FAO Schwartz is huge. Its been around forever and my parents used to go when they were kids. Its usually very crowded. They have interactive areas for everybody to try things out. The many times I've been Ive never bought anything but I've played with all of it. Its just a fun place to visit in NYC.

FAO Schwartz really is about the experience. The scale and selection is amazing, as is the opportunity to view rare and valuable toys like historic (and new) Stieffs. It is possible to get affordable things here (nice plushes under $30), but it's also easy to spend a fortune. Fun for adults and kids alike.

When I was a kid, one of my favorite places in the world was FAO Schwartz. Not that we were rich, but it was such a fun place to visit. You could spend an afternoon amazing at all the beautiful dolls, cute stuffed animals, great games and then if I was lucky, convince my Mom to buy a toy for the ride home. The store has moved since I was younger, they're accross the street now. It's really a showplace now. The prices are outrageous and the place is always packed. It's really more of a tourist attraction now than a place to shop.

Ah to be a kid again. If I knew then what I knew now and I had access to a credit card I would have been shopping! FAO Schwarz has everything. They have dolls. They have GI Joes. They have imported toys from Sweden and Bratz dolls that look like hookers to me but my niece loves them. They have a giant keyboard made famous by Tom Hanks in Big and that giant Ferris Wheel inside. Santa Claus eat your heart out.

Now I know you have had to hear about this historic toy store. It's only the greatest one of all time. Where not better than in New York City! This three story toy store offers fun for children and people of all ages. If you're buying a scooter or video games, it doesn't matter, they have it all. Play with all of the toys at the store if you want, they don't mind at all, which makes this an awesome place to shop.

One of the biggest and bestest toy stores in New York if not in the world. If Santa set up a toy store in New York it would look just like Fao Schwarz. They have floors of every toy on your kids Christmas list. Theres a working carousel inside the store. They even have that giant piano Tom Hanks danced on in Big. Plus you can even play with some of the toys. Great place to take a date. Or a kid.

FAO has turned into a tourist attraction in New York City. It is one of the biggest toy stores that I have been to and is definitely a fun place to tour. There are a lot of activities and sights inside that will entertain kids. However, when it comes to actually purchasing things, FAO Schwarz is not the place to go. The merchandise there is heavily overpriced and most items are a rip off. You can get most of the things at other places for much cheaper and are probably better off doing so. If you are in the area and have some spare time, it's definitely a fun place to walk through, but leave your wallets at home.

You do not go to FAO without expecting crowds and high prices but you know you will have a blast with the amazing items they have including the always large teddy bears/other animals. This is really such a great place to have a good time being a kid or taking your kids. Overall, a must see whether you are a tourist or a New York native. Have fun and splurge a little bit because that is the wonderful experience of going there.

Fun to browse for adults as well as children, this famous toy store has lots of what else? toys to play with. Everywhere you look, there are fun and enticing toys beckoning you. A great place to go on a rainy day to spend a couple of hours. Great displays of Legos and Playmobil, there is even a small Lego area for kids to build their own creations. Lots and lots of beautiful dolls with all their accessories, giant stuffed animals. No bargains here but what do you expect from a Fifth Avenue toy store?
