There are not many independent toy stores left but Geppetto’s really throws back to the bygone era of my childhood. Great selection of really neat toys. They have everything from big brands like Lego and Mattel products, to more unique and mindful and specialized toys that help develop the mind. Very spendy. Nice people!

Our family loves Gepettos and hope to always be loyal customers. We usually shop at 4S but it closed so we came to the Forum for the first time today. We visited with my elderly mother and were shopping for bday gifts for my two youngest daughters. My six year old daughter had trouble keeping her mask on properly. The two ladies on staff were constantly telling her to pull her mask up. Every couple of minutes. She consistently obeyed but it would fall down again. Their constant and consistent reprimands were harassment. Of a child. It was totally unnecessary They could have addressed it with me, the mother, but they choose not to. Why? Very sad to see a child treated in this manner, esp given our current situation re masks in Cali. Leave the kids alone please. Take it up with the parent.

I love this store. Every time I shop here the manager Kim and her employees are very helpful and kind. They always offer age appropriate suggestions for gifts. It is wonderful to support a smaller business and shop in person. I also appreciate that they have followed the masking rules. Thank you for caring for others' health and well-being.

Went in with my five nieces and nephews to purchase toys for each of them. They had all picked out toys which we planned on purchasing and the old lady with glasses came out and said they needed masks. I had told her that 2 of them were exempt due to medical issues and the other ones were under the age requirement. She proceeded to ignore me and hand them masks anyway. This made me LIVID. I kept my cool because my nephews were there. HOWEVER, if I said no, DO NOT IGNORE ME and hand them a mask anyway. Then she kept following them around telling them to pull their masks up and was being so crazy when their giant masks would slip off their tiny faces. I would have rather been asked to leave. She got up in their faces when she is supposed to be six feet apart and she touched both sides of the masks that she gave them. DO NOT EVER IGNORE A GUARDIAN and hand anything to a minor after I clearly said no. We left and took them to target instead which was double the price but worth every penny. I refuse to spend a dime there.

Manager (I think her name is Kim) at Carlsbad location has seriously put me off from shopping at this store ever again. I wanted to buy something for one of my kids as a Christmas present, who was with me at the time. My husband is deployed, daycares are closed, and Christmas is around the corner. Back to the incident...I placed the item on the counter(to the side so he wouldn't see) and gave he my card. Tried to distract him. While distracting him, I found another toy he really liked. I did the same thing by placing it onto the counter without him noticing. I go to sign the credit card receipts and saw a sign, "spend $40 and get XTY puzzle toy for free". I said was almost at that almost so I told her that I would get something else to hit the amount and get the free puzzle. She said that I couldn't because it was rang up in separate purchases. I told her I could just return it and buy everything back at once to hit the $40. Her: "your kids are too young for that toy anyway" Me: "I have an older one at home who would really love it!" Her: "well you have to get something else Bc you aren't at $40." I look around for 20 more mins for another item and can't find anything so instead decide to buy a gift card to make up for the amount and get the free toy. I stand in line again with my two tantruming kids and she tells me that they don't have anymore. It's like she did everything in her power to try to prevent me from getting the free gift with purchase and I have no idea why. They have cute things, and I will look in the store but only to get gift ideas to buy cheaper on Amazon or at other big box stores. I actually scanned it and bought the items online at target for about 30% cheaper. No one that treats me like a second class citizen (because I want to take advantage of their offer) will ever get a penny of my money.
