Local tips

- If you are buying larger boxes or multiple gifts, consider bringing a reusable shopping bag or tote to make carrying everything easier.

A colourful playground of toys in Herning
Buddy Legetøj in Herning is a dedicated world of play, tucked into the commercial stretch around Herning Centret on Merkurvej. From the moment you step inside, you are met by bright lighting, wide aisles and a sea of colour from boxes, plush figures and themed displays. The store focuses solely on toys and related accessories, so every corner is geared towards children’s imagination, curiosity and energy. Rather than feeling like a warehouse, the space is organised in an intuitive way. Classic toy brands share room with current trends, so grandparents searching for wooden trains will find them just as easily as teens looking for the latest collectibles. Seasonal stands, from carnival masks to autumn crafts and Christmas calendars, keep the store feeling fresh throughout the year.From first baby toys to big‑kid adventures
One of Buddy’s strengths is its breadth across age groups. At the front you will typically find eye‑catching items for younger children: soft toys, rattles, sensory playthings and robust vehicles that can survive the sandpit. Further in, shelves rise with construction sets, dolls, action figures and creative kits, giving plenty of choice for school‑age children and tweens. Game shelves are a natural magnet for families who enjoy playing together. Here you can browse everything from simple card decks that travel well to complex strategy games ideal for long winter evenings. Many boxes are displayed face‑out, making it easy to scan themes and pick something that suits a child’s interests, whether that’s fantasy, animals, science or puzzles.Layout designed for families and strollers
The store’s layout is made with families in mind. Aisles are generally wide enough for prams, and displays are arranged so that younger children can see and reach many items themselves. Lower shelves hold robust toys that can withstand curious hands, while more delicate items tend to be higher up. The overall effect is lively but not chaotic, helping adults keep an overview while kids explore. Lighting is bright and neutral, avoiding the gloom sometimes found in older shops. Clear signage and grouped themes – such as outdoor play, costumes, building, or learning toys – help you move quickly if you are on a focused mission for a specific gift. It is the kind of place where you can either pop in for five minutes or happily wander for far longer than planned.Part of a broader local shopping day
Buddy’s location on Merkurvej makes it a straightforward addition to a wider day out in Herning. Many visitors pair a stop here with fashion, book or electronics shopping in the surrounding area, or combine it with a relaxed café break. For local families, it is a convenient source of birthday presents, party bags and last‑minute surprises for school events, with typical Danish toy‑shop pricing and regular campaigns. Because it sits within an established retail zone, there is usually access to basic amenities such as restrooms, seating areas and food options elsewhere in the centre or nearby. This adds to the practicality of visiting with younger children who may need breaks, snacks or a quiet corner during a longer shopping run.Practical details for planning your visit
Buddy Legetøj Herning keeps consistent daytime opening hours most of the week, including Saturdays and shorter hours on Sundays, making it easy to visit after school or work. The shop is fully indoors, so it is a reliable choice for rainy days and chilly winters. Mobile reception in the area is generally strong, allowing you to check gift lists or coordinate with family members as you browse. A typical visit lasts anywhere from a quick half hour to a more leisurely hour or so, depending on how many children you are shopping with and how decisive they feel. Whether you are hunting for a single special gift or restocking a toy cupboard, the store offers a focused, all‑in‑one environment dedicated to play.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
