FR Review:
Mary Arnold Toys has supplied several generation of Upper East Siders with their first teddy bear, and remains a great place to shop for creative or inquisitive kids. Sure, they carry the latest crazes, but where they really excel is their stock of toys and games that "get the imaginative juices flowing." Porcelain tea sets, doctor kits, board games, wooden toys, play costumes, large Raggedy Anne dolls, Schoenhut's 18 Key My First Piano--they have it all. The shop itself is small and the aisles are narrow, but everything is highly organized. The staff know their wares and seem "genuinely happy" to assist in finding the perfect item. Prices are "markedly higher" than chain toy stores, but customers say that prices are "worthy of the selection and helpful staff." In operation since 1931, this UES staple knows a thing or two about keeping kids, and parents, happy.


Representative Client Comments:
"You will always find the help you need." "A great after-school destination." "I don't buy really in-demand items at Mary Arnold because they tend to sell out quickly and be overpriced, but it's my go-to for non-fad toys that my kids will pass down." "I bought my son's first Teddy Bear here." "So many board games!"
