Toys Et Cetera, Chicago Review

I use to buy toys and items for children and now I am frequently at the store for my granddaughter. A Hyde Park institution. All kinds of toys and items for all ages and at all price levels.

You have to experience this toy store or should I say more than a toy store its an experience! Customer service is fantastic , the staff demonstrating the toys were amazing you just feel good walking in and feel good walking out !

What a great place. They were so kind and friendly. They have a big selection of the giant LEGO sets and lots of cool toys I had never seen before. I wouldn t hesitate to bring a child in here. There are plenty of low to moderate priced small toys and books in the front of the store to take home as a treat. My favorite is the rack of mini activity books. I think they were $1.50 each.

Great variety of toys and games. The employees are super friendly and helpful.

Nice shop kids will love it,Older lady maybe owner gave me the "Hurry up and buy" type of vibe. I can't make that up.

Phenomenal place with a really wonderful staff. Super helpful, very passionate about giving great gifts, with a humongous selection, toys to the ceiling, but all very organized. The staff knows the distinctions between all the toys very well. The gift wrap! Hanukkah, Christmas, and general purpose gift wrap paper. It's awesome all around.

Great staff! They know all the toys and games and can explain it all. Good place to go for suggestions for birthday gifts for kids. Quality toys, wide variety to choose from. Everything form puzzles to stuffed animals, from books to dollhouses to legos and stem and science based toys.

Good variety of toys, I'm sure your kids will like this place

Sure this place is no mega toy store, are there even mega toys stores around anymore, but I always manage to find great toys for my kids that Toys R us doesn't have.

Awesome selection of unique board games as well as classics. Legos and Thomas the train, plus other popular toys abound. Plus plenty of learning based toys.

Sure you could drive to a big chain toy store or target and save a dollar or two, but if you live around the south side you lose the savings in time and gas. Plus you get to support an independent locally owned store by shopping here. How cool is that.
