EDUCATION MEETS INSPIRATION
Not every toy is made equal, and as much fun as we have, we take our choice of toys very seriously. At Play on the Strand you’ll find a classic meets modern selection of only the best in fun and engaging toys. Many of our toys are award winning standouts in the industry that promise to entertain, encourage and educate. There’s nothing wrong with a child building their imagination by playing pretend with a doll or action figure, and even the occasional video game can be a great way to pass the time, but when you see your child open a Hoberman sphere for the first time, or desperately try to catch a ball with a kendama, you see the difference a truly great toy can make! Come to Play on the Strand to find all of the best and most unique toys available.

What a fun little store on the Strand! Most of the shopping down there is all about the same with shells and cheap t-shirts, but not this store. It had unique toys and the staff was so fun. They encourage our kids to try everything and even played with them. In the back they have old arcade games and a place to sit and rest.
The owner of this store is so nice and personable. Had a great time looking around as well as playing with some of the toys. They have cool arcade games in the back that you can play too! Such a great place to buy gifts and explore. Also great for teachers needing sensory items and fidget toys. Would highly recommend!!!
