When it comes to toys, it’s no secret that the coolest, funnest, most awesomest gadgets in the city can be found in the shadow of the Granville Bridge at the Kids Market. So it’s little wonder, then, that the two most popular toy stores in the city are both located under the rainbow.
Kaboodles Toy Store and the Granville Island Toy Co. tied for first place for Best Toy Store in Westender’s annual Best of the City readers’ poll. The two stores specialize in toys that will not only entertain, but educate and inspire.
In addition to standbys like Lego and Playmobil, both stores offer a wide selection of board games, puzzles, and science-themed toys. Little kids and big kids alike will have no trouble finding something to ignite their imagination, or at the very least, a fun way to enjoy a rainy afternoon.
