Toy Stores near Lawrence, NJ

“I'm really glad I found this Ollie's! I used to go to the one in Independence Plaza when I lived nearby, but this Lawrence Shopping Center location is now much closer for me. The store was surprisingly well furnished, with plenty of those unique, hard to find items that make Ollie's fun to browse, and the prices were just as great as always. I'll definitely be back.”

“Jazams Specializes in toys, books, puzzles, games, and gifts for children of all ages. It has been a well-known independent toy store in downtown Princeton for many years and has received national recognition from the toy retail industry.

It’s a long-running independent toy and children’s book store known for curated toys, games, puzzles, stuffed animals, and gifts rather than mass-market selections. It has been operating in Princeton since the 1990s and has received national recognition from specialty toy retailers. Regardless of collection, cost is a bit high.

For JaZams in Palmer Square, the easiest paid parking options are:

* Closest: Chambers Street Garage — about a 1–2 minute walk from JaZams. Open 24 hours. Address: 25 Chambers St.
* Also very close: Hulfish Garage — another Palmer Square garage, also just a short walk away. Open 24 hours.
* Municipal option: Spring Street Garage — a few blocks away near the Princeton Public Library. Often a good backup when downtown is busy.

Current Palmer Square garage rates are approximately:

* 30 min: $1.75
* 1 hr: $3.75
* 2 hrs: $5.75
* 3 hrs: $7.50
* 4 hrs: $9.50
* 24 hrs: $38.00

There is also metered street parking around Nassau Street, Palmer Square, and nearby side streets, but on Saturdays it can fill up quickly. Princeton enforces paid parking at many meters and pay stations during posted hours.”

“This place is much bigger and more organizes then mine in Toms River. They have more stuff and a very wide selection. Most of their prices are fairly reasonable and you can find some great bargains. Whenever I go out to Hamilton I usually stop in. But go see for yourself.”

“​This is easily one of my favorite spots to grab a coffee and unwind. Because it’s located inside the Barnes & Noble, it has a completely different vibe than your typical standalone, high-stress drive-thru Starbucks. It’s much more relaxed, clean, and quiet—perfect if you want to actually sit down, read, or get some work done.
​The staff here is always incredibly friendly and efficient, and the drinks are consistently well-made. Plus, you can't beat the convenience of grabbing a great beverage and browsing the book aisles right after. Highly recommend this specific location if you're looking for a calmer café experience in the Fairless Hills area!”

“Its a shame that more stores like these rarely exist anymore...so we need to support those that are fighting the good fight and doing a good job at it.

This store in this location is deceptive. Its bigger than it looks and it has quite an impressive inventory.

Quality Games for children and adults of all ages are present and accounted for. The shelves contain many treasures that you will not find at Target, Walmart and that's a great thing.

There are shelves upon shelves of puzzles, board games, add one, collectable Funko figures as well as a quiet vibe. If you want to browse...and you will...they will allow you to do so in peace.

Ironically, there is a giant checker set directly outside to help set the tone.

My only recommendations...

1 - Set up a few demo tables and introduce some news games to folks that may not know about them.

2 - while there are many puzzles to choose from, I do not recall any piece count that went past 2,000 pieces. You should have a few in the 10 to 20 thousand piece categories.

Other than that...stop by...wander...and pick up a few things for your family game night...or for yourself, you deserve it!”

“Caroline was so helpful in selecting a few gifts for new friends’ new babies. The curation is excellent, especially the toys. And the gift wrapping was expert. I hope to be back soon.”

“Staff was not very helpful at the Hamilton branch. She told me twice the wrong place to look for the items I wanted. But a kind lady who was there shopping helped me find it.”

“Amazing service! Also I was able to find a game I’ve been having trouble looking for. I can’t remember the name but the cashier with the long hair was so kind and helpful too.”
