Smyths Toys

This independent toy retailer has 2 outlets in Belfast and is the stuff of every child’s dream. They’re called super stores for a reason — they are vast spaces filled with everything a boy or girl from babyhood to teens could possibly want. And probably quite a lot of stuff they don’t even know they want until they see it.
You name it and you’ll find it in Smyths — electronics and games consoles, educational toys like jigsaws, lego, dolls, playhouses and kitchens, guns, dressing up costumes, cars, Barbie and rows and rows of soft toy animals looking for a home with big sad eyes.
My favourite aisle is the one filled with board games. All the old favourites and the new inventions are there. Really traditional games like Cluedo, Monopoly and Charades, all of which we own and enjoy. Newer games like Deal or No Deal (complete with Noël Edmund’s voice on the phone), Hullaballoo and Don’t Wake Dad have all been bought in Smyths recently and are all good fun for a family night in.
Smyths staff are knowledgeable and helpful, even when things are manic at Christmas. You could believe they feel your pain when you just cannot get your hands on a lego police station or Nintendo Wii. There is a good online reservation system which promises you a £7 voucher if your item has gone by the time you get to the store as they don’t actually set it aside for you. Clever idea.

I love smyths toy store. A lot of people havent heard of it as it is not as big as toys r us but i find it as good f not better. This store as most are nice and big easy to get a buggy round and lots of good offers to be found. Staff are friendly and helpful. Great range of toys and baby things stocked here including buggys.
