Big Blue Whale

Attending my new neighbor's 1-year-old birthday party, I wanted to strike the right note with my gift. Walking into Blue Whale, the day of the party, I found a bunny an a top hat hand puppet within tens steps from the front door. Being a Saturday, they were busy with parents and a sheaf of curious children parsing through they reachable toy bins. A short wait in line and my gift was stuffed into a plain brown gift bag with colorful tissue paper hiding the contents. They offer discounts if you're on their list of repeats customers but we're unable to find my wife's info on their computer, doing so would have saved me five bucks. The 1-year-old loved it and the parents now have a new way to entertain her with separating any pairs of socks. Thank you, Blue Whale!

Local toy store in the heights There’s a good selection of toys - with plenty of Legos to wooden toy trains. Staff are very friendly.

Great store. I love to take my son to look at all the toys. They have an awesome selection. Lots of books to choose from throughout the store. Prices are realistic and I'd rather buy toys here than other larger stores.

Lovely experience! We were visiting the area and needed some gifts for friends’ kids. Not only did they have something for every age, but the women in the shop were so helpful! And we were able to get them gift wrapped beautifully. 10/10!!

Great local toy store. They can help you pick out a gift and have it wrapped and get you on your way in no time. And you won’t give the same Amazon toy as everyone else!

This place is very adorable. It is definitely a spruced up KayBee toy store. They have quite a variety of toys that aren't normally seen at a Target or Walmart. RIP Toys R Us... maybe?!. It's still a nice experience to check out. So go, get you some toys!

Absolutely charming toy store! My husband and I were in the area for a Christmas party and decided to see if Big Blue Whale had any special toys not sold in the big box stores. We were not disappointed. Our little ones will be so excited to see what fun and unique Christmas gifts we found. I cannot recommend this small, locally owned business enough. We will definitely be back on our next visit to Houston.

Cool classic record store w some cds and classic equipment. Wide variety of records that are current and classics.

Such a cute store! They've got a vast selection of various toys and books for all ages. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Definitely worth a visit!

I love this store. The neat little neighborhood got store and I will gladly travel across Houston to visit. They have all the new things and will gift wrap!
