Whether you want to get good gifts for someone, or a child at heart who enjoys a puzzle or a board game, it’s good to know where to find quality games when visiting a new city. These are two great toy and game shops Galway, Ireland has to offer:

Wooden Heart

A true gem in the heart of Galway, Wooden Heart is a small and colorful storefront in the tourist and shopping Quay Street. This family-run store prides itself on selling ethically-produced toys, mostly made in Europe.

Walking into Wooden Heart is a bit like stepping into a little wonderland, filled with soft toys and wooden creations, little music boxes, and even old school tin trinkets. The visit itself is an experience and the toys and games are beautiful and of long-lasting quality.

Dungeons and Donuts

This Galway institution offers everything a geek of any age might look for. From the shelves stacked with donuts and a little coffee shop corner to the tables running group board games and the large, and ever-updating collection of board games, card games, and related paraphernalia such as miniatures and paints. They even have a games library in case you want to try a game out. With a donut.
