To call Big Fun a toy shop would not do it justice.

This delightful toy and collectible store in the Short North neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio is the place where people go to relive their childhood and the times they spent on the floor of their childhood rooms among Transformers, My Little Pony, Star Wars characters, GI Joe, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and other toys that played such an important part of growing up.

The 1,200-square-foot store is packed with racks, shelves, and display cases full of our childhood dreams, including Star Wars of different eras, yo-yos, He-Man, kites, original trading cards, girls’ favorites such as My Little Pony, and so much more. The store not only sells toys but also buys and trades them, and there is always something new.

Big Fun, 672 N. High St., Columbus, OH 43215, Phone: 614-228-8697
