Toy B Ville - Downtown Petaluma

OMG - This place is freaking awesome! I went there to get a good quality yo-yo for my son (only place in the county with actual good quality yo-yos) and was blown away. They have the most toys I have ever seen in a toy store. They also have a ton of stuff for grown-ups... puzzles, model kits, gag gifts, i couldn't even take it all in in one visit. If you get a chance, stop by here, this place is amazing.

Nice, local toy store with lots to choose from and very helpful staff. It is also neat and easy to find what you are looking for.

Awesome toy store! My daughter needed to get a gift for her best friends birthday. This store is kid heaven. Amazing selection and great customer service! I was tempted for my daughter and I to go the easier route and just find something on Amazon - so glad we didn't!

The best choice in Petaluma for shopping for a wide variety of toys for children of all ages. You'll find cute little toys for babies and toddlers, art and science-type toys for 7-12 year olds, dolls, stuffed animals, puzzles and basic games like Scrabble, Chess, Sorry, Checkers, Boggle, Monopoly, etc. What you won't find here is a wide selection of the latest, more complex games for adults. The choice is much more limited than you might find at, say, the great game store in San Rafael, but if you're looking for one of the classic games (like Parcheesi) chances are good you'll find it at Toy B Ville. The new location downtown is in one of the historic brick buildings - kind of neat, very spacious and well laid-out. Water Street is the best parking choice, if you can get a spot, because it's right behind the building. Otherwise you'll need to park up above near the Bank of America or below in the big grocery store parking lot across the river. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. A restroom is thoughtfully provided at this location. If we could make one suggestion, we would ask the owners to consider not selling toy guns of any kind. They have some cowboy-style toy guns which, given the number of fatal accidents involving kids and guns, do not give us a warm feeling while shopping there. We'd ask Toy B Ville to adopt a no-guns policy and offer alternative toys that could never risk a child's safety or prompt dangerous behaviors. We give Toy B Ville 4 stars for friendly staff, neat location, and a good variety of toys. A great place to shop for children, if not ideal for older gamers.
