We stopped in Taos on our way back home, and made a point to go to Twirl because of the wonderful playground we heard so much about. The playground is really nice and it's free. That's great, especially when you're on a long trip and the little ones need to burn off some energy. They do have a good selection... More

There's an entire playground in the front of this store. Inside, there's something for all ages and stages of development. A really excellent assortment of toys and games.

I love toy stores and have been to a lot, especially since i have young kids. I am anti-toys r us and this store is the reason independent, local toy stores need to stay in business. there is a craft room upstairs, a coyfish pond, every toy you can imagine organized in a simple fashion and a huge play structure...

My daughter and I enjoyed the store. It reminds me of a Creative Kidstuff store, or the Heartsong catalog only in person. The play area was popular, but meant for younger kids. We also loved the fish pond inside. Unique and cool. Plan to stop in if you have kids!

My wife and I, both 49, visited Twirl today, and my only disappointment is that I am far too large for some of the activities!!! One reviewer noted there are cheaper toys at Wal-Mart and they are correct. If you are looking for mass produced, cheap garbage, then I would most heartily recommend Wal-Mart. If you are looking for better... More

This is just an amazing place and should be visited by all who have kids in Taos. The playground in back is unique and fun. We also went to their free music class for kids upstairs.

This is one of our favourite places in New Mexico. Since we live 5.5 hours away from Taos, it's a bit of a drive, and we don't go nearly as often as we want, but when we get there, it's like a reprieve in itself. I adore that my babes (1 and 7) are permit to wander at will and... More

This place is a dream come true! After torturing the kids with shopping we stopped in here. My boys LOVE LOVE LOVED it! They have toys for every kind of child. It's like no other toy store I've seen. The best part is the play areas. There is a play structure and sandbox in one area and another big play... More

I'm a adult with no kids but everytime I'm in Taos somehow I end up buying something from this store. Such a cool building with tons of character and great toys.
