Smyths Toys & Computer Games

Oooh I feel like such a kid when I enter this place. I want to play with everything lol. I love this place

As it’s coming up to Christmas, thoughts of parents all over the world are turning in a rather frantic fashion to toy stores. And for most parents in Cork, that toy store will inevitably be Smyth’s. It can be quite a challenge to get through the generally expansive aisles of Cork’s biggest and best toy shop at Christmas, as the swarms of parents desperately grabbing their beloved’s most wanted from its lofty shelves can lead to serious arguments over the last Baby Bear or Robbie Robot. However, it’s also a testament to this impressive giant of toy storage that this is the scene of all these pre-​Christmas fights. Everything from traditional rocking horses through the full range of modern toy guns, dolls, board games, teddy bears and electronic gadgets to this year’s Christmas must-​have is stocked by Smyth’s — but they don’t tend to exploit their position at the top of the market by over-​inflating their prices, as they’re still competitively priced. If it’s a present for a child — or even a fun-​loving, young-​thinking adult — you’re looking for, Smyth’s is where you’ll find it.
