Description

Specialties

We specialize in both classic old-​fashioned toys, and never-​before-​seen modern toys, and we’re always getting fresh new things. We have weird and awesome R/​C toys and trucks and cars. We have have a lot of girl-​y cute animals, dolls, and dress-​up. We have a lot of wooden and metal toys (and a fair amount of plastic). We have «green» toys, toys made in the USA, and cute/​weird Japanese imports. We have a huge amount of cute, high-​quality stuffed animals, and a great variety of games and puzzles.

Mostly, what we have is variety, quality, and constant change. Some of it’s very high-​end, a lot is right in the middle, and we have plenty of cheap toys and trinkets for kids with only pocket money. And: screaming flying monkeys. Screaming Flying Monkeys!

History

Established in 1999.

We have over a decade of rigorous product testing experience (i.e., playing with toys!)

This is a great toy store. They have a nice small selection of Japanese Animé characters and lots of fun quirky toys for all ages. I highly recommend. So much better than the” toys r us” selection.

This is a treasure trove of wonderful items! I got great advice about buying gifts for my newborn grandson. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. I’ll certainly be spoiling my grandson with toys from here!

This is an adorable toy store and one of the few in the area. They have quality toys that you can’t find I’m big box stores! We love supporting local businesses but some of the prices can be hard to swallow if you know what those toys go for online.
The store is in a great location and worth a visit.

A great place to have fun all the time. Located in the heart of historic downtown, this independently owned toy store has all the coolest stuff so you can buy happiness. This is the perfect place to shop for birthday parties, or for your kids’ birthdays, or for new babies or for lighthearted but intelligent gifts for your friends and yourself. They also offer a charming selection of greeting cards, science kits, Legos, books and more. You’ll never be disappointed and the staff makes excellent recommendations based on loves of children. A wonderful place for traveling moms and dads to take home a thoughtful and unique gift for the kids. You can find something in the store for a newborns to grandparents and you can feel good about giving anything you buy here. Open generous hours and staffed by the local owners.

On our last day of vacation, we were looking for a store that sold toys for kids and interesting gifts. I opened up my nifty Unilocal app and found Toy Lab just minutes from the restaurant where we were having lunch.
This place has everything from cute toys to gag gifts. It’s a must see if you are in Sarasota. I would love to return to see what else they have as we had very little time left before our flight that day.
The store clerk was friendly and helpful in finding some gifts for us.

LOVE this store! They have such unique toys & toys that I used as a kid. It’s nice to reminisce. Be prepared to spend some time in the store so you can look at every nook & cranny as not to miss something special!

I love the toy lab. Before I moved to Florida, as a kid, I would insist on coming here and getting something. Their toys are so unique and different from most chain toy stores. If you want to get your kids something different than what most kids will get, go here. I promise you won’t be disappointed with the amazing selection. I still go to Toy Lab on occasion to get some of my friends children a toy for Christmas or their birthday.

Excellent little toy store with a unique & exciting selection. Kudos to the owners/​manager as it’s the ultimate independent store for the downtown area. The name describes it perfectly. I love this store!

Fantastic little toy store with toys for kids of all ages. They sell squirrel underpants. What else could you possibly want from a toy store?

One of the coolest toy stores I’ve ever visited! Great selection for kids of all ages, and devoid of a lot of the mass produced cr*p you will find at the big box retailers. Among their vast selection — some really neat European toys that encourage creativity as opposed to Disneyesque group think. I asked them if they had a web site – they don’t! So, next time you are in SRQ and are strolling down Main Street make a stop into the independently owned Toy Lab! I do believe they ship anywhere.
