From the outside, this place looks like a tiney run down shop. But when you get inside, it is like a treasure chest for not only little children, but the little kids within us adults as well. This is not one of your typical, modern day toy shops. its more one of those vintage shops that carries toys, dolls, and more from yesterday and things that are hard to find today. The store is a lot of fun to browse around and children love to check out all the things here.

Last Xmas, I got my two year old niece a huge tub of Legos! They were the really huge blocks that are perfect for young toddlers! My niece absolutely adored the gift and still plays with it today. The colorful and big blocks keep her occupied for hours as she builds huge towers (and then knocks them down!). Legos are a great activity for children because they are safe, keep them busy, and are quite challenging for the young mind!
Best of all, these blocks are easy on the parents as well. Little cleanup is involved and they are easy to store away because they come in handy container that can easily fit into closets or under beds!
Try this one out for a happy toddler!

This is my favorite place in the whole world. There is stuff here you did not know existed, all tucked away in tiny drawers for you to discover. There's stuff everywhere. Sock monkeys hanging from the ceiling, masks, stickers, books, old surpluss toys and new stuff too.

I'm not a heavy beading crafter, but I wanted to check out this store because it is close and I was working on a project and needed their help. Everyone in the store was helpful and friendly and offered a lot of advice and solutions. However, I found that their prices for what I needed were a bit high. They had an incredible selection, though, and I was impressed by their store.

This is such a cool store. It is definitely worth checking out!
They sell lots of of books, games, software and puzzles for brain health. There are tables all around the store with games on display so you can try them first. The people are all really nice and know what they are talking about.
I did all my shopping for the holidays here - there was something for everyone and it didn't break the bank!
I've been telling all my friends about Marbles.
Pros: Cool concept, unique products, great service
Cons: Hard to find - on Grand btwn Rush & Wabash

I have a real soft spot for toy stores. No matter how old I am, I am always looking for new and interesting things. I was intrigued by this classic and charming store. Lots to choose from with some items you just can't find at Target or Wal Mart. Support the little guy shops and pick up a new teddy bear for your child...or yourself!

This is a wonderful little toy store to browse through. They stock the normal run of the mill toys you would find in larger stores, but they also stock lots of different and unique toys that are lots of fun and educational for the children. Their prices are reasonable and sometimes they have sales where you can find a great deal. The store is a little over crowded with stock but it is still enjoyable to look through.

I love this store. I'm so tired of all the electronics and cartoon and tv driven toys!! Timeless toys really allows you to let a child express their imagination. I just bought my niece and nephews magnifying glasses and bug guides and they had a blast bug hunting! I"ve bought so many toys their now and the kids are always excited because it 's going to be different and not something they've seen on tv. The staff is helpful, knowledgable and they do such a great job with gift wrap!! I look forward to being able to buy "the fun cool" stuff at Timeless. Keep up the good work!!
Pros: Selection, service, price

Words on a computer screen can't do justice to how amazing this store is! This store is all things vinyl and shiny. They sell flashy little toys from places like Japan and everything you see on their shelves is very rare and very unique. If you love rare, hip collectibles this store is in a league of its own. They are known the world over for being a huge resource to rare toy collectors online - but amazingly their store is located just a little south of Wicker Park.
They also sell stickets, tshirts and have a art gallery attached adjacent to the main store.
Stop in today and get ready to be impressed
Pros: They are the best toy store on Earth.
Cons: Its not cheap
