Fair Day's Play Toys & Games

I brought my son here for his reward, we were very pleased with the WIDE selection of toys! The staff were very kind and accommodating to me and my sons uncommon needs.

This place is super cute! You'll feel like Albert Finney's Scrooge on Christmas morning. Staff are so kind. I wish they had more space to fit everything!

Nice and clean place with tons of options for toys and games , the staff was also super friendly. Glad I found this place, and I will definitely be returning.

I had the most amazing experience with fair days play. My wife and I were looking for a hard to find game that we learned is no longer in print. I called the store and they immediately knew about it. For perspective, I had called six other toy stores in the Washington DC area and only one other had heard of it. The owner of fair days play offered to look in her storage shed to see if she could find one for me.She said it might take a while and she would call me back, which she did the very next day. Believe it or not she had one and found it! I was so excited but our plans were to leave town and I wasn’t able to get it from her store when she opened.

That’s when the most extraordinary thing occurred. She offered to meet me at a highway exit near her store and sell me the game in a parking lot. I was pleasantly surprised that she offered to do this and no this could never happen and the other kind of store, other than a sole proprietor ship with an owner that cares.

This is the kind of service and interest you only get from someone who loves what they do. It’s sort of reminds me of what you might see on a TV commercial but we all cynically dismiss it as father. But this store totally helped me. I will always go to the store first for my game needs and recommend that if you have something hard to find or just main stream, this owner cares about games and her customers and it’s worth going to. We need more stores like this

Wonderful selection of toys for all ages. You can set up appointments or come by and she will meet you outside to look at toys. Just let her know what you want. All fair trade or union made. No discounted junk.

Very intimate environment with a lot of cool toys, board games, and books you won’t be able to find at big name stores. The owner is a very nice lady and is very knowledgeable about every product in her store. 11/10 would recommend!

This small shop is crammed with wonderful toys and books, and the owner is a superb guide who knows her inventory extremely well and gives great advice about current favorites, tried-and-true, and best matches for your favorite kids’ ages and interests. It’s like an overflowing treasure chest of toys, games, and books, at all price points – the special strategy games that my older grandkids have heard of, the simple toys that fit my two-year-old grandchild, cuddly creatures for new babies, hula hoops and jump ropes and so many classic toys, the surprise small new things (LED party balloons? Yup, and I bought them as stocking-stuffers!) -- really everything I’ve ever wanted is in there, and there is no more patient guide than the owner. She is also a wonderful collaborator when I come in with a child; if a child clearly wants something and I whisper a request, the owner will whisk it behind the counter and help me pay and smuggle it out without the child knowing – which isn’t really hard because children always find something fun here to distract their attention. I also love knowing I can trust these playthings. Today I bought some well-made plastic farm animals (plus more exotic ones I couldn’t resist) and I am very grateful that I don’t need to wonder if they were made with toxic paints; the owner wouldn’t stock them in that case. Because of the personal attention, this isn’t a store for rushing: instead, it’s a store to love year after year after year. I always smile going in, and smile even more going out with special gifts.

Friendly and patient staff. The owner knows all of the games and toys really well. She provided me with a great recommendation for a birthday party and even sold me on a game that we play often and love.
There is something here for everyone - bring out your inner child and go visit.

The store feels like home and treats you well. The owner down to the employees are very nice and will help when needed. Would recommend, hoping for the day to buy from them online.

Great, quirky, independent toy and game store. They have the beautiful, high-end board games like Catan, ticket to ride, and tokaido. Made-in-America dress up clothes worthy of handing down. Wooden baby toys, science kits, puzzles, Arts n crafts, puppets and stuffed animals. Magic cards, Pokémon, dice, you name it! Its kind of amazing how much is under one small roof! The owner is super knowledgeable about age appropriate toys and what’s the latest craze, which is great for selecting birthday presents. Highly recommend- hope this is one place that can survive the big-box store competition.

forget the big stores! this is an excellent family-owned independent toy store. our family loves it here. one warning... it's so much fun, it's hard to get the kiddies out the store after you've purchased your items. great spot!

Owner was patient and helpful when I bought many shoebox items yesterday. I especially liked the experimental kit where older kids could test and, to a limited extent, purify their water. I suggested that they carry solar lanterns.

We just moved to Takoma Park recently and this past weekend we were in need of a birthday present. I was glad we found this store, with plenty of options and kind and helpful staff. We are very happy to have this store in our new neighborhood!

I've been shopping at Fair Day's Play since it opened. I highly recommend them for their unique selection, reasonable prices and superb customer service.

Always my favorite place to go for toys! They have educational games, toys, and books as well as puzzles! The staff is always very welcoming and helpful. I love shopping here!

I go there regularly with my 7 year old grandson. Lots of interesting, educational, and fun toys and games. Worth visiting, but allow plenty of time, there are more games and toys than you can imagine...most of which you won't find elsewhere.

Great toys. Wonderful staff!
I would recommend it to any that was looking for the perfect gift!

This store always has the best toys and games, and really appreciate their efforts to remain open through the pandemic. Thanks for all your help over the years!

Incredible customer service. I just happened upon this delightful shop while working I'm not a local but I could not walk away without making a purchase.

great place to go for educational toys! great customer service!
