If only this were the benchmark for all toy shops. My wife and I came here three times on our recent trip as its just so awesome... And huge! There are life size transformer and dinosaur models, a great range of toys for kids of all ages and a massive ferris wheel right in the middle of the store. The... More

Took my tiny one here after he begged forever, actually not as much of a headache as I thought. I'd avoid weekends if possible, it get's EXTREMELY crowded. Otherwise, a Toys R Us worth going to.. if you can convince the kids not to ride the ferris wheel, itll save you a long wait because it's really nothing unique but... More

Maybe it was my mistake for going to FAO Schwartz first...whatever the case may be. Next time, I will avoid this store all together. Although the idea of a carousel inside a store is unique, it's not worth waiting for.

There is a ferris wheel in the entrance! Each carriage is designed to a specific theme e.g. my little pony, cabbage patch kids. There is any toy you can think of in this store. Worth a visit!

My 9 year old daughter Absolutely adored going here. The ferris wheel inside of toys r us was a highlight. Let's just face it, this place is toy store Mecca! Be forewarned... You have to pass though the scary Elmo and scary Dora characters busking for photo ops in Time Square. My kid never got the whole huge character thing.... More

I was just as excited to ride on the ferris wheel as my little nieces. Very long ride for only $5 per person. The surreal moment was when high atop the ride looking out onto the sidewalk a lady was posing with a guy who was only wearing tidy whities, cowboy boots and a cowboy hat - and it was... More

I spent almost two hours in this store! When you walk in you are greeted by a Ferris Wheel. As you wander around you will find a larger than life Barbie dream house, a life Size Optimus Prime, Spiderman, Superman, and Candy Land! A must stop for kids and adults!

I saw the ferris wheel on passing and insisted that I had to go on it! It was 10.30pm and there was no queue. Despite being 26 and 30 years old, we enjoyed our five minutes (felt quite a long time) on the ferris wheel and felt like kids again. Something worth doing for both families and couples.
