Best Toy Store With The Most Hopeful / Boastful Name

Kid Genius

Like our other favorite locally owned toy store, Over the Rainbow, this store sells good and wholesome toys, not just stuff that's a marketing extension of kids' TV shows. But every day Kid Genius also hosts a myriad of activities for children, too - from weekly infant play dates to preschool art sessions, story hours, and live music. Most events are free (or very cheap), making Kid Genius an economical destination as well.
