Geppetto's Toy Box

Gepetto’s Toy Box is a gem from the moment you walk in! The warm and inviting atmosphere makes you feel right at home, and it’s clear a lot of thought has gone into the layout and merchandising. Every display is perfectly set up, making it easy and enjoyable to browse their incredible selection. From classic toys to unique finds, they have something for every age, and you can feel the care they put into choosing quality products. It’s not just a toy store; it’s an experience, set in a vibrant neighborhood that’s fun to explore. Highly recommend stopping by — it’s a delight for both kids and adults!

Great atmosphere and helpful staff, Geppetto's is a great local business to try when searching for a gift for someone you love. They kindly sponsored Fenwick's Moby Dick readathon this year, and the staff was incredibly helpful and kind during the process. They carry games and toys for all ages, and it's always a joy to stop by!

I am an Oak Park Resident and have shopped in the store numerous time. Really great shop. I purchased a Ravensburger puzzle for my granddaughter for Christmas. It was a three part puzzle, and as we were trying to assemble it, two of the puzzles were missing one piece each. I attempted to exchange the puzzle on 01.05.25. I had the original wrapping which included the store pricing and bar code. I did not have the original receipt, but I was able to call up my charge transaction. I was told that without my original receipt, there was nothing that could be done. There were two young ladies working behind the counter. I said that was poor customer service. I did not want my money back, I just wanted a complete puzzle. The store must have a relationship with the vendor, who should honor their products. I asked for the managers name, and they said they were the managers. There would be no customer service without a store receipt, regardless of the packaging. I still think that that is poor policy, with the store not standing behind its' inventory. I said okay, I am not shooting the messenger, and I get you don't dictate store policy, but to the other gal I said "your attitude and how you speak to customers is quite snotty". Her response was "Thank you very much". That is your manager and the representative of the store?

This store was so the perfect place to find a gift for someone. They have affordable prices, and they do gift wrapping for free! The staff was very nice. They also have a wall of calico critters and jellycat plushies! Love to return to this place.

Visited once in the summer & have been meaning to come again. Finally got the chance this weekend and unfortunately they didn’t have the pens I was looking for, but I was able to get some other secret santa gifts. Cool selection, some things overpriced but the store can only do so much about that lol. What I found odd was that the woman in front of me was asked if she had a number for rewards, if she needed a gift receipt, and then another employee asked if she needed anything wrapped. When it came to my turn I wasn’t asked any of these?? I actually would’ve liked them wrapped but they seemed busy and I wasn’t about to pester them if they didn’t offer. Did they assume I was just buying them for myself?? I mean.. that would be the case any other time, but in this instance it was actually for a doctor that is much older than me haha. Made me feel kinda weird but Idk lol.

I went to a number of specialty toy stores in Chicago and this was hands-down my favorite. Huge selection, well organized, and they provided a variety for all ages. Great game selection, beautiful books and interesting brands I didn't see anywhere else!

Great place to pop in and take the kids. Picked up a couple of new games for our family game nights. Will be back!

Great local toy store. Has lots of board games, Legos, action figures, plushes, and all sorts of other fun things that make this place a kids dream. Would recommend.
