My husband and I were drawn into Twirl because it looked like a cool place. We don't have kids, but we both enjoy skill toys and are kids at heart. They have an amazing collection of toys and a great playspace. We enjoyed playing the instruments in the courtyard. If you have kids you must visit and let them play. More

This was a great find. As owners of a toy store in Dallas, we tend to always check out the local specialty toy stores when on vacation and this one was a fabulous find. Looking at the product mix, you can tell the owner(s?) spend time and effort picking out stuff for their store. The have the typical specialty toy... More

room to let little people burn off energy in a fenced off outdoor space. A great little toy store. Now, if they would just put in an outdoor wine bar..... More

This is a toy store that has something for every age. Every shelf is stocked with items familiar and unique. There are activities that can be signed up for. We had many minutes of delight in visiting the store. More

Fun atmosphere inside with indoor koi pond, waterfall, large train set, and other hands-on toys. Even more fun atmosphere outside with large play structure, treehouse, and musical instruments. I would recommend the large indoor upstairs playroom with self-serve coffee bar. Our two young children did not want to leave either day we visited. Just FYI, the staff requests a $2... More

Twirl is not just a toy store. While it has amazing, creative and educational toys that are different from the run of the mill ones you see at Toys R Us, it has much more. They offer free craft workshops and a fun outdoor play space, open to the public for free. Inside, there is a very nice train table... More

Thank you so much for a) finding us, b) liking us, and c) writing about us!! We appreciate it very much. As a small, independent toy store, it can be a challenge to keep all our prices competitive with some of the bigger retailers, but we do try our very best. We are always on the look out for quality... More

Twirl is incredible. It is first of all a toy store with a nice selection of hard to find toys. The toys are pricey but that is because they are well-made and not cheapy. Twirl is secondly a playspace. The outdoor play area is amazing. There are multiple slides and climbing objects, musical instruments, a sandbox, treehouse, rolling toys, and... More
