Peter Ph: Large inventory, very helpful staff, not inexpensive but worth it.

Bjorn: Quick service, lots of choices. Shop local, especially for toys.

Max Baxter: Great selection for the size of the place while avoiding feeling cramped, prices are competitive, staff is helpful and friendly, and their website is helpful for checking what's actually in stock. It's also refreshing to see a brick and mortar toy store that doesn't share 90% of their stock with other stores (like seasonal mall pop ups). Highly recommend coming by, these places deserve your business more than the competition.

H BT: Great selection. Everyone is so friendly.

Steph S: Great selection and a tad bigger than the Cambridge location but we don’t like the attitudes of the people in the Arlington location which seems to be a thing in Arlington itself for some reason. Won’t be going here anymore but we will go to the Cambridge one as their service is friendly over there

Lynne Caron: Always find something different from your average store. A bit pricey but i will say they have a great rewards program!!

Mark Wood: Great Toy Store in Brookline with a great selection of toys at a reasonable price. Plus it’s a small business.

Stephanie DiGiorgio: Gender reveal wizards! Thank you Henry Bears Park Brookline for helping with our little last minute gender reveal, I emailed them the results and they wrapped a gender appropriate gift for me to pick up and for us to unwrap as a family. Thank you so much for helping with the fun surprise!

Emily Heikamp: I visited this store with the intention of supporting a local small business. My toddler loves books and we began looking through their collection, and he requested to read one. Halfway into the first book, I was informed by the staff that there is a “two story maximum.” Otherwise, he explained, people would just sit there reading books all day. What a terrible thing to happen! I will not be visiting this store again. The public library, and Amazon for that matter, do not care how many books you read.

Daniel Levin: Amazing toy store

sheng zhang: Small store with good selection of toys. Double check the truck toy there. Some of them may miss some some pieces.

Erik Eklund: You are always assured to find something of interesting here. It's my go to place for birthday gifts. The best part is that it's small local and knows and caters it's clientele.

Aaron Geisel: Great overall selection of toys and games! I appreciate that the store is organized in a gender neutral manner, especially the baby toys. Expect to pay a bit more here than at a "big box" store, but a few dollars is worth it to support a local business. The staff are not constantly nagging you, but they're not always chipper either. Good location, near restaurants and other stores.

Bryce Powell: Awesome variety

Melissa J: Nice toy store, plenty of unique toys you wouldn't find at mass retailers. Prices are on the expensive side. Staff was ok, not overly friendly but not in your face. Good to go to if you need a unique gift.

Lil Lemonade Top Budgie: Amazing Staff!!!! Recommend this place!

Luanne Ford: Super friendly staff and very helpful, right in Brookline Village, a fun store to take the kids, ( and grownups). Definitely not a 'box' store and a thoughtful selection of toys and items for many ages. A great way to browse or maybe purchase something, kids there are always excited looking around....

Kerry Ledford: Great toy store with lots of new adventures awaiting!

Kortney Adams: Cute shop that has toys, puzzles, imaginative play stuff, and fun doodads for kids of all ages. And a knowledgeable staff that can help you find your way through it all, too. Prices are pretty reasonable for Brookline. Would definitely visit again.

Dr. Gustaf: Kids love the memories from years of visits.

Angie Lizeth Matamoros: Good toys offer.

Fernanda Stolzenbach: Excellent toys store

Blue Eyes: Very kind people there

Kobas Live-Studio 2006: Very Good Service

Wendee Barrios: I give them a 3 because the both times I gone there, the employees seem so dry. In there Instagram video they don’t seem that way, which is why I decided to take the drive to there store because I felt like they would able to help me. Never got acknowledgement. When I asked a question the answer was so dry. The store overall and clean and has all the needs

Peter Marston Jr: We came to Boston for a getaway weekend and as soon as we arrived at the hotel we realized I forgot the accessory that attaches to our stroller in order to have both our kids ride along in it. We searched online to find a stroller at a bunch of places and no one had any in stock. We found Tadpole on Clarendon street, we called them and they had them in stock. So we went there and bought a new Thule double side by side stroller. The staff put the new one together for us, had a bike pump to pump the tires up and they kept the stroller we had until the end of the day so we didnt have two strollers while we were wandering around Boston with a couple toddlers. They went above and beyond. Would certainly recommend!

