Since 2001, The Rocking Horse has been the Kingston and area’s trusted destination for joyful discovery and timeless play. Nestled in the heart of Downtown Kingston, we’re a locally-owned, independent toy store dedicated to inspiring creativity and connection for all ages. With over 25 years of experience, we take pride in being both a community cornerstone and a haven for toy enthusiasts.

Our shelves are brimming with a thoughtfully curated selection of classic and retro toys, engaging board games, beautifully crafted wooden toys, sensory and fidget items, cuddly stuffed animals, and whimsical novelty treasures. We’re passionate about bringing you the best from trusted brands like LEGO, Ravensburger, Playmobil, Schleich, Green Toys, and more.

One of our favorite parts of what we do is helping you find the perfect gift. Whether you're exploring our cozy shop or browsing online, our energetic and knowledgeable team is here to assist. If you’re shopping online and don’t see what you’re looking for, just give us a call or drop us a message. Behind every inquiry is the same dedicated team that has been helping families find joy and wonder for over 20 years.

Our Philosophy

We believe play is an important part of childhood, and after years of working with toys, we’ve learned that the best ones aren’t always the ones with the most bells and whistles. They’re the toys that children genuinely want to play with and keep coming back to.

We’re thoughtful about what earns a place on our shelves. We look for toys that are well made, suited to the children they’re designed for, and offer real opportunities for play. We know toys, we know the brands behind them, and we choose products we feel good about recommending to the families who shop with us.
