Snapdoodle Toys & Games Seattle

I had a little kids Birthday party and I decided to check this store in my neighborhood out insted of going to target because I only had a few minutes, walked in and it looked cool but overwhelmed, I asked one of the cashiers where could I find anything animals toys or books since that was the birthday theme. She also looked clueless and said I dont know everything is by age. So, I Turn around and I see all the books infrint of he. I get ready to pay and the two cashiers are just there talking to each other and just ignore me and other customers. Finally I get their attention to pay, she asked if I had a membership I said no and I asked how do I get one, she said you only need it if you think you are gonna be coming back here. I told her that I woukd like to sing up. After she gave me my receipt I said thank you and she just rolled her eyes and turned around, in no moment I was ever rude to her. All the staff at that place lack knowledge of their work place and customers service. This review is for the owner. Train your workers that way you have a successful businesses. Now I know why this toy store almost closed down back a few yrs back. I think that next bday I will still make the long drive to Target, where they still give customers service and they are inviting. 2stars because the store looked kind of cool but not very organized and bad customers service i will not recommend to my family or friends.

I love this store! Best selection of toys in Seattle by far, really good for blind boxes too. Every time I go in the staff is so friendly, and the manager is super nice and helpful.

Locally owned with quality offerings and a fun atmosphere, Snapdoodle is a great local toy store with a wide variety of things for babies through adults. I was especially impressed with their games and stocking stuffer type items on my latest visit. Like the best game stores, employees can explain how to play the games to you and there's space to try the games out. The staff was fantastic on this visit... Friendly, though it was super busy, patient and helpful. One woman kept coming back and helping me find presents... She cut a lot of time off of my shopping! Thank you!

Great to Store but the Shamrock Parking Lords will literally give you a $65 parking ticket while your are in the store... Sad that their Sleazy parking lords drive their customers away. It's unfortunate but Snapdoodle Leases from Piper Village and they hire Shamrock Parking LLC to rip off and lie to their own customers. This is a problem that only the management of Snapdoodle and Piper Village have the responsibility to resolve by being faithful to their own community. I literally don't know how you could enter this store and reliably not get a ticket. Stay away from this place.

A toy wonderland for kids and adult alike! Lots of unique toys that you can’t find in other big box stores. Staffs are all super helpful and friendly. We spent almost two hours here and could easily have been longer if they weren’t closing.

Great toy store and salon, but the predatory practices of the company that manages their parking lot has made it difficult for me to want to return. If you park there, always save a receipt so you can dispute the bogus $65 parking ticket scam Shamrock is running.

What a great shop! They have everything - toys, games, kids haircuts??, and amazing staff. The thing that sets them apart aside from super friendly staff is the snap zone where you’re able to play some of their board and card games for free!

This place has so many amazing items! I like the variety and the options of toys. I saw things that arent in mainstream stores like Walmart or target. I will definitely come back.

This store has THE best customer service! I called and was helped by one very pleasant employee and then when it came time to place my order and get it shipped I spoke to Roland and he was also super helpful! He actually hand-delivered my order so it would get there!!! The quality of the toys is great, but where this store exceeded my expectations was the staff. I will be back!

They allow a scam parking company to operate their lot. Don't shop here or you will get hit with a bogus ticket.

I've gotten so many genuinely creative, fun, durable toys here for my nephew and for my friends' kids. Great selection, reasonably priced.

We loved the previous toy store, Top Ten Toys for all things baby, child and playful adult! The new owners have maintained the plethora of available options for play, upgraded seating and some of the sample toys, but the space seems more crowded and chaotic. They offer a pre-opening private shopping experience for you and your family (must call in for pre-reservation), which is a great, safer Covid option. Toys galore, you can get almost anything you wish at Snapdoodle.

I absolutely love taking my kids to this place. The selection of toys is amazing. There's also a kids' hair salon in the back, and the hairdressers are so good that my kids actually enjoy getting their haircut and sit still.

This is such a great store. They have a great variety of unique toys and books--you can find something for every kid here. The layout of the store is fantastic; it's well-organized and you can easily find items based on the child's interests/hobbies. The staff have always been very welcoming and helpful by answering questions/pointing me in the direction of some great items. We have also never felt pressured to make a purchase, and they have never made me feel bad about having two young kids running throughout the store touching everything and carrying stuffed animals with them that they don't intend on purchasing! We always have a positive experience when we come here.

I didn't like the service here. It felt extremely phony and the male store owner likes to lurk around everyone and make them uncomfortable. I'm not sure why. It's all very odd. I brought in my young cousin and we just felt really unwelcome the whole time. I wanted to support a small business, but you're better off going to Target or Fred Meyer. Also, reading what happened to Terri and her family in a past review absolutely makes me horrified. I hope they reached out to make things better, but something tells me they absolutely did not. How unfortunate.

This is a really wonderful locally owned shop, they took over the location from top 10 toys a few years ago. That place had been around since I was a little kid! Very grateful to have such a wonderful selection of great toys at a local shop like this.

Quality toys, knowledgeable staff for recommendations, efficient check-out. Parking lot can be a little cray cray, but hey, it's seattle.

Snapdoodle is a amazing toy store! I always find cute fun stuff! The staff and manager is AMAZING I find all the toys I need! The toys are high quality too! I see the staff are working very hard to keep the store safe and clean! The staff are very welcoming! I get great help if I need to find that perfect toy for me or someone else! I always come out with a smile on my face!

