Attention future super heroes, scientists, and astronauts! Direct your parental units toward Adventure Toys and prepare for your imagination to take flight.
You’ll find an edited collection of toys and gadgets, fit for the most inspired of birthday parties, as well as an utterly empowering selection of books – celebrating the best of humankind from RBG to Michelle Obama. An institution in the neighborhood since 1996, Adventure Toys brings out the best in Oakland’s curious kiddos.


Meet the owner, Ami:
KOA: What inspired you to open your shop?
AMI: An opportunity presented itself to continue to provide Lakeshore and surrounding neighborhoods with a toystore, and we wanted to continue to keep an old school toystore in Oakland.
KOA: What made you want to sell toys and books?
AMI: We actually bought the old Toyshouse 22 years ago and continued to provide Lakeshore as a go-to destination for toys and books.
KOA: What do you love about Oakland?
AMI: The small town feel in a big city. There's no street quite like Lakeshore, it's a very unique environment. There’s a little something for everyone.
KOA: What does your store say about Oakland?
AMI: Something we hear from customers a lot is "I never knew you were here" and they’re shocked to learn we've been here for so long. It's nice being a hidden gem that brings people instant joy. On the flip side, we have very loyal customers and are not ready to cave to big box stores.
KOA: What are some other local shops you love?
AMI: Bay-Made (hello neighbor!), Colonial Donuts, and Aunt Mary's.
KOA: What's your favorite product in the shop?
AMI: I love art, so these pencils are magic. Colored pencils AND watercolors at the same time?
