Owner Grace is a crook & unethical. Don t shop here. I use to work here when I was a college student at Howard University in 2014-2015. I was a key holder for Grace and worked so hard because I was happy to support a small and Black owned business. Tugooh toys wasn t doing so great and instead of admitting that she couldn t afford to pay me anymore, Grace created a whole story and accused me of stealing money from the register. I asked for countless proof of this allegation, and Grace wouldn t give it to me. She said if she did she would report it to the police (give the police the evidence and not show me) and I wouldn t get my last pay check until after an investigation. I told her cool, do that then. Instead, she created further lies and tried to convince me to take my last pay check and go our separate ways (I was heading home for the summer). I never got that last paycheck, she never showed any proof of me stealing (there wasn t any) and Grace essentially stole over $600 in wages from me. Don t shop here, she s also very anti-Black American as she is not from here and has made countless racist remarks against the Black American community. She did the same thing to another employee (lied about catching them stealing and then fired them) instead of just admitting that her business was slow and she had to lay us off.

Well-curated little toy store with a friendly staff. Easily found something for the little one. If you are looking to buy toys from a store and not from a website or big box department store, this is your place. Especially good for high quality toys for young and elementary school age children (0-8).

It is the best toy store I have been to in a while, was hard to get my 2 year old son out. They have a good selection of high end toys made in Europe and USA!, did I mention Eco-friendly too! The store is well curated with tons of toys on the floor for kids to play with. Staff extremely knowledgeable and helpful.

If you want to pay double, literally DOUBLE the price for toys, then shop here. I bought a Monopoly Game yesterday for $34 and realized when I got home that the exact same game was $17 on Target. Same with the LOL doll - $24 at this store and $12 at Target. This is unacceptable price gouging and shady business behavior. Even if you have to pay a Georgetown rents, that shouldn t give you the right to manipulate parents and kids to the tune of doubling prices! I usually go to Sullivan s and went here specifically to try to support a small business, but will never go back. If you want to support local, Sullivan s is a much better option - polite staff, better selection, and much more reasonable prices.

Tugooh Toys is one of the few toy shops in the Georgetown area. It's a small shop off of M Street, but they make good use of the space. They sell stuffed animals of all sizes, games, costumes, etc. My toddler loved visiting because they have a kid doctor's office and a kid's grocery store set up!
