One Two Kangaroo Toys

This is such a fantastic store! The owner is a very kind man that is great about stocking quality toys my children absolutely love. I also feel good about supporting a local business. Definitely worth stopping in.

I don’t have any kids myself, but I wanted to pick up something for my friends’ daughter. They’re expecting their second child and I wanted to make sure the two-​year old girl had something that would make her feel special and could help her keep occupied.
I had no clue what kind of toy to get. I walked in and looked at some toys, but wasn’t sure if they were age-​appropriate.
The gentleman who was working there approached and asked me what age and price ranges I was interested in. I told him and he immediately walked over and grabbed the most amazing toy. It has little colored pegs which kids match to colored cards to make pretty designs. I immediately loved it and so did my friends’ daughter! It’s perfect to keep a high-​energy kid occupied.
The best part? The whole thing only took me about 15 minutes! Very fun, unique toys and phenomenal customer service. This will definitely be my go-​to for kids’ gifts!

For years I have preferred this venue for toys. It is a fascinating little shop in a fun location – Shirlington Village. I go in there with no idea what to get for my little relatives. The manager always knows what’s «in» for their age and invariably the child is surprised and happy with the gift. I suspect this store leads to my being their favorite aunty.

The toy store to go to! I have never failed to find what I was looking for. If it’s a hard-​to-​find item, or you need suggestions, just call the friendly owner — if he doesn’t have it, he will suggest where you can get it.

Neat little store, packed to the gills with toys. I bought some fun things here for my daughter. I’ll definitely go again since Toys R Us is kind of a sensory overload and typically doesn’t have what I’m looking for anyhow.

Super cute store, I LOVE Hape toys and other genuine, legit, old-​fashioned, quality toys. This is the place for that. The staff is knowledgable and friendly.
It got 4 stars because of the ambiguous hours. Google says it’s open at 9 am, most stores in that area open around 10−11… The girl at the restaurant next door said they open at 11:30… PLEASE POST YOUR HOURS ON YOUR STORE FRONT! My son was very upset that we had to turn away the first time we came (and we even tried to wait it out for an hour at the breakfast places in the area!!!)

Outstanding store. Doesn’t carry the things Toys R Us does, and for good reason. Packed in this little store are some of the coolest toys around. The owner is very helpful and will gladly assist you in making the best choice. He also attends a number of toy shows each year and always seems to bring back toys that are interesting, unique and often timeless. He doesn’t stock the mass market items so if that’s what you’re after, this is not the place to go. But if you’re interested in unique toys and outstanding customer service, and reasonable prices, this is the place to go.

Great little shop, and the guy that runs it is very knowledgeable. It’s an easy to miss place, so keep an eye out for it. It’s worth stopping in.

This adorable independent toy store is filled to the brim with high-​quality toys for kids of all ages, and will take you back in time. The owner is as nice as can be and helped me pick out some great toys since I have no idea what kids like these days. Yes, the prices are a couple dollars more than what you’ll pay in soulless big-​box store, but that’s a small price to pay for the personalized service and experience of shopping in top-​notch independent toy store.

We have been coming to this toy store for the last 13 years. The toy selection is amazing. The owner really knows his stuff, and can help you find a gift for a child of any age. Every time we came back he would ask how our son liked the toys, and he was always spot on in terms of matching the toy to our son’s interest. We feel like he helped us raise a smart, inquisitive kid :) … Our son is now in his last year of Middle School — and he is very interested in science and mathematics. Which is partially explained by the toys he played with: electrical circuits, science experiments, brain teaser games. We are very fortunate to have such a great store in the neighborhood .
PS — you can always count on your gifts to be nicely wrapped.

Really cute toy store. I dropped in here to buy a gift for a friend’s kid and ended up buying a whole lot of gifts for my nieces. The staff is friendly. Most things are reasonably priced. They have some really old school toys and it was very nostalgic. It was nice to see a wide array of selection. Do not get fooled by the exterior. Peek in and you won’t wanna get out.

Very good toys here and a very helpful and friendly guy behind the counter every time we’ve gone here. We asked for toys for grown-​ups (no, not ‘adult toys’) and he had complicated puzzles and Rubik’s cube type things, so we grabbed those. Dolls and doll houses and lots of other stuff to stir the imagination. Bit of tight squeeze for a wheelchair use, though…

I love this toy store. I was able to find unique gifts that weren’t «Made in China» They have a great selection of toys that also double as learning tools. I will be sad when I stop buying gifts for kids, but one never truly grows up, right?

It was a great store with tons of options including puzzles, games, and anything else kids could want. I will definitely be returning due to their great selection and excellent customer service. The owner himself helped me pick out my gifts.

Definitely shop here, this is the best toy store! They have a great selection for all ages. The staff is wonderful, very friendly and knowledgeable.

I think this would be a place to take your kids to and tell them that they can get whatever they want. It’s a small toy store with many creative toys and no video game. The way that I would describe this place is like a filtered down version of the internet where you put in parental control on what the kids can surf.
The owner was very friendly too.

One Two Kangaroo is one of the few real toy stores remaining. We still shop at Target and Toys ‘R Us when we need to get «the latest whatever» for a birthday present or as a reward because one of our kids actually did their homework or put their dirty clothes in the laundry basket.
We go to One Two Kangaroo when we want to find a good creative engaging toy.
The store itself is fairly small, which is its only downside. I can just imagine the sort of stock they could keep if they had twice the space. They tend to have a good selection of Playmobil, and high quality car, heavy equipment and aircraft miniatures. And a huge selection of «creative» toys — drawing, painting, building…
It’s in a nice location as well, with lots of restaurants, a coffee shop, and the public library near by, so its a nice destination (much more pleasant than the megaplex mall…)

One Two Kangaroo Toys is a toy store for kids and adults of all ages, ranging from items for babies just born, to items such as road trip bingo and the Rubik’s cube for adults.
I would recommend this toy store for the person who doesn’t want to have to roam through thousands of toys to find the right toy, for someone who likes unique and creative toys that aren’t in the mainstream/​chain stores, and for anyone seeking organic toys (they have a great selection for babies/​kids that are still at the age where they put everything in their mouth), and anyone who enjoys top notch customer service.
My husband and I don’t have kids so we’re not too familiar with what the kids are liking these days, and the knowledgeable owner is really helpful with ideas and suggestions for our niece and little cousins. So far, everything he has suggested has been a hit with all the little ones.
I love that they have diverse toys as well — we were able to get a maraca/​instrument set with other Spanish instruments packaged together.
Whenever I’ve gone, it’s never too overly crowded and it’s merchandised well for the small space they have to work with.
You can tell the owner takes great quality and pride in the selection of the merchandise he carries. This is our go to store now for all our children’s/baby toy needs!

Very helpful staff
They only carry the top sellers for each brand
THink about Toys-R-Us…ok… this place is not like that at all.
Very attentive and in tune with customer needs.
They have some original oldies in there Like THe RUBIX CUbe
They have a little bit of everything in there from inexpensive to pricey stuff…
The Best of all is FREE WRAPPING… as in they neatly wrap the gifts for you! Awesome!

This is an excellent little toy store, particularly for simple ‘old’ toys (think 1950s-‘70s), although there are modern things mixed in also. The things in the shop are mostly for young kids — a few months to 8 years old or so – and the selection is wide for such a tiny place. It’s a small (have I mentioned that yet? ;-)), comfortably cluttered place, with a great old toy store feeling. This is my regular pilgrimage spot before buying any gifts for kids or when I just feel like a hint of nostalgia.
