We’re aiming to open our new location in late spring - renovations are well underway, and we’ll share the exact opening date as soon as we can!

We’re moving to a larger, brighter location in the south end of Barrie. We picked a quiet, accessible area that reflects the same values we’ve always stood for: family, sustainability, and making life a little easier (and more affordable) for parents.

The exact address? We’ll be revealing it very soon!

A fresh new space, the same Once Upon a Child Barrie you've come to know and love for nearly three decades.

We’ve outgrown our current store — thanks to YOU! Our new location will let us:

• Double our buying capacity so we can process buys faster, accept more items, and serve even more local families.
• Create a bigger, brighter shopping experience with more room to browse and explore.
• Bring you even more of the amazing finds you love!

We’ve truly loved being at Cedar Pointe — it’s a tough goodbye. But this move isn’t just about more space. It’s about protecting the things that matter most. Fair prices, space to serve more families, and jobs for an incredible team that’s been growing strong for nearly 30 years

We’re still your locally owned, community-rooted business — just with more room to welcome you, your kids, and your gently used treasures.

Yes! We’ll be launching a New Baby Club full of freebies and special offers just for families with little ones. It’s one of many surprises to come!

We had to start fresh! Our old Instagram was deleted, so we’d LOVE your support in rebuilding.
