Where to start with Cheeky Monkey toy store…I was originally planning to just review this downtown Menlo Park store, which I stumbled upon this summer. I wasn’t the first – it’s been around for at least 6 years.
I’ll be the first to say how much I despise Toys R Us. And as much as I love Target, I hate their toy selection. Cheeky Monkey has a fabulous variety of toys – castles, Alex art products, science labs, dinosaurs, bug stuff, games and Grandma toys (the ones only grandmas buy because they’re expensive).
I bought Mad Libs, which got us in trouble at Legoland (read why).
I’m also posting about two upcoming free events there
