Toy Stores, Candy Shops + Souvenirs
Strolling and shopping are synonymous with a Breckenridge visit. There are more than 200 shops sprinkled throughout the meticulously preserved historic downtown district and—though the custom jewelry, curated galleries and gourmet culinary boutiques are something special—Breckenridge shopping isn’t just for the grown-ups.
Let the kiddos take the lead and browse these colorful toy, candy, book and gift shops for souvenirs and fantastic finds.
Kid Friendly Shopping in Breckenridge
Independently owned Peak-a-Boo Toys brims with retro games and plush stuffed animals, gags and pranks (remember Whoopee Cushions?), Legos, locally written books and age-appropriate crafts and puzzles.
The whole family will get a kick out of Joy of Sox with its endless walls of cozy and hilarious socks and slippers. Soft and stylish hats, gloves and sleepwear sit alongside keepsakes and jewelry and the inventory is always changing, so every visit brings new giggles.
Funky costume hats and playful helmet covers are all the rage at Breckenridge Hat Company. Get lost in the aisles of athletic caps, Western hats, beanies and costume pieces. At Breck Kidz, oooh and aah over adorable baby and toddler outfits with matching pom hats while your littles ogle the sand, slime and play dough jars.
Shopping for Teens in Breckenridge
Find souvenirs, T-shirts, hoodies and hats to forever remember your trip to Breckenridge at longtime favorite Shirt Off My Back. Slingshots, sunglasses, plushies, and Colorado snowglobes and apparel will keep you browsing at Simply Breck.
Teens love the on-trend outerwear and rad skateboards at locally owned Limber Grove and the flat-brimmed hats and kicks at Mountain Vibe. The friendly staff at Marigold’s Farmhouse Funk & Junk will help your family navigate the busy shop’s vintage finds, clothes, candles and souvenirs.
One of Breckenridge’s most eclectic gift shops, Wandering Daisy will keep kids wandering for an afternoon with its local artistry, pottery, macrame, guitar string bracelets, knickknacks and DIY crafts.
Hands On Activities for Kids
Get hands-on at family-owned Ready, Paint, Fire and spend some time in the upstairs paint-your-own-pottery station. Choose from piggy banks, mugs and figurines or set up a candle-making or canvas painting session downstairs.
More than a rock shop, Nature’s Own beckons with fossils, minerals and crystals from around the world. Little ones who are into crystals and fossils will appreciate the impressive collection and can sort through meaningful (and affordable) polished pieces to add to their home collections.
