Smart Toys and Books

This is a very unique place for kids especially during winter months. It's getting popular these days so you may want to call and confirm if there are any spots available for play. There are two hours of play sessions for $8 with lots of hands on things to do. Parents have to monitor their kids. My toddler loved the place and the ambiance.

Great place as an indoor playground. The play area is limited, but it is not bad at all. Your kids can spend 2 hours easily there. The price to play is about $6-7 per kid for 2 hours. However, keep in mind that they may not be open for walk-ins, especially during the weekend, due to birthday parties. They also sell nice, high-quality toys but with premium pricing. They do gift wrapping for you, and the whole place is amazing and cozy. It just miss a coffee corner. It would be a phenomenal place if they manage to do that.

We are visiting from Colorado Springs and we all had fun here. All we experienced here was the play area and train table but all 5 kids really had a great time! The toys are really neat and there are some deals to be found! We called and reserved the kids spots to play during the two hour playtime and filled out the waivers online which saved a lot of time. We were able to play right away!

I have brought my grandkids to the play area, here for 6 years now. Most kids are great, but there is always at least one mean child, but that just bad mothers chatting or can't be bothered to deal with their kids.
Free gift wrapping with purchase!

Great selection of both educational and fun toys and books. The play area looks amazing though we're haven't used it.

They are the only toy store in Knoxville that carries some higher end and non-toxic toy brands like Hape and Brio. I like the complimentary gift wrapping, too. The play area is great for kids 3-6.

Lots of cute products and a sweet helpful staff. Loved the complimentary gift wrapping so we could hide the game from our kiddo while she was playing in the play area. What a perfect paring!

We have come to this shop several times and always have a great experience. Toys are slightly more expensive on Amazon, but they always have a great selection of high quality toys for learning that we may not have otherwise found. The play area is always clean, and the requirement for reservations keeps the number of kids playing manageable. They also gift wrap free of charge with beautiful ribbon while you shop. Overall, one of our family's favorite places to shop and play.

Great indoor play space for littles. It is enclosed and has seating for parents to watch their kiddos play. It is really nice to not have to worry about your kiddo running away.
On top of that they have some great toys and gifts!

Great place for the kids. We come here at least once a week. They have toys for the kids that are very creative.

Great toys and books selection with a really cool play area (that is pay to play). Definitely call ahead for free play spots because it can fill up fast! The bathroom has a step stool for kids and has always been clean which is very helpful.

Fantastical place to take young children to play, socialize, learn and burn off energy! You could spend hours here! I highly recommend! Guarantee you'll love it.

This little store is great and they have an indoor play place that looks like so much fun. All of their merchandise is a great selection for any kid's birthday.

Very cool toy store! My kids loved the toys from here. All are very well made and are designed for learning. This store also hosts art classes and birthday parties.

A golden egg. If you miss the toy stores of times past, go here. They have a great play area - the giant pirate ship commands your attention as soon as you enter the store! We did not get to really explore it this trip as this section has specified hours, but we will be back!! I am so glad I discovered this place before my son turned 2 so we will be able to enjoy it. Great selection for kids under 6. Two thumbs up!

Not just a place to buy awesome kids toys and books. They is a whole play area for kids 3 and under. So fun!

Smart Toys and Books is the best indoor kids place in Knoxville! We go weekly! Such cute toys too!

Very lovely toy store. They have unique items that you can't find at Target or Walmart. Yes Amazon may have a slightly better price, but I personally do not think it is that big of a difference. I agree that some of the staff are a little standoff-ish. Their board game selection is awesome and I am always finding something new. Overall this is my first go to for gifts.

We had my daughter’s first birthday party here over the weekend and it was such a great experience! All of the kids had a blast! The host, Becca and Megan, did a great job not only did they set up everything but they also served the food/cake to the party guest and communicated with me every step of the way! I definitely recommend this place for birthday parties!

This is the coolest toy store I’ve been to. We went there for an art class that is offered in the back of the store. My 5 year old son loved the class and loved the teacher. It was a great environment for children to run around and play while parents browse throughout the store. They have a huge pirate ship in the middle of the store that kids can climb and play on and then other jungle gym like stuff in the same area. I’m not sure about the pricing of the toys but the art classes were very reasonably priced.
