Just in time for the holiday shopping season, Santa Maria residents have a new toy store in town to help fill children’s stockings and wish lists.
Toy Zoo (& Anything Educational Too) is now open next to Michael’s crafts at 1930 S. Broadway. Locally owned by Marc Canigiula, who also owns Anything Educational, the store stocks K’Nex, Erector sets, Playmobil, toy animals, LEGO, puzzles, the Molly and Me princess dress-up line, and more. Canigiula is also considering starting a free weekly music and story hour.
Toy Zoo offers free gift-wrapping and is open seven days a week.
