Kid’s World

Large variety of books, toys, puzzles and recently Russian Christmas ornaments. Definitely worth a stop by if you are in Brighton Beach and are looking for a unique Russian themed gift. As of December 2012 they do offer a Unilocal check-​in discount on purchases over $ 50.

AWESOME STORE! Went there couple of days ago to get some toys for my nephews birthday and it was like I experienced my childhood all over again, their selection is great. The prices are very reasonable and the staff was super friendly. Will definitely be coming back here in the future.

Ya lublu Detey Mira! I don’t even like kids (er? sorry…) and I loved this store! My friend and I took an adventure to Coney Island last week, and I insisted on making him walk to Brighton Beach (this seems like no big deal, since the two beaches are next to each other, but I got us lost on the way, of course…). I cannot describe how much I love Brighton Beach, and also how simultaneously intimidated I am to speak Russian to… well, actual Russian people. My accent is horrendous! But at least I could tell my friend what all the crazy toys in were inside of Detskiy Mir — my favourite being the «paint your own saint» wooden figures.
This place is amazing, seriously. It has something for everyone, from illustrated Chekov’ kids books to talking stuffed animals to the simple notebooks I purchased with Russian insignia on them. The staff is friendly if you understand Russian culture and customs (never hand your money to a Russian, just saying. Put it on the counter). I know my friend loved this place, and I cannot express properly in words how very happy it makes me to be in any kind of Russian store. Eta byla tak horosho! :D

Located next door to Starbucks in the heart of Little Russia by the Sea, Kid’s World (Detsky Mir in Russian) provides huge variety of toys, books, movies, cartoons, puzzles and educational games for kids of any age.
Reopened after renovation, Kid’s World is definitely worth visiting!
