 Toying Around |
694 Queen Street West Toronto, ON M6J 1E7 Canada +1 416 861 1684 http://www.magic-pony.com/ |
Kids can never tire of cartoons! Every character that a child likes finds a mark on their arms as tattoos and school-bags as stickers. Prominent in the list of collectibles are also toys and action figures. Magic Pony is the place that stacks them both. Aside from classic American action heroes, the store also features those from the Japanese world. Whilst strolling around the West Queen Street, you know it's a matter of time before the kids pester you to take them here! Review © 2007, Wcities |

Best Invention Since the Wheel |
101 Yorkville Avenue (at Avenue Road) Toronto, ON M5R 1C1 Canada +1 416 929 9090 http://www.prestigeautoart.com/ |
Miniature replicas of race cars are the mainstay at this unique shop, which is surrounded by trendy galleries, restaurants and boutiques, in the heart of Yorkville.

For those with a limited expense account, the shop also carries a wide range of T-shirts, key chains and prints that will please anyone who loves cars. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The Science of Fun |
50 Bloor Street W Toronto, ON M4W 1A1 Canada +1 416 968 2627 / +1 877 260 8433 http://www.sciencecity.ca/ |
This store, located in the Bloor-Yonge area, combines fun and education perfectly. There are books, puzzles and kits for budding Einsteins. Even some toys you might not normally associate with science; such as kites (to study wind) and bird feeders (to study wildlife); are available. The store's goods cover all sciences, from astronomy to zoology. This place is a great source for school projects and science fairs, or just for rainy days when you want to do a few scientific experiments at home. Review © 2007, Wcities |
 Canada's largest |
276 King Street West Toronto, ON M5V 3A6 Canada +1 416 345 9941 http://www.hfam.com/ |
Touted as Canada's largest permanent antique outlet, this Harbourfront landmark features more than 100 dealers, with another 100 or so spreading out-of-doors every Sunday from May to September. You'll find collectibles like 1930s Fiesta Ware and Majolica china, or that special piece of furniture. This is also a favourite place to play "Spot the Celebrity," as stars such as Jane Fonda, Whoopi Goldberg and Goldie Hawn have been known to wander about when they're in town. You can also grab a bite at the second-floor Sophie's Cafe. Review © 2007, Wcities |
