Rarely does a toy store make it onto an activity list, but this is more than just your average toy store. It’s a mecca for activity. We had to pry my son away from the joint after two hours of play. The store does contain hundreds of incredible toys, puzzles and crafts, but the real gold is in Twirl’s backyard. There is an outdoor play area filled with equipment. There is also an upstairs playroom that is open for free drop-in play with furnishings, tea or coffee, a toy library and loads of games and activities. A suggested donation box is located in the outdoor play area to help keep this magnificent phenomenon going for future generations of children. Throughout the week are a variety of kids arts and crafts activities, yoga classes, music days and more. The store is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily.
