The toy store you wish every town had in it! The A2Z store is a wonderful experience, not just a place you pop in to pickup a quick gift, this wonderful store is worth an hour of browsing. The store covers everything from small gifts to collectible fossils and stones. Our 4 yr old loved everything and wanted it all. He spent quite a bit of time playing at the demo tables. Things to look at especially...board game selection, not a collection you would find at Barnes and Noble. The fossils and puppets were a great collection, and the outdoor toys provide for some very active play.

Had no idea how fab this place was, having lived in town 3+ years but never gone in. Not much a shopper me.
Went because we had a grandson with us with $$ to burn and I didn't want to see him blow it again at Target on Nerf guns (oye).
HE loved this place, as did we and my SIL (sister in law). Bought a pyrex chemistry measure thing, for a vase and/or creamer to put out at knitting. A delight.

Yes, it’s essentially a “toy store” but it’s so much more! From baby board books to challenging board games for adults, A2Z is a fun destination. Over the years, and now in its second generation of ownership, A2Z never disappoints. It’s worth a drive if you live a distance, as I don’t think I’ve ever experienced such a broad range of items that are fun, educational, and stimulating. That said, the ambiance of the store can feel a bit “over-stimulating” so be prepared, and if you’re bringing a toddler, maybe secure her in a stroller or backpack. From simple little “stocking stuffers” like mini-games or small mineral specimens, to kits that can build a huge DNA model, A2Z is a blast to browse.

A2Z has both high quality toys and a large selection of educational and craft gifts for kids, as well as games for the whole family. Great place to find gifts.

I'm not a big gift giver. My family will tell you. I won't give a gift for the sake of it. That happens enough already, if you ask me. The gift has to jump out at me and say, "this is perfect for Little Elmira!" or "Young Tracy will cherish this!" A2Z is where to find that gift. And this doesn't even begin to describe their sales staff. A more helpful and pleasant crew you couldn't find anywhere. I heart them!

If I was a kid I could spend hours in this place. It's so interactive and fun. Staff were friendly and approachable and the range of items for sale was immense. From slime to rockets this science and literacy based store has it all! A must see in Northampton.

This store is chock full of educational toys for children of all ages. Three adults in my family stopped in for an hour to look for toys for children ages 2-6, and we came out with several gift ideas.
