Was fun to visit after spending the afternoon at Kid City. There were such fun toys. And they had some candies in there too! Loved it!

Amato’s Middletown is your Connecticut Go-To for premium model trains. While this is also a general toy store, I frequent it because of it’s model train section. There are different types of train stores out there. This one focuses on NEW trains and equipment mostly, and when I go there it is because I either want some of their good selection of Lionel Fastrack, LGB Brass G scale track, or some new model locomotive. They have hobby-grade G scale, HO, N and O gauge train sets. Their used equipment selection is very small however, so Amato’s is mainly the Go-To for new, nice stuff. I frequent this store 3 - 4 times per year, and it’s usually because I want a nice new train set. The staff is knowledgeable and nice, and where their customer service shines is where I once ran into trouble with an O gauge locomotive I bought there 3 months prior. I did not have the physical receipt, but they were able to look up the sale using my personal information. They let me exchange the bad locomotive for a new locomotive. This is an example of decent customer service so I enjoy supporting this wonderful local business.

Whether a child likes all things pink, really fast race cars or anything in between Amato’s never fails to help you bring the smile to their face.

Paradise for children! This is a gorgeous, traditional store that will make you spend way more than you planned. And you won’t even regret it, it is a great experience! The variety of toys, old fashion and new toys, is amazing. I absolutely love that they have a book room, also a huge basement with many rooms and various and creative display where trains fly on tracks. I definitely noticed that all the kids visiting that day, including my own, were in awe.
