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 two decades 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.

But The Rocking Horse is more than just a store – it’s a hub for family fun! Our events, like the exciting Dino Dash (a non-competitive children’s race), March Break Madness, and many more, bring families together for unforgettable experiences year after year.

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

Play is more than just fun for children – it’s essential. Through play, children express themselves, explore their creativity, and learn about the world around them. Toys are the tools that ignite imaginations and foster growth, helping to develop physical, social, and intellectual skills. That’s why we’re committed to offering high-quality, purposeful toys that bring lasting value and enrichment.
