Your kids will beg for a visit to Henry Bear's Park, which takes its its name from David McPhail's classic title of the same name. Large storefront windows beckon children to sneak a peek at the fun inside, where you'll find a large selection of Playmobil, Lego and Brio toys. Fortunately for kids, there are lots of "test drive" opportunities; kids can play with a Brio train set, maneuver some remote control Rokenbok vehicles, or pound a hammer to create some basic Brio cars and trucks.
For those who walk on the more glamorous side, Henry Bear's has a wide selection of dress-up clothes. Girl choices figure prominently, but the store makes a good attempt at offering boys more than a police hat and badge. Infants are not overlooked. There is a good selection of first toys for the littlest in the group.
You'll also find children's books, games, puzzles, and other goodies to keep the kids happy. If you don't want to break the bank but promised to buy them something, you'll find reasonably priced gizmos in the bins around the cash register.
The store provides free gift wrapping, and any purchases made between 5pm-7pm on Thursdays are 10% off. A Frequent Buyer Program is available as well.