Snapdoodle does it again! I can't say enough great things about this store, their staff/management and the products they carry. They always go above and beyond in creating a special shopping experience for us and have the best recommendations for gifts. Highly recommend!

Love this toy store! The store is huge with tons of different options for kids of all ages. The staff is really nice and very kind to the kiddos. My favorite part is the complimentary wrapping station which is fun and convenient!

When the store was purchased and became Snapdoodle, they lost all there positive Yelp reviews - too bad. This is a great store. You can ask an associate for children's gift suggestions, like 9-year old girl into science and princesses and they will provide excellent suggestions. We NEED a brick and mortar toy store in Greenwood. Friendly tip - it is busy on the weekends with all the kids parties so you are likely to have a better experience weekdays or when they first open. Go toys!

In preparing for summer, we researched slack line and Ninja course items online. We found an amazing treehouse that installs using slack lines but it wasn't available online from various vendors. So when we went to Snapdoodle Toys for haircuts we were thrilled to see the exact product we wanted there! It had just arrived at the store and the staff helped us get one sent from the warehouse to the store in less than 1 hour. When we needed some advice on the installation the store manager, Roland, helped us sort through our issue. We couldn't be more thrilled for we love all the toys and the staff here!

Top Ten Toys in Greenwood was our family's favorite local toy store for 10+ years. My kids loved the gift-wrap and decoration station. They would have had a 5 Star Rating originally for sure. However, after the transition to Snapdoodle Toys and Games, it unfortunately has gone downhill in the past 2 years. The staff are less friendly, and are more distant and aloof. When seeing other families looking for gifts, I have actually been the one who would first recommend toy and game options INSTEAD OF THE STAFF! The final nail in the coffin was getting a parking fee during the recent Holiday Season. The store's parking area is run by a independent 3rd party company. This parking lot company takes advantage of the volume of customers, and hires a spotter to stand outside and scope out victims. Even after showing the receipt from my purchase to the parking attendant, he refused to cancel the fee. He said I could dispute it in writing, but you'll likely still have to pay a portion -- or else they will send it to collections. I spoke to the the Snapdoodle store manager, who apologized but said the store can't do anything. I left mentioning that the least the store could do is warn customers about the parking lot attendants. Especially when there is a wait to enter the store due to capacity restrictions. When prices are cheaper online for most toy and game items, a caring helpful environment is what brings us in-store. Sadly, I will now choose to support other local toy and game stores that can still do so.

Warm expansive interior, simple yet functionally designed. Lots of things to see: a variety of well known brands (LEGO etc) as well as a ton of things you just won't find at Target

Stopped by today to find that Snapdoodle has moved to online-only due to the COVID outbreak in Seattle. While I was there, I ran into the owner out front and exchanged a few words - he was extremely kind and provided excellent customer service. He was helpful and a very generous person. During this hard time, I'll be sure to order puzzles and games from him online - and I encourage everyone else to do the same! Awesome business that deserves our community's support this time!

During these Covid times, my young children wear masks and they social distance as much as possible. That being said, I was surprised when my daughter was grabbed, hit, hit in the face, held down and pushed off a toy by someone else's child. Shopping at this store isn't safe!!!! At a recent visit to the Seattle location on Greenwood, my 2 year old daughter found interest in a bouncy horse. Out of no where, this kid starts yelling at her from a distance and then speeds up to knock her off the horse saying that it was his, being very possessive over the store's toy. Not only did he knock her to the ground, he then held her in a choke hold with his arms and legs and held her down so she couldn't get up. It all happened so quickly and suddenly. I waited for the father to intervene and help, but it never came. I had to peel his son off my daughter so that she could get free. The father definitely didn't feel the need to act in a helpful way so I asked staff to ask them to leave the store because of the situation. This was definitely more than kids being kids. He was an older child who was overly aggressive and violent. There is such trauma from our experience!!!! I've shopped at this location since when it was Top Ten and then changed ownership and I'm completely disappointed and dissatisfied with the situation. I asked staff to ask him to leave and they brushed me off, saying that he's now in line and once he has paid then he'll leave the store. In my book, there's never a situation where violence is okay. There's especially never a situation where you should side with the person who has caused harm. Just another day right? A white male and his son causes physical and mental harm to a woman of color and her daughter(s). The white staff allows for the privileged man to continue shopping and to pay for his items. The family of color leaves the store empty handed (no birthday present) because they've just been through an ordeal that staffers condone.

Spent $99 on a set that was missing the instructions and stickers and called them to be told they didn't do returns with opened Lego and I'd need to contact the manufacturer directly. It wouldn't have been impossible or a hardship for them to stay open 5 more minutes so I could come exchange the box, but they were more interested in being done for the day. They also said a returned box would have to be put on the discount shelf, so I guess I'm the one who gets to pay full price and take the hit for a set missing instructions and who know what else. In the future, I'll skip the Snapdoodle middleman and buy from the manufacturer, since I'm going to need to reach out to them to get missing parts. This store doesn't measure up to the neighborhood - friendly store it replaced. I won't be shopping there again, and encourage you to consider whether you want to spend money at a store that really doesn't care if you get what you paid for.

Best selection. Friendly, helpful staff! Love going and looking around. Also play areas for kiddos.
