Gate-side toy stop in T1 for last‑minute kid bribes
Kids Store sits airside in T1 at Bergamo (BGY), so you pass it after security on the way to the Schengen gates. It’s a small, bright shop focused on toys, games and kids’ travel gear, handy if you realize at the last minute that the tablet is dead or the crayons are in checked luggage.
You’ll see the usual branded toys, plush animals, small puzzles and sticker books, along with kid-sized travel items like neck pillows and tiny backpacks. Prices run higher than city shops, as usual for airports, but you can still find small distraction items under €10 if you scan the lower shelves near the entrance.
Selection leans to impulse buys: think surprise bags, keyrings and miniature cars that fit easily in a cabin bag. There’s also a rotating rack of coloring books and activity pads that actually work on a tray table in an A320. Stock changes a bit seasonally, with more beach toys showing up ahead of summer school holidays out of BGY.
Hours generally match the main T1 retail schedule, opening early morning and closing after the last big wave of departures, so you’re covered for most Ryanair bank departures. Don’t count on it for ultra-late delays past midnight, though. One practical move: bring kids past after you clear security and set a firm “one thing each” rule before they see the shelves.
