Toy Stores near Marblehead, MA

“This is a super cool toy store in Marblehead. While it is probably a bit more expensive than Target or Amazon, I love that you can shop local and give support to the local business owner. They also 'support everyone' which I totally love with their PRIDE flags. This is how it should be. There is also a place outside you can sit down if you desire. I love the tree in the middle of the store. If I was a kid, I would want to go into this toy store!! While my kids are now 15 and 17, I still love browsing in toy stores to see what they have! Check out the store - right in the middle of downtown! Even adults can have a good time here!”

“Today I dropped in with my 5 year old son for the potion making event around 2pm. I was initially a little worried when we walked in because it seemed to be a little girly, but the staff made him feel like he was a VIP. He had a blast making his potion!!!!! I forgot the staff members name, but she was amazing with my son. He has not stopped talking about making his potion.”

“Very friendly owner with great selection of comic books! They also host a lot of events and are very kid friendly. They even sell art supplies! And they support independent and local artists. Go Paper Asylum!”

“Amazing gift shop in Salem, MA! This place is a must-visit before heading home, especially if you're looking for Harry Potter-themed gifts. They have a fantastic selection of items perfect for kids, from wands and robes to unique trinkets that will delight any young fan. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, making the shopping experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended for finding that special present to take home!”

“Great store! Went to sell part of my old collection after getting discouraged by other stores and online vendors, def was very pleased with what I was paid! Owner has in depth knowledge and seems to really enjoy the hobby culture. These small hobby stores are getting harder to find so it's great to see one right in down town Salem! Def recommend!!!”

“A really cool comic book store with a massive selection of comics, manga and cards. It is cool to walk around the store to see what there is to offer and the staff are all knowledgeable and can help you find what you’re after.”

“The Corvette game for ps2 is awesome. I was excited to see this game there. C1-C5 corvettes on this game. It’s from 2003, the 50th anniversary C5 is on this game. Any corvette lover will love this game.”

“I had the pleasure of working with both Matt and Pat yesterday morning/afternoon (1/25). I'm pretty new to lego since I played with it as a kid. Both Matt and Pat were incredible helpful and friendly. Rarely do I find the customer service, care, friendliness and professionalism they both provided! I will be sure to come back to this specific store because of their help. Thank you so much for all your help!!”

“Great and informed staff.
Especialky thankful because in-person was a better choice than online given my needs.
I am part of a program called Book Buddies that provides books for 3rd graders who might not otherwise have a library of personal books at home. The goal is to foster a love of reading by providing books our students ask for.

I was matched to a young woman. Who never tells me what books she wants, but with the help of the knowledgeable staff, we were able to identify a couple of books that would be both at her reading and interest level and one a bit more challenging to encourage her to read over the pending break.”

“This store has so many awesome gifts, friendly staff and in a great location….. highly recommended this store to anyone looking for an awesome gift. I will return again. See my pics.”

“It's my favorite store. Buy all my gifts there. The people who work in the Haverhill store are wonderful. Very helpful and will bend over backwards for you.”

“I stopped in to browse while I was passing through the area. Super cool place! Great music?, huge selection of comics and memorabilia. Will stop by if I pass through again.”

“Great local Book Store. Cashier was friendly, an it had a nice local vibe. Pizza Girl ruined the ability to eat Pizza and shop for books at the same time though. Don't be like Pizza Girl!”

“I've been going here for a while and Its been a very welcoming environment with a great community. The owner is understanding and polite, and he has a great selection of cards, miniatures, and games for good prices. I've always come in and been able to play whatever I want or buy whatever I want with little to no issue. Whenever I am there he's always polite to whom ever walks in and will answer all their questions to the best of his ability. For example last Saturday a boy and his dad came in asking about Warhammer 40K and he answered them and showed them a set that might work for what he wanted, but before they spent any money he recommended that he do research and come in the next day to watch some more experienced players. Overall it's a great experience and cannot recommend it enough.”

“I love all the unique finds in this store ! But what I especially love is that my first time in here Jaxson went above and beyond to make me feel so welcome to always come back and receive the same awesome customer service! This was my third time in the store today and I was filled with good energy between Jaxson and (I believe the very helpful woman's name was..) Beth!!!? She's got some fabulous energy .. a doer!!! My second time here I'll be completely honest ... the checkout wasn't as helpful ... it just seemed as get me in and out ... and I missed Jaxson's energy from my first visit that I mentioned to them how it was my second time in and "where's the nice young man who helped me last time" ... all the workers adored him when I mentioned him. And being around the service industry for years , some people just have that energy that draws u to want to go back!! Jaxson has got that and I'm sure he will be very successful in life always!!! Love feeling welcomed and not judged where I go .. as the first time I went in I did feel a sense of being followed for stealing ... maybe it was my paranoia but I had a big homeless looking jacket on ... my hair was a mess ... I honestly hadn't showered that day ... and I felt so uncomfortable showing up until... JAXSON!! Keep up your good energy kid!! U can change a lot of peoples day!!! And u are going to make it so far in life!!! The paper store should just hand u the business ! ;)Happy holidays!!!Also I read the review about the "vulgar" language ... Get a sense of humor lady... we are all adults... and we wouldn't have children that are unaware of that language running around or walking in the store unattended ... unless ur just an irresponsible and ignorant parent... that review should be taken down Lady acts like she never saw a swear word ... ur kids see worse on the internet love ! Xoxo (this is in reference to her complaining about the adult humor oven mitts and socks )”

“This type of store didn't change much over the years. Different items, plenty of t shirts, phone accessories, promo items etc.. still found some books and other stuff. Had an ok time. Will visit when back in the area again.”

“I took both boys to Build a Bear North Shore Mall sat. It's not too expensive there are deals going on 2 for 40 . It's an interactive experience. The kids have to step on a pedal that makes the giant clear bear stuffing machine turn round n round. It honestly was so cool. After the bear or dinosaur in our case was filled the woman has kids select a heart ♥ to first hold to thier own heart before putting the heart in thier new stuffed animal. It was only like 5 bucks to upgrade to the real heart beat to add into it. One the kids selected real Dino noises but you could be there just an hour actually looking at every noise or you can record yourself . The accessories are also inexpensive giant beds for the stuffed animal and cars for them to go in. They advise the kids now go brush your dinos and give a bath it was a very interactive activity alot to it then for free you can go enjoy the kids play space at North shore mall which is in front build a bear so minimum 20 to make the bear then spend hour at playspace decent afternoon out for families on budget !”
