It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, and Let The Children Play Toyshop & Games Store is getting ready to jingle all the way into its biggest and brightest festive season yet. The whole community is invited to join the fun.
Proudly locally owned since 2013, the much-loved toyshop has become a cornerstone of Mackay’s festive season. Known not only for their quality products, but for their active involvement in the community, this year, the team is rolling out a Christmas calendar worthy of a fairy-tale finale.
This Friday, 12 December, the long-running tradition with the Mackay and District Holden and GM Club returns, bringing rumbling engines, beaming families, and one very special VIP!
Club members will escort Santa through the City Heart in classic style before he arrives at the toyshop at 6.30pm for a night of Christmas-themed games, giveaways, karaoke and photo ops.
It’s just one example of how the toyshop continues to champion community connection.
Recent highlights include A Very Merry Christmas Escape, a festive collaboration with Escape Rooms Mackay, which sold out so quickly that an Easter-themed version is already in the works. Year-round, the toyshop hosts activities that spotlight local groups and businesses, ensuring playtime strengthens the fabric of the region.
In-store, families can explore a range of toys, games and puzzles, for all creative minds, many of which can’t be found in big-box retailers, and with knowledgeable staff ready to help customers discover gifts that spark imagination. For those who prefer the online shopping experience, their webstore offers convenience, free local delivery and easy click-and-collect.
As Christmas approaches, the team extends a heartfelt thanks to the Mackay community for more than a decade of support. Because when locals shop local, the whole town stays bright, joyful and wonderfully full of play.
