When you walk into a Casey’s Toys store, you sense something more than a retail experience. There’s comfort, nostalgia, and a genuine spark of excitement—something akin to stumbling into your childhood dreams. This is what Casey’s Toys has perfected over decades: making toys a joyful, human experience—rooted in community, trust, and unhurried delight.
A Story That Stretches Back to 1974
Casey’s Toys traces its origins to 1974, slowly growing from one store into a beloved family-run chain across New South Wales. Its mission? Delivering “a wholesome range of toys and games for all ages, budgets and interest of children” while always prioritizing value, customer service, and sparking wonder.
Today, under the umbrella of the Toycorp group owned by the Sher family, Casey’s Toys remains deeply committed to these same values as one of Sydney and NSW’s leading independent toy retailers.
Why Casey’s Feels Like Family
Authentic value isn’t just a tagline here—it’s a promise. Casey’s Toys stocks nearly 7,000 different products in store—ranging from top name-brand toys to creative hobbies, educational kits, collectibles, and more. But what really stands out is how these are presented: not as flashy offers, but as thoughtful surprises meant to delight both child and parent.
Whether you’re buying a spontaneous gift, gearing up for school holidays, or just browsing for inspiration, Casey’s ensures there’s something for every occasion—with prices that sometimes make even the staff do a double-take.
Instilling Joy with Every Visit
Visiting Casey’s Toys isn’t just shopping—it’s an experience. Stores like the iconic Erina flagship, despite weathering fires and rebuilding, still embody the same spirit of fun and discovery they always have.
Each location—from Castle Hill and Charlestown to Wagga Wagga and Wollongong—serves as a community hub where families return year after year, drawn not just by products, but by personal service and loyalty. The staff’s helpfulness isn’t scripted—it’s the product of years building trust one recommendation at a time.
Personal Service That Feels Delightful
There’s something kindly human about how Casey’s makes shopping feel personal again. You can:
-
Browse online, then call in with questions—staff will walk you through options.
-
Opt for Call & Collect, where they’ve already picked and paid for your goodies, so you just collect with zero hassle.
In a world increasingly digital, Casey’s preserves the joy of talking to a real person, helping you make the best choice—with warmth, not algorithms.
A Range That Inspires, Crafts, and Endures
Whether it’s imaginative LEGO builds, arts and crafts, collectibles, or STEM learning kits, Casey’s has curated their offerings to ignite creativity and curiosity.
And it’s not just variety—it’s intention. Every toy is chosen to help kids “play, discover and learn. Get out, move and thrive. Imagine, create and inspire.” You sense that Casey’s still believes toys should foster real childhood development—not just momentary distraction.
Locations That Root Them in Your Community
From Broadfoot to Brookvale, Castle Hill to Shellharbour, Casey’s Toys has embedded itself across Greater Sydney and regional NSW. Their modest network of around a dozen stores prioritizes reach without diluting the welcoming, hometown charm.
These stores aren’t faceless outlets—they’re places where staff know regulars by name, remember siblings, and reunite generations through shared stories.
A Tradition That Welcomes New Generations
Casey’s has carried the goodwill from beloved chains like Toys R Us, welcoming families who miss that nostalgic service—encouraging them: “If you used to shop at Toys R Us, we welcome you.”
Yet, Casey’s also evolves—with after-pay, catalogues full of specials, and digital channels—so they offer modern convenience without losing their human heart.
Turning Customers into Believers
Decades of trust aren’t built on products alone—they’re built on relationships.
Parents share how Casey’s sold their child’s first puzzle or their teen’s favorite collectables. The cyclical rhythm of returning families, the weekend explorers, the hobby veterans—they all form the tapestry of Casey’s legacy. Even a headline calling the Erina store “an iconic landmark and place of fun, excitement and imagination” shows how deeply Casey’s lives in hearts and headlines alike.
Adapting with Heart, Not Hype
Although rooted in tradition, Casey’s continues evolving. As part of Toycorp, the business remains dynamic—innovating retail while upholding family values. Their expansions, like the store at Stockland Shellharbour, celebrate their mission in fresh communities: “now open … offering the biggest selection, best advice, and of course magic, fun and excitement for kids.”
To Casey’s, adapting means enhancing the human connection—not replacing it.
