    A nice Czech old style toy store. It's easy to miss and walk past, but you shouldn't. It has many wooden toys that have a warm and authentic feel. It feels like such a stark contrast to most toys nowadays and reminds me of the simplicity that toys used to have and encourages imagination and joy. It's nice to have a look around. The shop employee was a kind man.

    Great toy shop! We wandered in and played around with the toys for a while before making a purchase. The salesperson was super chill and didn’t pressure us at all. She was really nice and patient. Prices are also reasonable. Although it’s a small shop, I highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area.

    Nostalgic, lovely toy shop with a very helpful and amazing lady who is super knowledgeable and fun to chat with. I had forgotten a bag of toys that I bought and she walked 20 mins in the snow to find me and bring me my shopping bag. I don't remember her name but she was so sweet!

    If you expect ToysЯus, then this is not that place. This small place is the real authentic czech toy shop with hand made toys like they have been made for cenuties. It also has some simpler today staff but it's definetly does not interfere with the experience. I dare to think that I met the owner there, and he was so nice and welcoming! Very pleasant place, don't miss.

    Here from Canada and we made a trip to the shop while visiting the castle because we heard how special it was. It did not disappoint. The shop is a wonderful mixture of toys, and we found some unexpected gems. The owner was a joy to talk to, knowledgeable and passionate. The prices are very fair. Don't expect to find typical modern plastic toys here.

    Go out of the way to discover the best toy shop in Prague. The owner is not just selling toys, he is passionate about every toy and every customer. Took time to show how every toy worked and explain how it was made. Prices were much lower than central Prague. Experience was much greater.

    I'm very happy that I could find this shop. The quality of the toys look great and the man working there was very helpful.

    A magical place. The shop owner was so patient and welcoming. He told us stories behind the toys and even showed us how to use them. This shop is a jem. The prices are very reasonable but of great quality. Everything was so cute and I wanted to buy them all... :P they are really special souvenirs with stories behind each of them.

    I sought this store out while in Prague because of the online reviews, which indicated I would be able to find olde fashioned toys for my children. I was not disappointed. The store space is small but densely stocked with toys into which a lot of care has clearly been taken to select all the items with such limited room for display. The shopkeeper was knowledgeable and helpful when asked for assistance, but not pushy or in a hurry to make a sale. I like this in a store. The hard thing was making choices for what toys to get to fit in my very limited luggage space. The prices were reasonable and the number of antique style wind-up toys made entirely out of metal is impressive. The quality level is high. Lots of high quality wooden toys, too. Very little, if anything, made of plastic. Lots of 'Pauli', the mole well-known from ca. 1960s Czeck animations. I ended up with quite a lot of things. The shopkeeper took her time, unpacking and testing each wind-up toy and showing me the wind-up key was included in the box. She was so nice. I did not know it until I got back to my hotel room, but she had also included illustrated paper gift sack in which each toy could be presented. It was like an extra special touch that made me love the place even more. I wish we had a shop like this where I live. I would be there every birthday and Christmas for my children. Instead, I had to stock up for the coming year! Highly recommend this store if you like vintage toys.

    Small but a shop with unique Czech collection. Well worth the travel up the hill. Very helpful young lady who was very good with demos and explanations. Very very non touristy, hence highly recommended. Collection includes unique wooden toys, dolls and very special antique type winding vehicles.
