Toys - lots of toys

We all have kids on our gift lists - or we should have.  We want you to know that in Fairhaven you have a selection of stores for shopping for children’s toys.  Above is the window of the Fairhaven Toy Garden with a real ‘Radio Flyer’ racer in the window.  Yes, they also have red wagons - and many unique toys.  Wild Blueberries is our second full toy store and is only a block away from the Toy Garden.  Academic Outfitters, two short blocks down Harris Ave, has educational games and projects with a wide range of subjects.  Village Books has a special children’s book section with a huge selection, plus some fun toys mixed in.  Fairhaven Bike and Mountain Sports has tricycles as well as bicycles plus snowboards and more snow fun stuff.  Those are the main shops but others have neat kids items also - be it clothing, hiking shoes, or other neat things. 

Fairhaven shops are all locally owned shops - not a single chain store in the historic area.  This gives you more selection because the owner/managers choose what items to carry and you can find many of those hard to find items not available in chains.  Which gets us back to that flying racer… every little kid would love one of those.  Wouldn’t you have when you were that age?  We invite you to Fairhaven for your Christmas and holiday shopping.
