Growing Tree Toys

Nice selection, if you don't mind the hassle of downtown.

Great customer service! Buy here and support a locally owned business that is truly part of the community.

Love this toy store! Purchased the greatest gift for my sister s birthday and have gone back frequently since. Good service, nice selection.

Everyone was so helpful in this store!! They have everything from games and construction toys to easy-to-read books for kids. I was impressed with the variety and happy with their willingness to help me find an age-appropriate gift.

I always thought Growing Tree Toys only carried kids toys, but I was surprised to see they had something for everyone. They also have some of my favorite childhood toys (Socker Boppers anyone?). I highly recommend checking their store out if you are in the State College area and need to find a gift for someone!

We have always loved this store - they are a unique local store with some really amazing toys!
My recent experience was one that is worth telling about...
My daughter is about to turn 3 (during the covid-19 stay at home order) and all she wants for her birthday is a fancy pink princess dress. I message the company in the evening and the next morning I have several dresses in my inbox all very reasonably priced. After I picked the dresses we wanted, we were promptly invoiced and, get this, the owner delivered them right to our front door!

I am all about shopping local and I think this company shows how amazing it is to work with the people that are invested. We have NEVER ever experienced customer service like this. And as a mother, I am so grateful she helped to make our daughter s birthday wonderful.

This company has been a shining light through this very dark time in our community and I am just so thankful for their commitment to keeping our kiddos happy!

Wonderful service and free gift wrap!! We always stop here first to find unique toys for birthdays and other holidays.

Great toy store with lots of things you won't find at big chain stores. The selection for kids gets slimmer as you reach the 12 year age but that's probably the case with all toys at that age. Nice board game selection too!

Fun shop. Prices are a bit higher than online but its nice to browse and discover things there so worth paying a little more to support local.

Such an amazing variety of toys, games, science, magic, and Legos. Some of the items are a little more expensive than big-box retailers ... but generally competitive. A great store for children of all ages!

My kids loved it here over the years when they were younger and visited Penn State

Called to ask a question and was hung up on.
Then I called again and the girl was extremely rude. They have always been pleasant, buy this time was not the case. Guess I will have to go elsewhere for the gift.

Great selection of toys for learning and creativity.

Great toy store! Tons of Calico Critters, Playmobil and Hape toys. I took my daughter in and let her pick out a new toy and she was delighted.
