Geppetto’s Workshop

Gepettos Workshop is an oasis of toys, colour and fun. There are incredible puppets hanging from the ceiling, wooden trains curving around shelves and all manner of exciting games and trinkets decorating every bit of space.
It is great for children and parents will be hard spent to get their kids out without being convinced to buy something. The store specializes in toys that don’t use batteries as they would rather kids make the sounds and use their imaginations. I reckon this is a really cool philosophy for a toyshop to have and I wish I were young enough to put their toys to good use.
Perhaps my favourite items they sell are the Doll Houses. They are so elaborate and detailed with everything from carpeted staircases to windowsills and architraves. They are absolutely gorgeous.
They are open every single day of the year from 10am to 5pm with the exception of Christmas day and the staff are always very welcoming. They accept cash, eftpos and visa and have the option of lay-​by (which is just as well because some toys are pretty expensive)!
Overall they are really fun stores that have been built with a lot of love and they really stand out from the little rooms full of plastic that are our modern toy stores. It’s a fantastic little haven for the young and the old.
