Best Brighton Toy Stores

Imagine this: you turn away to cook dinner and boom your kids toys are scattered throughout the living room. You tried getting them to pick up, but are tired of arguing with them so you negotiate. You get them to agree that they will pick up and you’ll take them to get a toy at the best toy store in town. Twenty minutes later, they come darting into the room exclaiming that they cleaned up and that they’re ready to go to the store. You’re surprised that it happened so quickly—you haven’t even been able to look into what stores have fun and unique toys like you planned. Target it is…again. 

While stores like Target, Walmart, and even Amazon often have a satisfactory selection of toys for the kiddos to choose from, surprising them with a trip to an exclusive toy store would make them extra happy. Not to mention, a toy store doesn’t give them the opportunity to beg you for random things like dog toys. But, where do you start? 

Good news! I’ve done some research and found a few of the best-rated Brighton toy stores. If you’re in or around the area, these are definitely worth a visit. Toy stores can even be fun for us moms, too.

tinkrLAB

This store is a short thirty minute drive to East Lansing and it is totally worth it. tinkrLAB is a store with a huge selection of toys and games for kids of all ages. Even the shopping experience is a gift itself. There is a wide variety of craft toys or creative STEM toys. It is incredible the things you are able to find here.

You can shop in-store and online, and each experience offers plenty of products, including toys and crafts and incredible STEM based products. tinkrLAB also has a childcare and pre-k center so you children can learn and grown through STEM. Order on their website or stop by and shop in-store with the kids. tinkrLAB provides a super fun shopping experience for all its customers. 

Once Upon A Child

If you’re looking for a more sustainable option, you can find a large selection of previously-loved and new toys at Once Upon A Child. Once Upon A Child is a franchise associated with Plato’s Closet that buys and sells children’s clothing, toys, and baby gear.

Instead of opting for a brand-new monster truck, take a look at the various used items at Once Upon A Child. Most of their selection is like new, and they’re giving back to the community by recycling the things that all of our babies grow out of too quickly. Not to mention, you can sell any items that your kids have outgrown and help stay eco-friendly. Once Upon A Child sells toys up to 70 percent off regular retail prices—it’d be silly to overlook this one. You never know, they could have the exact toy your baby has been asking for all year, and for a fraction of the price. Check them out online!

The Rocket Gifts, Toys, and Candy

The Rocket is one of the most fun shops around. They have a variety of items, and you can typically find any obscure or interesting trinket at The Rocket. Children love this store, especially because of the selection of toys and retro candy. 

The store offers a wide range of toys, from slinkies to buildable robots. They also retail plenty of other things, such as bicycle gear and books. Stop by The Rocket on your next outing with your kids, and everyone will be sure to have a great time. You never know you may even find a treat for yourself or a friend while you’re at it! You can check out The Rocket online and get a taste of what you’ll find at the shop.

Summing It Up…

Toys are not always the easiest finds—especially when your kids are on the hunt for specific products. That said, take a look at a few of the toy stores in Brighton, Michigan, and I’m sure you’ll end up with some awesome finds.
