Ok honestly, the toys here are fantastic!! I love looking around and I went there with a friend and we looked around for hours and hours. There are just so many unique things in there. The only complaint that I have about that place is that is is WAY to cluttered and that things in there way just SO overpriced. I mean, a little penguin toy (plastic, totally 25 cents material) was literally $3.95. That is ridiculous. Everything in there is highly overpriced. The only reason why I go is that is there are just neat things to look at. Buying? Nah.

They have a lot of neat toys!! Pretty different than your regular Toys r us. Spent lots of time looking around and playing with some toys... Worth checking out!

Pros: lots of neat toys

Cons: so many things to look at.. so little time.

This is one of the first places I was taken to years ago when I visited Austin... it's a must... there is always so much fun stuff... I think it's more for the older "kiddies"... they have everything from cute jewlery to decorative lamps... WOW!

I went to Toy Joy for the first time, just looking around but I found that "looking around" in Toy Joy means at least two hours of your time (and it's all enjoyable). The second time I went I was shopping for a gift but this also took about two hours, I wanted everything. I spend 15 minutes making sure I have seen every purse when I finally pick I make 5-10 more trips back to make sure there isn't something better. This store is good for all ages my mother went in there amazed along with my grandmother. I have only been to Toy Joy two times but know it is the best you can find anything you want. I rate this store over all a 10!

Pros: Selection, Unique, Display

Cons: Expensive, Boxes on ground, Security
