Shopping for gifts during the holidays can be a hassle, especially with everyone going to the same big box stores, crowding up the place. With the holiday shopping season in full swing, we thought we’d take a moment to highlight a few local toy stores worth checking out when shopping for the little ones, so you can avoid the craziness of the big box stores while still finding the right toy.
Doll Hospital & Toy Soldier Shop
Located in Berkley, Doll Hospital & Toy Soldier Shop is where you can find not only dolls and toy soldiers but tons and tons of other great children’s toys. Need a toy restored? Doll Hospital can do that. Looking for an outdoor playset or trampoline? Doll Hospital has that. For the LEGO enthusiasts, Doll Hospital has so many different sets of LEGO, it takes up 28 feet of wall space. With so many toys in one place, you might end up feeling like a kid again yourself.
