply follow these few steps. You set the price and once it is sold you get 80% of that price as store credit. The coolest thing about The Hobby Corner is that they will order anything for you if you can't find it in the store-- at NO additional cost!”

“I didn't purchase anything, but I will be sure to come back soon. I don't mind having to shop by appointment or knock on the door to enter. The beauty of the store and the books inside it make up for the minor inconvenience by far. The cats are so sweet and friendly as well”

“Amazing place for all table gamers! Great selection of board games and the prices are very reasonable. The owner is super nice and knowledgeable on all games! They host card tournaments weekly too; the patrons are very friendly and welcoming as well. Would give 6 stars if I could!!”
