Toy Sense

At Toy Sense you can shop at our two retail locations in Thunder Bay, Ontario or on our e-commerce site at www.ToySense.ca

HISTORY

Toy Sense began in 2002 when Darryl Boyer informed his son Mateyko that he was opening a new store. It was going to be an Auto-Tool store but out of the mouth of a 5 year old was, “Is it going to be a toy store?” Not to disappoint his son, he brought in a few toys. At the same time the local toy store closed and there was a demand for quality toys. A few toys turned into a row. A row of toys turned into two. This original toy store has grown to 4,500 sq. feet with a warehouse of 7,000 sq. feet. The toy store is located at 447 May Street North alongside a business called Auto-Tool Sense where you can find a full line of auto parts, hand and air tools. In 2019 we opened a second toy store at 309 Bay Street in Thunder Bay, Ontario. In the summer of 2021 we opened Wildwood Cafe at our 447 May Street North location.
