Whiz Kids
Inlander readers voted Whiz Kids their favorite toy store this year, and with good reason. "When kids of all ages come into my store, I hope they have fun. I hope they open themselves up to exploring something new to them," says owner Jan St. George, who stocks a balance of educational and just-for-fun toys. She aims to sell long-lasting toys to which kids will have more than a fleeting attachment, while also looking to provide items that run the gamut from science experiment kits and timeless, wooden Melissa & Doug puzzles to trendy fidget spinners.
