About

Toytown at 1754 Avenue Road in North York is a neighborhood toy store that serves families in the Bedford Park area with a solid, well-rounded selection of toys, games, and gifts. With a 4.6-star Google rating, it's a reliable stop for parents who want to shop locally rather than ordering everything online.

The store carries a broad range of products — building sets, dolls, action figures, art supplies, board games, outdoor toys, and plush animals. It's not as heavily curated as some of Toronto's boutique toy shops, which is actually a plus for families who want variety and choice. You'll find major brands alongside smaller independent makers.

The Avenue Road location in North York puts it in a residential area that's easy to reach by car, with street parking available. The store is stroller-accessible and organized in a way that lets kids browse at their own level. Staff are helpful for recommendations and can gift-wrap purchases, which saves time during birthday season.

Toytown works best for kids ages 2-12, with the strongest selection in the 4-10 range. Tweens may find some board games and building sets of interest, but the store skews younger overall. It's a good complement to the bigger North York attractions like Mel Lastman Square or the North York Central Library if you're spending a day in the area.

For families in North York and the surrounding neighborhoods, Toytown fills the role of the go-to local toy store that you can rely on year-round for quality selection and friendly service.
