Toy Lab

★★★★★

“We took our 3 year old into the toy lab and she played for an hour! She ended up bringing home the game operation. And it’s by far her favorite toy, even after 4 months of playing with it. The owner is extremely friendly and created us with a smile. He encouraged my daughter to play hands on with all the toys.”

“Very cool old school toy shop that you just don't see very often anymore. We brought our sons in so that they could pick some toys out for themselves, and they had a tough time making a choice! There's a really good selection of toys that aren't like what you'll find in box box stores like Target or Walmart. I'd say most items skew a bit younger (maybe best for 3-8 year olds), but there are some science kits and arts and crafts that could be great for older kids too. Definitely worth a visit just for the nostalgia of being in a shop devoted to being a kid.”

“We had an absolutely amazing time at Toy Lab in Sarasota! It was a fantastic experience for both kids and adults alike. The moment we entered the store, we were greeted with a wide array of toys and games that sparked our curiosity and creativity. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to assist us in finding the perfect toy for our little ones. What made our visit even more special was the opportunity to create memories and capture them on our TikTok account, @floridarealtyguy. Toy Lab provided a fun and interactive environment where our kids could explore, play, and let their imaginations run wild. We highly recommend visiting Toy Lab with your children. It's a place where fun, learning, and creativity come together. Thank you, Toy Lab, for providing such a memorable experience!”

“It had some cool stuff but way overpriced and you can get the same things elsewhere for a lot less. Edit. Wish I could respond to the owners comment. I do appreciate the nostalgia of a toy store. I just wish there were more items that were older toy store items. Also the lady at the counter did not seem like she wanted to be there. I would expect someone who loves smiling and talking to kids. It felt not so warm. I do also understand about the prices of the economy and keeping mom and pop open. I would rather pay higher prices for items that bring me back to my younger happier times, than the plastic modern day toys. My rating wasn't too hurt anyone, just wasn't what I expected.”
