Toys Etcetera Description
The flagship store of a mini, four-store Chicago-area chain, Toys Etcetera endears shoppers of all ages with its hands-on approach to retail. Toys aplenty are available for the smallest — a baby's bead maze, toddler's train table — to the tallest in the form of games. An inviting book nook includes a child-size rocker for mellow moments. Goods are laid out based on age from stuffed animals and infant toys in the front to Legos and logic games at the back. Staff are knowledgable, friendly and tolerant of the most exploratory shoppers Be sure to check out our other Evanston vacation ideas.

- Welcome distractions: Books, toys and games set out for children allow them to play while you browse.
- Keep an eye out. Tall wooden shelves lined up in the center of the store make it hard to see from one aisle to the other.
