“Friendly staff. Love the BLM sign and the sign highlighting womens history month. It gives a welcoming all inclusive vibe right down to the books they choose to put on display!”
“I was a little late ordering a birthday present for my nephew (bad auntie!) and didn't have time to purchase, wrap, and mail a present to him in Vermont from where I live. I ordered online from Turner Toys and added a note asking if they might be able to giftwrap the toys, not even knowing if they offered giftwrapping on shipping orders. Not only did they wrap the gifts, but they did such a beautiful job and even sent me a photo! Thank you so much, Turner Toys! I'll definitely be back for future gifts :)”
“This is one of the best toy stores I’ve been to. They have a ton of seasonal toys that are quality and different than you can find at other places (outdoor and pool/beach toys right now). They have creative, fantastical, wooden, educational, and crafting toys/sets. Prices are good, and it’s right next to Target. Skip Target and buy quality toys at similar prices, while supporting a local family business!”
“The tour was a really cool experience to learn about the history of Vermont Teddy Bear Co. and see the facility. Our tour guide was really nice and knowledgeable as well. It takes a little less than 30 minutes probably and you get to see pretty much the whole operation. I definitely recommend especially at the price they offer the tour.
We also made a bear while there and purchased one of their stuffed turtles. The quality of the jointed bear is extraordinary. The fact that the parts were actually made in the factory is so cool and the way you can mix and match with the jointed bears made for a super unique experience! Yes the price is very steep for a stuffed animal but the way I look at it is that this stuffed animal is a lifelong work of art that was a labour of love and I will always remember the experience especially because it was me and my wife’s 1st anniversary.
I definitely recommend checking out the factory and vouch for the quality and cuteness of the stuffed animals they offer!
Side note: please consider putting green eyes on the turtles! I bought the turtle because they are my favourite animals but was a little sad they all had brown eyes. The owls and sharks (I believe) had blue eyes but the all green animal only had brown eyes. It just makes more sense aesthetically for the turtle to have green eyes right? Thanks for the consideration!”
“This store curates the greatest toys and games, and has reasonable prices. I told the owner when I was last in that I so wish I was a kid again just so I could buy myself some of the very cute and cool things there! It’s now one of my go-to stores for buying kid birthday presents. So many cool things it’s actually hard to pick just one or two items!”
“Always wonder if a repeat visit will live up to memory. 2021 crowds seemed to encourage the Museum to up the ante. The best was the walk through the woods. Call them fireflies or fairies, but that walk is magical.”
“I have two young kids and essentially never buy brand new clothes for them because that becomes unaffordable very quickly - we went to Once Upon a Time Child this past weekend and bought a dozen new pieces of clothing, a couple of books and a doll for my daughter for less than eighty dollars.
The selection was wide, the prices reasonable and the staff pleasant. I highly recommend this for any parents who are looking for an affordable way to dress their children.”
“There's nothing like this near me, so was surprised to find it in Vermont. Typical teenager quote- I'm so happy right now- finding so much in person instead of buying online. Staff really friendly and knowledgeable.”
