Goochem Speelgoed

Amsterdam


This large toy shop spread over two floors has been putting grins on small faces for over three decades. Overlooked by a huge stuffed giraffe, there's a fine range of board games, musical instruments, cute wooden pull-along toys, dolls, costumes, tea sets, books, puzzles and super-soft cuddly toys.
