About
Boulevard des Jouets, also known as Toy Boulevard, is a well-stocked toy store on Boulevard Decarie in the Snowdon area. With 322 Google reviews and a 4.6 rating, it's one of Montreal's most popular independent toy retailers. The store carries a wide inventory spanning toys for babies through pre-teens.
The selection is broader than most Montreal toy boutiques. You'll find major brands alongside specialty items, from LEGO and Playmobil to educational toys, arts and crafts supplies, board games, and puzzles. The variety means there's something for every age and interest, which makes it a reliable destination for birthday shopping or just a fun browse.
The store is spacious enough that you can navigate with a stroller, which is a plus over some of Montreal's tinier boutiques. The aisles are organized by category and age, making it easy to find what you're looking for. Staff are helpful and can point you toward popular items or hidden gems.
The Decarie Boulevard location has good parking accessibility compared to downtown shops. The Snowdon metro station is within walking distance. The store is closed on Mondays and Sundays, so plan your visit for Tuesday through Saturday.
For families visiting Montreal, Toy Boulevard is worth the trip if you want to bring home quality toys. For local families, it's the kind of store you'll return to repeatedly for gifts, rewards, and rainy-day browsing trips.
