The name of this store says it all: extraordinary.
Easily one of my most favourite stores in all of Calgary. It is the first store I go to whenever I need to buy a gift for a kid or a friend that acts like one.
I've never taken a kid to this store, but I can only imagine how their eyes would light up at the sheer collection of toys. And we aren't talking Toy's R Us kinda toys. These are quality toys that would invoke anyone's imagination. They have everything from your childhood and more. You'll laugh as you pick up toys that you've completely forgotten about and marvel at the ones you can't figure out.
They also have a fantastic collection of wooden toys that always make for a wonderful and last present.
On my most recent visit to Livingstone & Cavell Extraordinary Toys, I remarked to my friend how every first date should take place in store. You can really tell what kind of person you are with by the kind of toy they pick up and play with. Do they play with the puppets or push the farting machine button? These are important things you should know before embarking on date #2.
This is a first class business that provide first class fun!
