Lark Toys is described as being one of the largest independent specialty toy stores in the United States. They have over 20,000 square feet of stores including every toy imaginable, books, science projects, craft ideas, games, and puzzles. There is also a Memory Lane Toy Museum with toys from the past.
Here Amaya is putting a puzzle together:
They have a great area full of dress up clothes for purchase. Amaya didn't want to try on any of the crazy hats or sunglasses, but both Steve and I enjoyed it! I love this hamburger hat and fun sunglasses!
We indulged in Strawberry ice cream, Fruit Loop flavored ice-cream, and homemade fudge. My favorite fudge was the Caramel Cashew, Steve liked the Peanut Butter Chocolate, and Amaya liked them all!Lark Toys has a one of a kind, hand carved wooden carousel and it took over a period of nine years to carve and hand-stain them. We thought Amaya might enjoy a ride, so we gave it a whirl. At first, she had a death grip on me:
And then... pretty soon she was laughing every time we passed Steve. She loved it so much, that she waited a half an hour to go back on the carousel for a second time! Roller coasters here she comes!
They also have a scenic 18 hole miniature golf course with crazy blue waterfalls and a mountain that you play through. We didn't have enough time to play, but maybe next time.
