June 2018 – present
LOCATION
Pixar Pier – Knick’s Knacks faces the front entrance of Pixar Pier. If you walk across the bridge and under the marquee, you’ll see it on your left, across from Lamplight Lounge. If you’re arriving in Pixar Pier from the opposite side (near Boardwalk Pizza & Pasta), follow the main path all the way around the bend that leads you over the Incredicoaster starting track. You’ll see the shop on your right, at the top of the small hill.
EXPERIENCE
Details:
- Merchandise – Pixar clothing, hats, toys, and home decor
- Price Range – Huge range: smaller keychains under $10, with some pricier items over $100
- Unique Features – The snowman from Knick Knack, concept art & Pixar artist drawings on display throughout the store
If you’re a Pixar fan, this shop should be your #1 destination in California Adventure. This shop has tons of merchandise from different Pixar films – not just the latest releases. You’ll find souvenirs for every age group, and a wide variety of items, from home goods to clothing to toys to pins…you get the idea.
SHOPPING TIPS
Knick’s Knacks is a largely open space, with three separate entrances on each side of the building. As a result, traffic flows pretty smoothly and there’s no better or worse time of day to shop. However, if you’re interested in purchasing a mug or something heavy, you might want to think about stopping by this shop on your way out of the park – there’s no fun in trying to keep a shopping bag under control while on a thrill ride!
TRIVIA
The shop’s name comes from the Pixar short Knick Knack, released in 1989.
Before Paradise Pier transformed into Pixar Pier, this space housed a gift shop called Treasures in Paradise.