Darya Shcherbakova: I love shopping at Tadpole. It’s my favorite children store in the Boston area. Ana, the owner of the shop, is very friendly and was very helpful and knowledgeable when we tried to figure out what preparation we needed to do at home for our first baby. Me and my husband both felt so lost and overwhelmed with the amount of information thrown online at soon to be parents, that it was very refreshing to talk to someone in flesh and wind down all the worries. Ana also explained everything there is to know about choosing safe car seats and addresses our needs. When the car seat was ordered, she kindly helped with the installation and took her time explaining how to use it. If you are looking for no nonsense help and stock of children’s goods check out the Tadpole.

Marlena Love: Thoughtful selection of baby necessities, kids gear, and toys. Fantastic customer service. A neighborhood gem!

Stacey Kraft: Tadpole is the most enjoyable children's store to shop in and by far my favorite store in the city! The staff is incredibly knowledgeable about all their products, they are incredibly thoughtful about the products they bring in. They do a fantastic job putting together gift baskets for baby showers and big birthdays! They are my go to for all things kids! They will not disappoint.

Harrison Bane: The ownership and staff has an incredible commitment to their community, it's actually unbelievable. Today, the owners spent OVER AN HOUR helping my wife install a ridiculously complicated carseat that we DIDN'T EVEN PURCHASE FROM THEM. In the 4 years of shopping with them, they have always maintained this same standard of service, bravo Tadpole!

Yael Kazaz: Had a really great experience with Tadpole. Bought several items as a gift to a friend, they were very helpful and friendly over the phone. The shipment arrived very fast. Would highly recommend this store, would definitely buy here again.

Justin Weyant: Wow amazing customer service during the lockdown! I had an order from a vendor delayed, and I needed some stroller accessories last minute for a doctor's appointment tomorrow. They answered all my questions (even though I'm a new dad and not good at explaining what I need.) The items were delivered, and we are all set just in time. Thank you so much!!!!

Margaret Bane: The best baby/kid/mama store around! So lucky to have this gem in the South End, these ladies are simply the BEST, so helpful and will always guide you in the right direction. Always my first stop before large retailers, always!!

Margaret Rankovic: Great place to buy the perfect gift ! All ages! Friendly helpful staff. Expert car seat installation.

Prica brandINcolor: Love having a local kids store. Warm and cozy!

margarita vallejo: Hermosos juguetes y accesorios para niños

Jennifer Englund: Great service and excellent selection

Kathryn Alexander: My favorite place in the city to find unique, adorable, and useful gifts for babies, toddlers and small children.

Robert Love: A South End institution.

Murray Smothers: Ohm, I have ALWAYS, ALWAYS loved Kid Robot. It basically embodies some major things I love--good design, quirkiness, and art, in the form of figurines and chainsaws. SOON basically being in a Kid robot store IRK was super exciting for me!!! It's fun to check out all the bizarre but awesome things so many artists end up creating and I think it represents so much of what HEIGHT is.Check it outta and bring money if you're like me and love these things....

Lindsey Sandell: My husband and I registered here last year when we were expecting our first child. We could not have had a better experience. Not only do they hand select the best items out there (allowing you to avoid being frustrated and overwhelmed at the big box stores), but the staff and owner is incredible and extremely knowledgeable. It continues to be such a great experience each time we shop there. We have also purchased gifts for others and they do a great job gift wrapping. Overall a great shop and one I would strongly recommend for baby gifts or for your own registry.

Emily Winer: Great store, excellent selection. They are super knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. Have helped me pick out multiple baby/toddler gifts. They also do a lovely, free(!) gift wrap.

Jacquie Liddell: I registered and have shopped at Tadpole for many years. The store is fantastic. The store employees are so knowledgeable and helpful. They have a great selection of products and baby furniture. They do a beautiful gift wrap and have a rewards program. I am so happy to have this store in my neighborhood!

Julie Dananberg: I love Tadpole! The staff is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. It's the best place in the city for all items baby related.

