About
Tumbleweed Toys is what children of all ages dream about! From the building itself, to the wooden floors and the high ceilings, it’s more like a magical cabin in the woods than a toy store! And be prepared to be amazed. It's chock full of toys and games!
This is a great destination with the kids, or if you want to surprise your little ones back in your Sunriver vacation rental, a trip here with your best friend or partner is the perfect way to spend some time in Sunriver. Whether you want something educational, or you want something just for sheer fun, you’ll have a lot of options. The prices are really affordable, and the toys and games are high quality.
As I mentioned, Tumbleweed Toys is in downtown Sunriver. It’s next to Cascade Guides & Outfitters, and behind Sunriver Rocks. There’s plenty of parking in the general area. The nearest parking area is on the eastern side of the store. The environment inside is simply lovely. The floors are all hardwood, and there’s a nice earthy feel to the whole place.
I was greeted with a friendly hello and a smile as soon as I went inside, and there was just a very good vibe that’s hard to describe. They play fun music, but it’s not too loud; just the right volume. The staff were busy organizing toys and helping parents and kids. I could tell that they made a point of hiring friendly people who enjoy kids and toys. They open at 9 AM and close at 7 PM, seven days a week. Anyway, as I was leaving, it started to get really busy, and I imagine they do a pretty booming business, especially in summer.

Suffice it to say, that you’ll find something that the child in your life—or the kid in you!—will absolutely love.
Their sign on the outside says 'Fun for All,' and I guess they mean it. Inside is a selection of interesting toys and items for adults, including hot tub accessories, journals, pool toys, and inflatables.
While you’re out and about, visit Sunriver Rocks, a rock and mineral store. They have an amazing and beautiful selection of rocks, minerals, fossils, and even dinosaur eggs. This is a cool place to bring your well-behaved child. There are a lot of delicate items, but as long as you keep an eye on little Johnny or Susie, all will be well.
If you’re feeling the need for caffeine, try Brewed Awakenings Coffee Roasters. They have a delicious brew, and you can bring a bag of beans back to your Casago vacation rental for the next morning.
