toy aisle

Store's children's corridor

The toy aisle is the section of a store where toys are displayed and sold.

The phrase often evokes childhood wonder or parental dread: We can't walk through the toy aisle without a meltdown.

It serves as shorthand for gendered marketing debates, since toy aisles traditionally divide into pink and blue sections.
