The Wizard’s Chest

You have might have heard tell of The Wizard’s Chest. If so, you know that it is a great place to get a Halloween costume – and you would be correct. What you might not know, however, is all sorts of the wonderful delights held inside The Wizard’s Chest. This one-of-its-kind, family-owned store contains magical treasures for everyone!

Orignally opened in 1983, The Wizard’s Chest drew inspiration from the fantastic world of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle Earth. Starting in just 850 square feet, the store would grow to become much more than just a local toy store. It grew to become an 8,000 square foot magical castle in the heart of Denver. In 2015, it doubled in size and now The Castle is an 16,000 square feet whimsical, colorful escape from the drab bleakness of daily shopping drudgery. Through the main gates, visitors are met by a metal wizard as they traverse the main entrance. Inside, by the professional magic counter, they are greeted by the wizard, Winchester Slatebeard. Clothed in his antique purple velvet and wielding a crystal ball tipped staff, Winchester has been helping to mind the store since the beginning.

Inside the entrance is the beginning of a magical experience at The Castle. Squeeze a stuffed animal, witness our in-house magicians astound with their tricks, or try your hand at juggling or spinning a diabolo. Here is where you’ll find that perfect quirky gift for the nerd culture aficionado in your life (and maybe even a cool something for yourself).
