At Explorations, we believe learning and development should be a joyful experience that is upbeat and exciting.  As a customer, you will benefit from the experience with the Explorations staff of teachers, parents and grandparents, who will gladly help you pick out your gifts, games, books and educational items.   Our goal is to assist you in helping children to develop their motor skills and intellectual skills while experiencing the fun, relaxing atmosphere in our great Duluth, Downtown store.

Explorations is a toy store that’s fun AND educational.  It’s a place where children (and adults!) are exposed to innovation and entertainment each, and every, time you walk through our doors.  Discover an expansive inventory of toys and games: Each carefully hand-picked to ensure its educational and entertainment value.  Choose from the region’s largest selection of  Playmobil, Thomas Trains, Lego, and more.  Explorations also carries a great selection of Schleich Animals, Hot Wheels, Erector sets,  Do-A-Dot Art, Klutz Craft Kits, and much, much more!

In addition, Explorations offers a library of learning tools and teaching items that are not found anywhere else in the region.  From the infant stages of learning and development, to the young adult stages of higher level learning and more specific interests, Explorations offers plenty of selection! 

One of the finest reasons to visit Explorations is that you can comfortably bring the kids too - It’s “kid proof!”  There’s even a play area for the little people where they can “become one” with their own imaginations.

Gift wrapping is FREE with your purchases, along with our smiles!  We invite you to explore with us and open up an entire world of adventure, learning and fun for the children in your life.  At Explorations you can feel confident that every item is quality and will bring “good, clean, fun” to children.  And, you’ll enjoy stress-free shopping!

For your convenience, there’s free parking in the Holiday Center parking ramp which is easily accessible, right off First Street in Downtown Duluth.  Please remember to bring your parking slip with you to Explorations for validation.  Explorations is just a short walk from the parking ramp, with indoor cover.  For further directions see Map-Parking.
