They offered to wrap it at checkout and even had dinosaur wrapping which was perfect. My gift was a hit and I would recommend this shop to anyone!

This toy store is a true gem! They carry toys that have play value; so important to a child’s mental, physical, and emotional development. You can tell the people who work here love what they do!
