An Austin original, Toy Joy has been keeping Austin fun since 1987. Known for it’s eclectic collection of fun, nostalgic and toys and gifts. Toy Joy has been serving locals and worldwide visitors for over 29 years. While we aren’t your typical children’s toy store, we carry a mind-boggling array of products appropriate for anyone, whether for a newborn or the kid-at-heart. With that in mind, we think of Toy Joy as a unique and exciting experience, not just a retail store.

Toy Joy happily a locally owned independent retailer! We’re proud to be curated and staffed by the best toy aficionados in the industry. Whether you’re a long time resident or just visiting Austin, we’d love for you to stop by, meet our family, and have as much fun as your heart desires. While our website can only feature so many products, our in-store inventory is constantly changing and expanding – so if there’s anything in particular you’re searching for (no matter how bizarre you think it is!) we’d be happy to try to find it for you.

Be sure and visit our other Austin stores… Wild About Music, Austin Rocks, and Yummi Joy

Toy Joy is one of the best toy stores around. It’s a small space but don’t be fooled because they have tons of cool merchandise. Lots of stuff but without feeling cramped, cluttered or unable to move about freely. Super comfortable.
Everything from Hello Kitty to Batman, Rick&Morty and everything in between.
There’s something for everyone at this shop: all age ranges from babies to adults.
The staff are so much fun and so knowledgeable.
We had the best time soaking it all in and playing.
Made several purchases and can’t wait to visit again.

Toy Joy holds a very special place in our hearts! We had our first date here and took engagement photos here a year later. We always enjoy our time here and stop by every chance we get!

Every single time we come here we find exactly what we are looking for! LOVE this place! I can’t walk out of there without finding some treasure I didn’t know how I lived without. My favorite part though are the people. So friendly. So many smiles and they talk to your children. Not at them. The staff engages with my son more than me, which I appreciate! We will always shop local when we can because of the service. Love you Toy Joy! #shopsmallbusiness

I think of all the places I went to on my last trip to Austin, this one might have been my favorite. There were so many little things to look at. And at least five MBMBaM references hidden around the store.

It’s true what they say-Toy Joy has every imaginable toy. We went out of our way to come here and see it for ourselves. This store will jump start your childhood memories and bring back all the toys/cartoons that you never knew you missed. Give it a try.

Even if you don’t have a kid, this store is so fun to walk around. I noticed the employees were all super friendly and helpful with trying to find the perfect gift for someone. They have literally anything you can think of. From vintage candy to white elephant gifts, games, stocking stuffers….this place is packed from floor to ceiling with fun toys.

*Return items within 10 days with receipt. All sale items are final.