Leah Klein: Our favourite toy store. Great for ages 0 - 10 ish. They have Lego, dolls, books, science toys, art activities, stuffed animals, board games and more.

Julie Kingsbury: Amazing array of toys and children's decor.

Christine Ruest: Very helpful staff ! Will help you pick out a special gift age appropriate. LOTS OF FUN UNIQUE GIFT for children of all ages!

Steph S: We support this location especially for their friendly attitudes. The Arlington location not so much. They do have a variety here, we buy a game from time to time and although they do have legos it’s a little bit more pricey than getting form the Lego store. We enjoy their other selections in the store though, something for everyone

Grant Barber: It's great!!! Legos, playmobil, stuffed animals, books, unique games. Just as nearby Porter Square books survived and thrived as an indie store attuned to neighborhood even w Amazon, Barnes and Noble, so too this wonderfully stocked children's toy+ store has well outlasted the big box toy stores. This location part of a small "chain" of at least 3 other locations in the wider area.

Melinda Sudbury: Lots of awesome stuff. And there stuff for you kid to play with while you shop

Linda Geehan: Different toys and is great.

Kate Owen: Interactive store with amazing staff.

Nicola Lamberto: Ottimo negozio. Trovi giocattoli di ogni tipologia. Saletta attrezzata per i bimbi.

sean guerin: great old fashioned store

Lydia Jane Graeff: Great selection of new and old toys, games, and puzzles.

Ivy Mom: This is a review for the children’s earrings only:Buyer’s beware! These earrings are NOT correctly made. I bought 2 pairs and was gifted 3 pairs— the earrings are not sized correctly to fit any standard earring backs. On 1/2 the pairs, when I removed the rubber stoppers kept on for display purposes, the earring backs that came with the earrings slid right off!! I bought these earrings during a vacation in Cambridge, and I cannot return them as I live in a different state. I was really dissapointed that half of the pairs were completely unusable. The other half do not fit a standard back and the back they come with is quite loose. Of the 5, only one pair survived. A total rip off. I recommend you avoid at all costs!!!

R Hargrow: Went to Star Market and Michael's in that mall.

Liz Harrow: great selection, friendly staff, but 16% more expensive on two items i bought-- one of them cheaper at the bookstore adjacent!

Bernie Moran: Great store. So many options and the store is set up beautifully. Great energy and the young lady wrapped the two gifts so quickly, I was back in my car(parking was also a plus in this urban retail location-really convenient) in no time. This is why TRU did not survive and why AMAZON is not the only answer. SERVICE and SELECTION - Henry Bear's Park understands. Thank you!

Marie Josee Lamothe: Touristy store with qualitative merch that is well displayed

J Nelson: Fantastic!

Eva Juliette: This is too beautiful!!!!!!!!!!

Sita Dewi: I love the variety of the merchandise here and the store interior is also great. Would love to come back and buy some more.

Sharon Cheslock: Nice selection of gift items.

Judy Bloom: Loved this store in South Faneuil Hall building. Found lots of Boston items. Purchased two t-shirts with Boston since 1630 printed on them. Pleased because one was the 3XL which is what I wanted to purchase.Found a unique White sweatshirt with Boston printed on in cool letters and colors.Staff very helpful and pleasant.

James Carson: Friendly and kind staff tons of options for trinkets to bring back home for friends or familyCheck them out!

Mike Morris: Fun little gift store!

Dena H.: Great place to go to grab your souvenirs. Has two floors filled with different items from shirts / clothing to shot glasses / mugs and way more! Perfect to grab all your gifts from

robert downs: Totally rude. The managers stood there and talked about their personal problems the whole time and not one time asked me if I needed help. I wanted an expensive sweater they had and walked up to them standing there while they continued with their personal problems conversation. After about 30 sec I finally had to cut them off just to ask them if they had a small. Their answer “no.” And they went back to their conversation. Not “oh let me see if I can help you, or let’s take a look.” Absolutely no effort at all like they didn’t care if we purchased. My wife and I were going to spend a couple hundred on that nice sweater plus souvenirs but I told her we were leaving. I walked out and she was like wow they were rude to you.Yeah we’ll spend our money elsewhere.
