Toy Stores in Princeton, NJ

“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:

“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.”

“A huge selection of paper calendars and mainstream toys/games that do not require mastery of Mandarin by the age of 3. I applaud the contrarian instincts of any Princeton outpost that specializes in Hot Wheels, toy guns and action figures. Not the playthings of elite academia but certainly provoking a worthy smirk just by being there. Given their inventory, how they pay the rent in this progressive playpen is anyone's guess but needless to say, I'm beyond curious. For that bedeviled tyke who's in desperate need of a plastic AK-47 for show and tell in the gifted language program. Five easy stars.”
