VerifiedGeppetto's at 1146 Orange Avenue is Coronado's dedicated toy store. The Miller family has run the San Diego-based Geppetto's chain for over 40 years across nine locations, and the Coronado shop opened in April 2018 — a return to the island after the family previously operated a toy store inside Hotel Del Coronado for two decades.
The store stocks specialty and educational brands rather than mass-market inventory. Expect Jellycat plush animals, Plus-Plus building blocks, Thames & Kosmos science kits, Melissa & Doug, and Crazy Aaron's Thinking Putty alongside outdoor toys, kites, and active-play items. Staff match toy recommendations to specific ages during in-store consultations, which helps out-of-town grandparents and gift-buyers who are browsing without a child's specific wishlist.
5L2F Fiveloaves Twofish at 1150 Orange Avenue — one storefront from Geppetto's — carries children's clothing and accessories. The two shops form a side-by-side kids' shopping stop on the south end of Orange Avenue near Hotel Del Coronado.
For baby gear like strollers, car seats, and travel cribs, Coronado does not have a dedicated baby-equipment store. Residents and visitors typically order online or cross the bridge to Point Loma and San Diego's larger retail districts for baby gear purchases. Little Sam's Island & Beach Fun in the Sports & Outdoor subcategory rents beach-day gear that families with young children find useful.
Geppetto's stocks categories spanning active play, arts and crafts, construction sets (LEGO, Plus-Plus, Playmobil), dolls, science and nature kits, plush animals (Jellycat is a top seller), puzzles, board games, books, and outdoor toys. The buying team selects products based on developmental value and age-appropriate engagement rather than stocking whatever is trending on social media.
The store is open Monday through Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. and Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. — longer hours than most Orange Avenue shops, which makes it convenient for families returning from a beach day. For books paired with a toy purchase, Bay Books at 1007 Orange Avenue has an extensive children's section and is a five-minute walk north.
