Shenanigans Toy Store

Good: Step into Shenanigans and you step back into a special childhood world of magic,color, sound, learning and most importantly imagination. The toys are exceptionally designed and well made. Some purchases I made there 30 years ago still are beloved play things.. Bad: Many people might consider the prices on the high side, but the quality, design and uniqueness of the toys make them an exceptional value. For example, some of the dolls and stuffed animals sold 30 years ago have become collectible and appreciated. A discriminating eye will feel the store is packed with good values.. Improvements: The store itself is a happy dream. However Barracks Road Shopping Center parking can occasionally be challenging, especially during the holiday season or big events at next door University of Virginia.. Other: Allow plenty of time to explore when you go.. more

Shenanigans is one of those toy stores that children and adults alike adore. Filled floor to rafters with the highest quality, most unique, and most engaging playthings, Shenanigans should be on every toy lover's stop. In addition to the amazing selection of goods (fairys to trains to musical instruments to science kits) is the very clued-in staff. Well-briefed on the store's offerings, every staff member is able to come up with a number of suggestions for the perfect birthday or holiday gift. It's a wonderful change of pace from the blank stares one would normally receive in asking for suggestions at a national chain. Browsing is rewarding as well. Every corner is jam-packed with the best of classic toys well all remember from childhood and the best of the new stuff, too. Shenanigans is a worthy destination to find quality amusements for every child. more
