Ark Toys is a throwback to the toy stores of Christmas past, filled with educational toys made with integrity and probably with sustainable design. Although there may be some plastic here and there, the overall sense is that one has stepped into that magical place you dreamed of as a child, filled with wonderful toys and games and bright and shiny objects. It stands in sharp contrast to the big brick stores like Toys R Us. The Ark has two levels packed to the gills with toys, children's outfits, games, stuffed animals, dolls and craft sets. What it doesn't have are electronic and video games or battery-operated toys.
